NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSoCIA-
TION RESOLUTIONS.
Postal Committee Rings Clear on the
Subject of Increase of Charge on
Second Glass Matter.

AT meeting of the Executive COM
mittee of the National Editorial AS
sociation, held in st. Louis, Mo-, the
following resolutions were reported
by the Postal Laws Committee, and
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t is for the benefit of
the government that intelligence with
regard to all public affairs. and all
other matters affecting the welfare
Of the people, should be made to penc-
trate the whole mass of the people
and TO reach every individual, and
Whereas, This can best be accom-
plished through a free and indepen-
dent newspaper and press; and
Whereas, Newspapers and periodi-
Gals are of n character to be handled
rather as express than as first-class
mail matter, and can be so handled
with little added cost in connection
with other postal matter in general,
and no added cost at all on rural
routes; and
Whereas. The present POSTAL laws
and rates have proved entirely salts
factory TO the publishers on one hand
and the people served, and who. as
citizens. constitute the Government:
and
Whereas, There does not now exist
any real dciici; in the United States
Postal Service. il the departments
and Offices of Government are properly
charged for postal service rendered
but there is an actual profit used by
the Government in the payment for
the transportation and handling of III,
own mail matter. Therefore be it
Resolved. That we. members of the
Executive Committee Of the National
Editorial Association. in annual ses-
sion representing 10000 newspapers
and periodicals.. protest against any
change i'll the postal laws of the
United States that will cause an adj
vance in postal rates or charges on
second-class mail matter
Resolved, That we believe il has
been fully established that cent n
pound is full and adequate postal
charge for newspapers and periodi-
Gals.
Resolved. That we deem the pres
cnt law entirely clear and forceful,
and that the only trouble has been
that of hurdcning the law with rules
and regulations not required in the
laws enforcement nor justified by any
fair Interpretation thereof.
Resolved, further. That we protest
against the charge that newspapers
and periodicals cause any real loss,
or that they are subsidized by the
payment made by the Government to
meet deficit that is really the re-
suit of the cost of postal matter car
red for the Government.
1t was decided to hold the next
meeting of the Association at James
town, Va, during the Exposition, and
the president and secretary were in
structed TO arrange the meeting as
near the first of June as possible 1t
was further carried that the president
and corresponding secretary be in
structcd to visit Norfolk and arrange
for the entertainment of the Asso-
citation during its session.

A Noted Case

The Berners Bay case, which has been a bone of contention for some years in the U. s. District Court, was finally decided by Judge Wickersham last Saturday.
 The court holds that the bonds and the interest thereon constitute first lien upon the mortgsged property; that the receivers certificates are a subse- ouent lien thereon. There are three issues of receivers certificates and the court holds that they were issued by and with the consent of Che officers of the Berners Bay companies and are therefore valid claims against the mortgaged property, but subject to the bonds. The court holds that the three issues are to be paid in the order of their issuance. The first issue of s190,OOO and interest to be first paid and then each subsequent issue to be paid before the next. The receiver is ordered to be discharged and all prop erty of the corporation sold to pay the debts in order.

Between the Police Judge and the Marshal, the honor of keeping the city jail full is divided. Perhaps the extra nun Der of crooks has something to do with it. Ordinarily Alaskans are law, abiding citizens. Recently the govern ors of some of the states have made this a sort of dumping ground for their bad eggs. Criminals have been pardoned with the proviso that they immediately make tracks for Alaska. That's what we call raw procedure. Each State should be honorable enough to take care of it's morally sick, and not seek to dump them on people who are de- nied the right to handle the reins of their own government.

Among the varied emotions of jury men, summoned to appear at the U. s. court at Juneau, was curiosity to see Judge James Wickersham, sometimes called "James, the Terrible" The Judge has the general appearance of a prosusrous business man. He is rather small, compact, close knit, and has an air of determination about him that is accsntuated by firm, square jaw. He has dark halr and second crop mus tache of the same color. He wears a plain business suit of dark material, a standing collar, aud pale lavender necktis. The most striking thing about Judge Wiekersham is his eyes. They ars dark, keen and always nov ing. He sees everything that trans pires in the court room, although his mind never wauders from the business ir hand, and his decisions are prompt and clever. Jurymen who want to "get off" find bin hard proposition. They all look alike to him, and he plays no favorites.
