Theodore W. McCullough, editorial
writer for The Omaha Bee. yesterday
rounded out a half century of hews
paper work.
On April 19, 1S73, when he was only
half past 11, he heard that the Ottum
wa (la.) Democrat wanted a strong
boy. And, as he had just had a
"disagreement” with the principal of
his school, he applied for the job and
got it.
He left the Democrat in 1877 and
pursued a rambling life of a journey
man printer for a year and then was
overcome by a boyish desire to run a
locomotive. For two years he was a
fireman, running out of Burling
ton, la.
Then followed years of Work in va
rious capacities on newspapers from
coast to coast.
"In those days," he said, "you
weren't considered a real printer un
less you had worked on the Oil City
(Pa.) Derrick and the Virginia City
(New) Enterprise. I worked on libth.”
Joins Bee in 1891.
He came to The Omaha Dee in 1891
as night editor, was made assistant
managing editor in 189ti, worked on
the Denver Times and Denver Post
for 15 months, returned to The Omaha
Bee in 1900 and was made managing
editor in 1901 and associate editor in

almost entire plays of Shakespeare.
He has lectured and made many con
tributions on economic questions and
the drama. Many of the great actors
are his friends. He occupies a place
in "Who's Who.”
He is a thirty-third degree Mason,
a Shriner and a Knight of Pythias.
He also is proud of the fact that he
lias been a member of the Interna

A cheerful add jovial disposition, a
keen interest in all questions and a
broad sympathy have kept the colonel
young.
Asked what Wou.d lie his advice to
those thinking of entering the editori
al profession, he said:
“If they are ambitious to be rich,
they'd better not come in. Hut if they
want a chance to serve, to come in
close touch with tlie leal tilings of
life, to have a part in tile stage man
agement of the world's affairs, then
'his profession has a place for them.
"I honor, respect and venerate it.

in making a paper. They can’t know
the power and potential influence of
a newspaper. They are too apt to go
on the theory that the newspaper
man is looking for a rlinnet to raise
liell. lie is not. lie Is just trying
to get the facts after someone else
has raised It.
"Great mental capacity and high
moral attributes are requisites of the
good new-paper man. The dishonest
man is soon located and discarded by
the profession.”

How Does Your
Coat Fit
— around the collar?
Is it snug and dressy or does it “hang”
away, as though the coat was a couple
of sizes larger than it should be.
One of the “little bits” of service that we
give our customers is the "re-tailoring”
of all details. We make every suit we
sell FIT just like a custom-tairored
garment.
We do this for two reasons—one because
it pleases the customer, and the other,
we take real pride in seeing our
customers well dressed.
