that royal welcome would await the

Beatrice Sun: Omaha certainly did a fine
Job Of entertaining the newspaper men Of
Nebraska. One result Of the session will
be to cut out much of the unfriendly feel
Ing toward the metropolitan city. Neither
Omaha nor the rest Of the state can af-
ford to have relations unfriendly
Clay Center Sun: The sun was not repre-
sented at the annual meeting of the state
Press association in Omaha. and from re-
ports published, the Sun was the loser. 1t
occurs TO us that the meetings are held
at the wrong time for the greatest con-
venience and comfort of the newspaper
people. 1t sure was this time for the Sun.
Tekamah Journal Omaha was lavish
In the entertainment it offered to the
newspaper men in Nebraska who met in
their annual session at the Nebraska
metropolis. The Journal publisher was
fortunately able to be there Monday and
Tuesday. In company with Mrs. Tamplln
we spent two pleasant days with the Ne
braska printers and their wives with
Omaha citizens as hosts.
Hlldreth Telescope: The thirty-ninth an
nual meeting Of the Nebraska Press asso-
citation held in Omaha last week was I'M
doubtedly the most successful one from
every point of view in the history of the
association. The business end OF the pro-
gram was exceptionally interesting and
profitable and the social side lacked moth
ing. The Omaha Commercial club. and in
fact 1t seemed as IL every citizen of the
metropolis, had constituted himself or her
self committee of one to see that the
visiting editors had royal good time, and
they certainly succeeded.
Fillmore County News The editor and
wife attended the Nebraska Press associa-
ton meeting in Omaha, and it is with
greatest pleasure we bespeak Of the courte-
Gus treatment shown to the newspapers of
Nebraska by the various jobbing houses,
Commercial club and the people in gen
eral, for their numerous banquets, enter
tainments and pleasure rides. South
Omaha comes in also for it's full share of
praise for the part Of one days session in
that city. Omaha 10 making rapid strides
as a big city and the advancement noticed
every time we visit II is noticeable.
Fender Times: The Times editor, his wife
and son attended the meeting Of the State
Press association at Omaha. II was "A
great convention ana the dig town DOWN
the road covered Itself with glory as a
host. Omaha, the chief city OF our state,
had an opportunity to make good with the
press of Nebraska and 1t accepted every
chance and there isn't an error on It's
score card. The gathering brought out the
magnificent band OF men and women that
make up the press OF the state and the
personality of the newspaper people was
surprise even TO the editors themselves.
Central City Nonpareil: Never again will
the editors of Nebraska say that Omaha
lacks in the essential qualities Of hos
pitanty. That criticism has been uttered
in the past, and when It was spoken It was
the truth The editors are as critical as
before, but Omaha has changed In receTh
months Omaha has been taking a course
In advanced geography and It has learned
that it is part Of the state of Nebraska
The discovery has magnified it's interest
in the state and opened the S,oodgates OF
its hospitality. The Nebraska editors were
among the first to share in the pleasures
OF the awakening.
Tecumseh Journal Newspaper people OF
Nebraska who were permitted to be pres
ent at the association meetings held In
Omaha last week have every reason to
feel proud Of the splendid entertainments
given them by the warm-hoarted enter
prising and progressive residents of Ne
braska's metropolis, Indeed II was a gen
eral expression among the visitors THAI
never before had they been so laYishly
entertained-nor had their previous well
come to any city been so warmly bestowed
In years to come Omaha people will be
gamers by their very agreeable manner
toward the country press and its hard
working members.
Kearney Hub At the recent meeting OF
the Nebraska State Press association at
Omaha. Judge Willis n. Reed of Madison
gave a talk on THE Country Editor and
the Country Lawyer" in which he took
the ground that II would be a just reward
for the great benefits which the press Is
doing for humanity that not only in Me-
braska, but the nation as we'll, a day should
be set apart 20 be observed as a holiday,
ION which we can all meet, observe, and
pay due reverence and respect to this great
pillar of liberty throughout the land"
Newspaper publishers and editors will, OF
course, thank the speaker for his kindly
sentiments, but his proposition is not fea-
sible nor would the distinction be wholly
deserved. Commentator should follow q
proper and righteous course by a news
paper CultoI, q prcocnert a lawyer, or any
other citizen, but the suggested distinction,
applying TO either is not at all necessary
As q matter OF fact we all have 80 much
OF human frailty OF which We need TO be
purged that the act OF canonization would
be work Of supererogation.
Shelton Clipper: Omaha people have
certainly acquired a way OF doing things
that causes others TO sit up and take no
| tice This was demonstrated during the
meeting IN the metropolis OF the Nebraska
Press association. OF course, it might
have been the idea Of Omaha TO set some
good advertising for their city as well a.
to create a good feeling among the editors.
but even II they ala have this view in
mind, they are not TO be blamed for IT,
for they gave the editors the time OF their
lives. There was a noticeable differenos
between the way the people OF the metrop-
oils seemed TO look upon the country
editor now and a few years ago. and the
difference was appreciated by the editors
II Is the spirit shown by the OmAhans IN
their entertainment OF the newspaper men
that has been responsible for the wonder
full growth the city has made the last few
years. That the visit OF the press Asso-
cistion and the manner OF their reception
