Apology and Explanation A few weeks ago this Household Neces sity "and Family Fireside's Comforter es sayed a little humor in mentioning the fact that the State Teachers' Association had de cided upon Omaha as the next place of meeting, passing up Lincoln. Meaning to write sarcastic we expressed -wonder that the teachers of our children should overlook Lincoln's saintly charms end snuggle up to Omaha, where the red light giittereth and the tinkle of the cut glass goblet ringeth musically in the ears. As a matter of fact we intended to be sarcastic to a degree in animadverting upon some of the pharasaical arguments of certain Lincoln folk, but to our. astonishment, to say nothing of our hu miliation, some Omaha friend" took our at tempt at humor as a "slap" at Omaha. Far be" it from Will Maupin s Weekly to slur Omaha the biggest and best city in the west,-njeaured by an ane standard. The editor of this Guide to Happiness and Men tor of Good Morals spent twelve happy years in Omaha, working with a jolly bunch ' of congenial Christian spirits and daily communing with men of business push and busy brains. Neither this newspaper nor its editor has any patience with those who would have the world believe that Omaha is a sink hole of corruption peopled by men who would trrdc their immortal 'souls for the favor of Gambrinus. We know better. We know that Omaha's citizenry is equal to that of any other city in America ; that her business men are wide awake, progres sive and enterprising; that her business is growing by leaps and bounds, and that her moral standards are quite on a par with the moral standards of any other city of equal size. Will Maupin's Weekly apologizes if it has offended any of its good Omaha friends by -a futile attempt at humor and sarcasm. The next time we attempt .it in' any such connec tion we will submit a plain diagram, Nebraska's Needs One of Nebraska's greatest needs is finr ancial legislation that will permit of the formation of trust companies. This would encourage the use of domestic money in fin ancing domestic projects and retain in Ne braska millions of dollars now sent east for investment in stocks and bonds.. In our anxiety to "curb the corporations" we have over-played the game a bit, and the result is that it is now practically impossible to finance such projects as thet building of interburban electric lines, developing big water powers and creating huge manufac turing enterprises. Surely there is a safe middle ground between the old system that makes the creation of such big projects practically impossible. Pa Rourke says his Omaha joints are due to win every exhibition game this spring. What Pa means is that the Omaha joints, are past due,
