II IL predicted that the price level ~

declares that the price level cannot return

There seems 10 he at least a temporary
tendency toward dear food supply. but
there are hopeful factors to be considered
which in time will tend to reduce the cost
OF living. Such artificial imitation OF prices
as arises from the monopolistic control of

removed, II possible, by the enforcement
or anti-monopoly legislation; but the most
hopeful outlook for lower prices for staple
farm commodities lies In the greater do.

sources.

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN


fatrbury journal
Two religious bodies at Lincoln last week
passed resolutions against Edward Rose
waters candidacy for United States SEN
ator
The opposition 20 Rosewater is based on
his views on prohibition. He has always
opposed II. both in speeches and through
his paper. The Omaha Bee.
The preachers who inspired and carried
through these resolutions cannot accuse
Mr. Rosewater OF being two-fsced. They
must acknowledge that he has praetieed
no evasion In his attitude on the prohi-
bition question.
Had Mr.. Rosewater been other than the
editor OF a great newspaper these preachers
might never have discovered that he was
opposed to prohibition. Mr.. Rosewater's
opponent. Mr.. Norris Brown does not con-
duct q newspaper and his ideas on prohl-
bition never see daylight. The preachers.
therefore. neglected TO say anything about
Mr.. Brown.
Thus the preachers put a premium on
evasion; they condemn the man who ex-
presses an honest opinion, and by implica-
ton indorse the one who is foxy enough
to steer clear OF troublesome issues.
This paper believes that frankness and
honesty in opinions is just as essential as
prohibition-more so. There may be an
honest difference Of opinion as to the best
way 70 regulate the liquor trafic.
There can be no difference as to the
question OF honesty. The man who lodges
a question Is much less TO be trusted than
the one who meets II and freely and frankly
states his opinion, II he has one.
It is unfortunate that the man who has
ideas and expresses Thorn 10 always the tar
get for consideration, while the one who
Ensembles ever Is praised.

DAMAGES 40 AINsr AUroMoB1Lrsrs.


The accommodating decisions of the
courts are steadily narrowing users of
automobiles on the public highways to
rules of common sense, one OF the most
important Of which is that liability for
damages is not to be avoided by keep
ing strictly within the speed limit laid
down by law, as many have supposed
A legally fixed limit merely marks the
point to exceed which is an offense in
itself. But the courts are holding that
circumstances control liability for dam
ages. even though the speed be below
the legal limit.
Where children or the blind or the
deaf may be in the way. or in any sit
uations In which peril arises naturally
even below the law-hxed limit of speed,

forced by the courts. He has no diff
ferent or better rights on the highways
than other persons, and he is bound in

the equal rights OF others under all
circumstances. without regard to legal
regulations as to maximum speed and
like points.
Police court fines are of course 8
moderating influence, but damage judg-
ments running up into thousands of
dollars are more serious.

We are clearly of the opinion that the

in such strong terms. No doubt several
hundred OF them had no idea what they
were really voting upon, and without a
doubt several hundred OF them will vote
for men this fall without one-half the prin-
ciple which they gave Rosewater credit
with. To be sure he worked against the
amendment In 1890 and to a great majori-
ty OF thinking people his efforts were for
the best interests Of the state. He did
not work against II for the reason that he
wanted booze to use himself. For in our
