DANGEROUS INDUSTRIES IN CITIES

From the Philadelphia Press.
 Until the exact nature of the accident is known the specific blame cannot be placed, but, in general it is clear in all cities of the first-class with coBgested residence and business areas should be particularly careful to rule out dangerous industries. The making of powder, which is relegated to remote and carefully se- lected localities and carried on in specially adapted buildings, is not the only industry in which chemical combinations figure that may prove disastrous, and yet it is practically the only industry that is ex- cluded from a city's limits. With the great growth of modern industries, which, in certain processes, involve the possibility of explosion, it is clear the time has come for a recognition in state law and city ordinances of the new situation. Any other course simply invites fatalities

From the New York Tribune.
 Federico Degetau of San Juan has been elected the first delegate 10 Congress from the Island of Porto Rico to the United States.

He is member of several scientific and philan- thropic societies, and was one of the founders of the Societe Franchise pour fArbitrage entre Nations. MT Degetau has written several books.

Conoress May be Increased,

Many in Washington think the member be increased thirty, and that the basis of representation will be 194, 345. It is now l7S,- 90l. These odd numbers come about through the unwrtten law that a States list of members shall not be decreased, all though its proportional representation must be.
 A member to every 194345 would permit the sluggish States to retain their present number of representatives; but in order to do this thirty members must be added, thus bringing the membership of the House up to SS7 Arkansa, California, Colorado Con- necticut, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Massa- chusetts, Missippi, Missouri, North Caro- lima, North Dakota, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin would each gain member. Minnesota New Jersey and Pennsylvania would each gain two mem bers, while Illinois,, New York and Texas would each gain three members. Ala bama would have a fraction 79552 strong unrepresented
 A plan that does not humiliate any State has better chance of securing support than plan that does. It is therefore very likely that the House will be increased thirty members Alabama would gain some by the adoption of higher basis of rep resentation, but the loss in any event would not be material. There Is no chance 10 gain members for this State, and no chance 10 lose one. We are holding our own.

VOTES CAN CRUSH THE TRUSTS

From the St. Louis Republic.
 The American people have hard fight ahead of them. but they can win if they are sternly resolved to overcome the tre- mendous evil of the trust domination. Their votes can crush the trusts and their votes are the only power capable of this achieve ment. It is for the people to exercise their rightful power to the polls on November 6 to make certain the overthrow of the trusts and the party of the trusts.

WINTER AMONG lcEBsRcS.
An Oregonian Says That the Experienced
si Arc Not Unpleasant.

James Poole, formerly a Portland
real estate man. has returned from the
North, after n two years absence,
portion Of which time he was locked
in the ice on the shores of kotzebue
Sound. He left here in June, 1913, on
board the schooner General McPher-
son. Mr.. Poole's venture in tie North
has not proved a profitable one, as ne
left Nome ten days before the gold
beach excitement broke out. and has
not found it convenient to return to
that point, while Kotzebue. he says,
has proved q delusion and snare.
About SEQ adventuIcrs wlntered ut
KotZcbue after the rush thither, but
the place is now deserted except by
few hundred Eskimos, whose reg

port of Kotzebue's rich digginss arose
from the fact that the aborigines had
bartered nuggets for food and cloth
ing with the captains of whaling YES
sells visiting that region, but the gold
evidently had been picked up on the
shores of Nome, to the southward
some SEQ miles.
He said the sensation Of being in
closed by icebergs during long arc
tic winter was not so unpleasant as
one might imagine, as the days are
seldom less than six hours long, and
access to the shore is usually easy.
Tie General McPherson's decks We're

waves piled them up in parallel lines.
When the breakup comes in the
spring. sthe real danger to shipping is
in being carried out by the floating isl

From his acquaintance with the

to part with their own produce at
sacrifice in order to obtain it.

The Call of Christ.

There is no element il human life 50
pregnant with tragedy aS the power of
the human will to resist TIE appeal Of
Christ. 1t is possible to be within reach
of perfect gGuI ard not to see it. 1t is
possible to see. il and not desire it or so
desire it as to secure il. We would need
to be treated like sheep and be driven TO
our pasture: we are treated as inen. and
so we miss our way and lose our life.
For Christ will not uvernerSuade any
man. For the SucceSs of his appeal he
depends upon the conviction of the indi-
vidual. We must for ourselves reach
our own conclusions about him. Our
treatment TO the call of Christ is the
central determining act in our history, as
the fact of such Il call is its redeeming
factor. Nothing lifts human life to its
true level but this call. 1t is this which
gloriEes and gladdens our sad, defeated,
stained existence.
