Speedy and certain punishment of crime through the regular operation of the . courts. 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of . inefficiency lawlessness and corrup tion in office. , 4. Frank recognition and commendation of honest and efficient public service. 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true basis of good citizenship. "Back to the mines?" All right; let's go. Omaha is taking it standing up, all right. Michigan is not going to be without an in teresting trial going on in court for some time. N v With eggs at 90 cents and going higher, the cackle of biddy almost drowns the eagle's" scream. Tht weather man seems to have his geography mixed. He is sending Nova Scotia weather to Nebraska. Old Doc Garfiold retains his optimism, but does not propose to let up on his regulations .until the miners are at work again. Whatever the secret between the president and the coal miners may be, it is to come out today. Let us hope it solves the question. Passenger train service has been reduced one-third, and more is coming, a testimonial to the efficiency of the government in meeting an emergency. ,A Chicago man lays down the rule: "If you. can't agree, the husband should always be the final judge." The next thing is to get friend ; wife to subscribe to that. I Kansas volunteers are actually getting out coal, knd under conditions that normally would have led to a shut down. Leave it to the Jay hawker to get there in a pinch. ' Attorney General Palmer says he has the record of 60,000 radicals now in America. Out of the lot he ought to be able to select those who sent the bombs through the mails. An Omaha congregation made Sunday memorable for the brother who offered to give a dollar for each dollar subscribed by the others to the building fund. It cost him $86,000. .- Colonel Raymond Robbins finds some re turned soldiers who1 do not agree with him on Russia. This was also to have been expected, and most of us will put in with the soldiers. Unusual calls are being made on charity just now, and the organized efforts to meet the demand for assistance are strained to the ut most. A contribution just now may mean a lot to somebody. Jf you can help, even a little, notify Mrs. Doane of the Associated Charities. Something incongruous in the fate of the American explorers, who lost their lives in a railroad accident in the heart of the Congo country. Livingston, Du Chaillu, Stanley and others knew of the dangers from wild beasts and the like, but did not have to guard against a rear-end collision at a wayside water tank.

The Omaha Board of Trade took steps to secure the state fair for Omaha the next five years. A committee was appointed to prepare articles of incorporation of a fair association with a capital stock of $200,000, j. Governor Thayer made a brief visit ta the city from Lincoln. A herd of 30 buffaloes which were being shipped from Manitoba to Utah were at the stock yards in South, Omaha and attracted con siderable attention. v Dad Clarke, star pitcher, left for Oswego. He was under contract to the Brooklyn Broth erhood team for the next season at a salary 'of $2,150 for the six months. i Mrs. Pritchett gave a dinner with covers for 16. , . , BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION. Now and again the president of the United States recalls that the constitution exists. In fact, it appeals to him something after the fashion of the little boy's definition of a lie: "An abomination before the Lord and an ever pres ent refuge in time of trouble." Just now the senate is in a mood to. end trifling with Mexico. The White House is not, and therefore comes notice that the pending Fall resolution asking that diplomatic relations between the two coun tries be severed , would constitute , a reversal of our constitu tional practice, which might lead tto very, grave confusion in regard to the guidance of our foreign affairs. r This is unquestionably a correct view to take, but it is open to the uncertainty that has marked the attitude of the president towards Mexico since he went into office in 1913. More than 300 American citizens have been' murdered in Mexico within the last few years, and no reparation made. An,er'can women have been the victims of outrage unspeakable, property has been looted on both sides of the border, and Americans have been ransomed from ban dits who jeer at us and seem to be on good terms with their miserable apology for a gov ernment. The Baltimore platform declared that Amer icans should be protected in their rights, wher ever they might be on land or on sea, and the St. Louis platform .reaffirmed this. The only protection so far furnished against Mexican out rage has been futile protest, unless the Vera Crux fiasco and the "pursuit" of Villa be in cluded as "military demonstrations." Secretary Lansing's latest "sharp" note to Carranza did not achieve the result sought; Consul Jenkins was liberated when bail was furnished, and only then. Mr. Wilson is right in his belief that the president should direct foreign affairs, but he also should direct them a little more in the way of giving to American citizens the protection he promised when he accepted the Baltimore and St. Louis platforms as pledges to the people. Between McKinley