Editorial Association assembled in
CrOOkstOn last week for the annual
winter meeting. The invasion of the
city by so many practitioners of the an
Gent "black art made it necessary to
invoke the presence Of the gentle and
benign spirit of the valley to counteract
any evil influence engendered by the
.scribes. 1t is needless to say that all
the powers of darkness vanished at the
approach of the good spirit Of the val
ley and the most harmonious, success
full, best attended and mutually profit
able meeting in the history of the as
ISOLATION, was held. The spirit Of the
Red River Valley, which is but an
other expression for useful service,
helpful cooperation, square deal,
efficiency, general uplift, community
betterment enterprise and patriotism,
conquered the hearts of the wielders of
the pen, who when they departed for
their respective homes, asked the spirit
whose acquaintance they had made, to
accompany them and to inspire them to
do better work, each in his own field
and among his own people.
It was the privilege and pleasure of
the editor Of this paper to swap stories
and break bread with fellow members
of the craft To brush up against
those engaged in the same line Of work,
imbibe new ideas and get the view point
OF the other fellow, is often Of great
benefit in the conduct of any line of
business.
Upon our arrival at the hotel in
Crookston, we were ushered into the
presence Of a man with a hyphenated
title, namely Secretary Treasurer A. G.
Rutlege, who in a jiffy provided us
with badge, banquet tickets and other
literature, including a passport a yard
long furnished by the Crookston Times,
admitting bearer to everything under
the sun and then some.
The first session of the convention
was held Thursday evening at the
rooms of the Crookston Association Of
Public Affairs, when President H. Il.
Mitchell of the Bemidji Sentinel, de-
1iyered his annual address and Secre-
fary-TreaSurer A. G. Rutledge submit
ted his annual report. The efficient
work Of these two officials, is RESPONSE
BILE largely for the success Of the con-
santten The vigilent and indnfa tigahlas
Doc Rutlege once upon a time pub
lished newspaper at Argyle and it is
believed that the Red River Valley
spirit descended upon him when a resi-
dent Of Marshall county and fitted him
to be the best convention organizer in
the United States. Doc never sleeps
when he has an editorial convention on
his hands. ~

DR. c.. A. Prosser, director of the
Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, de-
hvered very interesting address. He
first told about the aims of the Dun
woody Institute, which is a great in
dustrial school for boys, founded by the
late Mr.. Dunwoody Minneapolis mil
lionaire and philantropist, and later
still further endowed by the bequest Of
Mrs. Dunwoody running into millions.
instruction is furnished free to all boys
Of Minnesota in a large, number of in
dustrial lines-including the art of
printing. Mr.. PrOsser made the editors
sit up and take notice when he suggest
ed the possibility of sending daily
digests Of the news of this world to the
country press by wireless telephone
from the wireless station at the Insti-
tute. All that would be necessary
would be to install a wireless receiving
instrument at the newspaper Offices
wanting these messages. The cost of
such an instrument would be about
$500. At given time each day a syn
Opsis Of the important news collected
and edited by the Institute, may be
flashed to all communities wishing the
service. That telephone messages, the
human voice, may be sent and received
bywireless is another Of the triumphs
a. science, and we may well inquire,
what is coming next"
