tanned. BY the proposed ordinance
Omaha will follow in the footsteps of
other large cities which require con-
tractors to keep thoroughfares open
and safeguard pedestrians by the cree
ton of temporary sidewalks, with
cover protection and enclosed with
fences. The ordinance as drawn is
defective, however, in failing to pro-
vide against the billboard nuisance.
Whether or not billboard signs are toll
Grated on private property, they
should not be permitted on fences
erected in the streets just because the
contractor may recoup on space rental.
The city council should not give the
billboard nuisance any more leeway.

Nation Turns to Sports.

No people in the world pay more at.
tention to sports than those of the
United States and not even in Eng
land, long noted al a nation of sports
men, is the indulgence so universal or
does it embrace such a variety Of di-
versions. While base ball is justly
called our national game and draws
its thousands every day, it is far from
standing alone in Its class. The sport
ing pages of the newspapers are the
best evidence Of tho intense and prac-
tically universal interest taken in
sporting events. Newspapers do not
publish such quantities of matter on
sports or any other topic except in
response to popular demand. Like the
department store. the newspapers aim
to offer the sort Of news that the pub
lie wants to buy.
The increasing interest in sports in
this country is a natural reflection of
the life of the people. There must be
some foil for the intensity of our bust
ness life, and everyday habit cannot
find it in listless idling, but rather in
changing temporarily the direction OF
our activities.
