Going Around the Circle.

Scrutiny Of the progress Of food cost in
qury in Omaha, such as has been had, will
give very fair idea of what is being done
generally. 1t is admitted that a great and I'M
expected rise in price Of necessities is present.
Furthermore that some part of this is not at
all justihable, and that undue profits have been
exacted. Opposed to this retail Dealers whole
sale dealers, manufacturers, producers of raw
materials, all unite in reputation of prohteer-
ing, and there you have it.
, The variety of remedies suggested offer lit
tie hope, even, if we generally adopt the ever
recurrent advice to buy cheaper" supplies. AS
a matter of fact there are no cheap supplies;
some are lower priced than others, but none
are cheap. A grocer testified that his meat
market first sells its porterhouse steak, and
finds difficulty in disposng of the less dainty
portions of the carcass. This is easy to un-
derstand People like porterhouse steak and
none can blame them. Some years ago quite
an extensive campaign was carried on to in
duce the public to purchase less expensive cuts
of meat, and when it had met with fairly good
success the prices on these portions were cor
respondingly marked up. This has been re-
peated in other lines than meats.
Little Roadway is made in befogging the
public mind with long arrays Of figures, show
ing essened production, increasing consump-
ton, currency imitation and the like. These are
els,nents in the main problem. Their presence
does not relieve the suspicion that much if not
most of the advance in the cost level was ar
tiically stimulated. The government has not
and probably will not be able to lay its hands
on the culprits 1t has been established, though,
that the business of producing and marketing
in the United States is highly organized.
Nothing is gained by singing out individual
cases of extravaganza, because the fact is ap-
parent that most people are compelled to prac-
tice close economy in purchase and use to get
along at all. The cost of high living can not be
held responsible for all the trouble.

for the evil, but we are all moving in circles

LABOR DAY AND LABoRs DAY.

Labor did not acquire new dignity, as
some have asserted, through the fires of war.
The dignity of Iabof-is better recognized, that
is ALL A number of old ideas went into the
discard, along with certain out-worn customs
and institutions, but the great fundamental of
human happiness is unchanged. Even yet some
are unable to recognize the facts in theft true
light, but these will see more clearly as days
go by.
Labor stands for the productive and creative
functions of man. 1t is the essential OF life, of
growth and progress, the elder brother Of
Capital, and the one sure source of content
ment Artificial divisions and distinctions have
grown up obscuring these vital truths, but
the fact has been unchanged. With the ad-
vance of methods some of the relations be-
tween the two great forces were distorted or
turned aside from their natural channel, with
the effect that has disturbed what should be
orderly progress. Efforts are now being made
to set Alright operation of these agencies OF
good, that harmonious results may proceed
from their proper employment.
Present day disturbances are symptomatic
principally of the reaction incident to breaking
up the old and the establishment of new order.

But the balance will be set up.
Labors day is dawning. 1t is not to be
day of ease and idleness, but one full of Busy
hours, with every faculty and energy employed
to the utmost in the creation of things needed
for the happiness of man. 1t will be time
when the productive impulse will be guided
more ntegently; injustices and expressions
of the past will disappear and the idle will no
longer eat while the worker goes hungry. In
equalites will always exist, and men will be
disconnected with their lot, just as they have
been from the beginning. But all will work
with greater Joy, because all will know that the
effort is not in vain.

progress in the industry in products, in ma
chnery and appliances in processes of animal

useful to the farmer may be noted under the

Along with the educational value of the fair
goes its amusement features. Sometimes it
may be questioned if this phase is not too

such importance as must attract many who

Pershing- and the Investigators.

General Pershing has declined to appear be-
fore a subcommittee from the house committee

gives as his reason the fact that all his records
have been boxed and shipped to the United
States. This will strike most people as fair
excuse for his declining to submit to an ex-
animation 1t is certain he would be asked
great many questions he could not answer from
memory and in absence of the archives of his
office he would be unable to satisfy the ex-
amner Such a proceeding would be productive
of no good The presence of the subcommittee
in Paris may have the effect of bringing out
much detailed information that could not be
gotten at from this side, but it is clear that the
records so far as they affect the action Of the
general in command, must be referred to and il
they are on their way to the United States, they
will be available here. The insinuation that
General Pershing is trying to evade respon-
siblity is hardly warranted from his record as

Brains Are Very Necessary

The fallacy in the whole plan of the Big
Four" brotherhoods lies in the assumption that
a\great railroad system can be run and ex-
pahded without great constructive genius, and
that great constructive genius will work with
out adequate incentive.
1t was the brain of J. ]. Hill that conceived
and built the Great Northern system and de-
veloped the northwest The opportunity was
there, but Hill saw it and had the nerve to
take risks in order to prove that his faith in
the future of the district was we'll founded.
There are just as efficient conductors and
engineers and fremen working on the road as
when he laid the first rails, but they could not
have built up the system.
There is in every city a score of large bust
ness enterprises which existed first in the brain
of one man. The employees whom he has called
to his assistance could not have developed the
business, though some of them think that they
should control it and tell the directing brain
what he should do.
And there is in every city one or more great
enterprises built up by the genius Of single
man which have gone to ruin when that mar
died.
Men of ordinary ability are for sale; but the
constructive genius never sells himself. He
commands the services of others and builds or
the foundations which are embedded in his owr
will and in his own determination to put the
thing across.
The world is full of wrecks of big enter
were the heirs of the founder or the subor
dinates who took it over at his death, were toe
little to carry on.
There may be railroad geniuses in tn.
brotherhood, but they are not in sight, and thu
chances are all against the success of theil
plan, even if it were advisable for other rea
sons.5Philsdelphi Public Ledger
