A SAD CHRISTMAS FOR MANY

Christmas will be anything but a
glad and happy day to hundreds of
homes. The past week has been mark
ed by an unusually large number OF
accidents. There have been fires at
Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Chicago,
In each of which firemen have been
killed and wounded; there was the ex-
plosion in the New York Central pow
er house IN New York, and then, final
ly, there was the terrible explosion in
the Little Hutton mine in England,
costing the lives of almost four hun
dred miners
Most OF the men killed in these acct
dents leave little, II anything, in the
way OF provision for their families.
The American cities in which the fire.
men gave their lives for the protection
of the people are arranging to raise
purses for the surviving widows and
children. Thousands OF citizens whose
property has been saved from destruc-
tion ought to be only too glad TO con-
tribute TO this fund. Chieftain.

SHORTY M,CABE.

Have you made the acquaintance of
the latest in American humor-Sewell
Ford's Shorty McCabe" and TOR
chyr stories? II not. you are missing
a heap of fun. Thousands of men buy
the Sunday issue of The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald Just for the laughs they
get out OF this one famous feature. or,
rather, these two alternating features.
for Shorty and Torchy are now ap-
pearing on alternate Sundays. One
is as funny as the other.
Sewell Ford is a humorist-the real
thing-and he beats George Ade and
Mr.. Dooley in the art of telling good
story. 1t is a genuine story every
time. with hilariously funny plot
and with characters that are alive and
kicking.
Shorty McCabe and his better half,
Sadie. with their laughabls adventures
in New York society can be found and
enjoyed only in the Sunday Magazine
of The Record-Herald. whose editor
has the honor OF having discovered
Sewell Ford's powers as a humorist-
The same is true OF Torchey. the red
headed Office boy OF merry fame. This
unique magazine is filled with good
fiction and timely articles every Sun
day. but nothing seems able to over
shadow the perennial interest of the
Shorty and Torchey yarns. which ap-
pear in every issue throu-hout the
year. Wherever you go you hear peo-
pie talking and laughing over them.
It begins to be question whether
Shorty McCabe is not the most popu-
lar person in the United States.

Sr.iGg. ttl''iAAGEMEnT

Denver, Dec. 24.-Superintendents
of schools in some counties of Colo
RADIO are required to travel from 5000
TO 1000 miles to visit all the institu
tons once a year. and some of them
receive salaries amounting to from
500 to $500 per annum. This is the
statement made by Mrs. Katherine NJ.
Cook. state superintendent OF public
instruction. in her biennial report She
says the citizens of the state must
awake to the necessity OF giving more
attention to rural schools.
Mrs. Cook recommends that school
districts be abolished and that the
control of the schools be- under the
whole county under the direction OF
central board. She deplores the
system OF electing county superinten-/
dents and declares that even the state
superintendents should be appointed
by the governor or n state board of
education. She thinks a state super
intendent should be a person engaged
in school work with FIVE years actual
experience, chosen for fitness and abil-
fly and not for political sagacity.
In thirteen counties the superinten-
dents are paid $500. in ten counties
$500. in sixteen counties s1.1oo. In ten
counties 81 200. In five counties $1,000.
and In three counties s2.soo annually.
Two-thirds OF the counties pay an
nually salaries not exceeding s1.ioo.

Shoes" He says that pair of
boots which have been worn ior
two months will reveal 10 him the
age, social position, personal ha-
bits and even the moral character
of the wearer. The economical
man, the vain woman, the slouchy
person of either sex, the taker of
constitutionals all these are easy
to recognize.

COSgrOveS weekly.
A direct primary law is not in
itself cure for political ills, it is
merely AL opportunity to mitigate
and to finally exterminate the mon-
sters.
True, direct primary laws place
in the peoples hands directly the
use of political power in selecting
their servants, provided-aud here
is the point.
But what good is this if the peo-
pie lack knowledge of political
progress, if the people can be ill.,
Husnced by fear or by favor; if the
people are corrupt or can be cor
rupted by the lure of special bene-
fits from the government; if the
people doggedIy insist that the
party" is to be preserved against
all reforms, all rights?
The machine can use and direct
a primary election, not SO well per.
haps as it did the convention plan
Of selection, but well enough to
control results.
The machine makes states, sees
that the names are on the ballot,
while the public hopes and expects
the law to be self operative.
A direct primary law will not of
itself further political reform. To
secure that end voters must trou.
BILE themselves to have popular
candidates petitions properly filed.
The machine does that for its
creatures, for the machine has
something more than political
ideals at stake.
Moral: Vigilance or orgauiza-
ton alone vitalize a dirict primary
law.

A Mixed Situation in New York.
IN. D. Daley States)

At the present time the political
situation in New York State is de-
cidedly mixed, both for the Rspu-
blican and Democratic parties, and
it will not begin to clear until the
nominations of candidates for Gov
ernor are made. Meanwhile Viii.
liam r. Hearst, with an unknown
number of followers in his In
dependence League, is waiting to
allay himself with tho organiza-
ton which seems to have the best
chances of success in the Novem-
Der election.
On the Republican side the COM
plications are numerous and trou-
blesome, because most Of the lead
ers of the party organization are
opposed TO any primary legislation
while Taft, Roosevelt and Cover
nor Hughes are in favor of it. The
New York Press warns the party
leaders that the popularity OF d.
rect nominations is 80 widespread
and Intense that it would be worth
all enormous number OF votes for
the Republican party to take
stand in favor of popular rule and
against boss rule.
while the people," it says,
"caunot hope for any progress un-
der a democracy dominated by
Tammany, they may, nevertheless,
vote to punish the party in power
for it's failure to respond to sentl-
ment which has found such strik-
lug expression through Republi-
can leaders, for its refusal to CON-
ply with q demand with the peo-
pie hoped would be met by the
party"
The Democrats also have some
troubles Of their own, but they are
not as many or as serious as those
of their Republican opponents.
The organization known as the
Progressive Democracy are oppo-
sed to the control Of the party by
such men as Shepard and Herrick,
who are classe,l as "old hacks"
and tho threat is made that If these
men influence tho nomination of
the candidate for Governor and
prepare the platform the party will
be fought at the polls. How strong
the progressives are numerically
is not known, but there ls no rea-
son TO believe that they are any
stronger than Hearts Indepen-
dence League, which made ra-
thsr ridiculous showing in the ns-
tioual election in 1908. However,
the Progressives declare their
willingness to unite with the regu-
lar Democratic organization in
the event that Mayor Gaynor is
nominated as the partys candidate
for Governor, and at the present
time the indications are that lie
will head the Democratic ticket
As a matter of fact it is conceded
that if he consents to make the
race for the Governorship no 9TH
er name will be mentioned in the
convention.

Dispatches from Crowley say
"The police jury met in regular
session this morning at the
Court house, and among some of
the matters that came up for con-
sideration was the petition, with a
great many signatures, asking that
body to call an election for the
purpose of voting on tie question
of granting license for the sale of
intoxicating liquors. The petition
was passed upon, aud the election
WAS ordered to be held in Novem-
Der, at the same time that the con-
gressional election will take place.
This parish voted prohibition two
years ago by majority of about
235. The two-year test given to
prohibition has made friends ne
we'll as enemies, and it will require
another election to determine
which is in the lead.
