ceeded to make most eloquent address of
welcome. He congratulated those present
upon the condition Of the association, which
was as representative class of newspaper
men as any state i'll the country conld, pro-
duce. The time was ripe when the editors OF
Minnesota should unite for mutual prOtee
ton. At last years meeting committee
was appointed to look into that question, and
no doubt they would present au interesting
report during the present meeting. The as
soCiation was i'll q t1ourishing condition. and
he urged upon the members renewed ac-
tivity, especially upon the maintenance of
the statute requiring the publication of all
laws passed By the legislature. He was also
in favor of q law which you'd bring the
sleeping car companies under state Tegula-
ton, 50 that they would be compelled to pay
a revenue into the state treasury the same as
other common carriers. The question of
taxing express companies was also one of
great Importance TO publishers and the peo-
pie, and would be discussed during the con-
veution.
legislative committee should be chosen
from the most capable members OF the as
sociation, to present 10 the legislature the
need of certain laws being passed. and they
should remain in ST. Paul TO watch the legis-
lature while in session.
The president in concluding his address
referred in most eloquent terms TO the ap-
pointment of the veteran Journalist Mayor
Newson TO the consulate at Malaga, and the
marriage or taking OFF of the late presi
dent of the association Joel p. Heatwole.