and Wilson. . some democrats m vvasnington, ana pre sumably elsewhere throughout the country, are trying to extract some consolation from a com parison between Presidents McKinley and Wil son with regard to their attitude on foreign commerce." Quoting from the last, speech de livered by McKinley, at the Buffalo exposition, w-here he was assassinated, these pretend to find justification for the position taken by, Wil son in his recent message to congress, f For -the matter of that, a similar resemblance might be discovered in the state papers of any president dealing with the same topic Not one in the long line has deliberately sought to dis courage exportation of American surplus, and each has encouraged the development of home industry to a point where we may command the commerce of the world. But there is an essen tial difference between the presidents as they fall into groups, marked by a definite policy. McKialey is in one of the these add Wilson ia the other. 1 . " McKinely was essentially a protectionist, and not at Buffalo or anywhere else did he utter sentiments or make proposals that warrant ihe suggestion that he was ready to abandon, or to moderate his views in this i respect. He urged the extension of i our foreign commerce, the ex portation of manufactures as well as raw ma terials, and took great pride in the fact that under his policy the factories of America had been built up to a point where they did have a surplus of output and that we could as a nation enter the commerce of the world as rivals of the other great manufacturing countries. ' Wilson is a free trader, and his notions of commercial intercourse are diametrically op posed to those of, McKinley. He is willing, even anxious, tojextend the commerce of his coun try, but it will be at the expense of throwing down the bars that now protect American work men and factories, and opening the home mar ket to the foreign producer on terms of equality with Americans. x Until the democrats can , harmonize these differences, it will do them little good to claim a likeness between the two presidents. i " . Modified Protocol Terms. , Word from Paris is to the effect that the terms of the protocol the Germans refused to sign are to be modifie. If this refers, as we understand it, to the demand for tonnage in lieu of that destroyed at Scapa Flow, there is much to be said on the German side. While the action of the German admiral there was one of treachery, and might in the extreme be alleged against the government of his c6untry, it re mains true that at the time German affairs were in a decidedly fluid condition, and no govern ment of absolute authority and responsibility existed. Therefore, to amersei the nation to the extent of shipping to replace that sent to the bottom by the guard crews'lacks something in equity. Especially is this so when we con sider that the Allies had almost agreed that the impounded battleships and other vessels were to be destroyed in the end. The German pro test has apparently been listened to by the com missioners at Paris, 'and a readjustment will be made along lines that may be more reasonably met by the losers. Wisdom lies in this direction. A Church and Its Rector. J Believing that each church congregation or parish is sufficient unto itself in the matter of selecting and retaining its own pastor, The Bee carefully refrains from discussing such rela tions. It can not, however, withhold its com mendation of the course pursued by the vestry and congregation of All Saints in declining to accept the resignation of Thomas J. Mackay. In doing this the church has honored itself. It is true that Mr. Mackay feels, the great burden of the large parish is too much for him in his en feebled health, but it is equally true his parish ioners realize this as well as he does, and in stead xof allowing him to go from the pulpit he has so long adorned, to lay down the work he has administered with such devoted tenderness and wondrous justice, theypropose he be relieved of such part of the work as may be turned over to a younger man, while retaining his indis soluble relations with his people. The cause of religion in Omaha will sustain a great loss when Mr. Mackay no longer lifts his voice to advise or to comfort The "magic town" of 2f itro has been sold for one-ninth of what.it cost the government, but that is no reason to think the buyers did not pay all it was worth. It should long be pre served as a monument to the extravagance that marked the war. Science and Safety in Air Travel , ' From the London Times. Will the aerial mail service, when its or ganization has been improved, still continue to be interrupted by such adverse weather as, dur ing the past week, prevented on several days the flying of the mail machines between Lon don and Paris? Asked this question the other day by a representative of the Times, Mr Holt Thomas, whose high-speed Airco biplanes carry the London-Paris mail, replied with an em phatic "No." At present, he explained, we are flying daily over what is, to a large extent, still an unor ganized route; and it is no exaggeration at alt to say that, when all the organization which we are busily preparing is brought actually into play, as it will be before we have to encounter another winter, sffch conditions as prevented Lieutenant McMullin from getting through to Paris on the first day of the air-mail last Mon day will have no adverse effect at all on the flying of a machine, either from the point of view of safety or of adhering to scheduled time. Wireless telegraphy will help us enormous ly; and-we have now the services of one of the most practical experts ift this country, who is concentrating his attention exclusively on the question as to how directional wireless and the wireless telephone may be made to help us in regular daily flying, and to overcome such dif ficulties as at present cause delay.