' Price Boosters Washington Post =’ _The people would be well pleased if President W |l|on.nhmlld direct to the attention of congress the evil of price-raising and price-fixing by greedy monopolists and middlemen, individually and collectively. There is no excuse for present prices of necessaries. No shortage, over-demand, transportation trouble, strike or other factor has ‘operated to give jyst cause for the prices de- manded. In some ingtances the rise results from cornering the supplyly In other cases the intér- mcqxaneg between producer and consumer tack on inordinate profits, notably in the coal business. All sorts of reasons for high prices are given by dealers, but few, if any. of them, will bear analy- sis. The commonest excuse is that high prices are caused by the war in Europe, -But this does not apply to the bulk of commodities, which are not exported at all, or in such volume as not to affect the home supply.

Activity of the German submarine campaign has developed the expected difference of opinion between Washington and Berlin as to the mean- | ing of the pledges made on behalf of the kai- ser's government. At the time of its publication many commentators freely expressed the belief that it would prove inconclusive, despite the op- timistic views of the president that he had brought about a definite solution. It now appears that the Germans hold ideas quite different from that entertained, publicly at least, by President Wilson and his advisers. The sinking of the Arabia, the Marina and the Palermo has brought this sharply into view, and a new interchange of notes is impending. The situation as developed only serves to emphasize what was made very plain at the beginning, that any rights neutrals might claim would be respected only at the con- venience of the combatants. War is a very seri- ous business, and the nations engaged in it are too busy fighting to spend much time in split- ting hairs or refining niceties of conduct that they may be given credit with punctiliously ob- serving all the scruples that govern international intercourse in time of peace. Submarine opera- tions will be carried on by Germany as long as Great Britain and France dominate the surface of the ocean as completely as at present. How to Get a Home Rule Charter. In connection with the discussion of a new city charter for Lincoln, a suggestion comes by way of the Lincoln Journal which may be worth while considering for Omaha. While Lincoln has not yet undertaken to qualify under the home rule amendment to the Nebraska constitution, it is evidently eager to profit from the experience of Omaha’s failed effort. Our charter convention here set up as its task the drafting of a new fundamental law correcting the evils of the old one as far as possible and reorganizing the whole city government. In so doing so many different interests were neces- irily antagonized by one change or another thar, taken all together, they made ratification impos- sible and rejection left the city exactly where it was before in respect to charter amendments, namely, under compulsion to go to the legisla- ture for grants of authority which ought to be obtained from our own people. The point made by the Journal is that, while a great diversity of view must exist as to the particular points in which the city charter may be improved, one gain from adopting a home rule charter is indisputable. “The calling of a charter convention,” it goes on to explain, “and adoption of the charter submitted, brings the city under the home rule amendment to the constitu- tion. This means that thereafter the city could alter its charter within the scope contemplated by the laws of the state by its own free act. We should then be done with dependence on legisla- tures for needed changes in charters. It would be worth calling a charter convention if it did nothing but submit the present charter word for word. Indeed, that might be a desirable thing to do, for then home rule would be the one issue in the charter election and there would be no quarrel over changes in the charter to becloud any fundamental point.” The conclusion is of course that a charter convention for Lincoln should be called if only to put the city over on a home rule basis. From which “it’ follows. that, ' the: same process, Qimaha might submit and ddopt its present char- ter as a home rule document and then forever after be responsible itself for all changes and keep control of its own local affairs as against legis- lative interference. Nor would the acquirement of the home rule status be of advantage to us alone; it would also at the same time relieve the lawmakers of the constant demands on them for charter tinkering and permit them to devote their time and talents to legislative subjects of state-wide importance, Railroad Embargo on Food Shipments. Action of three of the big central trunk lines, declining to accept food consigned to eastern terminals, may have an immediate effect on prices. The abnormal condition has defied analysis, and such inquiry as hastily has been made by the fed- eral authorities has served only to support the statement made many days ago that enough of our surplus food stock /is held by speculators to enable them to control the market and establish prices. Actual producers have shared but lightly in the ehormous increase in values. This makes the service of the embargo just declared by the railroads questionable. Prices in the west are certain to go down as a result, but it is not sure if the effect will be felt by the eastern holders who have accumulated such immense stores of food along the seaboard. The situation is just now at its acute stage, Local boycotts serve only to give vent to popular protest, but other signs that a change impends are not wanting, A break in cotton prices reported from New Orleans of $5 per bale might be taken as indicating that a turn is coming in the course of the speculation that has taken such enormous tribute from the American public within the last few weeks. The railroad embargo will be a contributing but not a controlling factor in this. “Supporting the President.” A few weeks ago it was very essential that our democratic senator be re-clected, in order that he might give the president the support of his vote, and thus secure the perpetuation “of the policies and purposes to which Mr. Wilson is dedicated. That, of course, was before election. Since election Mr. Wilson has urged that con- gress speedily enact legislation that will en- large both the numbers and powers of the In- terstate Commerce commission, that it may have control of the transportation question, and thus relieve the country. And what do we find at home? Our democratic senator disputing with the late secretary