Wheat sold on the Omaha market April 29, 1(19, (or $2.85 a buihel, corn for $1.70, oata for 71 cent. Last Monday the tame grade of wheat aid in Omaha for 99 centi, corn for M'A centi, cati for 27 cents. On the baiii of a 60,000,000-busbcl wheat crop in Nebraska this ihrinkage in value amounta to $111,000,000. Assuming a corn crop of 200, 000,000 bushel a fair average the shrinkage is $270,000,000. In oati, on the basis of a 70,000,000 btuhel yield, the shrinkage is $30,000,000. The grand total is $411,000,000. Let it be admitted than no great part of Ne braska's crop was sold in 1919 at the prices quoted. Tbey were a peak which stood for only t single day. A price of $2.25 did maintain for a great part of the Nebraska wheat crop of 1919, and at that figure Monday's price repre sents a shrinkage of more than $75,000,000. On a similar basis for corn and oats, the present price of these three principal grains figure a vatue well over $300,000,000 less than an average crop would have brought at the price prevailing a little over a year ago. , That is a right tidy fortune. It is a fortune which Nebraska farmers have lost because of the decline in the price of their principal products. This situation is more than serious. It is little short of stupefying to the producer whose income depends on the present price of his produce. At a matter of fact, the price the farmer receives is considerably less than that in dicated. Actual prices paid Monday at three Nebraska towns, in the midst of important agri cultural districts, are shown below, in cents per bushel: Wheat Corn. Oats. Geneva.. ...... 78 23 17 Hastings 81 20 19 Koldrege. 80 25 . . Is It iny cause for surprise that the Nebraska farmer, ia common with the farmers of Adjoining states, wonders "where do we go from here?" It is not a mere lowering of the general level of prices which has hit the Nebraska producer. Prices in general have not dropped in anywhere near this proportion. If they had, the farmer would have less cause for complaint. As -it is, he has fewer dollars to spend than at any time in the last seven years and the value of each dollar is far lest than it was seven years ago. The farmer ia over the boom and back to nor mal; the rest of the country it over the boom, but It is not yet back to normal And the farmer pays! Or, as it frequently the case, he can not py! ; : The situation is one which must be faced and met It can not be allowed to drag. It requires real and positive action, by government, by busi ness interest and by the farmers themselves. In some degree the farmer can solve it by feeding hogs with his corn; in some degree the business man can solve it by extensions of credit; in some degree the railroads and the government can solve it by lowering freight rates which are now a mill-stone, around the neck of the straggling producer. It will take all of these aids, and perhaps more, to meet the situation. These Steps must -be taken, and the best brains of the country must proceed to a consideration of further steps. The price of grain at the farm must be put, by one means or another, at a' point where it cart be raised with some assurance of profit Canal and Coastwise Trade. - One of the remarkable exhibitions of im perious will by Woodrow Wilson, when president, had to do with the abrogation of that part of the Panama Canal law which exempted American coastwise commerce from tolls. His own party platform had declared in favor of this provision of the law which had been enacted by a repub lican congress. Alleging it to be a denial of the Hay-Paancefote treaty, and making a consider able pretense at unexpected fairness, the demo cratic president dragooned a subservient congress into repealing the law. - Later on his ntire program was disclosed, when he advocated what amounted to the total abandonment of American coastwise commerce to foreign competition. The one remnant of an American merchant marine was that engaged in coastwise commerce, and at the time Wilson came into power this carrying' trade amounted to almost if not quite as much as our overseas commerce.. It wat lucrative, too, for the main- tenance of high tariffs permitted the water car riers to secure a better rate than otherwise would have been possible. Foreign vessel owners looked with envy on this rich trade and sought to secure some of it Vessels of foreign regis try were prohibited from plying between Ameri ca! ports, but the free trade apostles, of whom Mr. Wilson was a leader, were ready to remove this disability, and the levying of a canal toll oa ' American coastwise traffic was the first step. A ship from New York to San Francisco it jutt as truly engaged in coastwise traffic at one journeying between New York and Boston, and should be under no greater