- We are be ginning to equip our machines, for example, with an improved wireless telephone apparatus, and our pilots at Hounslow, in their spare time, are learning to use the instruments so readily that it becomes second nature to them to do so. When we have this system working properly it will mean that during our hours of flying, say from 12 o'clock to 4 p. m., every land operator will be listening for messages from the air, and a pilot, having set out, say, from Hounslow, and wishing to know exactly what the weather is like in the channel, will simply take up his re ceiver and call "Hello,. Lympne." All the other stations on the airway will hear, but only Lympne will reply, and in a moment the pilot will be given the information he requires. It will also be quite easy for one pilot to speak to another while two machines are in flight. In each machine, also, we shall place a light telescopic mast- This will be jointed, and will lie in the fuselage without taking up any room. But should a pilot have to make a compulsory descent he will on alighting take out his mast, joint it together, and place the "aerial" of his wireless telephone on the top of it. Then, when he has raised this mast and stuck the end of it in the ground it will be about 30 feet high when fully extended he will be able to call up the nearest aerodrome on his wireless telephone and tell them just what field he is down in and what his trouble is. In such a case, if a man cannot ascend again quickly, we shall send another machine to him from the nearest relief point, which will take on his mails. We shall soon have a system, both On the English and French sections of the router whereby a pilot wh6 has a forced landing can get into touch immediately with the nearest land agent of the service, who will take over his mails at once and send them on their way in a , fast motorcycle. - , Land transport is also helping us to the ex tent that, should a load of urgent air-mails reach a wayside railway station from any ma chine which has made a compulsory descent near by, it will be permissible to stop the next express train and put the mails on board. It is our aim, in fact, now we are carrying his ma jesty's mails, and while we are buying our ex perience and perfecting our organization, to en sure that, even should an aerial journey be in terrupted on any stage, we are still able to send the mail bags through tentheir destination faster than would be possible by any ordinary means. The point is now demonstrated very clearly that, with a skilled pilot and a fast machine, the only sort of atmospheric condition which seriously interrupts flying is such as we en counter sometimes on a bad November day, when an opaque mist, beginning almost at ground level, may extend upward, in an un broken mass, to an altitude of something like 10,000 feet. , Such a day, with this pall of mist stretching over practically the entire route be tween London and Paris, we were unfortunate enough to encounter on Monday last. Only a little time ago the very thought of even at temptingja flight under such conditions would have been pronounced madness.' But our pilot with eight bags of mail, left Hounslow on time and, flying below the heavy banks of mist, man aged to get as far as Epsom Downs. But here a veritable wall of mist rested upon, and en shrouded the tops of the hills. A pilot in an aerpolane, flying on through a' thick mist, is as unhappy as a pedestrian in a dense fog only more so. Not only is there the question of finding his way, but he is faced also by the embarrassing fact" that, through not being able to turn-his eye upon any horizon line, he cannot judge the attitude or inclination of his machine in relation to the ground below, with the result that he may get into a side-slip or spin, and find suddenly that his machine has passed out of his control a condition of affairs which may spell extreme peril, seeing that he may come into violent contact with the ground before he has time to recover his control over his machine. This being so, and the weather being what it was, our pilot was wise in returning to Hounslow before instead of plunging blindly on in a machine traveling at tne rate of more than 100 miles an hour. J mention this case spe cially, because such weather represents about the only condition now which really troubles. us, and I also want to describe, quite briefly, how we now feel sure that even such weather, which may stop us during our experimental flying in the winter of 1919-20, will not do so when we have the organization we shall have perfected Dy me winter oi iyu-i. , I Let us assume that a pilot, flying on an or ganized airway, is faced by conditions such as interrupted Lieutenant McMullin's flight The whole point, as I have said, is not represented by any inability of the aeroplane as a machine to go on flying. 