BORN UNDER LUCKY STAR

The only one of the seventeen per.
sons who were congregated in the
dining room of the John Faabore
home twelve miles southwest of Au-
dubon, at the time of the explosion
that occurred on the Sunday before
Christmas, which wrecked the home
and killed five people, who escaped
injury, was Erik Thor of Wisner,
Nebr., who was a visitor at the Faa-
borg home. He was seated at the
table, and when the explosion came
was thrown under the table and into
the basement. Although stunned for
few moments he was otherwise un-
hurt and in a short time began to
assist in the rescue of the less for
tunate. His seems a charmed life.
Five years ago, previous to sailing
for America, he booked passage on
the i'll fated Titantic A friend of his
wished to start two weeks sooner. and
cancelling his passage he booked on
the Olympic and was in America
when the great nautical disaster hap
pened. On the Olympic he escaped
death twice when two men were
killed.

Is PARTY DOMINATION
OF CONGRESS ENDED

The independents in the next Con-
gress are meditating an organization
of their own, with the object, as their
spokesman says, of securing changes
in the rules which will permit a larg
er freedom of action among the Rep
resentatives. The size of the group is
problematical. 1t is doubtless large
enough to carry control to one side
or the other. if all the independents
shifted en- bloc. The chances are that
the next Congress will more nearly
approximate conditions in most Eur
Opean parliaments than any we have
ever had. In Europe. there is scarce
ly Chamber of Deputies where any
one party can command a majority.
The German Reichstag has existed
for years with the Socilists as the
largest single group in its member
ship, and the government has had to
depend upon a coalition to maintain
Its measures: so too. in England. the
Asquith Ministry. and now the Lloyd
George Cabinet, have had no major
1ty granted to it with the mandate of
general election. while in France
the Center the Left. the Right and the
other groups of Deputies have al
ways been the despair of foreigners
and of Prime Ministers alike. Many
European publicists have looked for
a new condition in the United States,
which has remained steadfastly a
two-party country It may be that
that day is past and that we. too.
shall have the block system in poll
tics.