disadvantage. Amer icas Ttsselt engaged in foreign trade are subject to tolls, and rightly to, but this is no reason for taxing the exclusive home trade merely for the benefit of foreigners. Opposition to the bill vttt develop in the bouse, Just at In the senile, bat not because of iny relation between the measure and the treaty it it taid to violate. Interests that blocked the way to building the canal for many years are not altogether passive in their consideration of it now, and might not regret a failure to remove the tolls oa American freight passing through the canal It seems very certain, at thit time, that the bill will go through, tod the mistake made by the Wilson administration be thus corrected. In time tome reflection of thit may be noted in rates to the middle west, for it Is not to be ex pected that thit region will forever go without tome benefit from the canal it hat helped to pty for. A Perfect Day b the Senate. Under the caption, "Six Montht of Do Noth ing," our democratic contemporary laments that with the passage of six months the imperative task of congress is about as near completion at it was on the day that congress met No man, in congress or out, has any reasonable assur ance what the taxation system will be, or what the tariff rates will be. The republican party, with huge majorities in both houses, finds it self unable to function. There must be a reason for this deplorable state of affairs. Just a little examination of the record will throw a little light on the cause. Take, for example, the proceedings of one week ago today. After the routine opening and the dis patch of preliminary business in the senate, the following took place: Mr. Curtis: Mr. President I desire to ask if there is any senator who wishes to speak on the treaty with Germany? If there is not, I suggest that we proceed with the consideration of the revenue bill. Mr. Sheppard: . Mr. President, I wish to speak on the treaty. Mr. Curtis: Then I suggest that the treaty with Germany be laid before the senate. The Vice President: The chair lays before the senate the treaty with Germany. Mr. Curtis: It should be considered in open executive session. Mr. Penrose: Mr.' President, I should like to ask, if I may, of the senator from Kansas or the senator from Texas, as it will make some difference in the arrangement concerting the revenue bill, whetlfcr there is any informa tion as to other senators expecting to address the senate today on the treaty? Mr. Curtis: I will state that I know of no other senator. Does the senator from Texas know of anyone else? Mr. Sheppard: I do not, but it is probable that I may consume the day. Mr. Simmons: I understand that the sena tor from Tennessee (Mr. McKellar) des:res to address the senate th's afternoon, but whether upon the 'treaty or the tax bill I am unin formed. Mr. Penrose: Then we are to understand that the day is likely to be taken up with treaty discussion? Mr. Simmons: I do not know anything about that Mr. Curtis: Can the senator from Texas advise us about it? Mr. Sheppard: It is very likely. Mr. Penrose: Do I understand the senator from Texas to state that it is very l'kely the entire day will be taken up with a discussion of the treaty? Mr. Sheppard: Yes, sir. Mr. Penrose: I only desire information. Of course, the treaty has the right of way. Mr. Curtis: I move that the senate pro ceed to the consideration of the treaty in open executive session. Mr. Underwood: I have uo objection to the motion, but I understand that under the . rule the treaty is automatically laid before the senate. Mr. Curtis: Then I withdraw my motion, Senator Sheppard took the floor, yielding long enough to permit Senator Watson of Geor gia to secure consent to the reconsideration of the confirmation of a postmaster at Clay City, . Powell county, Kentucky, and de livered an address that fills the Congres sional Record from page 6,969 to page 6,750. What did he talk about The treaty with Germany? No, indeed. He dwelt on the topic, nearest the democratic heart the League of Na tions! Months were spent in debating that topic, and it was submitted to and rejected by "a great and solemn referendum," yet the senator from Texas takes up an entire day in the senate to present a review in detail of all its routine pro ceedings since the beginning. His speech con stitutes the business of the day with the excep tion of a ten-minute executive session. Is it any wonder the republican party finds itself un able to function, so long as the rule of unlimited debate prevails in the senate, and such senators as Watson of Georgia, King of Utah, Harrison of Mississippi, Sheppard of Texas, and Reed of Missouri, are present with their never-exhausted flow of words? The con clusion is warranted that