I sincerely trust that you will enjoy a pleasant and profitable session, and 1 congratulate you upon the success of your first day's meeting, reports of which have reached me. Newspapers play such an. important part in the politi cal, social and commercial life of a state or nation that wej are all bound to realize their potency for constructive help fulness. And by the same token, you as newspaper men and women are bound to realize your responsibilities as makers of public opinion. That you may each live up to this re sponsibility 1 know to be your aim and desire, and 1 am well pleased to state that I hold the press of Oregon in high re gard. The exceptions that prove the rule of uniform fairness and ethical treatment of the news of the day and its political developments nre neither the most powerful nor the most successful. To the Oregon Press Association: The Oregon Journal greets its comrades of Oregon journalism in state editorial association assembled. Newspaperdom is the voice of the present, the herald of the future, the annalist of the past. With its long fingers, journalism reaches into the remotest corners of the earth and tells what the workaday world is doing, tells it on the day that it happens. As co-workers in the exalted calling in which we are all engaged, the Journal family greets and salutes you, and does it by airplane, 90 minutes from Portland to Roseburg. Whereat, we all say, with Samuel F. B. Morse, in his first message over his newly invented electric telegraph, "What hath God Wrought)" May your annual association meeting be filled --with profit and pleasure. OREGON JOURNAL, B. F.
