A Trip Whioii was EiJ03ed Through
the Courtesy Others He 32et
tvith the State IrewH and
Enjoyed Trip to Omaha
Las- week was one of the weeks
when we felt especially glad of the
fact that we are a newspaper man
The state press association met in
Lincoln and we were there The way
of it was this
As the guest of the F E railroad
we left Valentine Tuesday morning
and arrived in Lincoln the same eve
ning Proceeding at onca to The Lin
coln we reglsteied dug up our two
silver dollars and were formally en
lolled as a member of the association
After supper we visited our mother
for a few minutes and then joined the
press gang and as a guest of the
management of the Oliver Theatre saw
Tim Murphy play J Green in Old
Innocence The Oliver is one of the
finest theatres in the west and the
play is numbered among the bpst on
the road About 125 ot the bojs and
their better halves were present and
everyone of them seemed to enjor it
and fel glaa the were there After
the plav the time until 1 a m was oc
cupied in getting acquainted
Wednesday morning th real work
of the association was begun and con
tinued throughout the day the session
being broken only by luncheon at the
Union Commercial Club During the
day the following papers were reid
and dicih sed Independent Jour-
fnalism by Eigar Hovurd of the

J Perkins of the St Paul Pioneer the
annual ooenvwas read by Jeu Stone
of the Miuden Gizette The Round
Table was one of the most interesting
features of the meeting and under the
direction of W E Diytou of the
York Republican brought out much
discussion on the eight subjects brought
up Ye -editor had the honor of re
sponding to thp query Which pays
the Better -Politics or the Wood
Pile and advocated the latter The
boys all seemed to think the same
thing During the morning session
the Lond Postal bill was injected into
the dicussion of one of the subjects
under cousiderion and then everybody
talked Our views of this bill are too
well known to our readers to need re
petition here and we advocated them
before the association Much opposi
tion was encountered and finally the
matter was referred to the committee
on resolutions composed of Kimmel of
McCook Simmons ot Seward Purcell
of Broken B w Bowlby of Crete and
Goou of Valentine This committee
brdughtiu two reports one against
the bill and a minority report signed
i by us in favor of the bill The
j nty leport was adopt d the hos
generally declaring that they did not
in dei stand th bill and hey do know
what we now have The minority
gracefully subsided
Wednesday evening the event of the
meeting occurred The State Journal
tendered the boys a banquet at the
Lincoln Htel This statement alone
would indicate that the affair was im
mense the combination of Slate Jour
nal and Lincoln Hotel representing
both a feast for the mind and a feast
tor the stomach but we cant resist
the temptation to give the menu in