the democrats do not propose to permit the majority to function as long as speeches can blockade the way. That is why cloiture should be adopted. One Way to End Unemployment . ' The king of France, who, if the song is to be believed, marched his soldiers up the hill and then marched them down again, has furnished a model for many statesmen. A trace of his masterly policy is even to be found in the announcement that the British government is arranging for the dismantlement of a number of obsolete warships in order to give employ ment to tome of the idle. ' This' idea may be said to have vast possibili ties, as well at tome complications. If too many ships arc broken up, there will be no place for. the sailors to set their foot or lay their head. And If every ship in His Britanic majesty's fleet were to be handed over for junking not all the jobless men would be provided for. v -' Compromises are things dearly beloved by those who rule. The idea ought not be. long coming, then, of employing half the men at de molishing warships, and the other half at build ing therrw The same material might be used Over and over again, the process taking on all the fascination of a jig saw puzzle. Of course, neither building a warship nor de stroying one adds an ounce of food or a yard of rough tweed cloth to the available supply. Under a less artificial system of life, men who lacked shoes might be set . to making them, or some Other product which could be exchanged for them. If the world is actually short of goods, due to the destruction wrought by the war, isn't it about time the wise ones, who are supposed to manage these things, come forward with a .plan for increasing productive employment? Mayor Hylan operated the first trackless trol ley car in Statea island and wound up his trip with a political speech. Tammany's band wagon has a 5-cent fare thit trip, but there appears to be tome danger of the trolley slipping off.

Today it the 429th anniversary of the discov ery of America by our old friend and school mate, Christopher Columbus. Whalda we mean, school-mate? Wasn't Chris always with us in jografy 'n histry 'n how many days we had to stay after school trying to commit to memory his telephone number Columbus 1492? Just 429 years a;o today Columbus intro duced fire-water to North Americans, and we've been busy ever since putting it down. Christo pher Columbus is the patron saint of the way farer and the hobo. He knew the meaning of the term, "unemployment," which he is said to have introduced into America. But first scholars, let us see what led up to him hoisting anchor and blowing recklessly right out of sight of land. Chris was originally a map-maker, but while still quite young he ran out of territory. For seven years, he rode his bike all over Italy and into Spain looking for new nooks to chart Young Columbus was near-sighted. One day he mislaid his horn-rimmed spectacles and got hold of a boop by mistake for a straight-edge. One peek at the resultant map convinced Co lumbus that the world was round. All excited he hustled over to the court house and laid it at the feet of Isabella, "What's thit?" she wanted, to know. "It looks like a phrenological diagram of a Norse skull piece." . "Nay, nay, queenie," quoth Chris, while the friction of his Adam's apple almost set fire to his celluloid collar. "That's the world. Stake me and I'll go around and see what's on the other side." Her majesty could see that Chris had been smitten by an idea and feared that he had cracked under the strain. She thought best to humor him. . "I'll do Jt," she soothed him, "if I have to hock my ear-rings." Which she did. And the next thing we hear of Columbus, dear school children, he has met the noble red man and traded a pint of hootch for the Atlantic sea-board. He "saw America first." . How to Keep Well lr DR.

An editorial In the Journal of Tropical Medicine M)'t King James X of England In t0 luuet a royal dt'r condemning the us of tobacco.

The nt re sult wat that the us tt tobacco waa Anormously lnerd, ta tact. bem almost universal wheraupon Kin James, in great chagrin, bad the nibl translated into EnrlUb.

Would you mind telling us about It In your column? REPLY. Goat's milk Is about 50 per cent richer In fat than cow's milk. When fed to young children it aiic.uld bo diluted more in ordr to offset this richness. About 25 per cent of the milch rows In the old dairy districts have tuberculosis. Goats have almost no susceptibility to that disease. This Is one advantage of goat's milk. A goat is not so much of a nuisance in a city as a cow. Therefore goat' milk ran be brought to the consumer within a few minutes after being drawn. That is an advantage. Don't lTse Poultice. E. N. writes: "What is the cause of c ArhnnnlM?

