Substitutes and High Cost Of Living.

Delegates to the district convention of
womens clubs in Omaha put in the time Of one
session considering the high cost Of living. As
the purchasing agents for the homes, the women
ought to know the situation in all its details Sug-
gestions from some Of the speakers, however,
support the suspicion that some Of the housewives
are not altogether posted on their duties. They
have, however, opportunity to enforce any reas-
enable advance, and, whether responsible or not,
must exercise direct influence on the cost of liv-
ing. One speaker called attention to the fact that
satisfactory substitutes may be had for any of
the expensive articles Of diet or wear, and sug-
gested closer buying as possible remedy.
This phase Of the cost Of living was long ago
forced on the wives Of the wage-earners by cir
cumstances they could not alter, and the well-to-
do may yet be compelled to practice some of the
economies. Retail merchants are serving the pub
lie, rather than encouraging extravaganza. The
whole problem finally Is one Of properly ADJUST
ing purchasing power. Ambition to buy should
be INDUCED with due regard to ability to pay.

Saint Patrick.

Let US turn for moment from the spectacle
Of topping thrones, contending armies and bick-
erng railroad men to contemplate the picture OF
figure that looms large through many centuries.
ST. Patrick, full of the love Of his felowman, car
rying message Of love and better living to the
pagans, is the best known saint in all the calen-
dar. He did not earn the martyrs crown by de-
hance Of Roman despot; he filled no volumes
Of theological speculations, political dsquisitons
or philosophical CONCENTRATIONS. He did teach
men how to do better and by his own life gave
emphasis to the example Of the teacher whose
precepts he expounded. II doesn't so much mat
ter where he was born, nor is more than curiosity
served by knowing Of his adventures prior to his
taking UP his missionary career nor does it
greatly matter at what place he finally laid down
his life. He expounded gospel of love and
service he led men to turn their faces to the light
and thus enshrined his memory in the hearts Of
loving millions, an immortality more secure than
any other mortality can offer. All who do h,no'
to Saint Patrick today pay tribute to great man.

Nebraska Grain Shipments.

Official reports just made public indicate that
Nebraska grain shippers did not suffer so severely
from car shortage as might have appeared from
the criticism to which the railroads were sub
jectcd. The State Railway commission makes the
statement that the carriers actually have moved
considerably more than normal volume OF grain
from Nebraska" within the last eight months.
The actual number Of cars moved reported for
1916 is greater than for either Of the two preced-
ing years. The March crop report estimated
the wheat on farms in Nebraska at 100000
bushels as against 23.436,000 year ago. and for
corn, 100000 bushels, compared with 87,330,OoO
at this time in 1916.
This means that the greater part of the Ne
braska crop has gone to market, and it is further
stated that less corn than usual was consumed on
the feed lots OF the state, high prices inducing the
farmers to sell 1t rather than feed stock. The
plethora Of money in the banks Of the state is
further evidence that the farmer has been getting
his crops to market and receiving very good re-
turns. This is Of no particular moment at this
time, except to show that the railroads of the
state really did do their part, even II il was not
always possible to give an anxious shipper the
car just when he made demand for It.

An Echo Of Dregtus

The death OF Fernand Labor, the eloquent
counsel for Captain Alfred Dreyfus, recalls
chapter in European history which at the time Of
leans
The elaborate testimony Of plots and counter
plots, Of army intrigues and Of diplomatic trick
cry seemed to be more akin to the fantasies OF
Eugene Sue or the melodrama OF Sardou than to
he realities of international life. The suggestion
Of an Infamous subterrancan life involving minis
tiers and generals and cabinet members was quite
incredible to those reared in the simpler at
mosphere of the United States.
But, alas! the war with ito cabals and conspir-
aces with its systematic plotting and its Machia-
vellian planning has destroyed our innocent sim
plicity. The case Of the French captain has been
succeeded By. so many others in which the injury
or even the dismemberment Of the United States
was the object sought by treacherous visitors
that the Dreyfus case no longer amazes Conspir-
acy fabricated or actual, is too common
So i Is that Fcrnand Laboris great case, which
brief while ago. brought him to international
prominence, has faded into the dulncss of an
episode frequently repeated. The imaginings OF
the iictionists Of yesterday are the humble real
Lies Of today

Will the PEOPLE Rule in Russia?

The revolt in Russia does not mean the end
OF the Romanof dynasty. In its utmost signh-
canoe, it may not be interpreted as final triumph
for pure democracy. 1t does mean, however, that
having so emphatically asserted their rights to
a share in the government, the people of Russia
will have more to say about the methods and
management Of their government. Knowing that
what has happened may easily be repeated, the
rulers Of Russia must hereafter reckon with the
masses OF their subjects.
The conditions Of oppression that moved so
docie race as the Russian to revolt against the
czar head Of the church as we'll as Of the state, can
scarcely be appreciated in this country. What
success has attended the movement so far must
be at least in part ascribed to the purblndness Of
the reactionaries in power, and their inability
either to understand the portents or to estimate
the strength Of their opponents. The liberal ele-
ment chose well its hour, and with the aid Of a
disgruntled faction of the aristocracy has gone
far in the direction of liberalizing the national
life. The deposed car was weakng, suspected
and distrusted alike by his allies and his people.
He had ample warning, the removal of Gregory
Rasputin being direct notice to him of what was
brewing but he utterly failed to grasp it.
Giving due weight to the optimistic views Of
Prof. Milukoff, the new foreign minister, the af-
fair must be regarded for the present not so much
triumph for democracy as well-tmed stroke
by clever intriguers. The Muscovite throne has
changed hands on other occasions as result Of
palace revolts, and this bears some resemblance
to such movement
Time will be required to determine the full
extent and effect of the revolution and to dis
close whether the people will really rule in Rus
STA. The Allies will put the best possible face on
the matter and really have cause for rejoicing in
the recall of Grand Duke Nicholas, Russia's
strongest soldier, from his virtual exile, to resume
command of the armies in the west Only the
end Of the war and the subsequent readjustment
will furnish the answer to our question.
