Nebraska on a New Era.

Nebraska begins new era today having en-
tered upon existence as "dry" state. Whether
its experience will vary greatly from that OF other
states in which prohibition has been enacted is
to be determined. So far as the constitutional
amendment is interpreted and the law made to
give it force is concerned prohibition is intended
only to Danish the open saloon. No liquor capa.
bic of being used as a beverage which contains
more than one-half Of per cent Of alcohol may
be openly sold or given away in, the state On
the other hand, such as desire it and are in pos
session Of supply may personally indulge as
fancy dictates, Reliance is placed on the federal
law to limit the source of supply after July /.
The governor is personally charged under the
law with its enforcement and has already an
nounced his intention to exercise this function to
its fullest extent. He has been given ample au-
thority and liberal appropriation and the cit-
zens will look to him to make good on his pro-
LESSONS. County and city officials have been
warned of their share in the work and have given
pledges of willingness to cooperate with the
governor in his undertaking
1t will be too much, perhaps, to expect that
the law will be given quiet and unquestoning ODE
dience In every community will be found few
who are not willing to submit to the restrictions
placed on their personal habits and some who
will defy the law in efforts to provide the means
for others to indulge in surrepttious "nps." This
almost assures in advance that Nebraska will have
to deal with illicit vendors Of ntoxicants, just as
have other states where prohibition has been
voted
Law-abidng citizens will do much to help
maintain order through quiet observance OF the

Gsue a 1.-THE to Freedom
.Philsdelphis Ledger.

Chairman Gary says that the United States
Steel corporation will this year pay $6s,000000 in
taxes. That represents an increase over last year
Of more than 200 per cent. The taxes, may even
be higher than that as Mr.. Gary does not include
anything embraced in the pending bills before
congress. That $65000000 is terrific tax is
shown by the fact that it represents fully $l2 for
every share Of the corporations common stock
or nearly one-ninth OF the total value of every
share Here is concrete symptom OF what war
brings to us. 1t Is an index OF what other COM
panies and all business must pay. But business
will pay its share and pay It cheerfully, provided
it Is asked only to pay its share and not all.
Business In general is earning, 1t Is true more
money than it ever earned before, but so are mil
lions OF individuals. The American farmers are
reaping a bigger harvest OF dollars than in any
past period and for the same reason that the
steel makers are gathering in their unprecedented
profits Hence system of taxation, which should
touch only one class and exonerate other classes
relatively as prosperous would be unwise, unfair,
unpatriotic and un-American.
This Is war for our whole common country,
and for human liberty everywhere. To pay for
that war is also common and not class duty.
While 1t is right that the steel makers and other
producers who are reapng from the war rionu-
mental profits should give over to the government
a large share OF such bnttle-won profit, II Is also
right that congress should make its new tax plans
al-embracing, nonpartisan, fonsectional and 100
per cent fair

Socialists No. for Separate Peace.

Statements that the international socialist bu-
reau will not work for separate peace in the world
war may be taken at their face value. Thoughtful
socialists realize as keenly as do others the po-
litical need for general adjustment Of world re-
lations before any approach may be made to per-
manent peace In the coming conference at
Stockholm the delegates will naturally give their
time to consideration Of what may be done to end
the fighting but the meeting will not be devoted
to the idea Of establishing order piecemeal. Ger
man radicals have agitated for separate peace
with Russia, but Dutch, Swedish, Swiss Belgian,
Danish and other leaders realize that such step
would be playing into the hands Of the Prussian
war machine and will not give it adherence, Con-
sentative socialists in Germany know that their
future rests on the overthrow Of the junker party
and that this cannot be accomplished short Of its
defeat in battle. Therefore the idea Of separate
peace is. not likely to secure endorsement at
Stockholm.

Hogan,s Advice to the Farmers.

AS sane view OF the present and future OF
agriculture in the west as has been given publicity
Is that expressed by D. P Hogan, president Of
the Omaha Federal Land bank. Mr. Hogan places
full stress on the point that the present mobiliza
ton for farm work means good for the future.
IF this mobilization campaign teaches the mid
die west how to permanently enlarge Its produc-
ing capacity it will have been worth the effort"
says Mr.. Hogan, and he touches the spot ex-
actly. 1t is as certain as anything can be that
for many seasons to come steady demand will
exist for all the farmer can produce and to meet
this demand utmost endeayor should be put forth.
Mr., Hogan points out succinctly how the federal
land bank can assist the farmer in financing his
operations and that the farmers themselves are
to be the real managers of the bank. His ad-
vice as to meeting the labor situation also is
good. The statement Is worthy careful study

Food Control for the United States.

Z Next to organizing the army the most impor-
tant item in the universal service program has to
do with food Preliminary to any action by con-
gress in dealing with this factor Of the problem,
farmers and others have been wisely admonished
as to the imperative necessity not only Of in
creased production, but Of greater care In the
preservation and use of foodstufs, to the end
that waste be reduced to minimum. Following
this the more important and practical matter Of
co-ordnating supply and consumption through
efficiency in distribution is to be taken up.
Bills introduced in congress have this in view
and on their lgorking out will depend the solu-
ton. Details are lacking, but the general scope
Of the measures as outlined suggests that efforts
will be made to eliminate much Of the duplicated
shipment and handling OF foods in bulk, as we'll
to more closely regulate the distribution Of sup
plies Of all kinds down through the retail chan
nels, until the consumer finally is reached. Ex-
perience OF the last winter has justified this course
While some OF the staple foods were not present
in over-supply, no real shortage was noted at any
time, but through manipulation artificial strin-
gency was created and huge fortunes were reaped
as a result by reason OF the extortion practiced.
Spectators have had their harvest at the ex-
pense Of the public, but wise laws may now be
enacted by congress which will do away with
any likelihood Of such another opportunity for
gamblers in foodstuffs. Business on legitimate
basis will not suffer because Of proper control
and the INSCRIPTIONS may be wiped out II the
laws are well framed and correctly administered

