Entered at the pnstotflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second-ews mail THE EDITORS The Demtcratic Editorial Association, which held its mid-winter session at the Denison hotel, Indianapolis, on x Thursday and Friday of last week was perhaps the largest in point of attendance, in the history of this organization. Any way it fairly bubbled over with enthusiasm, and there was not a lady or gentleman who attended but I was glad he was there, and thoroughly l enjoyed every minute, and appreciated every word from the list of orators on the banquet program and the newspaper men who addies' - J the business I session. Paul Pointer of the Sullivan Demo- I crat presided at the banquet and proved his superiority as toastmaster. His address was eloquent, inspiring and captivating and the editors were proud indeed of their president. Addresses were made during *he evening by Governor Marshal 1 . Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles Greathouse, State Chairman Korbly, Thomas Taggart, Samuel Ralston, ex-Speak-

er Veneman, and others and the air fairly hummed with the sincerity and confidence of the speakers in the success of democracy this year. It was a glad occasion and a good place to sit and listen and absorb. On Friday occurred the business meeting, equally interesting for the editors, while their wives were given the pleasure of an afternoon tea at the home of Mrs. John W. Kern. The democratic editors of Indiana are of the salt of the earth and two days wit’’, them is the best tonic for ar over worked, tired out, rusty pen pusher that we know of. The summer meeting will be held at Fort Wayne.
