EDITORS WILL GET NO PASSES
Nebraska Press Association la Cnanl
to Make th Wrinkle
This Tim.
Th program Is out for the two days'
meeting of the Nebraska Press association
In Omaha on February 19 and M. The
meetings will be held at Crelghton hall
and the secretary-treasurer's offlre will be
at the Murray hotel. Mayor Dahlman will
deliver an address of welcome and Henry
C. Richmond of the Fremont Herald will
respond. President Frank D. Reed of the
Shelton Clipper will deliver his annual ad
dress Tuesday afternoon, and the annual
poem will be read by Mrs. Isabel Richer.
The response to this will be made by Gray
Remis of York, and Will M. Maupln will
read the secretary's report. Sessions will
be held Wednesday morning and afternoon.
An effort was made by Will M. Maupln,
secretary-treasurer, to secure free trans
portation from the railroads for the mem
bers of the association and their wives, but
this was blocked by L. W. Wakeley, gen
eral passenger agent of the Burlington,
who replied to Mr. Maupln aa follow:
OMAHA. Feb. 1. Mr. W. M. Maunln.
Secretary-Treasurer Nebraska Press As
sociation, Lincoln: My Dear Sir I am In
receipt of your courteous letter of the lltn
ult., applying for free transportation for
the members of the Nebraska Press associ
ation and their wives on the occasion of
the annual meeting of that association.
1 regret to say that our management
cannot see its way clear to continue to
Issue this complimentary transportation.
The Interstate Commerce commission has
ruled that the law forbids our exchanging
transportation for advertising In news-
rapers, or for anything else but money,
n accord with thnt ruling we have made
our contracts for 1907 with the newspspers
entirely on a cash basla, and our advertis
ing appropriation was very largely in
creased to cover the new situation.
As you know, the Issuance of passes has
been condemned by cotigreas. It has been
condemned by many newspapers of the
country and this state, and there Is a
strong sentiment among the people of Ne
braska against the Issuance by the roads
of any form of free transportation, and
tne issuance or paaes to editors going to
their convention might be questioned by
other classes who are not so favored en
route to their conventions.
To Issue complimentary passes In Ne
braska would mean that we should do this
In Iowa, In Missouri, and throughout the
United States, and It would thus appear
that the railroads and the newspapers were
combining to obstruct the progress of the
rerorm whim is spreading throughout the
country, and which Is Intended to cure the
evils of free transportation.
i am sure mat every editor in tne state
will, upon reflection, conclude that under
tne conditions which have been put before
us, commencing January 1. 1907. there Is
nothing else we can do. Yours verv truly,
L. W. WAKELEY.
At the meeting last year the attendance
was 300. and the treasurer calls upon the
members to com this year, for to stay
away because the railroads have cut off
transportation "would Indicate that we are
quitters."
The - Bee will tender a theater party to
the members and their wive Tuesday even
ing and Wednesday evening the local com
mittee will tender the members a theater
party. The Boe has also Invited the mem
bers to make The Bee building their headquarters-while
In Omaha and to have their
mall addressed In car of The Bee and to
come to The Bee office to do any of their
work while In the city.
Government sad Boad Companies.
The United States government has re
cently ruled that no aurety company shall
qualify on any bond the penalty of which
1 greater than 10 per cent fit its capi
tal and surplus. '
The Fidelity and Deposit Company of
Maryland, one of the oldest surety com
panies in th world, shows by Its state
ment, as of December tl last, published
ln another column of this paper, that Its
capital and surplus amount to $4,836,181,
thus making It qualifying ppwer on any
one bond 1483.658. This probably Is the
greatest qualifying power of any surety
company In existence.
When the fact that th Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland haa since
Its organisation paid for dishonesty of
trusted employes and fiduciaries the
enormous sum of 84,577,992, a slight idea
Is gained of the value of corporate surety
ship. This company was one of the first to
enter the state of Nebraska, and Is now
represented In the city .of Omaha by H.
S. Byrne as general agent at 203, First
National Bank Bldg.
Orders for glailng executed promptly.

Full Capital Paid Ip.
The full amount. 1260,000, of the capital
stock of the Orchard & Wllhelm Carpet
company Is paid up. Instead of 8215,010, as
was stated recently. This statement I
made b ya member of the Arm, the former
statement having come from another source,
which understood there was a balance after
the reincorporation last week not paid In.
President Dixon, however, says this is er
roneous. 0

Always Fresh Chocolates
One of the several reason why the demand for Dy
ball's chocolates are increasing so rapidly Is because
they are always fresh when purchased
counters.
Chocolates that have been kept for a time,
or delayed In shipment, become stale and
soggy and lose much of their flavor and
wholesomeneas regardless of how delicious
they may have been when made.
When you buy TJyhall'e chocolates It Is a
guarantee that yfiu have a chocolate that is
pure, wholesome and fresh. Made dally in our
own confectionery, under , our personal
supervision. 1
If you have never eaten Dyball's chocolates,
we urge you to purchase them next time.
