Lincoln News: On Friday Of this week
The Omaha Bee will celebrate its twenty
fifth anniversary by issuing an illustrated
number and by a reception and other fes-
~tivities. The history of The Omaha Bee has f.
been the history of a magnificent and sue
cessful struggle for supremacy among west
ern newspapers. For, no matter what our
opinions may be as to the policy of The Bee,
we are all agreed that as a newspaper it
stands at the head of the press of this state,
and compares well with the big dailies OF
Denver, Kansas City and Minneapolis and
st. Paul. The Bee was founded in 1871 by
its present owner and editor, Edward Rose
water, who has been its presiding genius
during all of this quarter of a century. Mr..
Rosewater is a man of a decided and rather
unique personality. He has been absolutely
fearless in the conduct of his newspaper,
and although the chief fault urged against
him has been his lack of tact, yet the great
and influential newspaper and the magniti-
cent building which bears its name are
to the newspaper genius and
ability of the man.
