The change in the location of the sub station of the post office takes effect today (Saturday) and in the future it will be located at the Bay State Drug Store in the Opera House block, in charge of H. N Bronson, the manager of the store. This announce ment was made Friday by Postmaster John O'Rourke. The change was made necessary because the management of tEe City Drug Store did not care to continue the contract with the gov ernment, the station having been To- cated at that store since it was open ed up, five or six years ago.

Musterole Works Easier, Quicker
 and Without the Blister

There's no sense in mixing 3 mess of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a little clean, white Musteroie.
 Musterole is made of pure oil of nus- tard and other helpful ingredients, con-. bined in the form of the present white ointment. It takes the place of cut-of- date mustard plasters, and will not blister.
 Musterole usually gives prompt relief from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, head ache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or Joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil. plains, frosted feet, colds of the chest Git often prevents pneumonia.

End of a Solemn Farce.

The inquiry into rent-prohteering by the
city council proved farce, as might have been
expected That body at best could only exert
a moral influence in the controversy, for it
has no judicial power whatever in such cases.
Such hearings as were had before it amounted
only to an exchange of heated compliments be-
tween the parties affordng perhaps little op-
portunity for some of the aggrieved tenants
to ease their minds, while the landlords stub
bornly stood their ground. Other public mat
tiers that do come entirely within the scope
of the city councils authority and powers have
been pushed to one side by this. If the COM
missoners will get down to business on the sew
eral issues of city government; and allow the
courts to look after cases that only can be
settled there, much better results will very
likely follow

cLos1Nc UP ON THE TREATY.

Beginning with tomorrow, consideration OF
the Versailles treaty in all its aspects will enter
on what may be considered its closing phase.
The matter still is in the hands of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, where amendments
are being considered. No date has been set fol-.
its being reported to the senate, but forecasts
indicate that it will not be long withheld, and
may be sent in within the month. Senator'S are
making their arguments on the main question
from day to day. indicating what is likely to
be their attitude when the vote is taken. If
this may be accepted as a safe guide, the con-
clusion is warranted that the treaty will not be
ratified as presented. Not alone will specific
reservations be made as to the terms of the
covenant, but textual amendments may be in
sisted upon The committee already has
adopted one with reference to the Shantung
provision, and others are proposed When the
final vote will come none can tell, but day
by day it is becoming clearer that the terms
of the treaty are not such as best serve Ameri-
can interests, and the effort to safeguard the
United States from unwise pledges is getting
more support. Our people are willing to ac-
cept any responsibility that has come to US
through the war, but do not feel called upon to
sacrifice everything with no prospect of relief
from that condition as years go on. The home
land is not yet surrendered to the "interna-
tional" movement

The German Cat Comes Back

A London Minneapolis Tribune cor
RESPONDENT in Berlin cables that a large emf
grafton from Germany is in prospect and that
the government of that country, tar from being
averse to such movement, smiles upon 1t as
rood thing economically for those who remain
at home. The reason assigned for this ottleial
attitude is that the government does not feel
at all confident that the industrial and agricul-
tural channels of Germany will be expansive
enough for at least some years to come to take
care of the home population.
The Germans themselves, through their old
imperialistic junkeristic government, are re-
sponsible primarily for the predicament they
now find themselves in Having made offensive
war their major business, the industrial re-
sources of the country were bent out OF all
normal order to produce the tools of war.
Agricultural lands were neglected in some
quarters and over-worked or under-fertilized
in others, with the result that agriculture is in
bad way.
Another embarrassment the Germans have
brought upon themselves is that by their
methods of warfare they have made their ma
tionality odous in many other countries. They
cannot emigrate whittier they will, as they were
largely able to do before the war, and expect
to hnd a pleasant welcome in the lands to
which they fare. 1t is said that the German
government regards Japan, Brazil and Argen-
tina as at present preferable countries for Ger
man immigration. The reason is obvious why
it does not include the United States, Canada,
Australia or South Africa in the preferential
list Memories of the war are yet too fresh
and bitter in these lands, and opinions in them
are unsuitable as to the guilt of Germany in
forcing the holocaust upon the world

Where Heulthg Men Come From

From what region did the healthest men
come for the United States army in the war?
Yes, you are right. From the states of the great
plains.
The general staff has published map show
ing by states the percentage Of drafted men
passing physical examination. The states
printed in white sent men in such fine physical
condition that 20 to 80 per cent were accepted
in the service. Other states are graded with
shaded lines down to the states printed in black
from which only 50 to 50 per cent were &C
cepted.
There is broad band of white across the
map from North Dakota on the north to Texas
on the south. Missouri barely misses being in
the white class. 1t comes in the next group
from which IS to 90 per cent were accepted
1t may get uncomfortably hot at times in

