THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1916.
SUICIDAL LOGIC
OF THE DEMOCRATS
Satisfaction is Merely Not
Wanting Too Intensely What
. Ton Should Have.
MUCH LESS IS ENOUGH
By A. R. GROH,
Some people are never satisfied
always grumbling, grumbling.
Now here are these folks, kicking
about the high cost of living: They
say the democrats didn't keep their
pledge in the platform of four years
airo to "reduce the cost of living."
Y'remember they reduced the tariff
on sugar. We used to get twenty
pounds for a dollar in the wicked
days of republican high tariff. Now
we get thirteen pounds. But, shucks,
it isn't good for you to eat too much
sugar. It's a good idea to cut down
on it. If you didn't eat so much it
wouliin t cost you so much.
Take canned goods. Canned toma
toes onlv cost about twice as much
as they did four years ago, and canned
corn and peas and beans have only
gone up about 60 per cent.
Cream cheese, that used to cost 16
cents, can be had for 25 cents right
now, and domestic Swiss cheese has
gone up even less than that.
"Spuds" and Eggs.
Potatoes onlv cost twice as much
as they did last year, and eggs are
only about 40 per cent higher than
they were four years ago.
Then there's butter. The same qual
ity that used to cost 25 cents a pound
only costs 37 today. What's a few
cents on a pound of butter? We
really eat too much butter. And if
we would only eat half as much as
we did nnder republican administra
tion why our butter bill wouldn't be
as large as it was then.
Of course, it's true that flour has
doubled in price. Costs about $10.45 a
barrel. T. hat s more than it cost in
civil war times, but we're not living
in civil war times, are we? Why go
way back into ancient history like
that?
Milk has gone up 50 per cent. We
really drink too much milk in this
country. We would orobablv be bet
ter off without so much. Apt to be
microoes ana tnings in it.
Yes, shoes have doubled and tripled
in price, but well, there's no doubt
some good reason for that.
Meats have gone up from 50 to 100
per cent, though the packing houses
are turning out greater quantities than
they did four years ago. But then,
prob'ly the people re eating more
and that made the price go up. We
eat too much meat, anyway.
Nothing to Worry About
You can get dried lima beans, real
nice ones, tor 10 cents a pound.
They're good, nourishing food, too.
These haven't gone up, at least not
very much. And oatmeal is adver
tised at six pounds for a quarter. Oat
meat is mighty nourishing and any
body can afford to pay a quarter for
six pounds. Cornmeal doesn't cost
much, either, and cornmeal mush is
very nutritious.
I ust have "patience with these
kickers always grumbling just be
cause the democrats raised the cost
of living 50 or 60, or, at most, 100
per cent.
Statue of First '
Governor On the
High School Plot
A $10,000 statue by Cutzon Borg
lum, commemorating the early his
tory of Nebraska, will be placed on
Central High school campus by Major
Isaac Sadler chapter. Daughters of
the American Revolution, headed by
Mrs. William Archibald Smith. The
fund will be started soon by a public
entertainment the chapter will give
and private subscriptions, after which
an appeal to all Nebraskans will be
made.
In conference with Mrs. Smith on
his recent visit, Mr. Borglum suggest
ed that the memorial should consist
of a life sixe statue in bronze of the
first territorial governor, Thomas B.
Cuming. The base will be scenes of
territorial days, done in bai relief.

HEALED BY CUTICURA
SOAP AND OINTMENT
' "Eczema broke out in places on my
neck and hands, and later it was clear
aruund my neck and it spread over my
- hands. It was in the form of blisters and
the itching and burning were so intense
that I had to scratch all the time and I
could not sleep well nights. It caused
quite severe pain and I could not put my
hands in water or do my regular work,
and my hands were badly inflamed. -
"Then 1 heard of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and started to use them. Alter
three or four days my neck and hands
did not itch and burn so and it only
took two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
throe boxes of Cuticura Ointment to
heal me." (Signed) Miss Anna Ciesiel

Tabloids of Politics
LittU Items About the
Progress of the Campaign.
! Frank S. Howell, chairman of the
republican county central committee,
has authorized the following state
ment of the political situation as
viewed by himself:
"From this day, until every voter
shall have cast his ballot, each elector
will be asking of himself the serious
question:
"What of the next four years?
"As usual, the democratic party
commenced its national campaign
stronger than it finishes. I have failed
to witness a campaign in my thirty
three years of observation of politics,
wherein democratic issues have been
strengthened when the voters under
stand what they mean.
"Democratic doctrines usually suf
fer when exposed to light. The only
issue upon which they have been con
sistent is that of tariff for revenue
only, or free trade. Every time they
have won, it worked their destruc
tion. "I only see victory for Mr. Hughes.
Each day renders his election more
certain. The conditions in Nebraska
have been rapidly changing in the last
two weeks and the changes to Mr.
Hughes will be even more pronounced
as the solemn hour of election ap
proaches." Frank C. Best, chairman of the
finance committee of the county com
missioners, states that election judges
and clerks will receive their pay just
as soon as the election commissioner
has certified the payroll.
Ben S. Baker, republican nominee
for congress, spoke Thursday evening
at Valley. '
John L. Kennedy addressed a meet
ing of Italian citizens Thursday even
ing. He received a cordial reception
and was promised strong support by
these men,- Those who arranged the
meeting were Joseph Cesto, Joseph
Calabria, E. G. Maggi, Sebastian Sa
lerno and Carl Marfisi.
BRYAN WILL BOLD
OPEN AIRJIEETING
Commoner, for First Time in
His Life, Can't Hire a Hall
in Nebraska.
HAS "SOMETHING TO SAY"
W. J. Bryan will spak Saturday
evening on Capitol avenue, between
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets,
from a temporary platform, to an
audience which will stand on the
pavement and have the star-studded
sky for a canopy.
Mr. Bryan will "have a few things
to say," according to the promoters
of the meeting. He will voice ap
proval of President Wilson, speak in
behalf of the proposed prohibitory
amendment and will express his mind
on the local situation which makes it
necessary for him to speak in Omaha
at an outdoor meeting. '
.It will be the first time in Mr.
Bryan's political career that he will
have been required to speak at an
outdoor meeting in Omaha, or at least
the first time that he could not "hire
a hall" in Omaha, so the prohibition
ists declare.
Inside information indicate that the
meeting will be full of "pep." Lysle
I. Abbott will preside and I. J. Dunn
will give a preliminary address.
Mr. Bryan will be met at Union
depot by a committee of men. Mayor
Dahlman issued a permit for the meet
ing on Capitol avenue. The north
steps of the postoffice will be used by
as many as can find seating space.
The committee having the Bryan
meeting in charge claim that the
"wets" rented every place where a
Bryan meeting might be held, except
the public streets and the blue sky.

Afraid of the
TRUTH
Omaha will repudiate the cowardly tactics
of the Prosperity League in trying to pre
vent W. J. Bryan from speaking in Omaha.
There is no other explanation for their
having tied up the Auditorium and vacant
lots in order that even a tent may not be
erected for him.