1 The fact is merely that visibil ity, is so bad that the pilot is practically a blind man. What, then, can science and organization do? In the first place, it may be expected to give us an improved and perfected system of directional wireless, the installation of which upon aeroplanes and at terminal ground sta tions will mean, without going into details, that a machine flying, say, from London to Paris, will be guided infallibly upon its course by the wireless signals it receives from a transmitting station at the Paris end. Irrespective of mist or fog, or whether the pilot can see land marks or not, he will be receiving constant signals in his machine by which he will be able to detect instantly should he have veered in any way from his predetermined course. Then we expect very soon to have improved considerably the instruments in a machine which tell its pilot its altitude and inclination when he is deprived by fog or cloud of an hori zon line. Then, as yet another point we are working on the question of lighting aerdromes and landing grounds so that a pilot can make a safe contact with the ground even when the air is heavily obscured. This is, of course, a point of capital importance. It is not enough to guide a man accurately while he is flying in misty weather. You must be able to ensure him also a safe alighting., , Goggles for Auto Drivers. A new style of goggles specially designed to prevent the automobile driver from becoming dazzled, has the right-hand side of each lens colored. When blinding headlights come along the driver has only to turn his head slightly to the left and his eyes are at once protected from the dazzling glare while .he sjill has the clear part of the goggles to keep an eye on the road. ' Zffie&eei From "Nonpartisan" Viewpoint. Crofton, Neb., Nov. 18. To' the Editor of The Bee: In the issue of The Bee November 21 there is an editorial entitled "Farmers and Good Government." This editorial con sists of flattery, misleading state ment and an ostrich-like avoidance of real facts and actual conditions. . The first paragraph has this state ment:, 'They discountenance 'con tentions and sh-lVes that disturb peace and halt prosperity, pledging aid to the government in its efforts to support law and order and calling for a square deal for both capital and labor.' " True. And when capital refuses a square deal to labor, then the farmers consider a etrlke Justi fied. The farmers have never struck in the past, patiently plodding along under intolerable conditions, but now they are being aroused and are de manding Justice. For centuries the farmers and their families have been, and still are, overworked and under paid, i When wheat mounted to M a bushel city dwellers sincerely be lieved that farmers were making vast profits, whereas all farm ma chinery and wages rose so much higher In proportion that the farmer had little or no profit left The farmers are the only class which is dictated to in both buying and sell ing. The farmer is told how much, or rather how little, he shall receive for whatever he raises and how (very) much he shall pay for what ever he buys. If the farmers do not receive better prices for their prod ucts, to enable them to live comfort ably and decently, why shouldn't they strlks? The editorial states: "Tje farmers of this state are ac tively planning for another great campaign for food production, to add to the world, as they have for many years past another half billion of material wealth, drawn from the soil by industrious toil intelligently di rected." Who gets that half bil lion? Certainly not the farmers! And how do you know what the farmers plan for the coming year? What if the farmers should get to gether and say, "We do not receive any profit from our toll; we prefer to work eight to ten hours a day instead of having a 16-hour day; let us cut down the number of acres planted and sown to grain and seed down the. remaining land; raise, less live stock and thus compel fair prices to be paid for our products?" If the farmers should strike thus, and they will if their wrongs are not righted, the people would learn the horror of famine and starvation. Those who want to be better posted should read the interesting article entitled "Suppose the Farmer Should Strike," printed in the Coun try Gentleman, October 25. The city dweller who paye 90 cents per dozen for eggs thinks that the farmers are making money, but fails to realize that the farmers reoeive only 40 cents a dozen for those same pgKS. There are too many middle men between producer and con sumer. The middleman is the de testable cootie of the human race and must be stamped out of exist ence. Here is an instance of a human cootie: An implement dealer, to save money for his customers, the farm ers, always ordered direct from his wholesale firm, thus saving the ex penses of a traveling salesman. Oc casionally that firm's traveling sales man came to this dealer, requesting the order which, he never received. One day he said tOk the dealer: "Look here, why don't you