ers to the farmers in the vicinity of
Omaha, l can say I get $295 per
100 pounds. 1t costs 40 cents per 100
pounds to deliver the milk, thus
leaving the farmer $2.55 per 100
pounds for the milk. This is in the
neighborhood Of (not quite) 5h
cents per quart
An official of one Of the large
milk handling plants Of Omaha
made the statement last September
that they could handle milk on
6 cents per quart margin and make
profit. At no time in the last year
have the milk dealers handled milk
at so low margin. The farmers
are getting blamed for the high cost
of milk, while the money received
for milk barely pays the cost Of
production.
The farmers have produced milk
at a loss for the greater part of last
year, while somebody has been in
between getting the profits from
our milk. During the year up to
November /. 1918, 20 representative
dairymen had a man from the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Dairy division, who figured
an accurate average cost of milk
production during that time. The
detail figures can be obtained from

Explanations that Do Not Explain.

Defenders Of the proceedings at Paris are
having quite little trouble in making Amer-
cans understand that we got all that was COM
ing to US at the conference. Mr.. Lansing, who
as secretary of state, is the presidents chief
adviser on foreign affairs always in absence
of the unofficial Colonel House,, tells the senate
committee on foreign relations that the treaty
and the league covenant embody substantially
the fourteen points" However here is the
statement as recorded: .
Regarding the first point, dealing with
open covenants openly arrived at he said:
II consider that was carried out. OF
course negotiations can go on between
nations that are done in public hearing
Freedom of the seas, the second covenant,
the secretary said, did not enter into the ne
gotiations.

it be considered" asked Senator Johnson.
mo, it never came up
Equality of trade conditions were estab-
lished, the secretary said, on the third point.
The fourth, for reduction of armament, he
declared, was effected by the league covenant.
But there is no arrangement for reduc-
ton there except at the option of nations"
protested Senator Johnson
The covenant imposes a moral obllga-
ton" the secretary replied.

experts in dupcity in respect to our State de-
partment. 1t is with sorrow note his ten
dency to adopt the outworn methods Of the old
world, supposed to have gone down with other
useless things beneath the wave of war. The
secretary of state may console himself with
the thought that the fourteen points" are Sub
stantialy embodied" in the treaty, but the pub
lie knows better. His explanations do not ex-
plain, and the American people are waking up
to the fact that the delegation from Washing

MOVING AGAINST THE PRoFITEER.

A general onslaught by all the organized
forces of government is now directed against
the profiteer. The experiment is interesting,
as it ought to disclose finally in how far it is
possible to control human greed by process of
law. Conditions prevailing throughout the
world are the natural consequence Of war
that exceeds in its destructive phases any the
world ever knew.
Estimates as to the cost of the conflict in
the way OF wealth vary widely, but the low
est Of them involve sum equal to the total
wealth OF the United States, including land
values Try to imagine everything in this, the
richest country on earth, that has any tangi-
bic or intangible worth, piled into one place
and then dissipated into mist irrecoverable
through any process of salvage, and you will
have picture of what the war cost the world,
aside from human life. Kill every sixth man
between the ages of Is and IS in the United
States and cripple every third man remaining
and you will get notion of the toll taken
from humanity. Then recall that the total
government revenue of the United States,
Great Britain, France and Germany for the
year 1914 is insufficient to pay the interest on
the money borrowed by these governments to
carry on the war, and you will see if you do
not comprehend the magnitude of its money
cost.
If these facts convey any impression to
your mind, it must be that the remedy for
existing evils is the utmost exercise of all hui
man energy in production. Let us, if we can,
check the rapacity of those selfish persons who
are seeking to turn the msfortunes of human
ity to private gain. Enforcement of law may be
required to curb their avarcious tendency.
But something more than this is needed.
Each individual must realize that he or she
carries some part of the responsibility. The
worker who remains idle unnecessarily for any
reason is contributor to the sum of human
ills just as surely as is the man who deber-
atey hides food that he may gain through the
shortage that follows. Help the government
all you can in its efforts to stabilize living con-
ditions, but remember that talking or passing
resolutions will be of little avail. What the
world needs now is work we'll done

Roumania's Absurd Contumacy.

