Greater Omaha wnll soon be a reality, bring- ing with it not only its advantages but its re- ‘ sponsibilities. | Don’t you think that those who are familiar with the needs of our great city; those who have had to deal with its many difficult problems, are more likely to be able to handle them intelli. gently and for the best interest of all the people, than men untried and inexperienced? ' No employer of labor, especially when about [to enlarge his business, would think of chang- ‘|ing his honest and faithful employes for men of ''no experience, in the positions to which they |aspire.