Saw a farm house, stained by weather. and
he knew the door was wide.
And he knew that love was waiting just
across the sill inside;
And he murmured softly, Mother" and
his heart within him cried.
And the girl remembered dimly in the land
of long ago,
How she kneit beside her window and had
watched the sunset glow
Out across the golden cornfelds-when her
heart was free from sin,
When she had not known the city with lis
fever and its din
And her tears were near the surface as she

"What Does Ireland Want?"

Mr.. j. ]. Fitzgerald of the Grain

by Shane Leslie, NJ. A., published in

which is too lengthy to be reproduced
entire, but from which these para
graphs are taken:
This is an exceedingly difficult
question, because neither Ireland nor
her friends nor her enemies can
agree. even among themselves, what
she wants for herself or what they
want for her.
THE trouble is that only extrem-
lists can make themselves heard in
Ireland. The majority are not asking
for the impossible Ireland does not
wish to hitch her wagon to the moon.
Her people are not clamoring for re-
yenge or republics. Vengeance any,
how belongeth to the Lord and repub-
lies are for countries like Russia and
France. which have discovered the art
of putting up successful revolutions
The world we live in is one which be-
lieves more in success than in princi-
Piles. Ireland is country which has
staked so much for principle that she
has failed--of success A humdrum,
practical, cooperative. unromantic
home administration is what ireland
needs, whatever her most impulsive
and gifted sons have demanded and
continue to demand.
What Ireland wants is fusion
government, in which agrarians, gen.
try, Sim Fem, FISHERMEN and other
elements can be represented to the
exclusion of the fanatic Ireland does
not favor the triumph of any particu-
lar partisanship, but sine does want

Alcohol For Powder.

insanity" recommends prohibition in
the interest of the conservation of food
and of solving the problem of the
high cost Of living. because liquors are
made from grain.
| wonder il he is also opposed to
the use Of grain and other foodstuffs
for the manufacture of alcohol to be
used In producing smokeless powder
for the entente allies. There were ex-
ported 100000 gallons of alcohol
during February last for that purpose,
besides some 100000 gallons more
used for making powder in this, coun-
try, most of which, of course, was eX-
ported.
Now it takes twenty bushels of grain
and half ton of coal to make a bar
rel of alcohol, and | understand that
it takes about barrel Of alcohol to
make the powder required for one shot
of one of the big guns, and who knows
how many hundreds Of thousands of
people have been killed with, the
powder thus produced from the alco-
hol distilled from our grain.
Why not stop the use of grain for
such purposes. thus making it avail
able for food?, One can readily see
what an important factor the enormous
consumption Of corn for such pur-
poses has been in raising the price
of grain to the present unprecedented
high price.
Thousands and thousands Of these
good prohibitionists who last fall were
"hollering" their heads off for prohi-
bition are now scrambling to lay in a
supply of liquor for the coming drouth.
If they would stop using liquors none
would have to be manufactured and
no grain would be required therefor.

Sugar IN the Warehouse

Peru Pointer: Spectators are holding lS,-
100000 pounds OF sugar in Omaha, carload of
of course other cities all over the country have
SPECTATORS who are just as bad. In time OF war,
why isn't this treason, and why shouldn't it be
dealt with in the same manner as giving help to
the enemy in any other ways
Nelson Gazette: An investigation brought on
by an Omaha newspaper disclosed the fact that
100000 pounds Of sugar IS being held In that
city for speculative purposes. This proposed
shortage of sugar has brought on panic among
the consumers and many families have on hand a
sack or two, when ordinarily they would have
only few pounds. Many merchants In the small
towns have been unable to supply the demand
and as result many thousand sacks Of the table
necessity have been shipped in from mail order
houses, The spectators blame the people for
creating this panic and incidentally bringing up
the price.
Kenesaw Progress: An Omaha assessor has
uncovered 100000 pounds Of sugar stored in
Omaha warehouses, and Omaha merchants are
able to supply their customers in only limited
quantities. We are not an advocate Of mob law,
but just the same those Omaha sugar spectators
would be getting just about what is coming to
them il a Justly enraged populace would take
charge of that surplus of sugar and allow the
price boosters only a reasonable profit on the
deal on which they expect to make rich haul.
Albion News; While the price of sugar is
soaring because 1t is claimed there is shortage,
and retailers are unable to buy only in email lots
II has been discovered that there are 100000
pounds stored in Omaha warehouses. II every
wholesale center is equally supplied, the short

bound to bring governmental control of food

pure bunk and absolutely without justification.
York Republican: There are 100000 pounds
of sugar in storage in Omaha, according to The
Bee. Yet the dealers have boosted the price to
consumers to 10 cents, raise Of cents pound,
onthe plea that there was no sugar to be had. In
cases like that it might be good plan to seize
the commodity, whatever it might be, and sell it

ket on the pretense of shortage, while the mar
ket has been forced up from to 10 cents per
pound. Further than that It is still being held
with view of squeezing still more blood-money
out OF the helpless and hungry consumer, We
have no doubt that il this matter was investigated

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else ah>to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.- Advertisement.

been fought by volunteers Take the
war with Mexico. Three-fourths of

failure? Who fought the Spanish
