"HE KEPT Us OUT

AND FARCE, SAYS
TH0MASFRANKSON
Compares It to the Free Silver Sloean
of 1896 in Address ct
Kerkhoven.
WHO KEPT OTHER
COUNTRIES FROM War
Talks in Questions; Asks Why Amer
ican Soldiers are Now on the
Border.
(By United Pren)

Kerkhoven. Minn., Nov. s.-"Wu-
son kept US out of war;" the Demo-
cratic slogan OF today is about q
much Of q sham and farce a their
free silver slogan Of 1896. Thomas
Frankson. Republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, told a Repubu-
can mass meeting here this after
noon. Frankson talked in questions,
which included:
why did the Democratic party
during the present administration
create over 1000 new Offices and add
over 1900 employees to the Federal
payrolls?
why was the last Democratic con-
gress the most extravagant by over
one billion dollars that has ever as
sembled in Washington?
"Why are Is per cent of the presi-
dents appointments and IS per cent
of all the important congressional
legislation committees dominated and
controlled by the Southern states,
when they contribute IS per cent Of
the government revenues?
$40 q Person.
why did the last Democratic ad-
saddle an indebtedness
OF $50 upon every man, woman and
child in the United States?
why don't England stop seizing
our first class and parcel post mails?
why don't Wilson stop England
from seizing cargo after cargo of nom
contraband goods?
What is the legal definition Of a
Wilson or Democratic ultimatum?
why didn't Mexico salute our Am
erican flag?
How about Wilson sending our
Atlantic fleet to Vera Cruz, Mexico,
to stop the landing of arms in Mex
leo, and to protect our American cit
izens; our navy. returning after a
loss of nineteen men and many men
wounded; and did not prevent the
landig of arms in Mexico; and our
American citizens in Mexico were
abandoned and had to seek shelter
underneath the folds of the German
flag?
"How about the notorious Adam
son law, whether it is truly an eight
hour day law, or law legalizing ten
hours pay for eight hours pay only
to the best paid men in the railroad
service today?
How About Revenue?
why don't the present Underwood
tariff law produce sufficient revenue?
"Why did they pass the very un-
popular stamp act, which the Demo-
Gratis termed as war tax, two years
ago?
why are the farmers and manu-
facturers of Norway, Sweden. Dem
mark and Holland getting fabulous
war prices for all the commodities
they have to sell?
why are 100000 American SOL
diers now entrenched on foreign ter
ritory and on the Mexican border and
more lives lost and sacrificed than
during the entire Spanish-American
war? .s.< .<.....-... ~.
who kept Norway, Sweden, Dem
mark and Hql qlland out Of the war?
And their only answer is, He
kept us out Of war!'" Frankson con-
cluded. ).

new FISCAL YEAR.
Railroads Will Soon Do Bush
ness on Calendar Time.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Behind the Plan.
OFFICIAL ORDER EXPECTED
End Business Year i'm Deem
Der Instead of June.
Copeland Says viii Be a Great
Help to Corporations.

Nobody knows exactly why the 1lScai
or financial year has been ending, for
large corporations, on June 80 instead
of on December 81, the end of the
calendar year, and the interstate COM
merce commission has decided that 1t
shall not end so hereafter, for cor
poratfons under their regulative pow
ers. A recent order has been publish
ed by the commission, 1nstructlng All
carriers hereafter to file their annual
reports not later than the last day OF
March, covering the business done up
to midnight on December 81 of the
previous year. just as the reports have
hitherto covered the business trans
acted up to the end of June 80 each
year.
The change will be more or less
revolutionary. The fiscal year ending
June 80 has been a traditional institu-
ton, and the change of system Will
require an extra report. A consider
able amount of work will therefore be
necessary in complying with the new
order.
Roads Expected 1t.
E. L. Copeland, secretary-treasurer
of the Santa Fe, when asked about the
new ruling, stated that it had been
expected for some time. 1.-The COM
mission has been trying for a long
time to get the railroads and corpor-
ations to end their financial years on
the end of the calendar year." said
Mr.. Copeland. He had received no
now instructions or notification of the
changed system, however.
II think it would be a good thing
to have all the corporations uniform
in ending their year. he said, Tho

SAFETY FIRST.

