POLITICAL NEWSLETS
Comstock for Governor

According to tie papers, District
Judge w. L., Comstock of Mankato may
be selected as candidate for governor
by that faction of the democratic party
opposing tie candidacy of F. E. Wheaton.
eSome of the leaders who had met in
Minneapolis had picked Fred Wheaton
as the standard bearer of the party.
In very mysterious manner the pro-
hibition plank which was to be inserted
in the party platform became lost or
otherwise went astray, so that it could
not be found again until the conference
adjourned. There were men there who
t. ought the old democratic refreshments
ought not to be divorced from demo-
cracy's banner; that those refreshments
had been good enough for such valiant
war horses of the party as Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and other
leaders, therefore they were part and
parcel of the party and indissolubly
and unseparatingly united with it now
and forever. But things are not as
they used to he in the good old days.
One wing of the party is after dry
candidate to beat F. Wheaton at the
primaries. They think Judge Comstock
who is very popular, and for some time
leader in the party, can turn the
trick. When interviewed, the Judge
admitted he had been urged by several
leaders to become a candidate for the
governorship, but he had not made up
his mind as to what he intended to do.
Lindberger's Candidacy
C. A. Lindbereer, candidate for gov
ernor on the Non-partisan ticket, has
, filed as a Republican. He fired the
opening gun of his campaign with a
booommm at Fergus Falls. After all,
Republicans of the state are sitting up
and taking notice. They found they
could not hiss Linbergh off the political
stage; they tried it, but that fellow Lind
bergh would not scare bit. So now
they are preaching loyalty to the party's
standard. Where there was formerly
wailing and crashing Of teeth and slash
ing right and left in the party, there now
seems to be harmonious cooperation to
return Gov. Burnquist. Not because
they love him more than they did be-
fore, but because they are afraid of
. Lindbergh. That is the chief motive
, why so many of the Governors enemies
within the party are now rallying to his
support. A house divided against it.
self cannot stand. =. (.
{ ]. Schmahl Candidate?
Less than two weeks are left and the
time for filing will have expired. Sec
retary of State Julius Schmahl has been
urged by some of his intimate friends to
wait until the last minute, because they
still see chance for him to file for the
goyernorship.
Others Who Filed
State Auditor Preus, Attorney-Ge
eral Hilton, Railroad Commissioner Put
nam, Chief Justice G.. i. Brown, As
sociate Justices Andrew Holt and Oscar

fled. Tie three Justices have no OPP
position, so their election is assured.

sentenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary for violating the espionage act
will continue to be candidate for the
United Senate. Some of the legal lights
held he would not be permitted to make
the attempt. -. r.
However, Secretary of State Schmahl
has informed F. A. Price, attorney for
J. A. Peterson, the latter's name would
be placed on the ticket as republican
candidate for the United States senate.
Peterson had filed and paid the required
fee OF $500 before he was sentenced. It
would take a special act of the, leg
islature legally to return tie fee.
Bentall Eligible
In the case of Bentsll tie Secretary
has taken the opposite stand. His
name will not be placed on the ballot,
altough he has filed as candidate for
governor on the socialist ticket. He
had been found guilty of felony and
was sentenced, then he filed. That
makes the difference in his case. It is
tire early bird whose, name stays on the
ticket.
Third Cong. District
Last week Friday a delegation from
the 10 counties of the third congressional
district met in St. Paul to decide on a
democratic nominee so that the present
incumbent of the office, C. R. Davis of
St. Peter, Republican, might he de-
feated. At first, there was some talk
to have fusion candidate to beat Davis.
However, the Republicans declined in
very unbrotherly way to share the
prospective SPOTS with the Democrats.
-Four names were mentioned to the
members of the conference, J. ]. Farrell
of Carver, H. C. Theopold of Faribault,
Chas. P. Hall of Red Wing, and Senator
H. F. Weis. The democrats have now
decided to put one of their own party
in the field to beat c. R. Davis, and
promised their support to J. J. Farrell
who has already filed for the office.
The Second District
In the seond district no opposition
to Congressman F. F. Ellsworth had
developed. Now, we learn, Frank Simon
of Mapleton has filed as democrat.
Considering the attacks made upon
Frank Simon and also considering the
source of these attacks, it would almost
seem that Mr.. Simon is very able man.

Now. legend tells that when Count
Albrecht Cor Albert) III, the real
founder Of the House Of Habsburg, re-
turned to Rome from crusade he fell
in love with the Pope's niece, the for
mer Jewess, and took her for his wife
with the Pope's consent. The official
genealogical table of the Habsburgs
designates Albrecht's wife as Roman
woman and relative Of Pope, but does
not mention anything concerning her
descent. 1t seems, therefore, very prob
able that she was Pierleoni. Count
Albrccht III, also called the Rich, died
in 1899. He was succeeded by his son,
Rudolph II, Count of Habsburg, whose
son, Albrecht " (died 124O), was the
father Of the later Emperor Rudolph.
From emperor to emperor, or, rather,
from King Rudolph, descend all the
Habsburg-Lorrainers of the present day.
AS all the ruling houses ara. through
intermarriage with the Habsburg- Lor-
rainers, intimately related, it is obvious
that through them Jewish blood has
come into the veins Of all European
dynasties.

1918 or 1919?

