STRENUOUS COMPETITION.


[Sioux City Journal.l
Every newspaper has plenty of COM
petition. II there is anything the coun-
try is long on nowadays 1t is competi-
ton. Every man in business, whatever
1t may be, has enough excuse for
thought in connection with what his
competitors are doing to get his profits
away from him, whether in the out-.
come they are able to get the profits
for Themselves or not. Business life
was never no strenuous. and how 1t is
to stand much more tension good
many tired men confess they are un-
able to see. Everybody has set for him
& rapid pace, and the fashions change
so frequently that 1t is hard to keep In
the best society. Newspaper presses
along with other things 90 out OF style.
and there are ugly fellows everywhere
In the newspaper business who will not
adhere to the respectable plan OF co.'s
lecting news by mail and by the aid Of
. pair Of shears. But the times are not
peculiar to the newspaper business tho
1t is natural that any ones apprecia-

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION
Thomas Patterson Makes Speech on
 Paper Trust

New Orleans, March 2.-The National Edi- torial association held two sessions today At the first session Thomas M. Patterson, editor of the Rocky Mountain News of Denver delivered an address on ''the paper trust" He outlined the methods of the trust, said that the price at Denver of white paper had increased from $2 and $25O a hundred pounds to $3.5O and threatened to go to $4. The publishers were not the only sufferers, but everybody who read papers and magazines helped to place mil- lions in the pockets of the trust. It was in- evitable that publishers must increase prices or decrease the amount of labor or go out of business.
 He argued that the republican newspa- pers and congressman were the ones to ap- peal to and it was the duty of the republi- can congress to repeal all duties that give special privileges to any class of manufac- turers. If there was any class of goods that ought to be free of duty 1t should be white paper and wood pulp and sulphides. He urged the association to adopt such resolutions as should call the attention of congress to the matter and induce them to admit wood pulp and paper free and open up the vast spruce forests of Canada to American markets.
 At the afternoon session the resolutions adopted at New York by the American Publishers association were presented for adoption and committee will be appointed to go to Washington and cooperate with their committee The association enjoyed trolley ride today. Tomorrow will end the convention and the delegates will go to Biloxi, Gulf Port, Pass Christian and Hat tiesburg where they will be entertained and leave for St. Louis, arriving Thursday night. About eighty will go to Califor- mia.

THE RHEINBABEN DEGREE
German Papers Are Full of Comments
 on the Disclosures

Berlin, March 2.-The papers tonight comment upon the disclosures regarding the Rheinbaben secret decree and upon the governments meat policy. The Vossische Zeitung says:
 "This policy of yelling facts the govern ment has been following since last sum- merlin any event ever since Baron Von RheinIbaben became minister of the inte- rior Henceforth he will shine the bright est star in the agraran heaven"
 The Voerwaerts says: "Without doubt Baron Won Rheinbaben signed that decree upon instructions received from the cen tral government-instruction that the United States must not know certain things, so as to be unable to use their ac- quired knowledge against us when we hypocritically pretend that their insuffi- cient inspection is our reason for excluding their meats"
 The Berliner Tagesblatt has a communi- cation from one of the liberal leaders on the subject of the meat in the course of which he says '1f this bill becomes law as 1t now stands, then our trade, industry and shipping will be threatened to an ex- tent which it is quite impossible to foresee It will be the business of the German com iHeicidi coiSreSS to lnltlate vigorous pro- test against the committees report, and 1t VIII pe the duty of the liberal press ener- getically to support the movement
 The semi-officfal Pohtischen Nachrichten says:
 Ut is quite probable that the government Will effect an understanding with the reichstag majority regarding the meat bill ''
 The semi-official Berliner Post discusses the question in the same spirit. On the other hand the agrarian press as would be expected, approves the Rheinloaben decree. The second reading of the meat bill has been fixed for March 8.
 The Deutsche Tages Zetung claims that the whole right, the whole center and the greater part of the nationalists will support the bilb thus constituting a clear majority. United States Ambassador White said to. day: q am keeping the German govern ment fully informed regarding the effect the meat law would have upon the trade relations between the two countries, and Germany Is fully aware that a tariff war would result disastrously to her T shall have another talk at the foreign office to- morrow the same subject.'
