HEADS OFF YOUNG
Anderson Secures Endorsement
Mitchell County Committee.
Hot Political Fight Is Brewing
in Sixth District.

If I. D. Young of Beloit really de-
cfdeS to enter the Sixth district con-
sressional race, he will apparently go
10 the primaries with his entire CEN
tral committee opposed to his candi-
dacy. In a two page advertisement in
a Beloit paper this week, the entire
Mitchell county central committee en-
dorsed the candidacy OF r. NJ Ander-
son of BeIoit.
The entrance of Young in the Sixth
district congressional fight has repeat
eddy been predicted. In fact the for
mer congressman himself has shown a
desire to encourage the impression.
Recently it was asserted by Ed Null
laney of Hill City that Young had en-
tered into an agreement with Otis l.
Benton of Oberlin in an effort TO di-
vide the vote in the eastern counties
of the district against Anderson This
report has been denied, but the i'm
preston that Young may yet decide to
run has never been definitely settled
in the Sixth district the congress
SiOnal contest between Benton, q. rich
Oberlin banker, and Anderson, Be
lott lawyer, has been active almost
since the reelection of John y. Con
nelly, Democrat, was announced last
fall There is general impression
that n Republican congressman may
be sent to Washington from the Sixth
district in 1916 For that reason
Benton and Anderson have spent both
time and money in red hot cam
pa1gn in the district Benton nome
is in Oberlin, in the western portion
of the district, while Anderson lives
in Beloit, IN the eastern and more
densely populated end of the district
Because of this situation. an eastern
candidate who would divide the east
ern vote with Anderson would GER
tainIy not cripple Benton's chances
Now Anderson has seemingly nailed
down the support OF the entire re
publican central committee m his
home county. He also has the en-
dorscments of a number of the prom
inent Republicans in his county and
district All of which leaves very
little home endorsement for Young TO
gather if he desires to start return
trip TO congress
Both Benton and Anderson have
strong foIowings in the district and
both claim the nomination So with
the state wide primaries nine months
in the future the Sixth district viii
probably stage the most spectacular
congressional fight in the state

that a factory site will be selected else

tries to start the engine of the car a
gong under the hood goes off.

THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTMAS
One Day Of the Year That All Other
Days Are Learning to Envy
and Initiate.

Il seems to me that always, as the
Gath of December commenced to
shorten, the white, fleecy snow began
to fall, says a writer in the Crafts
man. When the street lamps flick
cred up like candles on an altar, they
gaZed on a world that was white. The
strife of the city was mufiled. Carts
went by, but you had to peer out
through the blinds to know that they
were passing-they made no sound.
An atmosphere of gentleness had de-
scended. Everyone in the house went
about with stealth, as though planning
some secret kindness.
And then the night and the trying
to keep awake till Santa Claus should
come. And the waking up, with the
frost weaving patterns on the panes.
Somewhere far away a harp was be-
ing played, and cornet was challeng-
ing the silence. The tune they played
was an accompaniment to the most
beautiful legend in the world. At
first, dreamily, you tried to remember
why for once the darkness was not
frightening, and then, "Ah, it's Christ
mas!" AS you turned, your feet made
the paper crack, and at the end of the
bed you were too content and happy
even to look at your presents. Why
was it that next day everybody and
everything was different? The air was
full Of bells singing riotously. Every
one, for this one day, ceased to think
of his own happiness and found hap
piness in bringing cheerfulness to
others. The stern gulf which is fixed
between children and grown-ups had
vanished-there weren't any grown
ups. Somewhere in your childish
heart you wondered why every day
couldn't be made day of kindness.
And that wonder of child's heart
is the Christmas message. Once
year, by a divine conspiracy, all the
ships of our hopes and fears turn back
from their voyagings to the harbor OF
tenderness. They are borne back on
the crest of white tide of mysticism
that sweeps round the world. A truce
of God is declared to all fightings, and
men and women walk as children
through a world that is kind. They
commence to give and cease to annex;
they act in the belief that God is in
his heaven. The spirit is one tremu-
lous white day of unselfshness-a day
which gradually some other days in
the year are learning to envy and imi-
tate.

ways shone through his pallid skin
and had earned for him his cognomen
of Black jake, trembled a little, and
the thin, blue lips pulsated with low
muttered maledictions heaped upon
the world in general. The sporting
element soon forgets old pals down on
their luck, he reflected.
Nervously scanning the faces of
shoppers emerging from the doorway
of a department store, Jakie's face
lighted up as he saw petite figure
laden with many bundles start across
the sidewalk. Marie Lecourt! Yes,
it must be she. Marie, the prettiest
girl in the Follies chorus. Should he
speak to her? Perhaps she would
have at least a kind word for the fel-
low who had bought her many din
ners at swell cafes and had lavished
his money on her when he had it. In
stinctively he started forward, his
hand on his ancient velour hat, the
one relic of palmy days.
But almost as he started he checked
himself. No, it would be better not
to speak to Marie, for she, like all
the rest of the old crowd, would turn
him down, would refuse to speak to
a bum.
He stepped back to the shelter of
the elevated pillar just as Marie
turned to cross the street. Her bright
eyes twinkling with good cheer, she
came up quite close to jake, Sud
denly a flash of recognition crossed
her countenance and she almost
dropped her packages as she rushed

Why We Burn Candles.

The custom of burning candles on
the Christmas tree comes from two
sources. The Romans burned candles
at the feast of Saturn as sign of good
cheer, while the Jews burned candles
during the feast of the Dedication,
which happened to fall about the same
time as that of Saturn in the Roman
calendar. It is quite possible that
for this reason there would have been
many candles burning all over Pales-
tine about the time Of the birth OF
Christ, and from this comes the term
Feast of Lights" which is the name
used in the Greek church for Christ
mas day.
