It was a very unusual proceeding, but they all agreed that the paper was being run on new principles anyhow, and they all watched Mr.Norman carefully as he spoke.
"I called you in here to let you know my further plans for the NEWS.
I propose certain changes which I believe are necessary.

I understand very well that some things I have already done are regarded by the men as very strange.

I wish to state my motive in doing what I have done." Here he told the men what he had already told Clark, and they stared as Clark had done, and looked as painfully conscious.
"Now, in acting on this standard of conduct I have reached a conclusion which will, no doubt, cause some surprise.
"I have decided that the Sunday morning edition of the NEWS shall be discontinued after next Sunday's issue.

I shall state in that issue my reasons for discontinuing.

In order to make up to the subscribers the amount of reading matter they may suppose themselves entitled to, we can issue a double number on Saturday, as is done by many evening papers that make no attempt at a Sunday edition.
