be authentically stated that this price

especially difficult from any angle,
either from the stand point of the
packer or the consumer, to establish

Meetings have been held at Blackb'rd

have been established, and to go so far

grown at this price. This opinion was

Market and Post Roads.

The National Grange has gone on record as
favoring campaign by the federal government
for the construction of highways-not boule-
wards, but market and post roads This is, and
has been, the great need for the United States
for generations. One of the most remarkable
facts of our national life is that so little real at
tention has been given the subject of highways
Much talk has been had and the many compu-
tations made as to the amount of money annu-
ally wasted in patching up bad roads and the
sums that might be saved by constructing and
maintaining good ones, but very little has been
done in practical way towards attaining re-
suits. The present federal law, appropriating
large fund to be apportioned between the states,
did not comprehend definite program. 1t left
all detals,to state determination, with result
that patchwork of road building has followed.
What should be done is to provide the central
authority that will prescribe what sort of roads
are to be built and where they are to be located,
to the end that all money expended be so put
outythat in time the entire country will be COM
pretended in the scheme. And 'let us have
highways for service and not for mere pleasure

AUTocRAcY AND sELF.pIscIpLINE

Disorder and confusion now reigning in CEN
trail Europe is but the natural outcome of con-
ditions that have prevailed there for generations
1t is encouraging to notice that the peoples who
had longest rebelled against the despotic con-
troll of hereditary monarchs are the ones who
are most readily adapting themselves to the
new order. Those who had been submissive to
the will of the higher authority, and allowed
themselves to be directed in all their ways, find
much difficulty when suddenly called upon to
think and act for themselves. This contrast
shows up one of the brightest features of de-
mocracy. 1t may not be possible in free gov
eminent to attain the top degree of efficiency
in material things, but the independence of
thought permitted engenders such self-reliance
in action as readily asserts itself when emer-
gency arises and prevents the disaster that has
overwhelmed Russia and now threatens Ger
many. In the latter country we see an impress
sive example Of the effect of absolutism Sud-
denly left to their own devices, the previously
we'll disciplined masses seems helpless and may
fall into social chaos, even as did those of the
czar's empire when the restraint of authority
was removed. Capacity for self-government
does not spring up in moment, fact the Ger
mans are proving to the world

Lloyd George and Ireland.

One notable utterance is contained in Lloyd
Georges announcement of his campaign pro-
gram. This is to the effect that Ireland will not
be separated from the United Kingdom, and
that there will be no coercion for Ulster Here
is a direct challenge to the Sim Fein, to the
Irish nationalists, and in some degree to the
Ulstermen. 1t is also noticed that the Irish must
in some manner compose their differences and
accept reasonable adjustment of home affairs
or. the government will do it for them, in the
event of the present premier being returned to
power. The appeal is made to English voters,
however, for it is certain that any form of con-
cession to the recalcitrant Irish would gain
nothing of substantial support for Lloyd George
in his present contest. His astuteness is shown,
however, in thus forestalling his home opposi-
ton and forcing it to adopt his views or to take
up program that likely will cost it many votes
in England, Scotland and Wales, where con-
scripton was not resisted AS practical poll
tician this great Welshman has lost nothing
because OF the war.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-11-24

Official figures are now presented telling with
approximate exactness the cost of the war to
the principal nations that enlisted to stamp out
the Hun menace to civilization.
According to statement made in the House
of Commons British casualties in all theaters
of conflict totaled 3,049991, of which the killed
and missing included 1886 officers and 62O,S29
men. The British wounded aggregate over
100000
For the French and Belgians, the casualties
total 2,7l9,652 in which the death loss is 32,769
up lS33345.
The Italian casualty figures and those of the
other lesser nations among the Allies are not
yet available.
For the United States, while the casualty
lists still coming in. reliable estimates indi-
cate the total will be not less than 100000, with
about one-hfth killed in battle or dead from
wounds or other causes.
What the war cost in life and limb has been
to Germany and Austria and Turkey and Bull
garia, and to Russia and the Balkan states be-
fore and after they dropped out will be devel-
oped soon and will probably about equal the
figures for Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy
and the United States.
The grand total of the wars casualties cam
not be less than 100000 and is more likely
to be nearer 100000, with the dead mounting
to more than one-fourth OF the number.
Of this awful toll the burden falling to US is
by comparison small-the sacrifice, however, is
far too great to have been made in vain The
world will have to be much better place to live
in from now on to compensate for the price

Slow Homecoming

How many months may elapse before the
signing of peace no one can foretell. In the
meantime it Is obvious the United States will
maintain a large army on war basis and de-
mobilization will await events.
Today there are over 100000 American
troops in France. If the war were over with
the granting of an armistice to Germany if a
treaty of peace had been concluded it would
require long time to bring home the expedi-
tionary forces and to return to their homes the
men now in camps in this country About
100000 are under arms in the military and
naval service. The draft is still in operation
and large numbers of men are constantly being
sent to the camps.
Though hostties cease, the work of the
American army in Europe will be far from fin
ished. 1t must help to stand guard over Ger
many during the peace negotiations. 1t may
be called on for other duties in the enforcement
OF peace terms. Only slowly in the end, ship
load by shipload, will the Americans come back
to their own country, and the disbanding of so
period. The hasty opinion that the men
in uniform will soon be released to resume their
old civilian occupations should be discouraged
If the whole future were clear it would be an
elaborate and tedious process. AS it is, some
part of the army will probably be required to
help in the first reconstruction of the war
ravaged countries of Europe and their readjust-
ment to changed conditions. That the govern
ment has made preparations to afford the men
in service special educational facilities and to
provide them opportunities to equip themselves
better for their labors in the future has been
made known 1t will not be time lost if they
remain in the army, although hostties cease

Kearney Hub: The famine prices
existing In the United States do not
indicate an actual famine. Far from
it. Some of the scarcity Is actual,
but much of il is artificial, and
whether one or the other it is made
the pretext for the famine prices
that are ubiquitous to the verge of
'criminality.
Harrington Herald: Federal Ad-
ministrator Wattles says that. il the
retail dealers will pool their pur-
chases Of potatoes, it will consider
ably reduce the cost to the consumer.
This may be, but. as far as our OBJ
servation goes, the cost to the con-
sumner is an economic problem which
does not cause the average retail
dealer a great deal of anxiety.
Grand Island Independent: There
will be a strong disposition in con-
gress to place every possible bit Of

common and popular plan by which
wealth escapes its share of the bur-
den. Watch your congressman and

Storyette of the Day.

On the night of the election the
Associated Press sent out dis
patch from Washington saying no
statement would be forthcoming
from the White House that even
ing. Many evenings have passed
since then. and still no statement
has come.
All of which has called out one
of the best stories heard in Wash
ington for a long, long time. 1t is
told by a congressman from the
northwest-a member of the pres
ident's own party-whose name
therefore must be withheld, both
for personal and political reasons.
The story concerns Swedish
man and woman, who had been
sweethearts for a year or more. One
Sunday afternoon the Swedish
swain took his sweetheart for
buggy ride. For an hour or more
they logged along without a word
being spoken on either side. At
last the silence was broken.
Helga Will you marry me! sud-
denly blurted the man.

Spouse.
Again the two rode along in ST.

elapsed when Helga took the con-
versational initiative.
