Revolt of Public Sentiment

The switch of the Missouri democratic
state committee on the subject of the league Of
nations only confirms what those who have
observed public sentiment in the middle west
have anticipated. Public sentiment toward the
league of nations has been making rapid
change within the past few weeks
Two months ago, or even a month ago. en-
open fight on the league of nations could not
even have been introduced in a meeting of the
democratic committee, not to mention the
success of such a fight. But when the COM
mittee met here Tuesday the leader of the Reed
forces not only attacked the league, but made
it plain that the lineup for the two candidates
for secretary of the committee was a clear cut
issue between those who favored the league
and those who opposed it. The opposing can
didate was elected
1t may surprise the statesmen in Washing
ton that such fight could be made success
fully in democratic committee, but it is not
surprising to those who have studied public
sentiment The people changing their
opinion on the league.
The beautiful rhetoric with which the
league has been clothed is losing its power
in the face of the awakened Americanism
which is Analysing the meaning of the league
pact in its reality. The peace of the world.
even with the league, is a doubtful condition.
But the peace of America is involved forever
in the leagues formation. Real Americans are
hestating about swapping the peace of America
for an experiment in world peace.-Kansas City

Come Easy, Go Easy

James J. Hill, discussing the mild form OF
high cost of living that worried people 10
years ago. said the trouble was really the cost
of high living. He mostly right, too. Now
we have the genuine article with us, but it is
common knowledge that It is also closely as
ISOLATED with the cost of high living. Accom-
panying the wall against high prices that comes
from all parts of the world comes also the
general comment of observers that people are
possessed with a desire to spend riotousy. In
Paris, in London, in Berlin, in New York and
in Oshkosh they are spending now as furiously
as they fought or worked in war time. The
money of the times is cheap, but it comes cas-
lily, and there is long period of painful stint
ing to be made up.
There is little doubt that the people are
spending their Liberty bonds. The world has
gone on spree that is manifestng itself in
many ways, of which lavish expenditure is
but one The worst of it is that the cost of
high living increases the high cost of living.
When spenders are free and easy traders make
prices with a facile pencil Those who part
lightly with their easy money make hard buy
ing for those who must part sparlngly with
their limited funds. He who spends on lux
uries without accounting causes himself to pay
more for necessaries. To all other mutations
we now add the imitation of money made cheap
by holding it Observation-Disclosures Post.

End This Intolerable Foolishness.

A butcher has been fined S. in police court
for violating ridiculous city ordinance forbid
ding such places to be open on Sunday.
He had succumbed to the importantly of
200 customers, who asked to be permitted to
keep their Sunday supply of edibles in his ice
box The need for this is that another foolish
city ordinance forbds the delivery of ice on
Sunday and these people have no means of
storing a supply sufficient to last from Satur-
day until Monday.
While the honorable city commissioners are
looking around for way to emeliorate condi-
tons of life in Omaha, here is a chance right
at hand. Let the ordinances that forbid the
sale of foods and ice on Sunday be repealed.
Give the people chance.
If the strict Sabbatarans would care for
authority for the sale of food on Sunday, let
them read the opening verses of the sixth chap
ter of the gospel according to St. Luke.
At any rate, while we are trying to keep the
first day of the week holy, let us not make it
one of terror to the sick, the needy and those
who must sustain life under circumstances that
prevent their having all the comforts and con-
veniences money can provide.

Nebraska in the House.

On Tuesday fast Nebraska held the stage in
the house of representatives at Washington. A
pitched battle had been staged over the report
Of the committee dealing with the disposal Of
army surplus food stocks The democrats des-
perately lined up in defense of the secretary of
war; and sought by every means known to
skilled politicians and parlamentarans to turn
aside the blow that fell. On the republican
side Reavis of the First and Jeffers of the Sec
ond Nebraska district handled the big guns and
drove their shots straight to the center of the
democratic position, demoiisring it entirely.
Reavis made very clear the fact that the War
department had undertaken to dispose of the
surplus army supplies abroad for the purpose
OF holding up prices in America. This includes
not only food but clothing When sales in other
countries did not materialize, an effort was
made to resell to manufacturers and packers.
When the Bakeries had been smoked out on
this by the committee, the order of July II,
permitting sales to municipalities, was issued.
And it was shown that only few of the cities
of the United States were in position to take
advantage of this, most of them being pro-
hibited by their charters from engaging in
such business.
Jefferis exposed the rotten deal in connec-
ton with the salmon under which millions
of cans of last seasons pack were to be con-
demned as unfit for consumption and returned
to the packers.
Following this bombardment, the house
adopted the resolution directing the secretary
of war to place on sale the army surplus food
1t has been long time since Nebraskans were
as prominently to the fore as in this great fight
for the people against the combination of the
War department and the big supply dealers.

Is A STRIKE THE REMEDYs

Railroad men again threaten to tie up the
transportation lines OF the country by going on
general strike in support of demands for re-
lief in the form of higher pay. Have they we'll
considered what is involved in this?
Transportation is basic industry, and the
cessation of its steady operations means the
disturbance of all other industries.
One cause of high prices is an excessive de-
mand for all sorts of goods. Normal conditions
have not yet been restored, and the factories of
the country are not all engaged on peace time
production. Until this is brought about, the
output will be less than the request
1t is true that much of the complaint against
high prices rests on the established foundation
of illigitinate profit taking. This has been
induced and intensified by the speculative &C
tivities of food and other similar gamblers.
In order to get the world back to basis of
stability, production to the utmost of our COM
bined capacity is needed. 1t is not the dis
tribution but the creation of wealth that will
cure the existing evil.
If these propositions are true, and we be-
lieve they are how can an interruption of the
orderly processes of production assist in reliev-
ing condition in which all share alike? If the
railroad men succeed in stopping all business,
will they not aggravate rather than lessen the
difficulty?
The answer to these questions must be af-
frmative. Any strike now by any group Of
men, no matter in what industry, contributes to
the maintenance of the present high price level,
for just so far as such action tends to check
production, just that far is the supply lowered
while the demand is increased instead of dimin-
ished by the voluntary or enforced idleness of
any number of producers.
Let the railroad men, who are thretening
to throw wrench into the machinery that was
just beginning to move with some show Of
effective speed, consider what effect their pro-
posed action will have on all the world, and
maybe they will change their minds
