A BIG GATHERING OF MISSOURI EDITORS IN MACON. TWO ELOQUENT SPEECHES. Captain Guthrie Welcomes Pen Pushers to Macon and Hon. J. E.
Swanger Responds in a Witty and Eloquent Speech. Reception at Club Rooms. Yesterday noon the members of the Northeast Missouri Press Association began to arrive and ere night there was the largest attendance for the first day that has been known for a long time which leads those acquainted with the organization to estimate that there will be at least seventy -five here today. The afternoon was spent in visiting the various newspaper offices and looking over the town. The familiar faces were present.
President and Mrs. Howard Ellis, of New Florence, were among the earliest arrivals. The state association also was well represented. President Wes L. Robertson, of the Gallatin Democrat, R.
M. White, corresponding secretary of the state press association and also the national association, and editor of the best known country daily in Missouri, the Mexico Ledger, J. M. Sosey, recording secretary of the state association, editor of the Palmyra Spectator and other members of the executive committee will be here today and arrange a program for the state association. There are other familiar faces.
Uncle Ben Blanton, of the Paris Appeal, is here happy as ever. And the inimitable Capt. Jacks, of the Montgomery Standard, is on hand. W. D.
Thomas, editor of one of Missouri's leading democrat dailies, and famous for his investigations of the paper trust, is also here, ready to take an intelligent part in all the discussions. And the irrepressible George Trigg, of the Richmond Conservator, who takes in every press association from the district to the national, is here ready for anything that comes along. LAST NIGHT'S MEETING. There was a fair attendance at the open meeting in Blees Theatre last night and all seemed pleased with the entertainment arranged. Mayor W.
S. Herman presided at the opening of the meeting, turning the gavel over to President Ellis. After an invocation by Rev. S. D.
Kendall, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church in Macon, the audience was regaled with a piano solo by Prof. Johannes Goetze. The selection was "The Hunter's Dream," which was written by Mr. Goetze. Although the instrument was not fit for the work the professor managed to bring out the artistic points of this selection and the visiting editors were greatly pleased.
Capt. B. E. Guthrie, who used to edit the Macon Times, gave a felicitous address of welcome. The captain talked eloquently of Macon with an occasional sly dig.
He then praised newspaper men, told of their wonderful achievements and pointed them to the responsibilities and opportunities of the 20th century. He said that editors would have to feed the people and he suggested that it might be well to remember that the country editor of the future must grapple with international as well as national questions. The speech was happy in style and had all 1 the bon hommie for which the genial captain is famous. Miss Blanche Nolan sang a sweet solo, "A May Morning" by Denza. Miss Nolan has an excellent voice and sings with expression.
Miss Leah Wright and Mr. Barbour were accompanists. The address of the evening was made by Hon. John E. Swanger, editor of the Milan Republican.
Mr. Swanger is a living example of the fact that editors are often at home on the platform, for there are few men in Missouri who are his peer on academic, political, or patriotic occasions. He has a splendid delivery, fine rhetorical taste and a happy sense of humor. -After felicitiously replying to the welcome, Mr. Swanger humorously talked of the ulterior motive which actuated Macon in asking for the association.
He said that he thought the Macon Shear comhad a hand in it, as the editors pany use more scissors than anybody else in the state and would advertise the He paid a neat tribute to company. the enterprise and spirit of Macon and her most distinguished citizen. Mr. Swanger talked about the mission of the editor, who has a duty to society to perform. He emphasized this duty and then told of the obligation that society had to the editor.
He urged his hearers to stand by the editor when he is right and not get him into a fight and forsake him. He then exhorted fellow editors to be more independent in politics and more faithful in maintaining the purity of the news columns. Mr. Swanger held that while the newspaper man must have high ideals he must also be eminently practical. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to Missouri and said that we should keep step to the drum beat of progress.
This state is wondrously rich in resources and her possibilities are limited only by the energy of her people. Every editor and every man who is not an editor should put his shoulder to the wheel and strive to make this the first instead of the fiith state in the sisterhood. Mr. Swanger then talked optimistically on national affairs. He is not of the dyspeptic crowd who see ruin and desola tion before us.
The speech had the effect of a tonic and was pleasing to citizens and editors alike. At the conclusion of the address Railey Barbour played a violin solo, "Legende" by Wieniawski. Mr. Barbour is skilful with the bow and the notes of the violin were almost human. The hearty applause showed that the crowd appreciated the number.
After the opera house program the visiting editors and their wives repaired to the Macon club rooms where an informal reception was tendered by the club. Lemonade was served and cigars were passed. The evening was spent very pleasantly. TODAY'S PROGRAM. The program for today is as follows: FRIDAY, 9 A.

The caboose was searched and merchandise, identified as goods stolen from a freight car standing on a yard track near the Burlington freight house, was found in the car. Riding admitted his part in the conspiracy to C. E. Burnham, assistant prosecuting attorney, at police headquarters Friday morning and warrants were sworn out before a justice of the peace charging Magruder and Riding with larceny from a freight car. Two other railroad men were arrested the same morning, but were not held, the officials believing they were not implicated in the theft.
The goods taken Thursday were from a miscellaneous stock designed for delivery to local points and included ladies' hose, corsets, several pairs of patent leather shoes and two or three tubs of butter.

Dr. Scrutchtleld Great Physician and Rev. Robbins Supreme Representative. The grand lodge of the Knights of the Maccabees of the World was held in St. Joseph this week.
In the distribution of honors the Macon lodge was very fortunate. Dr. G. E. Scrutchfield, local record keeper, was elected great medical examiner.
All the applications for membership will pass through his hands in this state. The position is one of great responsiblity and the CITIZEN understands that it is also quite remunerative. Another honor Macon Maccabees appreciate is the election of Rev. Grant A. Robbins, of Hamilton, as supreme representative to the supreme tent which meets in Port Huron next July.
Rev. Robbins is not now a member of the Macon tent, having transferred his membership to Hamilton, but he was a member here for six years and the Macon boys feel that this tent ought to feel that it was honored in the selection, as Mr. Robbins established his reputation in the lodge while a member of this tent. The alternate to the supreme tent is J. C.
Poshle, of St. Joe. The next grand lodge will be held in St. Louis. Other officers elected were: Great commander R.
B. Anderson, of St. Louis, Lieut. great commander, O. C.
Schnitzer, Hannibal; great record keeper, W. A. Summer, St. Louis; great finance keeper, J. L.
Bellmer, Sedalia; great chaplain, J. L. Shackelford, St. Joseph; great sergeant, G. W.
