The annual meeting of the Wiscon-
sin Press association closed last even
ing with a smoker at the assembly
chamber one of the most successful
and one of the most profitable gather
ings in it's history.
After the election of officers at the
morning session a most interesting
paper by F. F. Morgan of the Dunn
County News on Circulation Feature
of Country Publications, was read, in
which it was declared that the sue
cessful newspaper must be strong
clean, up-to-date, depending wholly
upon the quality of the service rem
dered and discarding premiums of all
kinds, magazines, clubbing rates
voting contests, lottery schemes and
other bonus or bogus schemes.
Editor Charles Lowater of the
Spring Valley Sun spoke for coopera-
ton among publishers, a closer rela-
tionship, a more effective association,
to the end that all questions relating
to the craft might be more uniformly
dealt with. The question of a mutual
insurance company was discussed but
no definite action was taken

The question of the proposed postal
regulation, which at the Wednesday
session had been referred to a com
mittee, was referred back in the form
of resolution urging upon congress
that a second commission be appoint

just to the publishers of legitimate
newspapers; that the postal laws and
regulations be so changed that so
called newspapers, magazines and sup

purposes only, at only a nominal
price, be xcluded from the mails. The
resolution was adopted

pointed by the president as follows:

the craft
