RECEPTION AND MIDWAY TRIP.

Indiana Men Transact a Little
Business and Enjoy Themselves-
Listen to Addresses.

The hoosier editors put in another day
at the fair to-day, devoting a little of their
time to the serious consideration of the
subjects of mutual interest. During the
morning the regular annual meeting of
the editorial association was held in
the Indiana State Building, at the
conclusion of which the newspaper
men were presented to Mrs. Potter
Palmer, the meeting have been arranged
by Executive Commissioner Havens at the
request of his guests. This, the formal
programme for the day, over, the editors
took themselves off to the Midway Plaisance,
where they visited Hagenbeck's animal
show, took a ride on the Ferris Wheel
and finally left the oriental thoroughfare
and attended in a body the Wild West
Show on the special invitation of Colonel
Cody.

Last night's reception at the Indiana
Building kept visiting hoosier folk out late.
They did not get to the grounds early in
consequence, and the meeting which was
called for 9 o'clock did not come to order
until 10:30. When the members of the
association finally arrived with their families
in Indiana's airy headquarters they
found President R. A. Brown and
Secretary J. A. Kemp anxiously waiting
to begin business, for they knew what
arrangements had been made for the day's
entertainment and rightly guessed their
companions would have to move lively if
they got through it all.

Changes in the Programme.

Some changes had been made in the original
programme of speaking, and the order
of the addresses as announced by the secretary
was as follows:

Opening address- R. A. Brown, Republican,
Franklin, president Indiana R. E. A.

"Duty of Party to Press" - S. Vater, Call,
Lafayette, Ind.

"Loyalty to the Nation's Defenders" - C. W.
Stivers, Herald, Liberty, Ind.

"Indiana" - Charles B. Landis, Journal, Delphi,
Ind.

Address - General Smith D. Atkins, Journals,
Freeport, Ill., president Illinois R. E. A.

Address - General Jasper Packard, Tribune,
New Albany.

Address, "The Press and the World's Fair" -
Major M. P. Handy, chief of department of
publicity and promotion, World's Columbian
Exposition.

According to the schedule the addresses
were to occupy from fifteen ot thirty minutes
each, but, as a matter of fact, the time
occupied by each speaker was less than he
had been allowed. This was due to the
fact that it was very warm, although
the reading-room where the session
was held is one of the coolest spots in
Jackson Park and to the additional fact
that the editors were in a hurry. President
Brown in his opening address impressed
these truths upon his hearers. In the
course of his remarks he also said all that
Indiana had at the fair was due to the press
and all that she did not have was also due
