War and Wool Prices.

Flockmasters OF the west are just now send
ing TO market their seasons wool clip, and are
receiving for nNprices higher than have been
paid in many years. This fact has stirred some
OF our democratic friends to claim for the I'm
derwood tariff the credit OF bringing about tho
condition, and to give much praise to democratic
statesmen who could 80 clearly foresee the ef-
feet Of removing the protective duty from the
staple,
AS matter OF fact, the advance in the price
OF wool is due to state Of affairs the democrats
could not possibly have had in mind when they
were enacting the wool schedule OF the Under
wood law. The war in Europe has brought
about the conditions which have added so
greatly to the profits OF the sheep owners
Armies in the field are calling for more and be.-
ter garments OF wool than the men who compose
them would have possibly used in time Of peace
Prices have advanced wooden goods OF all
kinds and mills are running overtime to produce
the articles required The worlds supply of
wool has not enough to meet the demand, and
II would have been remarkable. indeed, ~ wool
prices in America had not advanced. Just as did
the prizes of wheat. No credit Is due to the
democrats or their tariff law for the extra
money the farmers and stock raisers OF America
are now getting for their products.

DCutting Out the love stuff.o

Leaders OF the Young women's Christian
association work, in session assembled have
made up their minds to substitute character
building" for romance" in literature for
women. This Is a noble purpose, and is worthy
the serious attention It has been given by this
band OF earnest workers. To mold woman's
mind into sturdier mood is the aim, II the Ian
guage OF the resolution be understood, that she
may occupy herself with other things than those
that have TO do with marriage and giving in
marriage However. II is altogether likely that
for some time TO come the best sellers viii
still continue 10 embelilsh the tale of faithful
hearts.
More people are concerned to see the sorely-
tried couple OF romantic tale get married and
live happily ever after than to see one or the
other develop into a "high-brcw" and spend tho
rest of life in showing how good It is to cultivate
character. This is a natural impulse and while
here and there comes the super-man or super
woman 20 whom the fourth dimension is of more
Importance than home and hearthstone the

Confidence in Omaha.

The very best part OF our city election is the
proof IL affords Of the confidence Of our own
people IN the future OF Omaha This stands out
in the overwhelming approval of the two pro-
posed bond issues one for $4,000 TO purchase
the Auditorium, and the other for $1,000, 900 TO
build new school buildings. True, the bonds
will constitute a mortgage on the property Of
the city. and all its inhabitants. but Il is mort
gage voluntarily assumed with the certainty
that it's burden will grow lighter year by year.
and that we will be quite able TO lift It when
matured II we want to-
II is less than q year ago that the School
board reluctantly withdrew a proposed bond
proposition OF $4,000 becauae OF the discour-
aging outlook. Today a one-milllon- dollar bond
issue is voted by more than three to one without
the slightest hesitation. The word. conf
dence," carries the complete explanation, and as
confidence begets confidence, We may count Oh
private enterprise being stimulated all along the
line with beneficent results for the whole com
munity. More than that, confidence manifested
by Omaha people in omaha's future cannot fail
TO inspire the confidence OF outsiders. and at
tract investors and newcomers who prefer to
identify themselves with people possessing
pluck, push and self-reiance.
