Paid Official Will Look After Affairs
of Association Convention Adopts
Resolution Against Government
Printing Envelopes.
Oniahn, .fun 8. A "smoker" nnd en
tertainment given by the Omaha Ad
club at the Home garden last evening
was the farewell feature of the Ne
braska Press association convention,
closing what Is conceded on every
hand to be the greatest gathering In
the history of the association from the
standpoint of Interest, entertainment
and attendance.
Aside from the address of Courtland
Smith, vice president and general
manager of the American Press asso
ciation, and a few words of felicitation
from Penn P. Fodrea in behalf of the
ad men, the closing session was given
over to light entertainment, the three
strenuous days spent by the visiting
editors and women In Omaha making
the restful entertainment In the cool
garden decidedly appropriate.
What the editors think of the re
ception accorded them in Omaha Is
shown In a measure by the resolutions
passed at the closing business session
In the afternoon. The resolutions
abound In the heartiest and sincerest
expressions towards the Commercial
club and the city In general.
In addition to the good words for all
who contributed towards the signal
auccess of the great gathering, the
association placed Itself on record In
favor of a state bureau of publicity
and heartily indorsed the project to
place "markers" along the course of
the Oregon trail.
Editors Propose to Reorganize.
The plan proposed by F. O. Edge
combe for the Nebraska Press associa
tion was provisionally adopted. The
plan provides for a permanent secre

C. C. Johns, who has begun his
fourth term as secrotary, was given a
handsome gold watch as a token of ap
pteclatlon A resolution was adopted
against the printing of envelopes by
the government in competition with
local offices, and resolutions of thanks
were passed for all the people who
have contributed to the entertainment
of the convention.
Proceedings in Detail.
The opening session of the thirty
ninth annual convention of the Ne
braska Press association Monday was
devoted to welcoming addresses and
the appointment of committees.
Almost MM of the editorial and busi
ness managers of Nebraska newspa
pers were assembled Tuesday morning
for the second day of the convention.
Sheridan Ploughe, president of the na
tional association, spoke upon the
present attitude of the postal depart
ment. Mr. Ploughe, who is a very
popular leader among newspaper men,
was a member of the national commit
tee which went to Washington to in
7estlgaie the question of the printing
o envelopes by the government and
the raising of postal rates on pub
lished matter. He described the meth
ods in use for printing envelopes am'
voiced the protest of publishers gen
erally against any Increase In postal
rates on second class matter.
Nil .-s FCuiihi' Haskins. editor of the
"Press" of Stella, one of the woman
editors who have been successful In
their work, spoke of the ideals of
rmnll town newspaper work and made
a plea for a higher standard.
"The editor of a newspaper should
curse of del lunch was enlivened" tP
Dimmock's hand.
After dinner 700 employees of the
Union Stock yards deployed before
the visitors. A photograph of the as
sembly was then taken, after wblch
the ladles of the psrty were taken for
a trip to Fort Crook and the delegates
retired to the Exchange dining room
for a burlness session. At the session
the following officers were elected: J.
M. Tanner of South Omaha, president;
H. O. Taylor of Central City vice
president; C C. Johns of Grand Isl
and, secrerary-treasnrer, and Miss Eu
nice Haskins of Stella, eorreponding
secretary.
8outh Omaha's Welcome.
At the lunch, Senator J. M. Tanner
of South Omaha, acted as toastmaM r
and Introduced the speakers. Senator
Tnnner, in behalf of the men engaged
In the live stock Industry, the lociil
newspaper nun, the South Omaha
Commercial club, the bankers, mer
chants and citizens in general, ex
tended the visiting editors a most cor
dial welcome to South Omaha.
Bruce McCulloch, editor of the Jour
nal-Stockman, was then Introduced.
Mr. McCulloch paid a high tribute to
the womanhood of the state, whom, he
said, had done their full part In mak
ing Nebraska what it is today.
James H. Van Duseln paid a tribute
to the honorable profession of the
press, of which, he said, he had at one
time been a member.
Before taking up the business of
the session the guests viewed the pa
rade of the stock yards employees,
who, to the number of 700, marched
by the exchange buildings. Each de
partment of the company was repre
sented in the parade, and a moving
picture of the whole was taken.