From the standpoint of safety to
life and property there is as much
need for a safe and sane Christmas as
for a safe and sane Fourth of July
The ordinary Christmas tree, rapid
ly growing dry in warm rooms, filled
with open candles, covered with cotton
snow and paper decorations, surround
ed by excited children, easily tipped
over and usually near curtains or other
inflammables, introduces a fire hazard
into the home as dangerous and GRIM
inally careless as was the old-time sat
urnalia of death and destruction on
the Fourth of July.
Christmas is peculiarly the chill
drens festival, but the safety as we'll
as the happiness of the children and
of the home should be considered. Too
often the holiday rejoicing has been
turned into a time of mourning by
Christmas tree fires. The danger of
such accidents can be greatly reduced
by exercising reasonable precautions.
The following recommendations are
agreed upon by the fire prevention
authorities:
Use electric lights, if possible, or en-
closed rather than open candles. If
open candles are used, place the tree
where it is not exposed to drafts, and
provide a solid base well braced Use
asbestos snow, instead of cotton, and
non-inflammable tree ornaments, bar
paper festoons and bells and celluloid
ornaments, as the latter ignite easily,
even from contact with an electric
light
The paternal Santa Claus needs pro-
lection as we'll as the children, and
father should be warned not to wear
cotton whiskers and hair, but be
equipped with asbestos or flame
PROCEED decorations
Children should be warned not to
touch the Christmas tree. A fire ex-
tinguisher or pail of water should be
kept handy, and the location of the
nearest fire alarm box or the fire de-
partment number should be memo.
rized.
The observance of these warnings
Will prevent a recurrence of the
countless domestic tragedies which
have turned an occasion of joy into
a time of mourning, and will con.
serve the life and property of the
! nation

Newspapers and magazines are educa-

but they are few compared with the

the present is a particularly exigent

Strongly FayOrs Peace, Says
London Economist Editor.
By FRANCIS w. HIRST.

London, Dec. 20.-The London stock
exchange is convinced that the Aus

ward a new peace push"
I have just spent an hour in the city
which, after awaiting with much curl
osity and an anxiety the reply of Pre-
mier Lloyd-George to the German
peace proposals, is highly optimistic
regarding the prospects of a cessa-
ton of hostilities. L1oyd-George's
speech, it is considered. has brought
titude of the Austrian emperor, which
apparently owing to private advices
is believed to be strongly in favor
of peace. Members freely discussed
the report that he would signalize the
opening of his reign by taking a lead
ing part in the oyertures for peace.
There is much discussion about
American exchange. Despite Bonar
Laws speech in the house of COM
mons last week, which indicated the
contrary, some of the operators de-
clare that the British government can
maintain the present par for an in
definite period.
One feature / noticed in the city was
the general belief held by American
financiers that the last chapter of the
war had opene7 This I found, had

LAW A DEAD LETTER
Few Mothers Get Pension Under the
Present Kansas Provision.

THE present mothers pension law
is a dead letter and one of the first
legislative measures which the child
welfare organizations will ask of the
legislature is a revamping of the BILL"
D. F. Shirk, secretary of the Kansas
Children's Home society announced
today.
The experience of the welfare
agencies has been that the mothers
who need the pensions are not apply
ing and Furthermore the comparative
ly few who do apply havs their re-
quests turned down. The granting of
pensions should be taken out of the
hands of the county commissioners
While many have bestowed careful
consideration upon such requests, the
experience of the welfare societies has
been that the first consideration of
the commissioners has been economy
They seem to fear that the granting
of a pension will unleash stampede
of such requests and the result has
been over-caution in scores of cases
The welfare agencies will ask that
the matter be placed in the hands of
the Juvenile court, which is much
closer to actual conditions and less
deferred by considerations economy"
