INSECT INVENTORS.
Clever Thlnss Done by Spiders, 5eeo,
 Wasps and Anto.

Wasps and Ants.
 ''The best commentary perhaps on such a sentence as The inventor Is just c clairYoyant who translates bis forecastings to castings is that among our greatest inventors are the insects" writes James A. Ford in America. "As a warning reflection on human clever ness these insect inventors should not be forgotten. The wasp made ex- cellent waterproof paper ages before man ever thought of doing so, and made it from wood pulp. We have been using that material only for couple of generations.
 "The bee and the wasp used hypo- dermlc needles long before man ever thought of them, and the bee uses formic acid as an antiseptic to pre- serve its honey from fermentation.
 "The spider made the first suspen- sion bridge according to all the rules of the craft, and some spiders make excellent airships. One of them even makes a diving bell
 "The bee makes a wax that we can not initiate.
 "The silkworm Is still the unrlvaled manufacturer of silk.
 "To these we might add the ant, which makes tunnels and subways: the mason bee, with it's cement work, and the great peacock moth, which calls It's kind from distance by wire less telegraphy. But to complete the story we should have to reprint Henri Fabre's books"

Closing Act Of the Farce.

The conference" between commissioners Of
the United States and Mexico over joint policy
to be pursued with reference to the control Of
our southern border, is about to end. No real
progress has been made and the blame for fail
IRE is inferentially placed on the Mexicans, who
resolutely decline to conccde the main point de-
handed by President Wilson's representatives
This ending was foreshadowed weeks ago, but
was held back pending the election, that the
peace plea might not be made the less efficient
through the effect Of the last act of this farce
now waiting for the final curtain.
Administration adherents admit Carranza's
failure as pacihcator Of his people, but weakly
say they do not see the alternative Those who
have soberly warned against the muddling meth
DDS of the president from the beginning can des-
cry one possible alternative, made imperative, If
we are to be assured Of quiet along the border,
and the Mexicans are to have order restored.
That course is active but friendly Intervention
If Mr.. Wilson will make good on any one
Of four solemn warnings sent to the Mexicans
within the last eighteen months, we may look
for peace and safety where now we have an
army on watch to protect our people from muir
derous bands who have prospered under watch

Woman Leads In Air Flight.

The feat Of Miss Anna Law. who has just es-
tablished new world record for long distance
continuous fight in an aeropane, is not the least
among woman's achievements in her new rela-
ton as mans competitor. Aside from the serious
considerations Of skill and endurance required to
accomplish this arduous undertaking, the fight
record Is Of great importance to aviation. Each
new, step adds to the total Of knowledge on which
must be based the success Of the future, and af-
fcrds also an incentive to greater endeavor, which
in turn will make more certain the utilization Of
flying machines. The present activity in aerial
navigation may lead to restoration of suprem-
acy n the air to the United States, where the
secret Of fight was discovered. In Europe the
adaptability Of the airship as weapon Of war
is being demonstrated, but surely the science has
other uses, and these Americans should discover.
Woman now leads in the long distance fight
record. but she may be sure that man will pur-
sue her in the air as eagerly as he does on earth

Nothing to Take Back.

