Danger From MOSQUITOES.

The most dangerous Of the biting in.
sects is said by most entomologlsts to
be the mosquito, and the species which
Is the chief carrier Of malaria is found
very widely distributed throughout the
world. AS rule individuals do not
wander far on their own account, but
they can be blown considerable dis
tances by wind, and they have a
habit of travelling about in trains and
ships. The female hibernates through
out the winter, and, it Is reported, has
been found under the frozen SHOWS of
Siberia, mingled with the moss and
snow.

canada's Astonishing Command.

The action Of the Canadian government in
putting the ban on group Of American news
papers, whose editors have offended John Bull,
is one Of the little sideiishts Of the war that in
some way relieve its tragedy. 1t Is scarcely
credible that the authorities Of the Dominion be-
ieve that by this action they have altered the
course Of the war, or will influence the express
sions OF the editors who are thus excluded from
hearing in Canada. On the contrary, it is al
most equivalent to an admission that the publ
cations now communicated had some effect on
the people OF Canada, who have been looked upon
as ultra-oyal and beyond the possibility of dis
affection, no matter who undertook to spread Sc
dtion among thenl OF course, the officials over
there find it hard to brook the criticisms of their
conduct, and may have some justification for the
allegations Of Misrepresentation they make, but
they ought to understand that In a country so
thoroughly democratic - Canada, the surest way
to gain hearing for an individual or publication
is to deny the right Of uttefance. Forbiddng the
citizens to read certain newspaper Il more likely
to increase the prestige Of that newspaper among
those who might be reached by its statements or
arguments. From this distance Il strikes dis
interested observer that abe Ottawa authorities

Education In Nebraska.

The presence in Omaha during the last week
Of the public school teachers of Nebraska was
overshadowed to some extent in public attention
by the unusual conditions following the presi-
dental election So far as this is concerned the
convention would have suffered from the same
cause, no matter where II met. But this should
not in any way detract from the main fact, that
the convention was held, and that It's several
sessions. and especially its department meetings
were attended by men and women deeply con-
cerned in the work Of spreading enlightenment.
Topics presented and discussions held involved
matters OF technical importance and general ap-
plcation, and evinced the high purpose Of the
educators Of the state. Nebraska holds justi-
fable pride in its school system, the results Of
which are reflected In Its rank among the fore
most in literacy and the exceptional quality of
Its citizenship. This standard will be maintained
so long as the people Of the state recognize the
vital connection between the school teacher and
the training Of the boys and girls who are to be
the citizens Of the future. From this point it
may be seen that no more important gathering
comes to Omaha than the convention OF the
teachers, who will resume their work all the bet.
ter qualified because Of their conference and ex.
change OF ideas.

Nsbraska's Huge Harvest.

The summary Of Nebraska's principal crops
compiled by the federal bureau OF crop estimates
vary but little from the estimates of the State
Board Of Agriculture and the report compiled
By the United States National bank of Omaha.
OF the three the federal estimate gives the state
higher rank in corn production, lo4,000,OOG bush.
els, only 100000 bushels below the record
crop OF 1915. and slightly reduces home reports
on wheat and oats The margin OF los; COM
pared with last years totals is insignificant be.
side the higher value OF this years crop. The
bank report for 1915 placed the aggregate value
Of all soil products at $32J,033,s44 and for 1916
at S34l740.000. a net increase OF $l80OO,0OO. In
itself the gain constitutes juicy dividend on
farm investments.
The increased turnover ON a reduced crop
comes from an advance Of rs cents in the price
Of wheat over last year, IS cents In corn. IS
cents in oats. IS cents per bushel in potatoes
and proportionate gains in lesser crops.
Comparative figures for 1916 are not at hand

The Marvel of II All.

What all amazing spectacle the United States
must have presented to the unlocking world dur
ing the past week! Here in this vast land, with
a hundred million inhabitants, an election was
held that was to determine not only the identity
OF the chief magistrate and those who should as
sist him in ruling the nation for the next four
years, but also the policies which should govern
their administration, and this election was so
close that the result swung in doubt for four
days. Yet nowhere was there any manifestation
OF lawlessness or disorder, nor any serious sug-
gestion Of anything but submission to the ver-
dict OF the ballot box as soon as it should be
definitely and officially known.
In what other country in the world could
counterpart Of such condition prevail under
similar circumstances In the so-called Latin
lands, as everyone knows, -cven where the forms
of popular government prevail no ordinary con-
test for political supremacy ever takes place with
out violence-rnore often il transforms itself
into actual revolution. In the countries OF Eu-
rope where popular elections have been super
imposed upon monarchcal traditions an election
as close as ours with the same orderness and
amiablc acceptance of results is rare. In no Eu-
ropean country does single ballot-box judg-
mcnt decide the character Of the government, ma
tional, state and local, as does ours.
1t all comes back, therefore, to the substan-
tal hrmness Of the foundation upon which our
popular government rests and the training OF
our citizenship to carry out in good faith the
constitution and laws WHICH they have made for
themselves and merely to await the next turn
when they find they have made mistakes. The
very greatest marvel is that all our people, the
newcomers from Europe, as we'll as those born
and raised here. adapt themselves so fully to
these essential requirements Of seif-government.

These dates come at the beginning and end

Boston Transcript: Whenever a minister
Of any of our Christian churches sets out to
discover explanations why the people Of to-
day seem SO amazingly hard to reach by
religion, whereas, a century ago they clam
ored at the doors Of the churches. he can
discover a series Of causes. Many Of them
will lay the onus on the people. on the in
creasing materiaism of their lives, and on
their loss of reverence for authority. And
these may be rightly alleged as contributing
causes. But the great. the underlying re-
sponsibility still lies on the church itself.
In its charge Is lodged the task of construc-
ton. an: if it is failing of constructive appeal
to the masses its first duty is to look to
its own methods and materials.
