Omaha daily bee., 1911-06-20

Table Rock Argus: Omaha Is a splendid
city. OF which every Nebraskan can be
proud; its business men are enerGetic, push
ing fellows, as the mighty enterprises cen
tered in Omaha will testify, and yet they
took time 20 give the country editor and
his wife the time Of their lives. Omaha
acted as though It was glad to see us, and
the boys and girls OF the Nebraska Press
association appreciate its hospitality.
Hebron Champion: Never was king or
queen treated more honorably or hospltsble
Roosevelt, the man who. Of all his brethren
never was so highly honored by the
nations of the earth, did not receive any
more marked attention or any higher eN-
altration by the people Of Omaha than were
the SO members of Nebraska Press assocl-
alton. Omaha has found out that the coun-
try press is on earth. and we have learned
that Omaha is ION the map" and the
Gateway to the Garden of Eden" "Old
things have passed away and behold all
things have become new" the north and
the south are united" and from now on
We are co-laborers together for the up
building Of Omaha, Lincoln and the whole
state Of Nebraska.
stromsburg Headlight: 1t was our
pleasure. along with some 800 other editors
from over the state and their wives, TO
be the guest OF Omaha The Commercial
club of that city had taken the self-im-
posed task OF entertaining the newspaper
people and had provided hot time" and
lived up to the promise, both as to
weather and entertainment. The object Of
the entertainers seemed to have been to
make their guests forget all troubles and
cares while in the city and also give them
something they would never forget and
that would always be a pleasant memory
Of their lives. II this was the purpose,
they succeeded beyond expectation. To
our mind, a composite picture OF the mem
bership of the Omaha Commercial club
would reveal one big, broad. genial smile
and a glad hand as large and generous as
one of swift's sugar-cured hams. On
every hand the editors were met with a
hearty welcome, and we believe we voice
the sentiment of all when we say that II
was good to be in Omaha and Omaha was
good to all of us.
Alma Record: The meeting of the Ne
braska Press association in Omaha was
one OF the best in the history of the state
from every point of view. The business
sessions were instructive and profitable.
while the entertainment features were
elaborate and we'll planned so as not to
interfere with the business part OF the
program. One OF the lasting results OF
the meeting will be a better understanding
between Omaha and the country newspa-
pers. An educational feature of the con-
vention was the half days visit TO South
Omaha and the stock yards The Magic
City ranks among the first OF the great
stock markets and packing centers of the
world. It was apparent to all who at
tended the convention that Omaha is doing
a great and glorious work in advertising
and boosting Nebraska, then why should
we not all unite and help in this great
work by patronizIng home industry. Prac-
tically everything used in the state can
be purchased within the borders of our
state and Omaha, the market town. is
rightly named the Gateway to the Golden
West. Let us be more considerate OF our
great metropolis and not so quick to
knock but study the conditions and cir
cumstances. and II will be found that there
is a great difference between a large city
and the smaller cities. A careful consider
alton of this fact will. in many cases, re-
suit in a boost, and IL you can't boost,
don't knock but where criticism Is de.
served go your best.
