EDITORIAL COMMENT

One more week remains to Secre-
tary Baker in which to make an at
tack upon our G. A. R. veterans
New York Sun.
Mr.. Wilson boasts that he has kept
us out of one war, and promises to get
us into the next. Thus he exemplifies
that neutrality of thought and deed
which he frequently urges his coun-
trymen TO observe.--New York Sun.
incidentally. Pershing Is supposed
TO have been sent into Mexico to get
Villa. Why should Secretary Baker be
so upset over the report that Villa is
going to come around where Pershing
can get whack at him kansas City

In demanding the withdrawal of
the American forces from Mexico Mr..
Villa may be a trifle insolent, but he
appears to know the kind of admins
tration he is dealing with.-Kansas

Mr.. Railroader, Attention |!

ne you know that Federal owner
- ship of the railways will be one
of the first policies to be con.
sidered by the commission created by
the Adamson law. according to an
official announcement made at Wash
ington. 1t is believed that two men,
bers of the commission, General
Goethals and President Willard, will
be strongly predisposed to federal
ownership. General Goethals was,
naturally, an enthusiastic advocate of
Government construction of the
Panama Canal and the Government
operation of the Panama Railway.
incidentally, he insisted upon the
maintenance of the open shop on the
Panama Canal Zone.
And If the government takes over
the railroads, then what? Do YOU
want to be paid on the same basis as
the postal clerk? Do you want to
have your annual passes taken from
you and your pension system abolish
ed? Do you want the privilege of
laying off" to go hunting or fishing
or for purposes other than sickness
abolished? Do you want your relief
system blotted out? Do you want the
United States Army to stand between
you and your objects when you find
it necessary to strike for what you
believe are your rights? Do you want
to hold your job by political pull?
Those are some of the possibilities
under the Adamson law, for which
President Wilson is responsible. If
you do not believe this, study the
situation of the railroad men wherever
government ownership prevails.
President Wilson knew all this
when he passed the Adamson law in
its present form. Your own Brother
hood officials admit they do not know
fully what that law means or how it
will affect you.
Honestly. now. what do you think
of a President who will juggle with
your rights in a manner like that?
And in considering your attitude
toward the President and how you
are going to vote next Tuesday. re-

he was not a candidate for office, who

THE ENGLISH PHEASANT.
Originally From Asia, It Is Still Found
In China and Tibet.

Originally From Asia, 1t Is Still Found
In China and Tibet.
Generally speaking, the English
pheasant is misnamed, since it came
from Asia and Is still to be found in
India, Tibet and China. The birds
were brought to Europe more than 500
years ago, turned loose on hunting
preserves and thrived amazingly. They
supply the finest bird shooting in Scot
land and England, and so much care is
taken in raising them that they may
almost be regarded as half domesti-
Gated bird.
Under the present system the eggs
are Matched by hens or in mcubators.
The chicks are carefully fed on in
sects and prepared foods, and when
they are able to shift for themselves
they are turned into the woods. While
the common pheasant will roost in
trees, it is ground bird. The female
will remain under cover until it is al.
most stepped upon.
Because Of this trait the pheasants
are aroused by men who beat in the
thickets until the pheasants take fight
over shooting boxes, where the hunt
ers are concealed Philadelphia North

stamps were for the first time issued in
Japan, following the system of western
countries. The stamps were of four
denominations of mon. These stamps,
however, disappeared shortly after
their issue, to be replaced in 1872 by
another series in the denomination Of
sen. These denominations are still in
use today, but at the present time
there Is far wider variety, the values
being from one-quarter of a cent to SIS.

COMING TO OPERA HOUSE

"Civilization," the startling cinema
production that comes to the opera
house Saturday, December 3Oth, matt
nee and night, has been proclaimed by
press, pulpit and educators, to be the
most stupendous production ever
shown. Undoubtedly the present war
has given keen interest to the spec

The picture is an allegorical story
of war that has laughed at the

progress. It pictures the awfulness

conquest. It shows how half the man.
hood of world may be swept, by the
terrific death dealing machinery of
modern war, from the peaceful val
leys into the scarlet trails.
The great production that cost
81 ,OO0, 100000, was over a year in the
making. Forty thousand people and
whole regiments Of cavalry and artil-
lery were used in making the stupen-
dous scenes. Real cities were built
and destroyed. A squadron of battle
aeroplanes were used in the mightiest
of areal encounters. The most thrill
ing and all inspiring naval battles
ever conceived were staged with the
aid and cooperation of the United
States navy. There is shown one
naval battle alone in which $18,O00.00
in, ammunition was fired at the
enemy's fleet Of converted battle
ships, which took three months to
construct and prepare. Every contri-
vance and death dealing device known
to modern science of. war are used

CHRISTMAS DANGERS
GREATLY LESSENED

It seems important at this time to
call the attention of the public to
some of the dangers of the lighted
Christmas tree, because of the fact
that many homes, churches and
schools will hold these festivities.
This is the season when naught but
happiness and good cheer should pre-
vail. By caution and carefulness in
handling Christmas tree decorations
we can make it so. Teach the chill
dren the danger from fire and to be
constantly on the watch for anything
that may cause fire.
Where possible, electricity should
be used for lighting, wiring to be done
by a competent electrician.
If candles are USED, do not allow
the children to light them. Their
clothing may catch on fire, or the
tree, if dry, will burn.
Do not use paper, cotton or other
inf1ammable material and see that the
tree is securely fastened so that it
cannot be pulled over when reaching
for things.
Never leave a lighted tree with
children alone.
Don't put cotton on or under the
tree to represent snow. Use mineral
wool or asbestos. The effect is better
than with cotton.
Don't permit draft of air to sway
the branches of the tree while it is
lighted. .....
By following these instructions we
hope to repeat the record of 1915,
when not one single Christmas tree
fire was reported to this department.,
and we ask every man, woman and
child to join in this effort to make
Christmas the joyous season it is
meant to be.