UNFOLDING the Civil Law,

One feature Of the race riot at Knoxville
Tenn, stands out with encouraging boldness.
1t is the determination of the sheriff to up
hold the civil law against mob rule. A sus-
pected criminal had been placed in his charge,
and he defended that charge against the de-
termined effort of an unlawful gathering to
wreak its own vengeance. In this he did his
home and the country in general a distinct
service. The unruly spirit that has prevailed
in America for many months is not hopeful
sign of progress by democracy. Our laws are
made by the people. and are of effect only as
far as the people will respect them, Murder
by mob is no less murder than if committed
by an individual. Process of law may be slow,
but if patiently observed it will achieve JUS
tice in the end, and that is its greatest func-
ton Violence against the law by one is bad.
but when many unite in breaking it, our whole
system of government becomes farcica1 That
a peace officer has been found with courage
sufficient to discharge his duty without shrink
ing is worthy of commentator from those
who are concerned in the perpetuity of liberty

Plenty of Smoke: Locate the Fire,

An inquiry into expenditures in connection
with the governments shipbuilding program

Gates that something is wrong Witnesses
would not ask to be guaranteed safety if they
did not expect to be called upon to make dis
closures that might expose some criminal act
The investigation has gone far enough to raise
considerable cloud of smoke. Back of it
there must be some fire. and it is the plain
duty of the government to locate this. Testi-
mony takensin connection with the spruce pro-
duction work throws deep cloud of suspicion
on some of the things done by the War de-
partment and its agents, and downright fraud
has been alleged against certain of the men
who were elevated to responsible positions in
this work. Enough has been brought out TO
justify the most minute inquiry into all the
proceedings connected with the war program
in the northwest, and congress should go to
the bottom Of the affair without ruth:

Distribution of Foodstufs.

A complaint is made that the distribution Of
foodstuffs is in some measure responsible for the
present cost of living. This contains more'o of truth
on one of the factors of the problem of life
that is not easily explained. In the complaint
referred to the statement was made that at the
celebration of the opening of sugar mill at
SCOTS Bluff, sugar from New Orleans was
served instead of the home grown product
Commission men testified at the hearings in
Omaha and Lincoln that apples from Washing
ton and Idaho, potatoes from Minnesota and
other states, and similar articles of food are
sold in Omaha, while the Nebraska output is
sent elsewhere. Many years ago The Bee dis
closed the information that the selling price
of butter on the local market is obtained by
adding the freight to New York to the Elgin
quotation. Before the war American meat sold
at a lower figure in London than in Omaha.
All these items combine to form serious in
dictment of our methods of doing business.
Foodstuff is not distributed on a reasonable
basis, for no good reason is shown why Ne
braska. products should not be consumed in
Nebraska, why the home folks should not have
some advantage of proximity of source, and
why the local producers should be required to
look for market far from home. The way
to correct this is easy, and largely in the hands
of the buyer. If homegrown stuff is asked
for, it will soon be supplied Enough of it is
raised to feed everybody, and Omaha should
not be made source of profit to those who
have no other interest in the community

OPENED A GOLDEN GRANARY
Hukuang Loan Will Make China's
Richest Province Accessible.

The Chinese province of Szech-
uan, with a territory greater than
the com bined areas of Greece and
continental Italy and with a popula-
ton nearly twice their combined
number, a land of multiple annual
harvests and of Astounding mineral
wealth, has for decades lured the
worlds commerce and at the same
time held it at arms length. This
single province has an area of more
than 100000 square miles and
population estimated at 100000.
1t is rich in coal and iron, lime and
salt; and gold, silver. copper and
anthony are found within its Dor
ders. Such is the mildness of the
climate that there are intermediate
crops between the two main har-
vests. The great plain of Chengtu,
its capital, is golden granary of
magnificent capacity.
Surely, no country offers prizes
more tempting to the adventurous
hardihood of modern commercial
pioneers. 1t has tempted them
and batfied them. For Szechuan is
walled about with barrier noun
tains. Its only artery of commune
cation with the world is the
Yangtze river which has burst
through the imprisoning range; to
the sea. And so difficult is traffic
through its gorges that can of
Kerosene which sells in Hankow at
$40 costs $1,000 in Chengtu. The
people of Szechuan can live with
out foreign commodities in ade-
quate comfort as the Chinese have
done for centuries; but the little
foreign merchandise which has
made it's costly way into the coun-
try has whetted an appetite for
more.
The Chinese Of Szechuan want a
railroad almost as much as the
outer world wants to tap the
prodig1ous resources of the basin.
