KI.1TOKS IN SESSION Teft on a 12 "das'steamer tH7t7r.,.,;""' T: T ,. 1"!
p During the past week It waa the
privilege of The Review editor to
visit Seattle, the 1909 Mecca of nearly
all travellers to the Pacific North
west, and while there to participate
In tbo 25th annual session of the Na
tional Edlorial Association, as one
of the eight members from Oregon.
As the Seattle people never do things
by halves, the editors were splendidly
entertained during their week's etny.
The first day's session In the
Chamber of Commerce headquarters
was closed at 4 o'clock, p. m., and
the entire delegation given a splen
did automobile trip throughout the
city. About 60 autos were thus em
ployed and the trip, at a rapid pace,
h occupied about IVt hours, visiting
the principal points of Interest. Very
impressive to tne visitor Is the broad
extent of the area of splendidly pavej
streets, and which the chauffeur.
with the characteristic "Seattle spir
it," told us now covers a distance of
600 miles, (we have since learned
that this estimate is subject to a lib'
era! discount.) Paving is in progress
in many sections and our informant
declared that this work Is to bo
pushed right along until 1000 miles
of streets are covered with' modern
hard-surface pavement. For the
work already done, bonds to the
amount of $12,000,000 will fall due
within the next five years. The many
and comprehensive views of the city
and its wonderful environs, afforded
by this auto trip, were declared by
Hon. B. B. Herbert, of Chicago, to
be worth a Journey across the contin
ent to see. Father Herbert Is the
rounder of the National Editorial As
sociation and has attended every one
of Ms 25 annual sessions. His opin
ion,, therefore, Ib of more than or
dinary value.
The second day's Besslons were
held on the grounds of the A-Y-P
exposition. The editors and their
wives were entertained at dinner in
the New York building. " Several
toasts were briefly responded to, and
imong the speakers was Joe Mitchell
'hcpple, editor of the National Maga
zine, of Boston, as well as some of
the leading newspaper men through
out tbo country, exposition ofTlclals.
and members of the Seattle Press
Club. The evening was spent In visit
ing the attractions on the "Pay
Streak," the amusement feature of
the exposition:
The third and fourth days were
devoted largely to business sessions,
with wi incidental trip to the U. S.
navy jmrd at Bremerton, a few miles
across the Sound, and brief glimpses
of the exposition. Several very inter
esting papers and discussions were
heard during these two days upon
matters pertaining to newspaper
work. Among the speakers were
President Thorp, 'ot the "School of
Journalism," in the University of
Washington, and President Hill, of
the University of Missouri. The mnk
Ing of newspapers Is now a recogniz
ed profession and many young men
md women In these colleges are de
voting themselves to Its study and
practice with a view to making news
paper work their life profession.
Among the resolutions adopted
was one denouncing the U. S. postal
department for soliciting the printing
of envelopes at prices with which no
printer can compete. This work
brings no net revenue to the posof
flce department and Is of no real
benefit to anyone except the big trusts
and establishments which use thous
ands of envelopes every week and
such lnsttutions can well afford to
pay a reasonable price to the printers
Instead of procuring them at cost, or
less", from the government.
The election of officers resulted In
the choice of Hon. A. Nevln Pomeroy,
of Chambershurg, Pa., as president,
to succeed Will H. Mayes, of Brown-wood,-Texas.
J. P. Baumgartner. of
Santa Ana, Calif., was chosen Ilrst
vice presIUjt, and A. D. Moffett, of
Elwood. ' '!iriana, second vice presi
dent, ifij place for the next annual
meeting was left for selection by the
executive committee. It Is probable
that Chattanooga, Tenn., will be
h chosen.
On Frldayvthe members were the
guests of the Chamber of Commerce
of Tacoma, and visited that growing
city. "You'll Like Tacoma" was the
advance assurance given to all, and
this was abundantly made good In
the numerous courtesies shown to
every vsltor. Saturday was devoted
u to a trip to Victoria, B. C, an 80-
mile steamer ride across the Sound
to "the most English city on the Am
erican continent." This beautiful
town of about 30,000 inhabitants,
with massive government buildings,
extensive parks, fine homes almost
secluded by surrounding foliage and
se! far back from massive hedgerows
must he seen tn he nnnreclated.
Although held on the western bor

the N. E. A. was more largely attend

luminations at night win the praise of
every visitor.
Among the exhibit structures the
most striking In appearance Is the
loiesiry ou luln:i. made of huge logs,
as was done In the forestry building
at Portland, but this structure is of
more elaborate design and is to re
main a permanent feature as one of
ihe buildings of the University of
Washington, upon whose grounds this
exposition Is located. The U. S. aov-
ernment building, the Alaska, Oregon,
wnsnington, California and Hawaiian
buildings are always centers of In
terest and they contain exhibits that
would require weeks of time to ex
lmine in detail. In this thev share
with the manufactures, agriculture

This action is the outcome of De

Davis' Theory,
That former Lieutenant Edwnrd P.
Roelker was not shot In tho early
morning snuggle preceding tho dealil
of Lieutenant Sutton and that Lieu
tenant Sutton had no means of know
ing Lieutenant Roelker wns anywhere
In the vicinity when he fired the fatal

points which Mrs. Stilton's attorneys

condition lo appreciate what was go

Lieutenant Koclkor's prostrate form
