Compared With Insects Mans Senses Are
Weak.
| In one of these essays made the
positive assertion that man is a crea-
| ton yet imperfect. A clergyman
| friend wrote to ask me If this were
not irreverent and on a par with
Huxleys claim that If he had been
| the creator he would have built a
better world.
| AS a matter of fact Huxley was
not impious, nor am irreverent.
| Man was created for a particular end
| by the Supreme Being, for His glori-
location. This purpose Is served by a
human race with five principal senses
and a dozen or so other sensations.
Yet If the Creator had so willed 1t
man could have been created in finite
perfection with over one thousand
principal senses. each the equal of
he eyes and the ears. Then to learn
and study that This Is the Life
l would have been an idle, lazy. pleas
ant dream. Instead of working
millennium or more to find out what
electricity and magnetism are, the
human tribe would have been equip
ped in the beginning with a sense for
such radiations among the thousand
odd missing ones Instead OF dew
ing, Seeking AhfeSli5dIAh6' u
would have perceived everything at
first hand.
More Perfect Eyes.
The distribution of the sense organs
in the number forms of life give us
every right to say with perfect rev.
erence that the human tribe lacks
many things. Some creatures have,
like the night itself, a thousand eyes,
each more perfect than ours. The
scallop, the curious little onchidium
mollusk, has veritable stream OF
eyes running like buttons up ana
down its back.
The stink bug and many other
beetles have a better sense OF war
than have the kaiser and his military
cohorts. When attacked, or even
touched, by an enemy, they turn
their broadside and shoot many little
streams of fetid acid from little bat
teries concealed in the middle portion
of their anatomy. If the enemy does
not beat a euffocating retreat, they
turn about, maneuver and bring the
other broadside into action. Ii the
enemy, still undaunted, persists in the
assault, another sense Is brought TO
bear and the insect bug felgns death
for many minutes-the time necessary
TO re-charge with ammunition Its
foul-smelling batteries.
It might be supposed that the ear Is
to be found only in one spot. While 1t
is true that many animals, like hu-
man beings, have ears on their heads,
vet the shrimp, the opossum shrimp
of inland brooks and rivers, has its
ears on Its tail.
Acutely Keen Ears.
The great green grasshopper, gone
these autumn days the sad ways Of
all who sing and play instead of
work, is often made a docile pet by
good little boys and big, bad natu-
ralists in August. At such a time
YOU wonder how he hears the music
of his mates. His ears are nowhere
to be found, search his head how you
will. If you know, you viii look
lust where his kneecap ought to be,
and there you will find his ears.
The grasshopper, cricket and To-
Gust tribes of insects are able to hear
much more than human beings. Their

THE RAILROADS. GROWING PROFITS.

Official figures from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission refute with crushing force the contention of
the Eastern railroads that their affairs getting
into shape because their freight rates too
low. 1t is shown that the net operating of
these roads September of this year was nearly
millions of dollars greater than for the same month
in 1913. Figures for the three months of this year.
ending with September also show increase of profit
over the same period of last year. although 1913 was
prosperous year for the railroads 1t begins to look
and more as II that rate increase would not be
granted.

AN ExrRALEGAL REFERENDUM.

A and curious device in American politics is
the unofficial referendum. The commission governing
Ridgewood In this State, made a bargain with the
Erie to build $4,000 station, the railroad and the
township to share the cost equally but the commits
sioners, who had full power to go ahead with the
improvement decided to first what the taxpayers
thought about 1t, they put the project into the
regular ballot election day, although there no
legal authority for this. 1t was approved by big
majority.
the general election by taking straw vote on the
question OF reducing cotton acreage But might not
ballot with extralega matter printed 1t be re-
garded as marked BALLOT" The Ridgewood refer
endum idea looks dangerous. Some candidate de-
feated by a small majority might take a notion to
have the whole vote of community thrown out be-
cause the official ballots had been used for make
believe election.

wilson's Triumph.

From the New York World.
The disposition Of our Republican
friends to exaggerate some Of the
minor details of the recent e.ections
may be attributed to pardonable en-
thusiasm, but even that is not an
excuse for downright mlsrepresenta-
ton. In spite OF Democratic reverses
In many States, there is absolutely
no reason to believe that the country
is committed anew to McKinleyism,
Hannaisn and -Aidrichism.
"Mr. Wilson's defeat In the second
year of his term" says the Tribune,
sis as crushing for all practical pur-
poses as were the mid-term defeats
that overlook President Taft in 1910
or President Harrison In 1890" This
is an error, appearing elsewhere as
il by concert, that should not pass
unchallenged.
When Mr.. Harrison took office in
1889 there was Republican House OF
representatives. Two years later, the
Mckinley bill having become a law,
he was confronted by House hay
ing Democratic majority OF ninety
four.
When MIR. Taft took offics in 1905
there was a Republican House OF
Represe statives. Two years later
the Payne-Aldrich betrayal having
taken place meantime, he met q
House having Democratic majority
of sixty-six.
In both of these cases the people
administered an emphatic rebuke tc
the president and his party. They did
mere than express displeasure. They
did all they could to reverse them
and their policies.
Mr. Wilson took office in 1913 witt
a Democratic Senate and House. Al
the principal result of the recen
elections nationally, he will have dur,
ing the latter half of his term the co
operation Of q Senate with an in
creased Democratic majority and I
House with Democratic majority o
at least twenty.
We do not believe that the Tribun,
itself will say that this is "a defea

