But until newspaper men that their anrual meetings should be | devoted more to the transaction of important business affecting the fra- ternity, there can be but a certain degree of usefullness derived there- , from. ‘True enough the mere fact | of a reunian once a year 1s not with- | out much good. It serves to bring the individual members ot a_ great and powerful pro‘ession, scattered over a large terntory, face to face, that each may be better able to judge the style, character and ability of the other, thereby enlightening the judge- ment and rendering more accurate any estimate placed upon a rival and | co-worker in the fie!d of journalism. The power of the press 1s the won- | der of the mineteenth century. That learn | | | | | power can he weilded for good or | ——— evil.

The ability to do this is natural but it is trained and sharpened by the frequeat inter- change of thought, ideas and pur- | pose with those of his profession, | the chief part of whom. are laboring tor the same end. In this direction then, these annual meetings contri- bute much. But, this is not all to be achieved by the newspaper. Asa_ business enterprise thing else is desirable and very ne esary. The country 1s full of new some- paper cormorants, seeking to obtain | something for nothing, to enslave and rob the country press of its in- dependence. Chief among these is the foreign advertiser and the aver- age traveling theatrical company. For the superiative check and inso- lence ot these bummers the news Paper traternitv is chiefly responsi ble. Whv? because, amid the gen- eral good time and hilarity ot convention day, they never find time | enough to take action to counteract the systematic imposition. Unless at the next meeting the Southwest Missouri Press Association redeems atselt in this line and establishes a worthy example tor others its exis- tence will have been crippled in the very incipiency. We meet tor busi- ness but we perform none. atter let the program be arranged differently, and let us profit hy the experience of past m 2 \t the meeting of the City Council last w eek a petition was presented by S.
