This construction of the law has ever sitice been strictly atillered to by tile city co1ncI1 as well as by tile county ColumIssiOtlerS iii their yearly contracts for otlielni advertising. Judge Keysor's position was fuiiy stis- tamed ly tile $ UiWelllO court of We- braska In a. decIsion rendered a year ago.

According to Judge Biker : , the till'CO eietllellts of a iiewspaper nrc : First , a distinct ntine ; seconl , a sell- arate list of subscribers ; tikird , a mit- terimil difference ill cotitents.

Tilercfore judge Baker iloltis that tile ? ilorilngVoridHeraid and the Evening ' \Vorid.Ilerald are in combination Silcil a iiieditttn for publlsiling legal notices as tile mw contemplates. If this is the correct version of tile law , tilen Jlldge Keysor and the nh- promo court arc wrong and the Olnalla 1)011cc tOlflm11iSSioii and tile Board of County Colnllllssiotlers are correct. If so , where woifid it leave time city in It officIal dvertlslng ? Tile Evening ' \Vorld- \ Hernldis now aI(1 for two months past has been the official paper of the city of Omaha , but no city nlvcrtlsenlent Is ever inserted. in 'time Morning World- herald. If tile circulations of tle two papers can be comnblned for advertising ilquor license iiotlces , how can tue city's legal notices be omitted from tile Morn- big Worid-Ileraid without vitiating evel.y iiotico affecting the collection of taxes or tile letting of contracts ? Sup- lOSO a foreclosure notice is Inserted In tim Morning Worid-ileraiti and an appeal - peal is taken to Judge Baker's court on the ground that this atlvertlsenlemlt does not fulfill the conditIons of tile law because It does not reach all tue subscribers - scribers of tile two papers. Would not Judge Baker at once demy such tnt appeal - peal as preposterotls ?
