Comments Of State Press Boys
on Recent Editorial Meeting

Kindred Tribune: The State Editor
ial association meeting held at Fargo
on Jan. rs and ~ was without a bee
and Fargo has again proven herself
the queen OF entertainers.
The entertainment and reception COM
mitteeS were fully prepared to fulfill
their arduous duties and accomplished
their labors in a most c~ommendable
manner.
The ladies who attended are under
great obligations TO Mrs. Western
hagen, Mrs. Baker and the remainder
of the committee in furnishing them
the time of their lives.
The Forum, The Courier News,
Western Newspaper Union and others
surely did their part not only in enter
tanning but in furnishing the most in
structive programme, from an educa-
tional standpoint, which it has been
our pleasure to participate in.
The attendance, for a winter meeting
vas phenomenal.
Mayor Lowell, the commercial club,
the educational institutions and in
fact the entire city made it a special
ty to give the editors the best at their
command. That a feeling of deep APP
probation, for Fargo's sociability and
IiberaIity, exists throughout the press
of North Dakota, is conceded.
Minot Optic:s That Fargo is entitled
to the lasting gratitude of the editors
for the excellent manner in which they
were entertained during the annual
convention of the North Dakota Edi-
torial association is the consensus OF
opinion among the editors throughout
the state. The commercial club turn
ed over it's spacious rooms to the edi-
tors, and President Hardy and Secre-
tary Slime did everything possible to
make the meeting of the editors a sue
cess.
Kenmare Pioneer: The editors were
royalty entertained by the citizens of
Fargo and this was by far the best
meeting ever held in the history of the
association.
There was not an editor in attend
ance but will vote Fargo as being Sec
ond to no city in the state as to know
ing how to do things.
Enderlin Independent: To say that
the pencil pushers had a good time
goes without saying when we say that
they met in Fargo. For Fargo is the
best town in the state in which to have
a good time and her. editorial push
are a lot Of royal good fellows who
know just how to entertain, and they
certainly e1erted themselves on this

But in addition to the good time
the meetings were full Of good sug-
gestions and much information to any
one in the publishing business who
wants to make the most of his OPP
portunities. The members gave their
undivided attention to the business
meetings and the ably written papers
and exhaustive discussions.
