Washington, May 13.-John Norris, the
representative of the American News
paper Publishers association, having fin
ished his statement yesterday before the
house committee investigating the wood
pulp and print paper question, was cross
examined today by members of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Norris said that there had been a
material decrease in the demand for pa
per since December. he said that the
shrinkage in advertising began in New
York City about Nov. 10 last and that
it averaged about ten columns per day
for each paSer. One paper, a Sunday is
sue. shrunk 100 columns as compared
with the corresponding Sunday of the
previous year The average advertising
in the Sunday papers. he said, shrunk
about 30 columns.

Shrinkage Continues.

What was the character of the adj
vertising that shrunk." asked Chairman
Mann.
1T was largely of the luxuries, like
automobiles. There also was a shrinkage
in real estate advertising"
For what period of time did that
shrinkase continue?" asked MI Stafford.
1t is still on, replied Mr.. Norris.
Mr.. Norris stated that while there had
been an increase in the cost of getting
out newspapers and the papers had been
reducing their prices and passing along
all of the advantages to the public. they
had been subject to more or less com
petition from various sources, which kept
down their advertising rates and their
advertising earnings per annum.

Makeup of Divisions.

When the contemplated changes are eff
fected the different divisions will be made
up as follows:
First divisiOn-Connecticut. flagship;
Kansas. Minnesota and Vermont
Second divison-GeOrsia. flagship: Ne
braska, New Jersey and Rhode Island
Third diViSiOn-LOuiSiana, flagship; Nir4
ginia Ohio and Missouri.
Fourth Wisconsin. flagship: IL
linOis kearsarge and Kentucky
Rear Admiral Emory will be tactically
in command of the second squadron. al
though the squadron command has been
eliminated as far as administrative pur-
poses are concerned. Captains VAIN
wright and Schroeder. who will assume
command of divisions, will not receive
the rank OF rear admiral until July ~.
Transfer on Friday.
The actual transfer of flags will occur
at 1880 Friday morning and will be ac-
companied by the customary ceremonies.
On the same day. an hour or two before
Admiral Sperry hoists his flag, the Pa
clfic squadron OF armOred cruisers, COM
manded by Rear Admiral Dayton. will get
under way and go TO sea, en- route TO
Santa Barbara This will remove any
cause for complications that might arise
from the ranking of Admiral Sperry by
Admiral Dayton. The Pacific fleet Will
leave San Francisco for Puget Sound at
10 o'clock next Monday morning.
The reason for the changed formation
of the fleet is to assure homogeneity by
divisions. Under the new arrangement
the ships of the first division win be of
one class as will those of the second di-
vision. The only ships with inturnng
screws. the Virginia and louisiana will
thus be in the same division. The vessels
of the remaining two divisions will be as
near of the same class as it is possible
to place them by Investigations.

SHALL THE NEGRO VOTE?


Quoting again from Mr.. Baker for
the enlightenment of those who are
agitating the wholesale disfranchise-
ment of the Negro In West Virginia:
thousands Of Negroes in this
country are fully as we'll equipped,
white citizen. Moreover, they are as
much concerned in the real welfare
Of the country. The principle that
our forefathers fought for, Taxation
only with representation is as true
today as 1t ever was.
"On the other hand, the vast ma
iority of Negroes (and many foreign
ers and poor whitesD are still dense
ly ignorant, and have little or no ap-
probation of the duties of citizen
ship. 1t seems right that they should
be required to wait before being al
lowed to vote until they are prepar-
ed. A wise parent hedges his son
/, about with restrictions; he does not
authorize his signature at the bank
or allow him to run locomotive;
and until he is 2 years old he is dis
franchised and has no part In the
government. But the parent restricts
his son because it seems the wisest
course for him, for the family, and
for the state that he should grow to
manhood before he is burdened with
grave responsibilities. SO the state
limits suffrage; and rightly limits 1t,
| so long as 1t accompanies that limi-
| tation with a determined policy Of
| education. But the suffrage law is
| so executed in the south today as to
keep many capable Negroes from the
| exercise of their rights, to prevent
| recognition of honest merit, and 1t is
executed unjustly as between white
men and colored. 1t Is no condone-
ment Of the southern position to say
! that the north also DISTINGUISHES a
large part of the Negro vote by brib-
cry, which it does; it is only saying
that the north is also wrong.
"As for the agitation for the re-
! peal Of the fifteenth amendment to
the federal constitution, which gives
the right of suffrage to the colored
man, 1t must be met by every lover
OF justice and democracy with q face
OF adamant. If there were only one
| Negro in the country capable Of citi-
zenship, the way for him must, at
least, be kept open. No doubt full
suffrage was given to the mass OF
Negroes before they we're prepared
for it. while yet they were slaves In
everything except bodily shackles
and the result during the reconstruc-
ton period was disastrous. But the
principle Of a free ranchise-fortu-
nately, as | believe, for this country
mas been forever established. II
the white man is not willing to meet
the Negro in any contest whatsoever
without plugging the dice, then he
IS not the superior, but the inferior
of the Negro"

JIM CROW Laws.

No man of the white race has. per-

Ray Stannard Baker, whose series of
articles in the American Magazine
are characterized by freedom from
bias seldom found among writer's up
on, the Negro Problem -
Summing up the results of a year
or more of personal observations,
Mr., Baker says Of Jim Crow laws:
'*As for the predictions Of ANAL
Ramation," "a fnongrel people,,
"blaek, domination. and other boz
gies of prophecy, we must not, as I
see it., give them any weight whatso-
ever. We cannot regulate our short
lives by the fear of: something far, in
the future which will probably nev-
er happen at; all, ALL we can do ia
to, be right at: this: moment and, let
the future take care OF itself; 1t will
anyway, There is> no: other sane
method: OF procedure. =, Much as we
may desire it, the future arrange
mont of this universe is not in eur
hands AS to the matter of "superi-
GRITTY" or ..inferiority," it Is not a
subject of argument at all; nor can
we keep or attain. ''superiority" by
laws or color lines, or in any other
way, except by being superior. II
we are right, absolutely right, in the
eternal principles. we can rest III
peace that the matter Of our superb
GRITTY will take care of ITSELF
