The Glenwood post., 1920-07-24
COLORADO EDITORS
MEET IN GlENwooD

held i'll Glenwood last Friday and Sat,
urday and, judging from the many
complimentary expressions of the mem
bers during their short stay, we must
infer that the executive officers could
net haze selected as a meeting point
place that would have been more sat
isfacfory to t'n members.
The FIRST session was held Friday af
ternoon in the ballroom of the Hotel
Colorado with statement from sec
rotary Geo. T. Haubrich, after which
the president of the association, Mrs.
Lois Fl. Allen, editor and proprietor of
the Canon City Leader, declared ;he
meeting open, and introduced Mayor
c. W. Darrow of Glenwood who deliv-
cred the address of welcome, assuring
the scribes that, notwithstanding the
dry conditions imposed upon the state
by people other than lawyers and edi-
tors, he would guarantee the visitors
the right to fill, and refill if need be,
Inelr 1laSkS dl the cochbah spiiS ,
also assuring them that if they failed
to get on the good side of the police
officers. and their favorite wink would
not protect them from arrest, he
would exert in their behalf all his in
fluence with the police magistrate, who
is a retired printer and editor, with a
supply of pity and sympathy for his
fellow craftsmen in distress. Mr.. Oar
rows brief remarks were we'll receiv-
ed and then the convention proceeded
to business particularly applicable to
the craft.
Among other things the executive
committee was instructed to take 'ac-
tion loolong to the passage of bill by
the coming session of the legislature,
having for its purpose an increase in
all legal publications, the editors Of
the state having realized for several
wears that the present legal rates are
ridiculously low, and more especially
now in view of the increased cost of
everything which enters into news
paper.
The discussion upon various sub
jects were exceedingly interesting to
members of the craft, and many gues-
tions were taken up and disposed of
in a manner which the members be-
lieved would be to the interest of the
profession. In these discussions the
hest of feeling prevailed and there was
nothing at any time to mar the har-
mony and agreement which naturally
should characterize meeting of this
kind. Professional topics were handl-
ed in a professional way by those who
by years of public service in the field
have proved their right to be heard in
such meetings.
Upon invitation Of the Hotel Colo
RADIO the members availed themselves
of several opportunities to sample our
splendid baths, and Friday evening
they enjoyed general frolic in the big
swimming pool, returning to the hotel
and rounding out the day by partici-
pating in ball prepared for the edi-
tors and other of the guests of the
house.
The business sessions were closed at
noon Saturday, and in the afternoon
through the thoughtful arrangement OF
Secretary Switzer of the Chamber of
Commerce, they were treated to an
auto excursion up the Grand canon as
far rs the convict road camp. and then
taken to Carbondale where they were
treated to fresh buttermilk from the
Farmers creamery. Then they all
wen. past the big Sweet ranch, and,
after viewing this and other hne
ranches on the way, their impressions
of the farming possibilities Of Garfield
county were greatly enhanced.
Tn the evening the editors partoo@
of splendid banquet at the Ho'e'
Colorado, at which John f. Grecnwa't
of the Mountain states Monitor, actea
as toastmaster, the speakers OF fhe
