Thoughts Suggested bg a VISIT
to The Automobile Skom

Every time / go to an auto show and see
the dazzling exhibition of latest models, the
wonderment comes back that such an unforesee-
able progress should be made with what we
used to call the horseless carriage" in such a
short time. As have perhaps more than once
recalled, the first self-propeed vehicle that
traversed the streets of Omaha, according to
my recollection, was a little electric runabout
used by Manager Price of the Swift Packing
plant and operated by electricity. AS it re-
CURED different current from that supplied by
the electric lighting service it was brought
down periodically to the Bee building to be re-
charged direct from our dynamo and stood
for hours in the alley back of the engine room
while that process was going on. Then the
next earliest autos to appear here were of the
steamer" type. and N.Y. what a noise they
could make when they wanted to- These motor
cars were guided by steering rod that looked
like a protruding boat-tller and it was not in
frequent to see one capsze trying a too sharp
turn. / believe it would be an instructive and
also an interesting feature of show to set up
in series some of the old models and give the
present day folks ocular proof Of what the mar
velous development of the auto has been, as
we'll as Of the rapidity of the advance to near
perfection.

not be lost upon us Omaha people, and that is
the possibility and practicability of making our
Auditorium artistically attractive in contrast
with its customary barn-like appearance. What
has been done in the way of decorating the cell
ing and walls has completely transformed the
interior of the building If this result can be
accomplished for the moment with the use of
temporary material, it surely could be matched
and improved on by permanent work Having
put all that money into the erection of the
structure and then having turned it over to the
city at small part of the cost, it ought to be
worth while to do the rest needed to give us an
auditorium that will be attractive and com

So the old Metropolitan Hotel at Twelfth
and Douglas is soon to be passed on to the
wreckers, and the razing Of another land
mark will pave the way to further progress.
This once popular hostelry was put up in 1868
by D. A. Van Nance, preceding the famous
Grand Central by several years It was at one
time operated by the late George A. Joslyn, but
went into the second class after the more pre-
tentious hotels arrived, one by one, as Omaha
became metropolitan in fact and not merely in
corner, more particularly in the night life in
the earlier days, when it was the center of
activity of the Great White Way. But never

Whether a coup of the regulars or of the
progressives, the selection of Congressman
Mondell to be republican floor leader is a
recognition of the middle west and puts Ne
braska in INSTRUMENTATION touch with the
directing head of the work of national legisla-
ton. That a state that is accorded only one
member of the house can pull down this i'm
portant position is another proof that influence
at Washington is acquired by staying on the
job. Mr.. Mondell originally took his seat in
congress in 1895 and, with the exception of two
years which he put in as assistant commissioner
Of the general land Office under President Nc
Kinley, has been continuously elected and re-
elected. When first met Mr. Mondell, he was
occupying the exalted position of mayor of
Newcastle, brand new town at the end of the
Burlington extension into the Wyoming coal
fields He was playing official reception COM
mittee for an excursion of Nebraska newspaper
men invited by the road to inspect the new line
That was about 1890 Newcastle at that time
was a thriving burg inhabited mostly by coal
mipers, and outside of the mine and its Access
SORES, Boosting only the attraction of lively
bunch of booze joints, dance halls and gambling
rooms, usually operating under group manage
ment. The mayor, as | remembered him, was
particularly youthful and delicate in appearance
among the rough, robust miners for whom he
did the honors. Needless to say Mayor Mon
dell, now Congressman Mondel has grown
steadily and notieeably and is today really one
of the big men among our national lawmakers.
He was listed to run for the senate last year and
would surely have been elected, but made way
again for Senator Warren when the latter was
induced to reconsider his decision to retire 1t
will be Senator Mondell of Wyoming some day
if the political cards are not mussed.