in Omaha, as in Lincoln, the newspaper
campaign against Senator Hitchcock was such
as to disgust intelligent readers. 1t was such
as to win for the targets OF the unfair news
papers the sympathy Of fairminded men,
World-Herald.
Although The Bee was disposed to draw the
curtain on the campaign so far as II concerned
the individual candidates Senator Htchcoeks
organ does not seem satisfied with the senator S
victory for which it shuddered up to the close
Of the voting in the cold sweat of scare and de-
spair, and with the supreme essence Of gall it
tries to tell opposing papers how misdirected was
their drive although knowing full we'll that the
senator was saved only by his successful feat
of coat-tail hanging upon Wilson.
So far as The Bee is concerned, our campaign
against the return of democratic senator from
Nebraska was straightforward and strictly con-
fined to matters properly at issue. The Bee did
not 60 back OF the official record which Senator
Hitchcock had made in his six years as senator
he record upon which he was seeking endorse
rnent. We pointed out how, in his tariff votes,
he had sacrificed all the products of Nebraska.
We repeated the charges publicly preferred
against him by President Wilson's secretary Of
state-charges that branded him tool OF Wall
street and traitor to the president and his
party. We recalled how he sought to tickle
the Germans" by big promise but not perform
ance, and we showed up his alliance with the
"wets," whose help he took, but did not recip-
rocate. We also emphasized the numerous losses
Of federal activities Omaha had sustained since
we had to depend upon democratic representatives
at Washington. The Bee deliberately refrained,
however, from taking up the personal, as dis
tnguished from the official, character Of the can
didate or going into certain decidedly unsavory
phases of the official record prior to his eleva-
ton to the senate.
Wherein was this campaign disgusting to
fair-minded menu What different campaign
should have been waged to keep within the lines
Of fairnessi Was this campaign neffective7 We
think not We admit it was ineffective in the
Third ward in Omaha, where, with the help Of
slathers Of wet money, Hitchcock distanced
his competitor nearly three to one; but proof
that It was effective here in Douglas county lies
IN reducing the last Hitchcock majority of over
1000 to less than one-half Of that figure. Proof
that was effective in the state is seen in cutting
down the Hitchcock majority Of six years ago
more than third and in keeping the senator,
with all his wet money, bank backing and Ger
man support down to little over one-fourth the
plurality rolled up by Wilson.
While accepting the verdict Of the ballot box
In the spirit that every patriotic citizen should ac-
cept it. The Bee has nothing to take back and no
apologies to offer.

In his formal proclamation setting aside the

Walnut, Ia, Nov. 20.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: Omaha is to be COM
mended upon the fact that It has a
reducer for the high cost OF living in
the person Of A. b. Mickle. II l were
a resident of Omaha | would recon-
mend him to Douglas county as an
excellent candidate for overseer OF the
county farm. Just think OF all the
money he could save the county. At
ter a short time the county would
have no expense at all, except a few
undertakers bills. Read conversation
between Mr.. Bundle and Mr.. Sower-
berry in chapter four Of Oliver Twist
by Dickens.
Why couldn't Mr.. Mickle make the
cheese last even longer? He could
cut up the pound In seven parts and
then, divide each seventh part into
seven parts again, making forty-nine
pieces of cheese. Then eat one piece
per night himself, consequently max
ing pound last seven weeks instead
Of one. Substitute fresh water for
cheese for the rest of the family, and
save on the cheese bill.
As for the weevils, they are good for
chickens, 80 why not for human be-
ings? Therefore a saving Is made by
buying weevil oatmeal, a combina-
ton of meat and cereal.

The Man Who Made Mars

The plays and novels that deal with the sup
posed mythical or actual inhabitants OF Mars
would have had small vogue with the public had
not the late Percival Lowell the astronomer
who comes of as distinguished family as this
country has ever produced, made the planet and
the possibilities of life on it a household word
When one remembers that the old-fashioned de-
scriptiye astronomy by most astronomers was
made slightly more attractive than the reconcile
mathematical astronomy closed book to all ex-
cept the specialists and also that the fascination
OF astrophysical, by which the remotest bounds
Of the universe are sensed, as It were and anal
yzed, is Of recent development the fact that
fercival Lowell interested two continents In
what he OWNED might be going on in Mars,
bringing the planet home to US as sort Of sister
state, is tribute to his captivating way Of stat
ing dry telescope fact and physical theories
Moreover the great discoveries in solar
physics and in the constitution Of the universe,
IS represented by the fixed stars themselves,
blazing centers OF planetary systems of their
own, had rather directed tl.c popular mind away
from our own relatively insignificant solar sys-
tenn. But Lowell kept the public mind interested
IN the planet whose glowing ruddy disk was
feature Of the familiar heavens. An even il his
theories that life existed on the planet and that
the inhabitants had become the greatest irriga-
fion experts known to science are not accepted,
he did stir up The whole astronomical world
And, again. il the good seeing" Of the clear