C. C. Rosewater on "Advertising."
When the business session con
vened Charles C. Rosewater, general
manager of the Omaha Hee, took up
the subject of "Advertising." Mr.
Rosewater went Into practical details
of the business, and his address was
listened to with close attention. The
speaker said that while the associa
tion had a social side, it was certainly
not the main object of the delegates.
He declared that newspapers live by
their advertising, no matter how high
their editorial Ideals may be. Adver
tising was a matter of paramount im
portance and the possible source for
a large amount of revenue to any pub
lisher. Mr. Rosewater discussed rates of
newspapers, and country newspapers
In particular. He insisted on thi
maintenance of a flat rate, even in the
face of greater business at lower
rates. He quoted copiously from the
leading advertising agencies of the
country In support of his position.
If advertising companies found
fault with country newspapers, the
speaker urged that the country news
paper study the cause of the objection
raised against them and benefit there
by. If publishers are honest, newspa
per advertising will always pay. A
remedy for all the ills confronting
publishers today is plenty of good
backhone. He defined advertising as
the repetition of one or similar things
covering a considerable period of time.
Maupin for Publicity.
Will R. Maupin of Lincoln read a
paper entitled "Nebraska sb It Should
Bo Known." The paper was replete
with Information on the state and
closed with a poem.
Several motions In favor of the pub
licity bill were voted down because of
the rule of the association forbidding
interference In questions of a political
nature. Will Maupin put the associa
tion on record as favoring a bureau
of publicity and reform.
Discussing the next meeting place,
Will Campbell of the Omaha Commer
cial club extended a hearty welcome
t.o the visitors for the next year or
any year. By rule of the organization
the next meeting must be held In the
state capital.
Editors Guests at Dinner.
What Ross Hammond termed a
"gabfest," following a reception an
dinner at the Field club. In which the
Commercial club acted as the host.
was another event in Omaha's enter
tainment of the Nebraska Press asso
ciation. The development of Nebraska
and Omaha was the prluclpal theme of
each speaker's address, but many di
vergent views on questions of public
policy vntre expressed. The large
dance hall of the club, which was
turned Into a banquet room, was com
fortably filled.

Editors Visit South Omaha.
Routh Oinriia and the mauasemert
of the Union S! 'ck arils vied success
fully with the aosnlteMo efforts of
Omaha in the entertainment of the
editors, who held tfe second day's
Session Tuesday in the Live Stock ex
change at the Union Stock yards.
Over lOo editors with the ladies of
their families arrived from Omaha Im
mediately bfore noon in special cars.
The company was immediately escort
ed to the Union Stock yards, where
the visitors were taken on a tour of
Inspection through the different de
partments of the great plant. At It: SO
a dainty lunch was served in the din
Ing hall of the exchange building,
where about 400 of the visitors par
took of the company's hospitality. The
Mr NVattles made, a plea for due ra
pport to property as well as to per
sonal rights, asking the editors to
treat the former with respect in Ju
alcious proportion to the latter
'Prosecution must not become perse-
rutlon," he said.
Wattles Pleads for Capital.
The speaker added that with the
present attitude toward public service
orpoi. i nns in Omaha, no capitalist
would invest money In lnterurban
lines in 'his state. "Capital is timid,
and the real Investor will demand
tome assurance eventually of a fair
recompense on his investment, which
will not be coming to him while tha
Hate still is in the constructive
rears." he continued.
"We are in a new era. Whether
e were spanked into It, or whether
era came to It through a spirit of ai
tmfsm, I will not attempt to say." Mr.
(Tort said. "The Union Pacific le fac
ing Issues squarely for the people.
Every attempt Is being made toward
the settlement and growth of this
state by the road. n advertising
appropriation last year was $500,000.
This Is bringing to notice of the peo
pie of the east the opportunities that
wait them in the territory that is
contiguous to Omaha."
Through gatherings like the editors'
convention, Mr. Hammond averred,
Ihe people of the state and the me
trorolis are brought to a better under
stnndnlg. Mr. Hammond decried what he
termed was an attitude of fear for the
point of view of the press toward cap
ital that was Implied In Mr. Wattles'
address.
"As the press becomes acquisitive,
it becomes conservative. What I
mean Is that the prosperous press of
today will treat property rights with
nil due respect," Mr. Hammond said.