of state as to which is the origi- nal champion of a proposition that is directly opposed to the president’s plan for railway con- trol. Of course, they're both earnest supporters of the president, but the senator can do most, for he has a vote, and he will probably support the president just as enthusiastically during the years to come as he did during the years passed. — Politics makes strange bedfellows the world over. Yesteryear the new British premier in- curred the concentrated wrath of torydom as a radical of radicals. Today they embrace him, ex- claiming between sobs: “Save us or we perish.” The hope of hearing Gabriel blow his trumpet some fine morning holds as good a promise of carly fulfillment as the dream of Czar Nicholas tooting the Golden Horn. THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, '| A Health Crank Tells How Kansas City W. Earl Flynn has been called “the Billy Sun- day of the Health Movement.” He has also been described as the youngest old man in the world. The voice which lightly spoke of eight-three years was that of a man in the prime of life. The face except for one or two deep wrinkles was the face of a man of 40. The eyes held none of the lusterless disinterest which commonly goes with age. They were brighter than the eyes of the average 25-year-old office worker. The shoulders were straight, the face clean shaven. He comes to Kansas City from Denver, where it is esti- mated he made 1000,000 converts to 'the Flynn system of staying young. His lectures are free; for his expenses %e depends, like Sunday, on voluntary contributions. “If you can’t put your hands flat on the floor without bending your knees you are on the way to the cemetery,” said the health evangelist, and promptly proved that he was still a long way from the place in question by jackknifing at the waist and putting his own hands on the floor. “The cgesl expansion of the average man is little more than two and a half inches,” he said. “It should be five and a half inches at the least. My own is ten and a half inches,” and he pro- ceeded to prove it. He was 41 years old himself before he started on the plan of life which he is now preaching. “It was in the rottenest kind of shape,” he said. “I was a gymnasium instructor, too. But I was going about it the wrong way. It isn’t only exer- cise that counts. It's the big proposition of get- ting the right kind of exercise. “I had indigestion, and my weight was down to 108 pounds. I had muscle, but it wasn’t the right kind of muscle. One day it struck me that I wasn't exercising the right things about m body. I was big in the arms"—he illustrated wit a doubling of his elbow—“but I was weak in the places where 1 needed strength most. It was the inside of me that needed to be waked up— the stomach, the kidneys, the liver, the lungs, the heart. Well, I took a brace. I cut down my food. People eat too much, anyhow. The man that eats one meal a day is an angel; the one that eats two is a human being, and the one that eats three is a beast. I cut myself down to two. “Then [ started a series of the right kind of exercises. [ still use them every day, and I advise everyone else to use them if they want to stay young. Here's one.” The knees of the man of flfi—i?thlt is it—bent. He sat down on his heels and sprang erect again. He did it a dozen times. “Let the average man of 40 try that,” he said. “He'll be ready for the doctor when he's done it the first 100 times. I've done it 2,000 without stopping—to make a record. Here's another.” He bent at the waist, and, holding his legs stiff, put his face against his knee. It sounds easy, but try it. y“Anybody that can’t do that is on his way to the cemetery,” said the speaker. “It exercises the muscles around the stomach. It puts strength where it's needed. Another good exercise of the same kind is to lie down and raise the feet to right angles with the body, holding the legs stiff. When the average man of 40 has done that a dozen times he's ready for the ambulance. I can do it 3,000. “How long does it take? Ten minutes a day. Let a man adopt my system, give it ten minutes a day, cat rationalf;' and take care of himself. He'll be as healthy as I am at my age. What's life worth without some ginger and pep? Look at the thousands of people that are dragging around waiting for a kind ?’rovidtnce to put them in the grave! Yet, if they’d only take a brace and use a little common sense they might enjoy liv- ing as much as a man of 40.” v Flynn studied medicine and taught physiology before he became a health evangelist. “Uncle Joe’’ Was “Wise’’ 'McClure’s Magazine: Shortly after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, “UncleJoe” Cannon, then a young member of congress, was approached with a proposition to invest $1,000 in the new project to talk over an ordinary wire strung on top of wooden poles. For $1,000, he was assured, he could be m on the ground floor of a great business enterprise that was destined to revolutionize the methods of communication the world over. Just a short time before that Cannon had lost a few hundred dollars in a scheme to convert brass into gold by a new chemical process. So he laughed heartily and slapped his thigh when the telephone proposition was laid before him. “I would much rather,” declared he, “put my money in something more conservative, I think I'll go out lin the country and buy up a few bee lines.” ' A few days later Cannon had occasion to call at the office of a young chap named Vail, who was at the head of the railway mail service of the Postoffice department. “Mr. Vail is not in. He has resigned his place,” Cannon'was informed. “Resigned his place!” exclaimed Cannon, for resignation from government jobs was almost unheard of. “Yes, he's gone with this thing invented by a man named Bell. You know—they claim they can talk between different towns over a wire. Vail invested some money in it and is going to make that his business.” “Well, it's just' too bad,” said Cannon: “I always like Vail. They tried to get me for a sucker. I'm sorry it should have been a nice chap like Vail." v He never saw Vail again until last winter, when he attended a big dinner at the National Geographic society in Washington. The guests all around the table placed receivers to their ears and heard the roar of the Pacific ocean at San Francisco. Right near Cannon sat Theodore Vail, the multi-millionaire head of the American Tele- graph and Telephone company. “Blamed if it ain’t a funny little old world!" remarked Cannon. It is, at that, People arid Events Statistics of automobile killings in New York state fail to show any visible results from safety preachments or law enforcement. - Killings keep pace with the increase in vehicles licensed.
