You as mombers of the Oklahoma

press of tho rowL.st territory; the
honor and fair name of the territory

expect 3011 to cherish and protect It.
This is a country of so gicat resources
and such wonderful progress that a
mere statement of the facts regarding
it stnsigors the creduli'y of the world
yet it is to the press we owe it all.
To congress we owe nothing
In chronicling the history of this
turrilorv one might well start with:
In the beginning congress created Ok-
lahoma and then they rested 11 year
and two months letting the peoplo
look out for themselves and If It had
not been for the unceasing importuni-
ties of the press congress would proba-
bly have left them torustlo nlone to
tho present time.

Hoy V. Hoffman president of the as.
soeiution responded stating tout in
behalf of the association he desired to
assure Mayor Stone und the hospitable
pooplo of his tity of the warmest ap-
nruaiatiou of the wolcorno given and
the nctivlty of tho pooplo In arranging
for tho plousure and comfort of tho
members of tho press.
No one npproeiatos a welcome more
than a newspapca man. Child of an
obtenro destiny progeny of an exacting
profession he turns with a simple and
childlike faith to bask in the sunlight
of proffered hospitality. It in such re-
ceptions as this that convince hira that
after all the work of tho press is
known and rueoernized at its full face

When such interest is manifested by
the executive legislative and judicial
functions of a territory with measure-
world today closing with still further
acknowledgment of the courtesy and
hospitality of the people of Perry.
On behalf o' the upper branch of the
legislature I accept the hospitality so
generously extended. We are tjlad to
assemble in a city but two years ago a
bleak prairie now the eUdcncc of a
progress unparalleled in the history of
tho world. We accept the welcome in
the true spirit of Oklahoma coming
with no sectional frejudice all tho
territory ours nil ono united people
who have startled the world by our
progress and achievements and stand
today without a peer.
This meeting can but lesult in good
and I hope that it will result in tho
further advancement of the tiuly great
and magnanimous spirit of the preits.
The time is coming in the not fur
distant future when in recognition of
their grand worlc upon the pages of
history in letters of gold will be writ-
ten tho tribute of a grateful po pie to
the boys who ran the newspapers.
Gov. W. C. Uenfrow- wus intiodu ed
and delivered an admirable address
which wo give in full:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tho
Press Assodatiou:
I am Haltered by the consideration
your committee lius given me in invit-
ing me to make some remarks at tint-
tlie sixth meeting of the Press Asso-
ciation of Oklahoma
Nothing is more indicative of the
commercial intellectual aud moral
htaucla.d of a community than its
newspapers. lo more lormuiauio 01
repicsciitutive body of men could be
assembled In any btato or torriloiy
than that which collects and pun
lishes tliunetvs dictates the policy and
couliols tho energy of us newspapers.
Auu it gives mo the highest pleitsiir.

No state sun be groat without live
uowspupcrs. Nature may have lavish
ed her smileo and poured out her blus-
Ings with a spendthrift prodigality; If
tho local press Is not wide awako to
tho advantages that community In
the march of progress will bring up
tho rear of tho procession Without a
press manifesting an acute apprecia-
tion with what I may bo allowed to
call an emotional intensity abundant
liarvcsts will remain a secret locked in
tho bosom of the soil rich veins of oro

to tho benefit of mankind. With
health' live nowspapors tho most un-
prpmising country can take high rank;
without them tho likeliest will bo but
11 dull sluirirard in tho race.
And I feel It proper to say in this
connection und upon this opportunity
that no newspaper or correspondent
can afford to bo sensational. Any ten-
dency in that direction working detri-
ment to our people or any part of thorn
throwing discredit upon our territory
or auy part of it or placing us in un
Impossible distressing or rldl-iilous
attitude abroad should be promptly
frowned upon; and if you will allow
me the suggestion it appears to mo
that this should be one of the first du-
ties of an association.
In my opinion an eultor snouiu state
