shudders at the awful consequences that
may result from the entertainment furn-
ished the country editors last week by
the Minneapolis Tribune. He says the
object of the entertainment was to boost
stand-pat reactionary policies under
the guise Of Americanism and this be-
ing the case he did not feel that he
could fraternize with his brethren Of
the press this year. For twenty years
past at these annual meetings we have
sat at the banquet table in company
with Victor Lawson and on each occa-
sion the banquet was furnished and paid
for by the newspaperme and jobbers
of the Twin Cities, but it never occurred
to Vic that Belshazzar feasts were be-
ingserved until he became disciple of
Townley. If he found it impossible to
fraternize with that splendid aggrega-

EDITORIAL COMMENTS ABOUT
STATE Meeting
CouNxRY EDITORS MUST FIGHT
OWN BATTLES

100 per cent Americanism' was the
theme of two-day convention of the
Minnesota Editorial association in Min
neapolis this week. The Minneapolis
rural districts at banquet and their
representatives took occasion to inform
the editors that there is an immediate
need for campaign along these lines.
"The editors returned home to take up
the fight for Americanism" according to
one of the other metropolitan dailies.
Curious as it may seem, a large por-
ton of those in attendance were not par
ticularly startled by the information i'm
parted to them along this line, nor did
many of them indicate in their rather
discreet day, that they had in mind any
particular change of program in mind
upon their arrival home.
Someone in authority it appears
lacked the knowledge that the men,
bers of the Minnesota Editorial asso-
citation are in the first place about as
much American as it is possible to be;
and that in the second place they are
in very close touch with conditions in
their own communities, and as conse-
quence where there has been need of
Americanization, it has been in progress
for several years among the rural edi-
tors.
If the metropolitan dailies have just
O1SCONeEeU IL III lnclr COul1IuNlLlcS, II
indicates that they have been out of
touch.
The country editors for the most part
appear to be able to deal with their own
problems, successfully, and as a rule
they have to deal with them alone, un-
less some outside agency sees profit for
itself in assisting.-M. J. MCGOWAN,
Swift County Monitor.
SAW NOTHING BUT CHICKEN AND
A GOOD TIME.
The editors Of the state were able
to break bread with The Tribune hosts
last Friday night and to emerge from
the West Hotel without having their
their political opinions assaulted or
their state association in any way
compromised. 1t was social gather
ing of men and women engaged in the
same kind Of work, and nothing more.
The editor of The News does not share
the ideas which The Tribune has on
how to meet various state problems at
the present time, differs from some of
these ideas very strenuously in fact,
but he does not feel that acceptance
Of the hospitality of The Tribune i'm
piled going the limit and accepting
everything that publication stands for.
That, however. appears to be the idea
of the, willmar editor, Indicating a
peculiar type of reasoning that has ap-
parently thrown overheard all sense
Of proportion.
There is no need to fear that the edi-
tors of Minnesota have been brought
up with a chicken dinner. Brother
Lawson knows better if he will do
little thinking, knows that the big
majority are not corruptible. AS The
Republican Gazette of Willmar points
out.-Ludvig Roe, Montevidep News.

and banquet. According to Editor Law

some weeks ago. That question has not
yet been answered directly.-C. w.
Henke, Dasse1 Dispatch.
SHOULD HAVE GRINNED ANDB0RN
The Willmar Tribune refused to at
tend the Editorial convention because
that other Tribune of Minneapolis gave
a banquet to the boys. Brother Lawson
believes that it was given for the pur-
pose Of boosting stand-pat and reaction

is all true. There is no harm in hearing
the other side of the question and it's a
mighty cheap skate that can be pur-

UNDULY EXCITED
The fact that the metropolitan press
is unduly excited about something at
this time. reminds one of time-worn
story about an able-bodied young man
who was driving to town, with horse
and buggy, accompanied by an elderly
aunt. An automobile approached from
the distance and the aunt became very
much excited She stood up in the seat
and waved frantically to the driver of
the car to stop when it was yet long