Is the year 1918 completed with De-
cember 81 or begun with January /? In
other words, is 1913 or 1919 begun
with the present January L?
AS in geography and navigation,
longitude is measured from some arbi-
trary line. such as the meridian
through Greenwich, so in historical
chronology dates are fixed by giving
their distance from some arbitrary
point of time, usually chosen because
OF some remarkable occurrence that
slgnalled it. Such fixed point, or
epoch, forms the beginning of an era.
The Christian era starts at the birth
OF Christ, on January /, and although
the exact period of the event is con-
Jectural, historical chronology uses
this unit, among others, to measure
the distance in point of time and to
fix dates. From the above it will be
seen that December 81. 1917, means
that counting from the supposed birth
of Christ 1917 years were fully COM
pleted years, and with the present Jan
uary l was begun the 1918th year,
which, in its turn, will be completed
with the following December 81

the triple daily marches to the rear:
then the advance, the roads encum

trees uprooted; the men struggling
against fatigue and sleep and able to
see nothing ahead of them but dead
plain and gray horizon; the sudden

which one never sees or knows of, but
which strikes one on the ground; then

Queries and
Answers
Hapsburgs' Jewish Blood

E. S.-Can you inform me through
your "Questions and Answers" column
whether there is any truth in the story
that the House Of Hapsburg has q
strain of jewish blood and that
through them many of the ruling
houses of Europe have the same herl-
tagc? l have been told that the Jewish
strain comes through the family of one
of the Popes, who was a Jew by birth,
but later was Christianizod.
The assumption that the Habsburgs
count Jews among their ancestors has
partly an historical and partly a
legendary foundation. In the early
Middle Ages there lived in Rome the
Jewish family of Pierleoni, who had
accumulated great wealth A son OF
this family, Pietro Pierleoni, embraced
the Christian religion and became a
monk in the famous Monastery of St.
Benedict, at Clugny. His great learn
ing. cleverness and neophytic zeal
gained him great influence, and it did
not take very long before he was made
abbot and superior Of the monastery
in Clugny, and he thus became the
head Of the Benedictine monasteries,
Of tho Benedictines, played an i'm
portant Part IN the events of that time.
Little wonder, therefore, that the
Abbot Petrus Leonis, who in the mean
time had been raised to the rank Of
Cardinal and as papal legate in France
and England also represented the in
tercsts OF Pope Honorius II. was elect
ed Pope of the Roman Church. AS
such he assumed the name Of Ana
cle.us II.
This happened in the year 1870, and
for twcnty-four years the former Jew
occupied the chair of st. Peter. The
abbot's family, too. had in the mean
time become converted to Catholicism,

table, her chin in her hands.
While he spoke he gazed at her
with eager eyes-the eyes Of amorous
youth. He was telling her the story of
his life-of his brief memories of boy
hood, of college, the ending of his
studies; the war, his ardent desire to
fight, his mothers fears and, finally,
his dream Of fighting realized.
She interrupted him:
"How old are you?"
Eighteen years."
She smiled and laid her finger on the

coat.

you wounded?"
"At the Marne."
WAS it a serious wound"

BY Mrs. Lenore r. Ranus

The play instinct is Unborn in all
children the world over; it Is natures
own method for developing the senses,
the muscles and all bodily growth.
Play is even more than this; it is the
outlet Of expression of the child's in
ner life. Many faults as we'll as Writ
ues may be discovered while watching
children at play. Perhaps a mother
will find that her child is selfish or
RIDE, and it is easy to discover gen.
erous disposition and a good temper in
the course of play hour.
Games are the expression of the play
spirit and toys are the instruments
necessary for the expression of this &C
tivity Of child life. AS farmer needs
garden tools to do his work, so child
needs toys for his play-or work, which
play really is to him. And if toys are
not provided ready made he will invent
them in order to be able to express
his play spirit and put it into action.
Health Is Important
All play depends upon the physical
condition of the child. A normal.
healthy child plays all the time,
is easily interested in his toys and
as he grows older invents games with
them. If child plays little, cannot
easily be interested in his toys, will
not play alone and is cross. look first
to his physical condition, then begin
course Of training. or directed play.
Start with the suggestion, "Why not
build a high steeple?" or MAKE
mother train of cars with your
blocks" Often, especially in the case
of an only child, if mother can enter
into the play-spirit and play hide
and-seek. or march and sing. or even
build with the blocks, it is such a treat
and often real help in promoting a
readiness to play alone when mother
must go back to her work.
Almost every child wants to help
mother sweep, dust. make beds, wipe
the silver or run errands. Make play

out of the work, and yet let the little
one feel he is really doing something.
With tiny babes too little even to
walk, a mother can make play out
Of work. Have the high chair or the
bassinette or carriage in the room
where you are working and keep baby
busy with toys. For instance, if you
are working in the kitchen. let. the
baby have a big spoon, clothespin,
tin covers or anything new and safe,
but always keep those things for the
kitchen. II he is allowed to have them
all the time they soon lose their in
tercst and he becomes restless and un-
happy.
Making a Little Surprise.
A sense of newness, even with old
toys, makes them desirable to child
Children need change and variety
because their power Of concentration
is not fully developed.
This is the plan l use with success
with my own little girl. Her box of
dominoes, her nest of blocks and her
box Of building blocks composed Of

closet out OF sight l also keep some

to the closet for a surprise. If give
her the blocks, it is always with a
suggestion for making something with
them. She now comes to me and asks
for "a s'prise, muvver." When she
tires Of the blocks l have her pick
them all up, ready to put away, before
she can have another "surprise."
Sometimes for days at a time she
does not ask for surprise, and then
when / do bring out the dominoes, for
instance, she is as delighted as if they
were brand new. Her dolls separate
in groups. II she has four I put away
two, and at the end of week l bring
out these two and put away the two
che has been playing with. If you fol-
low this plan with all toys, grouping
them and keeping one set put away,
you will always keep the little ones
