Famous Editorial Writer to Send Column by Telegraph for Publication Same Day It Is Written. ,, WRITES SO ILl¥t UNDERSTAND Do you read editorials? No matter; you II read Arthur Brisbane * any way. It has been said of Arthur Bris bane that he is the greatest editorial writer in the world. Perhaps this >s true, perhaps it isn't. But this much Is established beyond argument—he does write editorials that interest everybody. You may not agree with Arthur Rrisbane or his writings; you may disapprove of his policies, his theories the conclusions he draws, but you will have to admit that lie writes en tertainingly. that he writes on topics that are pertinent and important and —that he says something. ^ For that reason The Omaha Bee at taches great importance to the an nouncement that Arthur Brisbane's column of editorial comment, which he calls ' Today,'' is to become a reg ular feature of this newspaper. Food for Thought. lake many of Its readers The Oma ha Bee no doubt will not always agree with the positions Mr. Brisbane may take, it may disagree violently with him and in another column say so In no uncertain terms; but it does believe Mr. Brisbane's column will be followed with interest and that his utterances will provide much food for thought. Arthur Brisbane is on* of a very few editorial writers whose work is considered Important enough to print on the first page. Scores of newspc pers print his ‘ Today” column in the first column of the first page every day. Not only that, but Mr. Brisbane’s column is so timely, so freighted with information that it is sent out from his office in New York by telegraph. No other editorial writer in the coun try receives this consideration. Rushed by Telegraph. Mr. Brisbane's column yrill be print ed in The Omaha Bee the same day that it is written. As soon ss he com pletes it Mr. Brisbane sends his copy to the telegraph office in New York and it is immediately dispatched to Omaha as a straight nies«nge. A few hours later the reader has it before him. One of the beauties of Mr. Br.s bane's column is that it is written for everybody. You do not have to be a scholar to understand and appie. iate it. llie wonderful command Of the English language permits him to write in a simple, easy, flowing style, snd his brilliant mird enables him to take the most Involved topic possible and reduce it to terms of the average man or woman. Read Brisbane * time or two. You will find yourself impatient for the next day a issue. All Hrciprs and Foods Tested Before Printed llouacwi.es. this Is for you.

I nivcrsal Serv ice. the New York Tribune ami Manv Other Great Writers and Artiste. It has always been the aim of The Omaha Bee to offci i to its readers the most complete and well balanced nevvspa 1 per possible. In keeping with this policy there will be undertaken a number of constructive improvements which this newspaper ! believes will greatly strengthen the position of The Omaha Bee as the outstanding newspaper of its territory. These improvements will be made along two lines. First, additional wire service. Second, new and additional features. The Omaha Bee will be served by two of the largest news gathering organizations in the world—Tlie Interna tional News Service and the Universal Service. These, mind you, in addition to The Associated Press, whose complete 24-hour report is received by this paper. With the addition of these wires, five great trunk wires will bring more than 200,000 words of news- into this office of The Omaha Bee during each 24 hours. Twice as Big as a Magazine. Pause a moment and give a little thought to what this means to newspaper readers. Vou pay 35 cents for a mag azine. It contains, perhaps, half a dozen to a dozen short stories, a few features and a few special articles and install ments of two or three serial stories. Enough reading matte* for a week, you decide, as you pay the price. Yet the maga* zine contains not more than half as many words as these fit* trunk wires bring to The Omaha Bee each day. The International News Service is a world-wide agenc, for the gathering of news. It operates its wires during th« daylight hours, but its news gatherers are on the alert dav and night. This agency has star reporters stationed at all the strategic news points in the world and its motto is speed and accuracy. It has a large staff of trained writers who know how to whip the news in shape so that it may be transformed from a disconnected account to smooth, easy read story by the time it reaches white print paper. Crack Reporter* All Over World. Universal Service operates a night wire. But like the In ternational News Service its reporters never sleep. It hr. crack men in Washington to gather and write the big po litical news of the day: more crack men in New York where it is said there is something new happening every minute of the day, and in the big European cities and capitals. London. Paris. Berlin. Rome and in Ireland. Russia, the Balkans. Then there is The Associated Press, the largest nev - gathering organization in the world. Omaha is happily sr uated regarding The Associated Press because its grea trunk wires running from Chicago to the Pacific coast run through this city. The Omaha Bee receives the complete service of this famous news agency. At 8 o'clock Monday morning of each week the main trunk wire of The Associated Press begin its work. It continues da\ and night, never slopping unti 3 o'clock the following Sunday morning. Thousands upon thousands of words come over this wire, news messages from Chicago. New York. Washington. London, Paris. Ber lin. Egypt, the China coast, lar off Australia, from every part of the world. Little happens in thi- sphere of ours tha* escapes the alert eyes and ears of The Associated Press and its many employes. Many New Feature* Added. But it is not alone in its wire service that The Omaha Bee takes another step forward. A number of new feature' which will meet with instant approval from discriminating newspaper readers are to be published in this paper, includ ing the complete service of The. New York Tribune. For instance, there is Briggs. Who does not know Briggs" One of the really great comic cartoonists of the age is Clair* Briggs, the former Nebraska man who graduated from tk state university in the days when the Nebraska instituti* - boasted of General John ,1. Pershing as its own. Briggs v . one ot Pershing's mathematics students. All of Briggs’ cartoons w ill appear hereafter exclusively in The Omaha Bee. Look at them once, you will never wa to miss one after that. Because Briggs is a real humori* a real artist, a real cartoonist. Then there’s Ding, as they call him. Jay N. Darling - his real name. Ding is an Iow an, a resident of Dos Moino> He is regarded by many ns the greatest serious cartoonist «> all times. His secret is “punch." Never was there a Dit g cartoon that lacked “kick." Possessed of a brilliant analyii cal mind ami the talent to put his ideas upon the drawing board. Ding has proved himself no le** than a genius an. above all the kind ot genius that can bo understood ami appreciated by everybody. Famous Special Writer*.
