Qmahas Exposition Still Holds Record.
While other exposltions have been larger,
projected on q grander scale and more magni-
ficent in execution. the climax being last struck
by the San Francisco effort on which the gates
have just closed, omaha's exposition still holds
the record for paying back the money put in
by the stockholders. San Franeisco had to mort
gage its gate receipts to keep In the running. and
celebrated a glorious jubilee when II emerged
from the woods of debt. but. at that. the best
estimates OF the finances leave it to the good,

sure 10 be consumed restoring the grounds and
meeting the usual aftermath contingencies. So
far as any return OF the millions invested in
the Panama exposition by the stockholders is
concerned. no one holds out very great expecta-
lions.
True, OmahA's exposition was a little one by
comparison. But though the conditions here we're
almost equally trying with those that beset San
Francisco. careful management In all depart
ments, together with generous public support.
and judicious cutting OF the garment TO fit the
cloth produced a balance sheet that enabled
the Trans Mississippi Exposition company to
return ninety per cent OF the stock subscriptions
In this respect Omaha's record was not only
unmatched, but nowhere near approached by
any other exposition ever held in this country,
and It is page in cur history that must ever
shine forth brightly.

The Sunday Newspaper a Necessity.

Now comes the supreme court of Missouri.
and gives judicial support TO fact already ad-
mitted by the people. that the Sunday edition OF
daily newspaper is q necessity. The court goes
little further. and points out that on no other
day OF the week does the newspaper come nearer
filling its proper function than on Sunday. II
Is on that day people have the most leisure time
to devote to the peruAal Of It's columns. TO enjoy
its manifold attractions. and TO asslmilate its
message.
This has long been known to the editors and
publishers OF the country, who have for many
years bestowed especial pains on the preparation
OF the sunday edition. TO the end that II may
deserve the scrutiny to which It Is certain to be
subjected. While the courts decision will bring
little Of information to the newspaper offices it
IL valuable because OF the effect Il may have on
some who have habitually pretended to consider
the Sunday newspaper as something that could
as we'll be dispensed with.
