What The Bee Stands For:
1. Respect for the law and maintenance of
order. ,
2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime
through the regular operation of the
. courts.
3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of

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 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. '

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

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

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

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
