A. B. WOOD IS CHOSEN PRESIDENT
Resolution Adopted Urging Legis-
Iature TO Make Liberal ApprOpria-
tiOn for Purpose of Properly
Advertising Nebraska.
CFrom a staff correspondentN

secretary and treasurer; ANNA V. Gates
Of Auburn, corresponding secretary.
In order to prevent and further de-
ficlencies the association voted to increase
the annual dues to 81.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Your committee has had before 1t the
action Of the Postoffice department in re-
quiring the Fender Republic and also the
Fender Times to pay postage at the third
class. rate on one entire edition of their
papers, because they contained supple
ment giving an address on temperance by
Rev. T. NJ. G. Birmingham, pastor of
the eMthodist church i'm Fender Senator
Norris Brown presented the fitness of this
supplement to the department, but they
declined to give an opinion until 1t was
first published in some paper and when
IL was published this excessive penalty was
attached. They based their action on
section 457 of the postal laws that as it
was, in their opinion, not germane to the
regular issue of the paper
II the report OF a prize fight or base
ball game Is legitimate news, and germane
to the columns of the town paper, it is
surely also proper to give the sermon of
a minister delivered in the church and
when 1t otherwise has not space this very
section expressly provides that ii can be
issued as a supplement ana without being
subject to, extra postage We, therefore
RECOMMEND the adoption of the following:
Resolved, first, mat we condemn the
discourteous and unbusinesslike way of
the Postofftce department in declining to
express an opinion on the fitness of matter
for supplement before It is issued.
Resolved, second, That we protest
against the ruling that excludes from the
periodical press the sermon Of Rev. I,
NJ. G. Birmingham as unfair, unjust and
contaary to the plain meaning of section
457 of the postal laws and memorialize the
president TO order It reconsidered.
Resolved, third, That our senators and
members of congress be requested to
bring this to the attention of the president
and use their influence to have this case
reopened and the former ruling reversed,
as We believe IL should be.
Whereas, II seems probable from un-

Tyrreu Complaint Dismissed.
The State Railway commission has dis
missed the complaint of County Attorney
Tyrfell against the Lincoln Traction COM
pany. The county attorney alleged that the
Lincoln Traction company and the Cit
zens Street railway had formed an illega
consolidation, and he asked that the mer
ger be cancelled; that stocks and bond
issued prior TO the merger be cancelled, and
that the company be stopped from doinl
business not provided for in its charter.
The railway commission in it's orde
quoted the opinion of the attorney genera
to the effect that the question of cancel
ing stock already issued was a matter 10
the courts and beyond the jurisdiction o
the commission. Mr.. Tyrrell probably vii
take the case to the courts.
