OREGON EDITORS HOLD VERY IN
TERESTING MEETING.
fly far tin- largest number of On-gon
editors tliat ever iisHcmbled at one timi1
H't at Cortland, anuarv 17 and 18, for
the purpose of more closely uniting the
bonds of professional brotherhood and
for financial betterment.
It was a very interesting iiiiw'ting and
productive of much good. Noarlv
.journalists participated in the deliber
ations of the association.
The name of the organization win
changed from Oregon Press association
to State Kditorial association of Ore
gon by the adoption of a new net of
by lawn.
The following are the new officers:
President, J. K Dellinger, Daily As
torian, Astoria.
Vice-jiresident., fieorge I'titnarn, Trib
une, Medford.
( 'orrespondiiig secretary, A. !. Moe,
(lacier. Mood Kivi-r.
Keeording secretary George A. Sei
bird, Hepubiii-an, 1'nion.
Treasurer, Miss (iraneos Gotshall.
Trustees George li. Small, Democrat,
iJal.er City, three years; (. K. Fisher.
Guard, Kiigene, two years; ('. L. Ire
land, Observer, Mnro, one ynir.
following closely, as it did, the re
cent conviction of (ienrge I'litnam, edi
tor of the Medford Tribune, on a charge
of libeling the grand jury and deputy
district attorney, (lie association natu
rally took up and discussed the libel
laws of the state. As a vindication
and a tangible expression of the senti
ment of the association, Putnam, who
received an ovation on his appearance
at the meeting, which he addressed, up
on an invitation to do so, was elected
vice-president of the association by ac
clamation and the following resolution
passed :
"Whereas, The libel law of (his state
is unfair and unjust to the press; be it
"Resolved, That tli- legislative com
mittee formulate a new bill to be mib
mittcd to the next leg'-da t ure for en
aeluieiit and that the press of the state
hack up said committee in securing said
enactment. ' '
.lmle llaiina, who held that the find
ings of a grand jury are infallible and
refused to allow I'utnam the privilege
ot nit I'Milucing evidence to prove t he
truth ol Ins alleged hind on the grand
jury and Deputy District Attorney
Clarence lieamcs, was made the butt of
much crit icism.
A number of committees were ap
pointed, which will report at the next
meeting of the association, and are ex
pected !o fniiMiilate a procedure that
will re vol tit ionize exist tug condit ion1,
which are so unfavorable to the news
papers of Oregon.