Were the general situation less serious, the
Roumanian attitude for the moment would
cause the world to smile. 1t must attract at
tention to the sorry figure the Roumanians
cut in the great war. After much open and
covert Irritation with both sides, the country
decided to cast its lot with what proved to be
the winning combination. The king and his
cabinet were not entirely at one on this. how
ever, and disaster very early overlook the
army because of cross-purposes in its drec-
ton and failure to observe precautions urged
by the Allies. Eventually the invaders were
expelled, and at Paris boundaries for the king
dom were set up. When Hungary fell into the
hands of the bolshevists, Roumania set about
to right what it conceived to be certain
wrongs incident to the Bella Kun maneuvers.
Advice from the Allies again went unheeded.
until now we find Roumanian army in Buda-
pest, sacking and footing the capital of Hun
gary, and refusing to accept the protest of
the commander of the allied troops. That this
will react on Roumania is certain 1t verihes

Rev. DR.. Tiplady, who said the agreements

The Income Tar, 1917
From the New York Times.

According to the preliminary statement OF
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. cover
ing the year 1917, the persons who reported an
income of $1,000 or over numbered 3472S90.
This is about per cent of the total popula-
ton, estimated at upward of lOO.OOO,O0O. The
number OF people supported by these incomes.
however is considerably greater. In many
cases a single report covers the JOINT earnings
of husband and wife; and wherever there are
children they also must be included The num-
Der of people living on the reported incomes
is thus. in all likelihood three or four times
per cent of the total population.
The total of receipts from the tax was So7S,-
249,450. This. the commissioner states, makes
an average of $3o8s6 per person. II all reporting
an income of 81 900 or over had paid a tax, the
average would obviously be much lower, about
$780, The explanation doubtless lies in the
fact that there were 1,640,75S persons reporting
incomes between $1,000 and $1,000 many or
most of whom were entitled to deductions
which exempted them from paying any tax.
Comparison with previous years shows that
crease in the number of persons reporting the
larger classes of income. Those receiving from
$4,000 to $4,000 rose from 82745 in 1914 to
3749S8 in 1917. Those receiving from $4,000
to $4,000 rose from l3744S in 1914 to 270,666
in 1917. Those receiving from $4,000 to $780,
UUU rose from S,lOl IN lSl4 10 l1,4oS III lSl|.
In the case of those, however, who receive the
largest classes of income, from 100000 to
100000 and over, there is marked variation
from this type. In 1914, 1915 and 1916, the in
crease is regular and in general proportionate.
But in all cases the returns for 1917, the year
we entered the war, show decided falling
off. Thus persons reporting incomes between
100000 and 100000 numbered ia in 1914,
209 in 1915, 37o in 1916, and only 3l5 in 1917.
Likewise, persons reporting incomes of $1,000
900 and over numbered 90 in 1914. 100 in 1915.
206 in 1916, and only II in 1917. This may
show that, contrary to the general belief, we
had few or no prohteers during the war. Or
it may show that our profteers were all-round
men in their speciality. The officials of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau promise thorough in
vestigation.
The total net income reported was upward
of thirteen blions-$l3 652383 2O7. At per
cent, this would represent capital of over two
hundred and sixty billions, or ten billions more
than the total wealth of the country as it has
hitherto been estimated. Obviously, the esti-
mate has been far too low. If the incomes Of
the vast numbers who pay no income tax were
added, the calculated principal of the country
would swell to figures far beyond the most
liberal calculation.

REPATRIATED.

Oh fair Alsace and loved Lorraine.
Your scattered children fondly call
To vine clad slope and sunny plain,
With joy triumphant over all.
To Strasbourg's spire our full hearts turn,
And Metz's frowning fortress stern.
France be not cold to us We fled
Because we could not bear the yoke,
The naughty Prussian martial tread
In our sad breasts wild echoes woke
We fled from Thionville's retreats,
And left old Colmar's winding streets.
And so we came across the sea,
Since deep within us burned the fire,
The deathless torch Of Liberty
Was handed down to son by sire.
Lips that had sung the "Marseillaise'
Were 10th to chant the "Kultur" praise.
On these wild shores our homes we made,
Like other pilgrims here we found
Shelter and comfort, arts and trade;
But in our hearts I'VE bore wound
Memory of ravished mother-land,
OF iron heel and mailed hand
So ever turned our thoughts to thee.
And now the hard fought fight Is won,
We long our native land to see
Clean purged of goose-step and the Hun.
On mountains blue to gaze again,
Where corn flowers bloom amid the grain.
Oh. fair Alsace and loved Lorraine.
What rapture unalloyed twill be
flung from Strasbourg's sacred spire
The tri-color Of Liberty!
To know that Metzs stony street
Re-echoes to the Poilu's feet!

