Washington, Sept. Stair price

such a step had no approval from

1.-THE purpose of this campaign Is
to reduce the cost of living, not to
increase it," the circular said. Fair
price committees should not at any
place or under any circumstances
increase prices. If in their judgment
O price Is too low 1t should not be

Dancing Dervish Bund in Action.

One of the Nebraska "bunds" which never
is entirely caln although it seems to rest oc-
casionally, is the Dancing Dervish bund. At
the moment it is feverishly violent, hoping to
repeat its great triumph of three years ago,
when it convinced lot Of people that che kept
us out of war;"
Supplied with brand new bugaboos, fresh
heads stretched on its tomtoms and all stops
removed from its pipes, its members are kick
ing up mighty dust but stirring very little
ground. Just as we were saved from war by
the devotion of this crew, so we are to be pre-
served from all sorts of calamties, chief of
which appears to be more or less uncertain
privilege of having something to say about how
our own affairs shall be managed.
How calamtous it will be if the United
States should be permitted to decide without
the consent of any other nation on whether
it will go to war, have protective tariff, sign
treaty, or do any of the things a regular ma
ton is expected to do for itself. How much
nicer it will be to take all these things to
Geneva or Irkutsk or some other faraway and
forgotten place, there to submit them to con-
clave of dignitaries gathered from the ends Of
the earth, and respectfully retire while they
deliberate.
Most horrible of all is the prospect that the
republicans will nominate for presdent-and
elect him-a man who is American and whose
ideasm does not embrace all the woes of the
world to the utter exclusion Of domestic ques-
tons. Think what a pail would fall over
Booriooboolaga, for example, when the news
came that Americans had determined to main
tain their national independence.
No wonder the Dancing Dervshes are again
turning somersaults, hiphaps and twstersl The
world must be spared such calamity! "He
kept us out of war;" and if we swallow it whole
we will never more have war.

High Honor for Pershing.

General Pershing, modest American soldier,
heard the thanks of his fellow Americans yes
terday. He stood in the great hall of the house
of representatives surrounded by members of
congress, representatives chosen by the people,
and heard from those who can speak with au-
thority from the plain people Of the United
States, words that seldom are given any man
to hear. These voiced the thanks of 100000
free Americans, couched in simple language, ex-
pressive of the deep gratitude of mighty ma
ton, mindful of its obligation to God and to
humanity, to the man who had been privileged
to lead its army victorious through tremen-
dous struggle for the right. John ]. Pershing
knows that only a just part of this is his, that
through him the congress speaks to every man
in the army, not only those of the A. E. F., but
to the millions that found their duty on this
side and served with accomplishing fidelity,
while their spirits chaed to share in the stirring
action on the other side. Pershing's honor is
therefore the higher, because it enfods that of
the nation. And the ceremony itself is impress
sively instructive. How mighty in its strength
is the American people, and how simple in its
dignity!

INJUSTICE TO THE DEAD.

Nothing the president has done or said less
becomes him than his remarks at San Fran
cisco anent the Shantung affair. He there de-
liberstely undertakes to shift responsibility for
the presence of Germany in China and the evils
that attend it onto President Mckinley and his
secretary of state, John Hay. Without exactly
distorting history, the president pursues a
practice in which he has frequently INDUCED Of
late, that of telling half the truth. He says:
And in the message of Mr.. Mckinley
about this matter he says that inasmuch as
the powers that had taken these territories
had agreed to keep the doors open for our
commerce, there was no reason why we
should object. Just so we could trade with
these stolen territories, we were willing to
let them be stolen.
more fragrant instance Of misapplicaton Of
the truth will not be found in all the presidents
enormous output of words. The historical fact
is that, although his foreign policy was per-
sistently and maliciously assailed by the demo-
Gratis under the leadership of Mr.. Bryan, Pres
ident Mckinley did insist, to the very verge Of
war with Germany and other European nations,
against the dismemberment of China. The
United States had been invited to share in the
spoil, just as we were lately invited by Baron
ShibusaWa on behalf OF japan to unite IN the
exploitation of the Celestial empire.
1t was because of the earnest protest of
the United States that the breaking up and d.
vision of the helpless nation was checked Rus
sias policy of duplcity and rapacity brought on
the war with Japan little later, but the Ger
man scheme was halted by the attitude of the
United States The open door" was then and
since has been referred to as the greatest of
American diplomatic triumphs. 1t would be
highly gratifying if we had come away from
Paris with as good showing.
Had the president stood as firmly in 1919
as John Hay did in 1889, the Shantung affair
would wear decidedly different look. At all
events he would not be required to cast slur
on dead predecessor in order to defend his
own surrender of great principle.