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
NOVEM BER 6
Angelina Crimke
Copyrighted 1914.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Angelina Grlmke is one of the most
interesting of American women ever
born on November .. She Is one OF
the large number of women who
sprang into notoriety at the time Of
the Civil War or directly preceding it
because of their attitude on the sub
iect Of abolition. OF them all there
was none more sincere or more
estimable than the Quakeress An
gelina Grimke.
During her girlhood she passed a
secluded life on Southern planta-
ton. She was surrounded by Injuries
and was shielded from all care or
anxiety. When she was still very
young she and her sister became pos
sessed of a large fortune, which in
cluded a great number of slaves. The
Grimke sisters had been reading the
works of the Northern abolitionists.
and they thought much of the respon-
sibi.ity@ that rested on them in the
possession of their large fortune. Con-
WINGED of the rightness of the argu-
ments of the abolitionists. the sisters

whereas the great and useless ma
jority elected in 1912 was due In large
part to the schisms of Renuhira IS.
In Great Britain a responsible min
istry appealing to the people Lnat
gained a majority in the House of
Commons like that which is revealed
in the Sixty-fourth Congress would
regard it as an emphatic vote of
confidence. The administration of
President Wilson has received an
emphatic vote of confidence. and no
falsehood can obscure the fact. As
sured of public support, 1t should
confidence. Its past, at least, Is Sc
cure.
The Verdict.
From the Hartford Courant.
We were assured that the issue
was Wilson. Well, the verdict has
been rendered. The people do not
believe in the Democratic party. 1t
went into power by a minority vote
and after two years trial, 1t is re-
jected. 1t has never proved equal to
the task of governing the country. II
has failed again and the people say
so.
The result Of the election will be
to revive hope in the American peo-
pie. They see now that they are
In the way of being relieved Of the
grotesque incompetency that has
tried to deceive them In 80 many
ways. Butting into Mexico and de-
claring we were at peace with the
country; asking Switzerland to send
her navy to San Francisco; making
a treaty with little remote Persia, Il
assure US that she will not war with
US without notice; certifying t.
members of Congress by a rubber
stamp and at that certifying the
wrong man and asking him to return
his character to the White House,
knocking New England at every OPP
portunity; and entering on a policy
Of Buy Cheapest, whether you have
anything to buy with or not.
4 Well, we can see the end Of 1t now
! The people have spoken.

set their slaves free, sold their estate
and adopted the simple garb OF
Quakeresses.
Not content with this sacrifice for
the cause in which they believed, the
Grimke sisters went North and began
to preach the gospel of abolition. II
was in the days before it was con-
sidered fitting for woman to go on
the lecture platform, and the Grlmke
sisters had no desire to overstep the
conventions. They therefore, went
about giving drawing-room talks
throughout New England and the
Middle States. Angelina was gifted
with beauty and unusual magnetism,
and everywhere she went she won
great admiration. So great had been
the sacrifices of these sisters In
espousing this cause that no one
could doubt their perfect sincerity.
Contemporaries in speaking of An
gefna's speaking considered her one
of the most eloquent of women
speakers. Unlike her sister, Angelina
married, but not till she had reached
her thirty third year.

sense of hearing is finer than mans.
and the ancients wisely suspected
that they heard the music of the
spheres. 1t is said that the mills
of the gods grind slowly, but they
grind exceedingly fine. Well, the
rolling of the planets and stars do
the same, but man cannot with his
senses perceive it. Some I insects
may be able to do so.
Ants, too, have ears on their legs
instead of In their heads. Psycholog-
ical experiments are done nowadays
even by immature students, which
prove that rapid vibrations of va
rious kinds unheard and unperceived
by the human ear, are easily caught,
paid attention to and answered by
locusts, cicadas. grasshoppers, bee
ties, ants and others of Gods crea-
lures.
The freely, the electric eel, the
magnet fish, birds and bats with
their organs of equilibrium are all
equipped with different senses which
tell them directly of real things in
the physical world which man MT
never know. No man knows distinct
anything; all men will never know
all things distinctly. No one super
human will ever know all things dis
tinctly, and no man will ever know
even one thing distinctly.

minds us of the hold-up mans admoniton to his victim, "say moth.

as efforts are made to put discredited men in authority. The war is
on, there will be no turning back. Tn: few honest, good men who
are unwitingly lending themselves to the advancement of the
schemes of the bunch will be responsible tor the consequences
The men who are trying to uphold the honor and the good name of
the state ART just as resolute and are just as determined as the Revo-

shelter those who would besmirch the names of the sainted dead OF
our state and who would blacken the vaor of Mississippis soldiers
and her unsel6sh statesmen who have passed over the river. Let
the whole truth be told which in the end has never yet been denied
a triumph.
