neither Of them would, either.
The truth is that no one man in
the world is good enough to be trust
ed to color or influence the report
that comes to you as to the life blood
OF your newspapers, and I pray to
God that the time may never come
when any individual can dictate to
the newspapers OF the United States
the nature Of the reports that they
give.
In 1925 I was honored by you on
the occasion Of the completion OF my
25th anniversary as president Of our
organization, and one of the great
events Of that day was the presenta-
tion Of the book Of remembrance from
those who have been associated with
me in the management of the organ
izaton-the directors and the on
GERS. That was to me a day of fulfill
ment.
Books Are Precious.
On last Saturday night the Board Of
Directors and those officers and direc-
tors Of the organization who were
still surviving and able to come pre-
sented me with the second edition of
this book Of remembrance, and MOTH
ing will ever be more precious to me
than those expressions.
In all these years l think that I
was q friend and remained q friend
until his death of every director that
have served with. There were some
on the board at one time or another
who were not as friendly and as ap-
preciative of my virtues as they might
have been, but l say with enormous
pride that afterward every man on the
board came to be friend of mine,
and wouldn't be true to myself If I
didn't say that I think every man
who served on that board in all my
experience did the best that he could
for the Associated Press, that there
was no lack Of loyalty on the part
Of any member Of the board in all
those years.
remember in the old book OF
remembrance that Mr.. Don Seitz,
whom a great many Of you remember,
wrote, as part of his letter to me at
that time. that Napoleon asked sieyes
what he did during the French revo-
luton. He replied. Il have survived" "

Fought for PRINCIPLES.
Col. Diehl has referred to the time
OF IS years ago when he indicted
me into the mysteries Of the Asso-
ciated Press. He found me skeptical,
not as to ideals, but as to the prac-
tical possibilities, but finally left me
convinced. and from that day to this
I have fought for the principles that
he enunciated.
Mr.. Bellamy has said truly that
nothing could make me happier today
than to know that this generation
were not skeptics as to the things
that we fought for in 1893 and from
then on. 1t would be tragic to me
II didn't feel that the same belief
IN the vital necessity for a free,
unhampered press was with you to-
day as 1t was with me in 1898. I
would feel that IS years had been
wasted, so far as was concerned,
and that the press Of the country was
IN a dire situation, but have no such
thought and am, as Mr.. Bellamy
said. happy in the. belief that this
generation goes on carrying the ban
ner OF an independent press, and the
banner Of the Associated Press as
the representative of that independent
press. don't mean that there should
be a dead hand, that times do not
change, that there shouldn't be
changes in the organization, that you
don't have to give way for the COM
mon good. that we shouldn't modify

Text of Noyes Address
Retiring associated Press President Says 1900
Members Guard Unbiased News.

! By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 26.-The text
Of the address Of Retiring President
Frank B. Noyes yesterday before the
38th annual meeting Of the Associ-
ated Press:
am frightened to try to say any
thing, and that isn't common with
me. 1t isn't possible for me to say
how much I appreciate or to make
any adequate expression Of my ap-
probation for the kindness that have
received these last few days, and, in
deed, through nearly 40 years, from
the membership and the directors Of
the Associated Press. In the last few
days the expressions Of the Board of
Directors, and the meeting in its &C
ton this morning, moved me more
than I can say. OF course, every time
I draw full breath I realize how
much exaggeration there has been in
the expressions of all of you as to my
service. nevertheless behind it was
the kindness and attentiveness that
has made you say it, and I can never
forget that.
First, I want to say that no one
knows better than I that whatever
the contribution I have been able to
give to the Associated Press, its sue
cess has not been due to me, but the
success of the Associated Press as all
Of you know, has been through the
staff who have daily gathered the
news. Under the direction Of two
great men. who have served as gen.
eral managers, that news was gathered
under the principles that we laid
down. And it is also true that II I
had attempted to interfere with that
unbiased report I would have been
banished. If it were the general man.
ager or his predecessor who had at
tempted to color the news or serve a
biased report to you, he would have
| been banished, because that is the
whole basis Of the organization. Thir-
| teen hundred members of the Asso-
, ciated Press, as we'll as the Board OF
, Directors. are on watch hour by hour
and day by day to see that that report
Is not contaminated, is not biased, does
not represent the beliefs of the opin-
ions or the desires of any one indi-
vidual. That, after all, is the real
basis OF what the Associated Press is,
and that is the reason why in these
days at time some of us seem unrea .
sonably opposed to private control by
q private organiZatio of a dominant
news service serving the newspapers
OF the United States.
No One Man Good Enough.