A Tenn pti,aq Prize
of tbe total Of sss,q ESQ 500 in internal rev

OF the total of ss,s,9,9s 500 in internal rev.
enue collected by the government for the fiscal
year ended June so. 1919, the major part, of
course, was contributed by the income and ex-
cess profits taxes, which yielded 2,5oo, 008 700.
But the old sources of federal revenue still
make respectable showing even in the mag
nihed scale of war taxation. Thus the revenue
from distilled spirits was $365,211 200 from fer
mented liquors SILL, 5000 and from tobacco
$206,003,000, or altogether $68o,053,So0 This
is approximately Is per cent, or nearly one-ffth
of the total internal revenue, and equivalent
to about one-fourth of that derived from in
come taxation.
Under prohibition these abundant streams
of revenue" from distilleries and breweres will
gush forth no more and the lack must be sup
piled by other forms of taxation. And seeing
the success the anti-liquor forces have had in
reducing government income as the price of
moral regulation, will not the $206,003,090 of
revenue from tobacco inspire the anti-nicotine
crusaders to equal efforts?
At most they cannot make the public treas
ury pay half as much for tobacco prohibition
as it had to pay for liquor prohibition. But
none the less it is tempting prize, dazzling

serve to quicken the movement to abolish

using all the methods Billy had
learned in his boy scout lessons.

national mood, general disposition Of
all the people to stamp out high prices by the
practice of economy and the determination to
increase production, will have its result.
1t is very human to indulge in the sporadic
outburst and by the force of hue and cry to re-
sent an intolerable condition. Often much good
results. But the good is likely to be only tenn
porary, because the general resentment per-
sists only until there is slight relief; then re-
lakes.
To gain continued, permanent relief it is
necessary that this mood of resentment be per-
manent, and that resentment be not expressed
merely in anger and impotent raging, but in
some specific contribution, such as economy
and productiveness.
We have seen by undisputed figures that
the tendency is downward. 1t can be kept
downward. until reasonable point is reached,
by the maintenance of national mood.-Chi-

School Boards Building Program.

The Omaha Board of Education has set be-
fore the people the most ambitious program it
has ever adopted. A blanket appropriation Of
$5,000,000 is asked to cover the expense Of
erecting buildings that are deemed Immediately
necessary or which may be required by antci-
pated growth of the schools. Discussion of this
program is invited, and may be expected The
amount of money involved is considerable the
number and character of the buildings to be
erected is unusual and the general aspect of the
proposal is such as should excite intelligent pub
lie debate. Property owners as we'll as school
patrons are deeply interested in the manage
ment and maintenance of the city schools, and
it is to them the Board of Education now
makes its appeal. 1t will be for them to de-
termine if the appropriation for continuing
program is to be made. The question of the
bond issue will be submitted at an election
called for November 4, which does not give
over-much time for elaboration.

RecedinQ Prices

If we fix our gaze on strong light for
time and then suddenly avert it we continue to
be dazzled, even though the light is no longer
there. If we apply this figure to the. scale of
food prices shall find that it is pertinent. For
which reason we advise our readers to make
frequent comparisons of prices, lest when prices
decrease they continue to be confused by the
illusion that they still are high
We offer this tabulaton in the hope that an
easier feeling may result among those whose
gaze has been fixed so long on intolerable
prices:
