Scott, Wyoming Post-Herald, Vice President of the National EditorialAssociation for Illinois, spoke on "Our Big Brother— the National Editorial Association."Maiden Jones of the University of Illinois school of journalism, spoke a word of appreciationfor what the Illinois Press Association has done for the school.In reference to the Oddie envelope bill, J. M. Page, Jerseyville Democrat, broughtup an interesting point. "Twenty-five years ago we passed a bill and Congress prohibitedgovernment printing, but got around it by having enough matter printed to lasttwo years—they printed millions of copies and finally the bill was repealed. 'Eternalvigilance is the price of liberty,' and so if this bill passes, we've got to watch it."The report of the resolutions committee to endorse this bill was approved. Thecommittee urged every publisher to communicate with his senator in Washington andwith the Congressman in each of the several districts of the state asking for the passageof the bill.Selwyn Otis spoke on "The World's Fair in 193 3 in Chicago."The Sixty-Third Annual Meeting of the Illinois Press Association was held at Champaign-Urbanawith the University of Illinois as host, on October 11, 12 and 13, 192 8.More than 200 newspaper men were present.

Clendenin, Springfield, Illinois StateRegister, were chosen as the first four editors for the Hall of Fame. Two others wererecommended for consideration the next year: D. W. Barkley, Fairfield, and W. O. Davis,Bloomington. The committee voted to require that all names proposed for action befiled with the secretary at least thirty days before the annual convention.Serious consideration was given to the question of standards to be followed in selectingmen for the Hall. Professor Murphy believed that first, the man chosen must havedone something for journalism as a profession and second, he must have had prominencein his own time, must have been an outstanding journalist of his generation. Realizingthat a precedent was being established, it was decided not to cheapen the Hall by presentingnames that were not outstanding. It was decided that the pioneer editors should betaken first, and the committee hoped that a number not exceeding three will be choseneach year from the later generation.In accordance with the seventh rule for the selection of the Hall of Fame committee,L. M. Wood was to serve one year; A. L. Bowen, two; J. E. Dertinger, three; and
