Attempt to Make il Appear That the
Senior Senator Would Be Consult

loWans Causes Merriment.

Washington, d. c., March 17.-Al-
bert Sidney Burleson, the new post.
master general is a namesake OF Gen.
Albert Sidney Johnston, who com
manded the Army of Texas in the
Mexican war and later fell at the
head of the Confederate forces at Shi-
loh. Burleson is a democrat OF the
''Old Hickory" kind. He believes in
tho victors having the spells.
In making his recommendations for
appointments, Postmaster General
Burleson will act upon the indorse-
ments OF the democratic organizations
In the several states. He was a mem
Der of eight congresses from the
Tenth Texas district and he knows
what it means to a representative 20
have his recommendations acted upon
favorably and promptly. d.
That he could think OF only one
thing which would cause him to go
contrary TO the recommendation of a
representative with regard to an ap.
ment made by the postmaster general,
Us he talked OF his policy That
thing, he said, would be in the case
of n congressman who was unfriendly
to the administration and hostile to
the administration policies. Mr..
Burleson made 1t plain he did not
mean by this, anyone who had been
against Wilson prior to the Baltimore
convention.
This policy OF the Postoffice Depart

That Senators Cnmmins and Ken.
Won probably would be consulted by
President Wilson regarding federal
appointments to be made in Iowa by
the administration, was the substance
of n statement recently printed in
some Iowa newspaper. The publ
cation of the statement has resulted
In democratic candidates for every
job from Director OF the Mint down
TO the fourth class postoffices, sending
their applications TO the two senators.
instead of to the democratic organiza.
ton, which is the proper place. ,
The only basis for the statement
was the fact that President Wilson in
formed the senators of his intention
to nominate Edgar Z. Clark OF Cedar
Rapids, for. the Interstate Commerce
Commission. There is the very high
est authority for saying that the
President was influenced to send Mr..
Clark's name to the Senate solely up
on the recommendation OF Franklin X.
Lane. Secretary of the Interior, who
formerly was chairman OF the Inter.
state Commerce Commission, had
worked with Mr. Clark on the Com.
mission and knew what a really capa-
bic man he was. 49,.
The attempt TO make it appear that
Senator Cummins would be consulted
regarding the qualifications Of Iowa
democrats who are candidates for of.
flee, created merriment at the head
quarters OF the Iowa democratic or.
ganization, for II there is any one
thing the organization is not trying
to do, it is TO boost Cummins.
Representative Pepper declared that
any democrat who would give Gre
dence to such yarn was lacking in
the requisite amount of gray matter.

WARNING AS TO CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS.

By way of practical suggestions,
we submit the following as to the
dangers of the Christmas tree, all Of
which are easily followed.
Don't leave an Illuminated tree
ulN8tChed.
Don't use festoons of tissue paper
or cotton batting on a tree.
Don't use any ornaments OF cellu-
lOid.
Don't let the children touch the
tree.
Don't permit draft of air to sway
the branches of a tree while 1t is
illuminated.
Don't put cotton beneath a tree to
make the carpet look like snow-cov-
cred ground.
Don't remove a thing from the
tree until the candles on it are
blown out.
If the appearance of snow is de-
sired for any purpose. use mineral
wool or asbestos. IL will not burr
and gives a better effect than cot
ton.
Finally, let the safety of you
children and your property be YOU
first consideration, and Christmas
will then be a season of happiness
undisturbed by accident.
