lation, which is 1000 more than the off
cial census. on. those book agents VINO
have directories to sell
Springfield Monitor: II omaha's police
Judge keeps up the present lick Of giving
automobile speeders in that city good
stuff fines the practice OF running over
people will be a thing Of the past ana Pc
destrians can once more feel safe on the
streets.
Fremont Tribune: Omaha is assuming
"the artistic temperament because its
auditorium was packed for an orchestral
concert but Fremont contributed part OF
the crowd and there is no evidence to dis
prove that South Omaha and Council
Bluffs furnished the balance
Springfield Monitor: If anything out of
the ordinary happens in Omaha, lincoln
people are that Jealous that It Is ques-
toned A few nights ago, while in a
somnambulistio state, an Omaha girl
walked down the streets dressed In blue
silk pyjamas. Lincolnites now ask, was
she asleep?
Benkelman News Chronicle; We hoo
rayed to soon. The good wife is alarmed
lest the editor will overeat at Omaha dur
ing the gathering Of the State Press asso-
citation and has delivered the ultimatum,
she will 60 along. Oh well; Omaha Is
big town and maybe we can manage TO set
lost occasionally.
Grand Island Independent: An Omaha
police officer has been suspended because
It has been found that he had proprie-
tsry interest in two houses of III repute.
He defends himself with the statement
that he did not know there was anything
wrong, though now admitting there was.
Probably that might be the reason the
board dismissed him.
Lyons Mirror. just wait till we get
time to open upon those dirty scoundrels
who pretend 20 be merchants and manu-
faeturers OF Omaha with one Of our sweep
ing broadsiders In the meantime we de-
mand that the Omaha Commercial club
! stop their lying TRADE az sent broadcast
| on postal cards or the state will turn
against Omaha Mark what we say!
keArney Hub: The Omaha city council
has finally agreed on q reasonable degree
OF pool hall legislation which does not so
far enough, but is a step in the right d.
rection. Possibly Omaha people think It
Is not any OF our business out in the coun-
try, but II U.s. just this far, Wiz: That
the state suffers from every swarm OF
vicious youth from the large cities Of the
state. who are slated first for a reform
school, become a juvenile menace wherever
they so and finally land by rapid stages
in the state penitentiary, to be released
shortly and start upon an adult career
OF crime. So 1t is the business OF ali Ne
braska to have something TO say II there
is nest for breeding vice down on tie
eastern border OF the state, Just as they
would IL q noisome pest should be toll
Grated by the citizens there TO the detr.-
ment and danger Of innocent citizens else
where Omaha owes IT TO the state to
clean UP the pool halls, clean out the dives,
keep a strong hand on the perverse and
vicious elements, and, in other words, Quit
furnishing the raw material for the
criminal manufacturing business.
