The third factor is our, relation to the public at large. Many; of us have been visionary there. The first duty toward the public is to attend to our own business, and when we have succeeded there; to take : up some of the public ' abuses. But I do not believe a newspaper is a public prosecutor to take up every public wrong, to their own detriment., "I believe It is the duty of a news paper to have a program In relation to public affairs, and live up to it.' "In discussing individuals,' the news paper has no right to condemn, assum ing that they, are wrong.

We wanted to come to Salem, believ ing it would be pleasant to- do so, and coming -where wo are wanted, certain ly enhances our pleasure. 3 : Tribut to Salem. "And now that - we are here. It Is good to be here,; and relieve the ten sion of our strenuous life by the fra ternal friendship and felicities of this occasion. The members of the Salem Press ' Club are united with our brothers of the association . in this welcome, which they so hospitably ac cord to us, for they, too, have? caught the spirit of the age that of fraternal fellowship. 'So : that the occasion should illuminate our life-work as the red letters the printed page. ' "From your invitation and program, we see that you propose we shall know beautiful Salem, the Capital City of the state, and that there is within her gates a great and hospitable people, the best in the ' state (for our votes bring many of them here). - You have some of the best of lands and some of the largest manufactories, and who is there here who; cannot testify or Mar ion county's fine grains, vegetables and fruit? Located in the heart of the Willamette valley and on the beautiful Willamette river. Here also are our state institutions and t other branches of learning she Is the city of schools and churches, the county seat of Mar ion county, with a. population, includ' Ing her suburbs, of some 13,000 souls Nor is she behind in the way of news papers, for here are published two up to date dailies, presided over by two. wide-awake j editors, -. the Morning Statesman and the Evening Capital journal,- tne former issuing about - a month ago a 30.000 edition of a. 46-page paper filled with illustrations. In ad dition to this the city has five week lies and two monthlies. Co-operation and Laws. "This is the 18tn annual meeting of the Oregon Press Association. Have we grown stronger In fraternal fellow ship during these years? Are we bet ter able than heretofore, to help eacft other in the honorable pursuit of our profession, one that has so much to do for the betterment of society and the common weal? ; Let our retrospec tion beget an ardent desire for more hearty co-operation in our chosen craft, an, unselfish endeavor to elevate the ethics that obtain in Journalism; and when we return to our several fields of toil, may it be with a stronger purpose, and a higher aspiration to serve our day and generation, better than ever. "Our former president ,F. S. Hard ing, in his annual address last year, suggested that our association make a special effort at the next Legislature to have some laws , passed favorable to newspaper interest. Those who were present at Newport will remem ber that Mr. Gault read an exception ally good paper along these lines. We also had a -most excellent good paper on libel by our first president, now Judge M. L. Pipes. So in accordance with these suggestions, your president appointed on; this legislative commit tee, two members of the Legislature, and three other good men, and tomor row we shall hope to hear their re port. ".We should surely have laws pro tecting our Interest" as much as any other Industry, and I would recom mend that we keep on hammering at It until we are protected. . Fof the Lewis and Clark Fair. "I am glad to report that through our, Secretary; Tozier and ex-President Noltner, the annual 'reports of our four previous meetings have bgen printed, but not from the treasury of the Press Association, so to them we owe our sincere thanks. "It has been suggested byj the Port land Press Club that a resolution be passed by this body instructing the executive committee of the National Editorial Association to vote for hold ing the next National Editorial Asso ciation meeting to be held at St, Louis to fix the dates after our June election. In this connection it maybe well to suggest that a strong newspaper dele gation be appointed, as it is a well known fact that f we desire the next annual meeting of the National Edi torial Association of 1305, to meet with us at Portland and Join In celebrating the Lewis and Clark Centennial. The success of the . Lewis and Clark Cen tennial depends" to a ' very large ex tent upon the advertising, it shall re-: ceive through the newspaper press of the country, and through this advertising-we have reason to) believe that we shall entertain many thousand men I and women who have never before set j foot lh Oregon or the great Pacific anA ho know nothimr of ref0urce,. -neater number who come will innt nnrnt riwfl for the fair, but for ana tne ratr win oe we " the low rate wUl be the opportunity. So my thought is let us as a newspa- per fraternity, not omy gi?e space to the fair. Dut let us not iorg to tell them what we have In Oregon what are our , natural attractions what are our resources what attrac tions we offer for Investments in man ufacturing, mining, dairying, cattle, sheep and fruit raising. ete etc, "Through the advertising that shall Tthi ,ountrr during the next .r - .nalf wm CTeatly depend year and a half the amount of people we shall enter tain at that time. 1 . Mors Settlers; More Capital. "What we as Oregooians are partic ularly Interested, in, is settlers more people and more capital 1 and larger industries. We have a, state to be proud of, and we need not be afraid to continually keep singing its praises. Now. Just a word to the press; we as members of the Oregon P"ess Assbcia tion (being the parent organization) desire the hearty co-operation and good fellowship of all press clubs in the state. You who are members of local press clubs, probablyj need such organization, or a State Press Associa tion, so tonight "we woufil like to urge all of you to also , take a membership with us. 'Every newspaper man in the state should be a member of our body, for by union and co-operation we may accomplish great things, and our so cial and financial conditions be greatly enhanced. "It Just occurs to me, that possibly you who are hot members, see some faults in our organization, or m the manner of our running it. If this is so. it only requires a two-third vote of any at our, annual meetings or a. spe cial meeting could be called to amend our- constitution or by-laws. - and' I feel certain you would find the body ready to make any changes , that would benefit or strengthen the organiza tion."