"I wish to nllny the fears of Mr. Wat
tles on that point."
Wednesday's Proceedings.
The addresses of Wednesday morn
ing were by Willis E. Reed of Mad
ison, who spoke upon "The Country
Editor and the Country Lawyer." A.
L. Gale spoke on "Personal Ser
vice of the Advertiser." W. N. Huse of
Norfolk, whose paper was read by his
son, on "Advertising Ourselves," and
by J. W. Thomas of the Alliance Her-
uld on "Advertising Rates." A. W.
Iadd of the Albion News conducted a
round tnble.
At the noon luncheon given by the
printing material houses of Omaha at
the Rome. Mr. Davidson presided over
an enjoyable program ar.d the Rev.
John Matthews of the First Baptist
church delivered the principal address.
The minister held up high ideals ne-
fore the association and pleaded for
'grit, grnee and gumption," which
qualities, he asserted, are necessary
to bring about the- publication of only
clean news, editorials and advertising.
The afternoon program contained
the following papers: "Consolida
tions," F. O. Edgecombe, Geneva Sen
tinel; "Clubbing Our Papers," Don C.
Van Dusen, Rlnir Pilot; "The Solicit
or," R. B. Walquist, Hastings Demo
crat; "Departments Possible for the
Country Paper," Edgar Howard, Co
lumbus Telegram.
Reed Proposes "Press Day."
That in recognition of what the
press has done, is doing and will con
tinue to do there should be set aside
a holiday known as "PresB Day," was
an Idea set In motion by Willis E.
Reed of Madison, in his address.
"I have thought It but a just reward
for the great benefits which the press
is doing for humanity as a public
benefactor, that not only our state
but our nation as well, should set
aside a holiday upon which we all can
meet, observe, pay due reverence and
respect to this great pillar of liberty
throughout the land," said Mr. Reed,
in speaking of the plan, towards the
close of his remarks.
"Let it be known as 'Press Day,'
through which freedom of thought and
conscioence may ever have expression
without restriction, without dlscrimlna
tion, bias or prejudice; becoming
crusaders of the Twentieth century as
disciples of truth and justice In the
Interests of every man, woman and
child In every land and clime."
It was a pleasing tribute to their ef
forts, which the editors were quick to
appreciate and the speaker was
roundly applauded.
Words of Farewell.
Colonel T. W. McCullough of the
Omaha Hee delivered the farewell ad
dress, which he said was no farewell,
but a passing greeting until the next
occasion. He told of his own early
printing experiences, when he was
foreman In an office in which ex
President Wood was the "devil." Sen
ator J. M. Tanner, the new president,
responded.
Speech weary and tired from the
successive rounds of dinners and
luncheons, the editors were regaled
last night with song and joke as the
closing festivity of what was consid
ered by tho visitors as the most suc
cessful convention In the history of
the Nebraska Press association.
The banquet hall of the Rome hotel
was filled at the buffet luncheon In
which the Bee was tho host. Follow
ing the luncheon the Omaha Ad club
entertained in the Rome summer gar
den. Amenities were observed by
two short speeches, but vaudeville of
I hat type which is associated with
open air entertainments filled the
most of the program.
CouitlanJ Smith, vice president and
general mnnager of tae American
Press association, addressed the
newspaper men upon techincal sub
Jects.
A real black face comedian sang a
soni? which was Intended to raise the
(diners of mouths that were inclined
to droop with weariness. And It did.
Said song was of the typical "coon"
variety and the singer declared that
chicken "any old way at all" looked
good to him.
Then a red haired youth with a good
n itured smile shouted all about a cer
tain chord that Is a prerogative of
"tonsorlul parlors." His smile fitted
In with the refreshing breeze that
came in o r the fence surrounding
the garden and helped make the even
ing all the more restful.
After shouting a coon song, a girl
with a yellow frock and a red ribbon
in her hair donned a 'Tommy Atkins"
cap and danced to the tune of a popu
lar American air. But no one seemed
to care about the Incongruity. And so
it was throughout the evening. Mo
tion pictures displayed an equal pro
portion of comedy and heart throb and
helped in rhe effort to leave a pleas
ant impression in the minds of the
writers of "heavies "
