Following the roll call several re-
ports were made by the secreatry and
the general consensus of opinion that
ferred to the executive committee .
be reported on at the afternoon ses-
sion. The editors then listened to the
annual address of the president
In his opening remarks President
Black said that his paper could hard
~ be digniied with being styled as an
address as he said it contained only a
few brief suggestions to the associa-
ton concerning it's welfare and some
timely hints in regard to future leg
islation which might be asked of the
state legislative assembly. But it was
he treasurer, which were both re-
Mr.. Black had greatly moderated his
efforts for his paper proved n of
the most interesting addresses that
has been heard at any of the sessions
OF the association in several years.
He made reference to the passage
of the anti-pass bill Nhich did away
with railroad transportation for the
editors. In one way he said this legis-
lation was to be generally regretted on
occasions Of this kind, yet he felt that
it was a measure that had been pro-
ductive of much good and he declared
that he much preferred the present
order of things in this respect. Es-
pecially is the anti-pass act bene-
fetal to the smaller editor in the
smaller towns and villages of the
state on whom had been worked the
greatest injury by the railroads by
the former system of exchange of
transportation for advertising space,
Probably the larger city editor felt
the loss of these exchanges much
more than the country paper editor.
President Black also advised against
asking the next state legislature for
any particular legislation. He spoke
of the fight waged in the state as
sembly a year ago in behalf of the news
papers of the state n the difficulty
with which the legislative committee
Of the association had pushed il
through. Reference was also made tc
the bill that was framed and intro
duced to counterfeit the bill which
succeeded in passing.
Mr.. Black was quite optimistic oVei
the outlook of the association and tht
| newspaper profession in the state ot
North Dakota. He eomplimented thu
association on its growth during thu
last year and Of the great numbeI
who had turned out to attend the pres

Closing the morning session was
talk by G.. A. Wales of Portal IN

concerning the rates on foreign ad
vertising. Mr.. Wales advocated a fla

ent time.
This brought forth much discussion
which became general and lasted un
til the noon hour adjournment.

One of the best addresses of tn