order through me?" The dealer replied: "Because by ordering direct from the firm I get a big discount and I am thus able to sell the implements at lower prices to the farmers." The salesman said: "If I were you I wouldn't be con cerned in the least about the farmers and the prices they have to pay. What is the difference to you if I make money on these orders? liet the farmers pay the higher prices." The dealer answered: "This is the difference. I deal with the farmers; you don't. The farmers sometimes have it hard enough as it is to pay fair prices for farm implements with out having the expenses of a travel ing salesman added to the prices of the Implements. Tou do not benefit me, the firm nor the farmers. I'll just keep on ordering direct from the firm." The editorial says that the "Town ley crew" made "persistent and in tensive campaign to sow discord and dissension among the farmers." If by the "Towney crew" is meant the nonpartisan league, let me state that its object is to weld the farmers and laborers together into a strong or ganization and in this the league is succeeding splendidly. The next statement in the edi torial is this: "The Plumb plan par ticularly has been recommended to them and their support for it eagerly sought." Who recommended it? The editorial tries to make It appear that the Plumb, plan was recom mended by that "Townley crew," when such is not thfi case. It is time that ,the big newspapers, like The Bee, looked facte squarely in the face and gave the public the actual For Boys to Make Handicraft A Burnt-Wood Bookstand, By GRANT M. HYDE. With Christmas approaching, the tool chest may be brought into serv ice for the making of useful gifts for members of the family. Here's one for father, for instance a con venient stand to holvj the books on his table or desk. The carpentry on the bookstand is simple, it must be carefully done; the hardest work is the decor ating. Secure at the lumber yard a good oak or birch board, dressed on both sides, ?.in. thick, at least 7 in. wide, and at least 42 in. long. The bottom of the stand (A) should be about 7x18 in., carefully planed on all edges and smoothed with sandpaper. The grooves to hold the For Girls to Make Homecraft " - T - a. -I i I .Ji , V$ 1 -W------"T IWrflirie tool end-pieces XB and C) should be 2 in. from its ends, Vi in. wide snd sunk H in. Cut them with a fine cross-cut saw and a sharp chisel. As B and C will be made from the same boardlay out the work as shown in the plan and cut the grooves as well as the tops of B and C before the end pieces are sawed off. This will avoid splitting. After B and C are shaped, sawed off, and finished with sandpaper, sketch your proposed decorations on their exposed sides, and burn the design into them with a red-hot nail, as described later. Then fasten them into the grooves with glue or with countersunk screws through A. Then finish, either with two coats of varnish, or better with a coat of shellac and, a thorough waxing with floor wax rubbed- in and polished. How to Make Burning Awls. For such burnt-wood decorations, as well as for burning holes in small work, you can easily make a set of burning awls, securing various sizes by using nails of different sizes, as follows: Cut about 4 in. from the handle of an old broom, whittle one end down to a taper and drive a nail partway into the tapered end. Then file off the nailhead ancLshape it into a fairly sharp point. The awls should range from shingle nails to spikes. To use them, heat the nail-point red-hot on the gas, stove. For this decorating work, use two awls, keeping one in the flame while you use the other, for they will cool rapidly. Practice on some waste wood before you begin on the book stand. - s (Next week: '"A Creper for Father's Garage.") Boyo and Glrlo" Newspaper Service ' Copyright, 19U by J. H. Millar. Home Made Christmas Gifts. By CAROLYN 8. BAILST. Do you want to beat the high cost of Christmas this year by mak ing with your own hands all the presents that you give? You can do just that thing, if you begin your Christmas gifts today. That New Skating Scarf. How pretty, and stylish they are, and how they do cost if you buy them? But you are going to make one for your friend who loves out doors even in -the wintertime. Use coarse wool and large bone or am ber knitting needles. Cast on enough stitches to make the scarf about 20 inches wide. Knit it loose ly with the same plain stitch that you would use for a washcloth, and make it long enough to come well below the waist.. Knit in a plain border of a contrasting color at the ends, and crochet fringe to finish it A green scarf may have a bor der of crimson, a gray.one of rose. Jewelled Hat Pins. Use an ordinary hat pin and seal ing wax of a neutral color. Heat the wax over a candle, and as it melts, shape it over the head of the hat pin until the head is of the size that you wish. Then, 'before the sealing wax has hardened, decorate the head of the pin with as attrac- truth in a straightforward manner, not so twisted and distorted that it becomes a falsehood. If this letter is not printed, and completely, without any omissions, I will know that it is because The Bee is not so fair and Independent as it would have its readers believe. MRS. VICTOR WALTER.
