Wo learn with regret that a number
of tho senators back In Washington
aro suffering from the high cost of
living. For instance Senator Phelan,
of California, In order to save shoe
leather, rldos from his home to the
capitol building in his limousine, Sen
ator Knox, of Pennsylvania, has cut
meat from his menu, Senator Garry,
of Rhodo Island, drives his own car
to save chaff cur's wages, and Senator
Walcott, of Delaware, says ho hasn't
bought a suit of c'lothes sinco tho war
started. If prices soar much higher
wo would adviso tho senators to come
to North Platto and take a Job as
brakeman on tho Union Pacific.
