Omaha Entertains
Nebraska Editors
The editor of Tho Chief takes Ills
hat olV to Omaha, to her people, her
Commercial Club and to all who had
to do with the entertainment of thu
members of the Nebraska Press asso
ciation.
It is ilotibtlul it there- is any niembei
of the association who attended the
thirly-ulnlh annual convention ol iw
association last week who does not
feel as we do. Kioin what we heattl.
with olio accoid, the meeting was a
grand success.
We can only hope to touch in thu
high places in thu following lesumeof
tile convention's wotk. We scarcely
hope to convey even a faint idea of
the real Joy which permeated the at
mo-plieie of the occasion from llrsi to
last.
lu the Hist place the member.-, ina
thank (Sod for due weather and in the
second place thank Omaha for its
lavish enleitaintnent. Knr it was lav
Mi, indeed, it was apparently born
of teal hospitality. .Members of the
Omaha lte-s Mob saw to it that the
Cmumcroial Uuti and leading factors
in OiuhIiii's eoiuuieieial greatness got
busy, and they did.
The Kdl tor of the Chief, like others,
was hardly prepared to Hud that,
aottml expenses of tlio editors wore
prepaid. KPted and dined at every
meal time, the editois had nothing to
pay but tor an occasional breakfast
Automobiles sailed them around the
city through its beautiful paths, and
nil gratis. It was a treat from start to
linMi.
The opetiiug session was livid at the
Masonic hall, directly acrossthe street
from the magnificent Loyal Motel,
which was the headquatters for the
visiting editors. Mere it was that
leading men of the city and the state
participated in the welcome and the
responses. Roger O. Craven of the
World Herald eloquently welcomed
the editors lu behalf of the press,
while Mayor Oahliualt wittily and
heartily teudeied the scribes the t'ne
dom uf the city and turned over thu
keys.
It was at this sessiou that our old
friend Henry C. Richmond, who had
charge of the local end of the Chief
some twenty yeais ago, hove into
view. Colonel Richmond had a glad
hand for yours truly and for Oeotge
llutchi-nn, who accompanied the
Chief, mid had also welcomed all
members of the profession in due and
ancient form. Richmond is a gie.it
friend of T. W. MeCullough. managing
editor of thu Hee, who was the head
of the reception committee,
Then theie was the inimitable Chat
lie I'oole, the Teeutnseh editor, who Is
a democratle candidate for governor.
There was Kdgar Howard, the trouble
home statesman of Columbus, Aulc
V'io Hates, the well known woman
writet; Ibe-sl,. Hammond, of Fremont,
siouutnr "Doc" Tanner, tho South
Omaha statesman. Piaiik l-'dgecomhe,
the blind editor of Ouelu, Will M.
Maupiu, whom everybody knows, c ,l
liuuiliy, the veteran ilomocr.ilic editor
ol 1 ivte and a host of others well
known 111 the piofe-siou. It was a re
piesentative gatht ring
And it was Mime gatheiing too.
When tlie editors and their wlo.s and
sweet hearts weie taken via iintofmi.
bile to the Omaha Field elnn Tuesda
night alter a ride over the city nearly
50(1 plates were used, and preparations
had been mnde for l,PoO if necessity.
This feast at the Field Club was a
thing of joy forever, There were
seated a numberof Omaha millionaires
and captains of Industry, and many
loading citizens vicing with encli
other to do the scribes due honor.
And they did.il well. It was a ban
quet worthy of any metropolis.
The three big newspapeis of Omaha
did their duty. The World-Herald
took thu ladies of the association to
the theatre Monday night. The Roe
gave a bulYet supper for all Wednes
day night and the Dally News gave
the men of the parly n Hue luncheon
at the Heushaw Kastbshtller Monday
noon.
Not the least feature of enjoyment
by any moans- was the luncheon ten
dered tho scribes and their ladies at
the Home Hotel Tuesday noon. It
was a truly .elegant airnir. I. W. Car
penter of tho Carpenter Paper Co.,
presided, and speeches were made by
Dr. W. M. Davidson, who had just
been promoted to the superintendoncy
of cityohools at Washington, I). C,
from the Omaha sellouts. Rer. .lohti
Matthewe, pastor of the First. Raptist
church In Omaha was the other speak
er, liotli speeches were magnificent.
The preacher whoso eloquence has
been heralded far and wide, gave tho
newspaper people good advice, which
was well received, bolug delivered
with much humor. Dr. Davidson's ad
di ess was Inspiring and convincing.
We should be recreant to a duty
should we fall to refer to the evening
at the Ak-Sar Hen Den, that, famous
cave, of mystery which history and
tradition has made familiar to every
lojal Nebraskiin. What happened
that night will never be fully known
to the public, and respect for our
sacred oath forbids any further revel
ations here, It was certainly a great
program however, interspersed witli
songs, the words and music of which
were composed in Omaha ami the
whole staged by Ak-Sar-Ben Knights.
It was music too, that Ooorgo M.
Cohan, to do his best, could not sur
pass. Another feature which linger ever in
the memories of tho editors was the
dinner given by South Omaha at the
F.ohaiige dining room in the Live
Stock Kvehange building. It was a
fenst. Music, llowers, speeches and
crowds it was one of the gayest and
happiest occasions of our sojourn at
the metropilis-. Following the feed, a
splendid address of welcome by .liiinos
II. Van Diisen and u-s.ecoud by Bruce
McCulloch ended the program. Then
the patty went out to view t lie parade
of employees as they passed iu review
for tho moving picture machines.
The ladies of the party had a time
tco. They visited the famous Linni
gorArt gallery, took a spin to Ft.
Cionk and also visited some. of the big
stoles iu the shopping district. They
had little time to rest.
The Chief has no criticisms to make
of the whole all'air. From the stand
point of entertainment it was pcifcct.
The business sessions, too, were help
ful, and it was all thoroughly enjoy
able. The election of otliocrs placed
irt the head of the association. John
M. Tanner for the ensuing year, as
president, and Hon. II. (J. Taylor, of
Central City for vice president. Secre
tary C. C. .lohns was ie-elected secre
tary as he should be, and, incidentally
he was given a handsome gold watch
In token of appreciation of the mem
bers. We believe that such meetings are
helpful and stimulating, and thu one
just held cannot fail to be of lasting
benefit to nil concerned. We all have
a bettor idea of Omaha than before,
and Omaha, as stated by several of
her big men in speeches before the
association, also has a better idea of
thu worth of the members of the Ne
braska Kditorial Association.
