Lawshe, of Washington, third assist
ant postmaster general, and by Mr.
Il. II. Edmonds, Of Baltimore, edi-
tor of The Manufacturers Record.
Mr. LawShc devot ,d his time lars. "
TO an explanation Of the reason ard
the necessity on the part of the de-
partment for the recent ruling re-
qulring that newspapers must be paid
for before they can be entered in the
mails as second class matter. He
said that the necessity for the rul-
ing was brought about by the abuse
Of the second class rate by publca-
tions which had very small lcgiti-
mate circulation, but which printed
,uhndrcds Of thousand Of copies for
advertising purposes. He urged that
he ruling was Of advantage, and a
real protection to legitimate pubIica-
tions, and in this view the members
of the press association agreed with
him.
Mr.. EdmondS' address was on a
theme which is dear to Mr.. Edmonds
the industrial development of the
south. Few men have done more than
Mr.. Edmonds in bringing. about the
wonderful advancement which the
Southern States have made in the
past few years. Mr.. Edmonds said
the south had been furnishing the men
of brains and energy who were maxi
ing possible the rapid development
and the increasing wealth of the 9TH
cr sections, and there were no less
than two million southe,ners who had
left the south and were now in other
sections. It was time for the south
to call them back, he said