The members by voice vote re-
Jected proposal to permit Associated
Press news to be broadcast through
member papers, on commercially spon-
eored radio programs.
Proponents argued that the plan
would provide the Associated Press and
Its members with additional revenue
through extra assessments on papers
which sold news to radio sponsors. Op-
ponents contended the plan might
raise unfounded suspicious that such
sponsors were influencing the news.

John Zwach, representative-at-
large from Brown and Redwood

in promoting a Redwood County
Taxpayers meeting, to be held at
the court house in Redwood Falls,
Friday, December 16, at p. M,
at which newly elected Legislators
will be given an expression OF
opinion from farmers, business
men, county, township and NUM-
cipal officials.
Harvey L. Swennes, Redwood
county representative and Alex
Seifert, state senator from Brown
and Redwood counties as well as
Mr.. ZWach will appear before the
group ito find out how the people
who elected them feel about the
many trying and complex mat
tiers that are sure to confront
them when they meet in st. Paul
early in January.
d. L. Crimmins, association
president said the newly elected
legislators welcomed the opport-
unity to appear at the gathering
and urged every citizen of the
community to attend to voice his
opinion on the issues that will be
discussed.
Among the important problems
that are sure to be brought up in
the open forum are: the question
of returning administration of re-
lief to local government; main
tenance of a four cent gas tax;
distribution Of income tax to ru-
raj and city schools; continuation
of counties paying one-sixth OF
old age pension costs and liberal

and without sounding the siren
for fear of drawing a work-ham-

BY the time they arrived the
animal had slid the rest of the
way to the river and was lying
across a rock in the water. The
ice was broken through.
Attempts to rescue it with a
rope failed, so laddies equipped
with boots made their way to
the river, led the horse across the
ice, through the elk pen and onto

Racket Pair
Brought Here
for Hearing
KAY SEABORN PICKED
UP WEDNESDAY,; KISE
GOES AFTER THEM

Kenneth Dinsmore and Kay
Seaborn were picked up in Min
neapolis this week by state bur-
eau of criminal apprehension
agents and will be returned to
Redwood Falls today to face
charges of larceny in connection
with a church directory racket
worked here Friday.
Sheriff L. j. Kise went to Min
neapolis this morning to get them
Dinsmore was arrested Mon
day through an automobile IL
cense and Miss Seaborn Wednes-
day. Her apprehension came
about through a description conn
piled by Redwood Falls police
from information from Redwood
Falls merchants and broadcast by
KIND to the Twin Cities.
The pair collected around $40
from Redwood Falls and North
Redwood businessmen, purport-
eddy for ads in church directory
They left about $50 of it with
Judge Tom Reed Jr., "as an evil
dence of good faith,' then fed
town.
Dinsmore visited Rev. Godfrey
O'Sullivan of st. GATHERINGS
church Thursday afternoon, said
he was compiling tourist guide
of churches and asked him to give
the time of masses in summer
and winter, the name of the
church and his name.
Rev. O'Sullivan wrote out the
information for him--and then
the pair went to work.
Using his signature underneath,
they inserted words to this effect:
"You may list me in your church
directory and deliver me $50 cop
les free Of charge" Rev. OSulli-
van made no such order.
Miss Seaborn canvassed the
business section, using the priests
name and telling prospects that
he had sent her to them. She col
lected sums of from $3.50 to $40
for ads in the directory.
A. j. Green of the Variety store
and Harold Berger of the Pam
torium became suspicious and
called Rev. O'Sullivan, telling
him his name was being used. He
immediately started a search for
the pair, finding them near the
Redwood Hotel about three hours
later. He held them until police
arrived.
They were taken to Judge
Reeds municipal court about 4: 80
p. m.
