expressing their regrets for not being
abb to attend.
Aside from the portions of the pre-
gran directly related to the newspaper
business, the representatives Of the
nsst important commissions Of our
stats government, contributed largely
to the value of the meeting. The
6tate Board of Public Utilities was
represented by member of that board,
- also was the State Tax commission
aad the Industrial Relations eOmmls
sion. The first two of these addressed
the editors and business men Of Glen
wood following a banquet given by tie
GlenwOOd business men to the editors
at the Colorado hotel on Friday even
inG. The address on the Indutrial Re-
lations commission and the eompensa-
tioa act was delivered by Assistant
District Attorney Wayne c. Williams
Of Denver at the session on Saturday
morning. This was perhaps the most
made during the session.
Aa editor is confronted with many
perplexing questions, ss is any other
individual which deals directly with
the public. Some of these were brought
before the editors and thrashed out in
. manner which was sure to prove help
full to all who attended the convention.
At the close of the meeting rssolu-
tioas were proposed and adopted which
expressed the appreciation Of the edit
ors to the business men of Glenwood
and the hotel people for their excellent
treatment and generous entertainment
accorded them during the meeting.
Nothing was too good for the editors.
They were first given free plunge al
the big famous swimming pool. Friday
evening An eight course banquet was
served at the Colorado hotel. Saturday
morning = free visit to the caves was
allowed. A proposed trip by auto to
Hanging lake had to be abandoned on
account of the work of the big steam
shovel On the road leading to the lake
obstructing the travel.-Rifle Reveile.
For several years the editor of this
paper has been paying dues rs a mem
Der of the Colorado Editorial assOcia-
tion, but the only thing he had to show
for it was q lot Of neatly printed re-
eeipts, bearing the signature of Alva
Swain, secretary. Heretofore all of the
meetings within our time in Colorado
have been held in the eastern part Of
the state, where all the wit, wealth and
beauty is eentered, but this year it was
decided to hold = meeting out on the
roughneek western slope, and that let
us in on it.
Last Friday and Saturday the asso-
citation met at Glenwood, and, of the
400 members Of the association, all
were there except $50. Just why there
wasn't larger attendance is not estap-
lished, but it is to be assumed, from a
discussion of the subject that was held
at one of the sessions, that the pay
ment of railroad fares had something
very largely to do with it.
At any rate, only the very wealthiest
of us were there; such editors as Char
lie Adams of the Montrose Press, who
drove down in his own car; Charli.
Leckenby and Dell Gee of the Steam
boat Pilot, who also are Independent Of
the railroads; George Kimball, former.
ly of the Craig Empire, who now revels
in 160-acre dry farm, which repre-
sents only . small part of the immense
fortune he carved out of Craig; Guy
Hardy of the Canon City Record, who
is said to own about half of the towu
which he honors by his presence, and
has designs ON the other half; and lot
of other chaps and chapesses of whose
wealth We did not have time to learn
how they got it, but of whose posses
sion of it We have NO reason to douDt.
1t may be that some Of them have a
better scheme for laying up money, or
getting ahold Of it, than Leckenby and
Gee of the Steamboat Pilot, but, if So,
we haven't learned of it. There are
three banks in Steamboat. When Gee
wants to borrow some money, he exc
cutes a note at one of these banks and
gets the obligiag Leckenby to endorse
it, whereupon the bank Immediately
loosens. Then, II be be similarly situat-
ed with regard to monetary shoratge,
Leekenby goes to another one of the
money temples, executes . note and the
obliging Gee ssaesAes it, which is all
perfectly satisfaeteRy to the bank and
