About threescore Nebraska state
bankers met in Lincoln close of last
week and decided to test the constitu
tionality of the Nebraska bank guaranty
law in the courts John L Webster
who doubts the constitutionality of the
law has been engaged to prosecute the
test to a decision
The Tribune has been under the im
pression for years thatOmahas growing
greatness has been due to the fvct that
that city is the distributing point for
several rich and expanding states
That great manufacturing enterprises
the railroads and numerous commercial
interests have provided the rich red
blood of business upon which prosperity
has feed and deyoloped in Omaha
Alas twas a dream That superb and
magnificently developing business
structure according to the brewing
and allied inteiests of that city is based
upon booze and restricting the hours
of its sale is choking the life out cf
that great community In seriousness
of course this claim is a gross libel on
the manhood and intelligence and patri
otism of better and greater Omaha
which stauds to gain from this measure
though some interests will and should
suffer
The Omaha Bee takes the following
measure of the Douglas county delega
tion in the last legislature And it fits
like the paper on the wall
The Bee does not hesitate to say that
with not to exceed two exceptions the
Douglas county delegation in the late
legislature could scarcely have been
worse Instead of making friends for
Omaha and shaping legislation to bene
fit their constituents their disgusting
behavior and brazen subserviency to
corporation masters antagonized and
alienated the decent membership of the
legislature ordinarily disposed to be fair
Assuming that the roustabouts and
tricksters constituting the Douglas
delegation were truely representative of
the people who sent them there and
that their flagrant misconduct was
typical of Omaha as a whole the law
makers from the outside districts simply
refused to give Omaha any considera
tion whatever or to place any depen
dence upon the Douglas county gang
Advocacy of a measure by the delegation
from Omaha came to be equivalent to
its condemnation either as a boodle job
or a corporation scheme