Ban Franklin Accomplished It Is there, any agency to teach the individual to make and enforce the necessary laws for hit own behavior? Those the state makes are not so ef ective. St Louis Globe-Democrat OfTom th Philadelphia tadgw.) . tt the strictures Of Col. Charles R. Forbes, director of the United States veterans' bureau, on th results of the government's policy toward dis abled soldiers hold up under th starching Inquiry undoubtedly to be directed at them, it will be mad quit evident that we are as far as we ever have been from satisfactory solution of what 1 to be- done for the service men wounded or dis abled in th war. Colonel Forbes has made a tour of inspection to learn at first hand what treatment the men were getting. He has made his report to President Harding. No where, apparently, does he find a good word to speak of the system. He is particularly strong in the denunciation of the system of place ment training in private shops and Industrial establishments, which he characterized as criminal and akin to slavery. He says the men In these places and In the contract hos pitals are being exploited. Not 5 per cent of the 6,000 men reported as rehabilitation cases, he says, are actually engaged in work assigned them by the government, but instead are "farmed out to cheap tailoring establishments and mushroom insti tutions, where the only interest of the proprietor or instructor is th amount of money that can be ob tained from the government." - Colonel Forbes' recommendation for combating the conditions he complains of is the establish ment of governmental rehabilitation schools; and he rays that until such schools are established the physical, moral and mental welfare of these men will be handicapped. -' Altogether, it Is a severe indict ment of the system that Colonel Forbes makes. It will challenge dis cussion and attention all. over the country. If the treatment of dis abled war veterans is as bad as this report would indicate, the country will not be satisfied to let it go on. There never has been from any source, not even from the most bit ter opponents of the bonus, on inti mation that the American people do rot feel that nothing is too good for th tan who were disabled Over sea. While there have been echoes from time to time hinting at Imper fections in the system, no one real ised it was as bad as Colonel Forbes ha painted it. The matter v now lie in the president's hands. Doubt les he will make recommendation to congress to correct the evil com plained of; and when he docs, he will hav united puslic sentiment behind him. Harding and Wilson (from tb Whtactoa Star.) . Senator Harrison twit the repub licans for applauding President Harding's contribution to the elec tion Of a republican senator from, New Mexico after condemning Presi dent Wilson's appeal for the election of a democratic congress In 1918. There is no analogy between the two performances. Naturally, Mr. Harding favored hla party's candidate for senator Party issues were up, and the campaign was being conducted on party lines. The election of a republican senator would mean another vote In support of republican policies. , In the-campaign of 1918 continued support of the war was the principal issue, arid the republicans were aa much to be relied on In that particu lar as the democrats. They had Joined in the declaration of war, had voted for all the war measures, and had made no sign of any change of policy. And yet, ignoring the rec ord, Mr. Wilson called for their de feat practically on the score that a democratic victory was essential to the successful prosecution of hos tilities. Until then democratic prospects had been bright. But the repub licans, quick to appraise the unfair ness of Mr; Wilson's appeal, rang all the changes on it, and closed their campaign on that aote. The result was a republican house by a large majority, and other returns that fore cast the overwhelming republican victory two years hence. The peo ple rebuked by their votes the slur Mr. Wilson had cast on the party which in the matter of the war had given him support in "ungrudging measure."

JIM fcTOESKER. Coll of the Cornfields. Omaha, Oct. 10. To the Editor of Th Bee: W hear a rood n about the unemployed, but we do not hear so much about the re;inn why they are unemployed. Last week a call came In to the employ ment agencies of Omaha for a hun dred men to trusk corn at 3 cents a bushel and It was Impossible to get a hundred men. Now 3 rent a bushel Is all that a farmer can pay on corn that only brings SO cents, and any able-bodied man who Is un willing to work at that price should have no further consideration from public charitable organizations or city employment bureaus. The other day the writer called up the Salvation Army for a man to clean up his yard, and they asked 60 cents an hour and car fare. I do not feel like contributing anything more to the Salvation Army because for the class of men that they fur nish 60 cents an hour is too much money.
