President's Annual Address.
In his annual address. President
Edwards stressed the fact that the
present day newspaper is growing
along cleaner lines and that editors
and publishers are watching more
carefully that which fills up their
columns. The newspaper he said is
getting to be the great medium for
disseminating not only the actual
news happenings but also the great
achievements and advancements that
mark mankind's progress. It is but
right that a journal that reaches
the home should be clean safe and
sane in its policies and. above all.
honest to its readers he said.
Another matter which gave the
president reason for gratefulness he
said was the tact that during the
past year there has been a weeding
out of papers in towns which could
not support them. It is better he
declared to have one or two well-
supported newspapers in a town
than three or five poorly supported
ones and while he asserted he was
no believer in combinations or con-
solidations. yet it made for the gen-
eral benefit to have a newspaper
supported.
The president’s message was sub-
mitted to a committee consisting of
Messrs. Rountree Gresham and
Hunter who will report later on the
suggestions embodied in it.

Just before the close of the morn-

woman suffrage. She said that wom-
en are Interested in the market
house In street cleaning In the sani-
tary affairs of the city and in the
police protection that is or should
be accorded the home. Admitting
that the natural sphere of woman is
the home she said that conditions
had forced 8000.000 women into
commercial life and that these as
well as those who did not have to
enter business pursuits ought to be
entitled to have voice in how the
country should be governed.
"What we are asking" she said
"is that the men allow us to come In

alone with children but with the
ballot.”
Miss Brackenridge was given great
applause as she seated herself.
