Its Vigor Renewed. Minnesota's State Editorial asso ciation is again coming into its own after a period of little activity. This was demonstrated at the annual con vention of the association which has just been closed at St. Paul. The meeting was largely attended and a great success. The association will celebrate its golden anniversary in Minneapolis next year. On the eve of the semi-centennial, the organization that bands the "country editors" of the North Star state together is renewing its youth and attaining a strength not dream ed of a few years ago. Up to about eight years ago, the association existed mainly for social purposes, and for the annual sum mer excursions. Anti-pass laws kill ed the excursions, but about that time the association began to wake up to the possibilities of business methods for the country printing of fice. The annual meeting came to take on a more and more practical character, and due to this the asso ciation gained strength. The pioneer of the "cost system" movement in Minnesota, J. C. Mor rison, of the Morris Tribune, was honored by election as president of the association and will preside at the Minneapolis meeting next year. Other officers chosen are: First vice president, H. M. Wheelock, Fergus Falls second vice president, Farley A. Dare, Walker third vice president, A. O. Moreaux, Luverne secretary, Herman Roe, Northfield treasurer, H. C. Hotaling, Mapleton. The ex ecutive committee is made up of Frank J. Meyst, Minneapolis N. H. Ingersoll, Brainerd, and E. K. Whit ing, Owatonna. Due to the hustling of the retiring president, H. C. Hotaling, and the secretary, Herman Roe, and to the recognized value of the association's work, its membership has jumped in one year from 150 to about 250. There were 62 new members voted in at this year's convention, and many old members were reinstated during the year. Resolutions reported by H. M. Wheelock, chairman of the commit tee, and adopted, condemn the policy of the federal government in print ing return envelopes below cost, to the detriment of the printing indus try, indorse equal suffrage, favor bills for the official publication of per sonal tax lists and proceedings of school boards in independent dis tricts, commend the school of journal ism at the University of Minnesota, and extend the usual thanks to the officers and to the city of St. Paul and those who helped entertain the visiting editors. In nominating "J. Cost-System Morrison" for president, Alvah East man of St. Cloud eulogized him as the pioneer in work of great practical benefit to every editor. J. P. Landy suggested that someone ought to be designated as "first lady" of the as sociation. President Morrison, like Governor W. S. Hammond, is a bach elor.

A distinguished and level-headed man who knew what he was saying, once said:" "Advertising is to busi ness what steam is to machinery." That he was right, every shrewd and successful business man knows, for it i^ through advertising he wins suedes. But in almost every town there are merchants who seem to pre fer no steam at all. And the funny thing about it is that they" don't seem tov see why their competitors who advertise freely and attractively get the customers and make money while they drag on far in the rear. Two Harbors Journal. There is new push and incentive in the cry of "back to the land'-' that is now so frequently shouted in the mar ket places. The value of farm pro perty in the United States for 1914 was $9,872,935,000. This was $83,- 000,000 in excess of all past records, notwithstanding the falling off of $300,000,000 in the value of the cot ton crop because of the European war. After all, the farmer is the backbone and stay of the country. He is our most independent citizen. Now that he is getting fair prices for his corn and cattle, even though there is a temporary drop in cotton, his prosperity runs neck and neck with his deserving. There is a fresh declaration of independence set forth in the "back to the land" movement. Brainerd Tribune. REGION SPEAKS OF COUNTY DIVISION The Baudette Region says: "C. R. Middleton returned last week from St. Paul, where among other matters he took up the question of the divi sion of Beltrami county. An effort will be made to get a bill through, enabling Beltrami to divide, but there will be considerable difflcuty to contend with, owing to the fact that the St. Louis county seat fight is on, and those interested in it are endeavoring to get a bill through whereby counties of less than fifty thousand population will be unable to secure division. In spite of this drawback, however, an effort will be made to get the Beltrami bill through. "Apart from this feature, though, it appears highly improbable that a vote of the people will be taken in this county for at least two years. The residents of the Benville dis trict, which is in the Thief River Falls country, are opposed to it, for the reason that they wish some time to have a separate county over there. Without them it would not be pos sible to come under the two million valuation, even. Under all circum stances it is apparent that county division is at least two years away." Language Mixed. "That" srtld the ph.vsiohin. as he ex Jimined the lump on the man's neck, "is the remains of an old boil that started t come and then became en f.vsted there."

From its very Institution the Ameri can Civic association has devoted itself to the protection of the public against three great nuisancessmoke, poles and wires and billboards. At the re cent annual convention of, the associa tion in Washington one of the impor tant subjects discussed was billboards, with a principal address entitled "The Passing of the Signboard," by Jesse Lee Bennett of Baltimore, in which he recounted the steps that had been taken for the legal control of the bill board in all parts of the-United States. Concerning the sentiment against the billboard Mr. Bennett said: "The feel ing against the signboard has become nation wide, and in the past few years the agitation of civic organizations has been so successful as to awaken re sentment against it so widespread that from coast to coast and in almost every state and city there are now, or have been, vigorous movements seeking the abolition or regulation of these unnec essary and disfiguring objects. "There has been much agitation, and from it there has been distilled one thingthe recognition of the fact that what is called, the signboard problem is a question more complex than the mere removal of the signs. The sign board has been found to be inextrica bly intertwined with two questions of even-greater importancethe awaken ing of civic sentiment and the recogni tion by legislators and judges of the validity of arguments based upon aes thetic considerations." Commenting on what ought to be the attitude of the law and the courts to ward the billboard, he added: "It would take our psychologists but a few minutes to show that it is not a question of ear or nose or eye, but a question of the brain and of the very consciousness that is life itself. No law should permit any man to intrude or force himself or his business into another man's consciousness to the ex tent that outdoor advertising has come to permit, an intrusion immeasurably increased by the fact that it is impos sible to avoid seeing signboards." WHAT "MOVIES" HAVE DONE. Stimulated Growth of Suburbs and Dead Urban Sections. Five years of the drama in films have given a most impressive example of the valuable support the development of the "movies" has given to real es tate. Every afternoon and evening ap proximately 100,000,000 feet of moving picture films are unreeled for the en tertainment of many millions of people who fill seats in more than 25,000 the aters in the United States alone. In all probability the capital invested in such enterprises would aggregate close to $500,000,000. For New York and other large cities, where the moving picture industry Is deeply rooted, these enterprises have done the service of converting many vacant lots, former dumping grounds, into income payers and in not a few instances helped to restore the life of many moribund theaters, now com bined vaudeville and picture play houses, that make easy for their own ers the payment of taxes and interest on the realty they occupy. One of the features of the moving picture theaters, owing to their inex pensive admissions, is that they will thrive in districts which could not sup port a legitimate theater. Therefore because of this many properties in the suburbs and in the outskirts of cities have been utilized which but for the picture theaters would doubtless be untenanted.
