Woman's Weekly: The Transmississppi
Exposition Is bound to receive favorable
treatment at the hands of our legislature
this winter. No man who pretends to have
any interest in his fellow man in the
state can afford to oppose thing so helpful
and so far-reachng as this. 1t is getting
into shape at the Omaha end of the line
and all are glad that things are so peaceful
on the surface, however much they may be
seething on the inside. Winter is a good
season for the seething and we know that as
soon as the snow is gone and spring plowing
begins the boiling will all be over and for
gotten in the rush and hustle bound to come

aside but the idea that we must have the
biggest show on earth and in order to do that
every man, woman and child must be for 1t
all the time and get everybody else to be
for 1t.

Pawnee Republicans The Transmississppi
and International Exposition to be held at
Omaha in 1898 will be the greatest event in
the history of the state, AS the Worlds
fair was to Chicago so will the international
exhibition be to Nebraska and no patriotic
citizen should fail to give his best efforts to-
ward the success of an enterprise whose
ramincations will extend to every nook and
corner OF the state
Gerlng Courier: Nebraska is interested as
a state in the success of the proposed Trans
mississippi Exposition We believe nothing
can be done which will more tend to Offset
the unfavorable influence which resulted
from the repeated drouth years than
the holding of a monster show
i'm the state. Unless our own leg
islature comes to the front with liberal
appropriation for the exposition we cannot
with justice ask other western states to par
ticipate, and inasmuch as the great pre-
pOnderance of benefit will accrue to Ne
braska the Courier is most heartily in favor
OF an appropriation of not less than 5000, 900.
This Is a minimum, and we believe still
more would be warranted by the increase
in the taxable property which will follow
here as in every other state where such
exhibitions have been carried ON.
Nlobrara Pioneer: The legislature should
be very liberal in its aid of the Transmits

tion will be cheaper advertisement for Ne
braska lands and Nebraska people than the
same amount expended otherwise. re-
