MtddIetoaon Irdnscrspt We should
like TO see the Peninsula Press Associa-
ton placed upon more solid founda-
ton than it is at present, and we hope
this coming annual meeting will bring
out at least one representative from
every newspaper on the peninsula. We
believe there are fifty papers published
between the bays, and if reasonable

association it could be made to take
rank with other press associations that

as military governor. His will could
have been law. The liberty of every
citizen was at his mercy. But what was
his course? He was soldier, but he re-
membered that he was also citizen, ,anil
the military power was never used by
him when the civil power was sufficient.

country. One seldom hears of this par

hold public meetings has proved tn
truth of these assertions.