German Eyes Unbandaged

The German White Book published by the
Weimar government confirms the statement
on high military authority, that the turning
point of the war came in early August one
year ago. From that date until the armistice,
though official stories of 'triumphs" still were
given out the leading men of Germany were
eagerly seeking way out of the conflict.
General Ludendorff in September heard
that Bulgaria had offered to sign separate
peace On October l Hindenburg insisted
that peace offer be sent Immediately unless
Prince Max. who favored peace formed a
ministry. On the same day General Groener
reported that General Ludendorff declared
that delay in seeking peace would be fatal.

many should end the war; but by October d
the emperor himself had reached the unalter-
able decision to sue for peace because "his
conscience forbade him to permit further
bloodshed" In fact, all the bloodshed after
that date was worse than wasted.
The recent press denial of the stories put
forth early in the war that the French poisoned
wells and began the employment of bombing
planes against civilians, and that the French
and British both used dumdum bullets, gains
authority from the fact that it is written by
Herr Binder. the official observer at Great
Headquarters. These fantastic lies were
quickly exposed by neutral military observers
in Germany, including American officers,
but they proved too useful with the public to
be abandoned

Film InvQsion Of Great Britain

The battle-royal which is now on across the
seas over the domination of John Bulls tight
the least interesting phase of what is called
the "American INVASION" That our British
friends have mind of their own about Ameri-
can competition is shown, in that their stand
on the film question is put down fatty and
frankly as follows:
First. The British exhibitor takes the
greatest exception to the Famous Players
ture Playhouses Itd), a company recently
formed with a nominal capital of 100000
pounds for the purpose of promoting sub
sidiary companies throughout Great Britain
and Ireland, and erecting cinematograph
theaters in opposition to the present exhb
itors, who have for many years been GUS
toners of the Famous Pfayers-Lasky Com
pany.
Second. While the British exhibitor well
comes the American film, he realizes that it
is necessary for him to retain the control of
what shall Or shall not be shown to British
audiences and is therefore opposed for OBJ
vious reasons to a large circuit of theaters
distributed throughout this country being
either owned or directed by an American
producing and renting company.
When it is remembered, owing to certain
paramountcy of our own enterprises, given lis
partly by the war and partly by the climatic
conditions which allow production an enor-
nous scale without interruption the year
around 1t can easily be seen that whether or
not the proposed American company comes to
grief in England not, the American film is
not likely to disappear over there by any
means. Already nine-tenths of the films shown
in England are of American manufacture, and
the conquest of the rest of Europe and of the
world at large by the American film. while it
may not take the sweeping character that it
has in England, is likely to be certain and sure.
Aside from the business aspect, the educational
phase of the matter is a not unmportant one,
though of course, it is to be hoped our foreign
friends will make allowance for American life
as depicted in the movies" and not expect that
the paprika-like character of the films highly
spiced to make a cinematographic holiday are
the everyday commonplace of life under the
stars and stripes
At all events, what with cable and wireless
communications, arship and airplane visits
make in us all one big family, the Argonauts
of the American film companies are bringing
the world into mutual understanding, both at
home and abroad, that ought to be productive
of good results. Philadelphia Ledger.

to me a wrong thing to restrict a

have lived in Boston where there are
restrictions, and in New York and
Chicago where there are none. Who
does no receive a lasting impression
by seeing the tall buildings of New
York and Chicago and remember
them wildly always? And who
ever remembers the buildings of
Boston and ST. Louis? Then why
do we prefer the upper floors for
our business, and the higher the
better? Because we get further
from heat and dirt and noise and
have purer and better air and bet
ter view. I'd be proud if we had a
man with a vision like Woolworth
and would build one twice as high
as Woolworth's or at least 100 stor-
les high if possible and safe. I'll
assure you it would put Omaha on
the map and every person in Oma-
ha would be proud of it and telling
their friends of it, and every one in
the world most would know of it
and all visitors would go to the top
of it and take look at Nebraska.
