1t would seem that this district is
not alone in a position to bemoan a
lack of representation in legislative
circles, for the following editorial
paragraph in the st. Paul Pioneer
Press would indicate that "straddler'
politicians who would rather do moth
ing at all than something worth while
which might lose vote are quite a
common thing these days. The Press
editor says: "There is new school
of political thought in America now
adays. It may be called the Trimers'
school. It's pupils are ccmpromisers.
They are taught that the most COM
forable seat is on the top rail of the
fence. Privately, we suppose, they
have convictions, but publicly one
would never know it. They dare not
call their souls their own-aloud
for fear of losing somebody's vote.

For them government is not a science
but crooked game. The right thing
must on no account be completely
done; it must always be mixed with
a little of the wrong thing in the fat

sides may be placated. Government
has become system Of playing both

Remarkable Old Beliefs.

Since the age of legend, thunder
and lightning making has always been
made the final proof of the supernat-
ural. Thor and his huge hammer,
which accounted for the thunder to
the old Norsemen, and Jove or Jupiter,
who hurled his lightning and thun-
der in anger and thus explained this
natural phenomenon to the old Greeks
and Romsns, are only two of the
hundreds of instances in ancient be-
lief.
In later times the brand OF magi-
clan and evil-doer was put upon many
alchemists, with rurnors that splitting
tongues of fire and crashes of thunder
were seen and heard in their labora-
tories.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-(By the Associated Press)-Winter wheat SOW ings this fall, estimated by the depart ment of agriculture today at 46,069,000 acres are the third largest ever plant ed by the farmers of the country, but the conditions of the crop is some what low, being S.4 points below the ten year December first average con- dition.

The conductor and porter persuaded him to retire at Rodeo and fastened the curtains of his berth and believed him to be asleep until the train reached Osborne. In the darkness it was i'm possible to find him and besides searching parties had a wide area to search over before they found him.
 He was in partially conscious con dltion when found with deep scalp wounds and wound on his forehead. He was still in an exhausted state late last night.
 The mans brother in Mesa was not flied and reached Douglas yesterday The sick man is in Calumet hospital. No explanation could be made as to how he got off the train, but it is be- lieved he jumped.

"Of the fact that fire insurance pro-
 lection may be voided by the intro | duction of hazards not contemplated under the policy, have made no men, l tion. Such, however, is the case. and this possibility supplies further req | son for carefulness.
 Here are a few additional precau- tions which I urge the public to ob- serve. in homes, in stores and else where:
 Make sure that Christmas trees are securely set up. so that they will not topple over, and keep them away from heating and lighting fixtures. Use metal tinsel, flake asbestos and
 powdered mica for snow effects, in- stead of paper clippings and cotton. Smokers should be extremely careful with matches and smoking material while near trees and decorations. Ever greens should be removed immediate ly after Christmas before they have completely dried out. Avoid toys requiring alcohol. gas oline or kerosine for their operation, and also flimsy motion-picture ma chimes using inflammable films. Low priced electrical playthings, too, should be tabooed, since they often are effectively wired and frequently have insecure, dangerous connections they have caused serious burns and fires.
 '1f Santa Claus is to be present at the celebration, persuade him to avoid the use of long cotton whiskers- His costume should be partially fire proofed by spraying upon it solution of waterglass, obtainable at any drug store.
 "If anyone's clothing catches fire. he should be promptly rolled in rug or woolen cloth in order to smother the flames. Keep the flames away from the face.
 "Merchants should free their places of business from rubbish and paper accumulations, and should insist that employees keep all exits clear. It is difficult to keep stock-rooms tidy dur ing the busy holiday season, realize, but it is we'll worth the extra effort.
 Finally" said the chief, let every l individual do his utmost not to spoil i the merriment of the day. No one

NEW CALIPH WEARS BUSINESS
 SUIT INSTEAD OF PICTURESQUE
 ROBES; WILL NOT HAVE HAREN

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 1S.- With Abdul Mediid, successor Of the deposed Sultan Mohammed VI, possessing the sacred robes and powers of the caliphate, Am erican cartoonists and humorists will have to drop their old concep tion of an Oriental potentate. For Abdul Merjid does not wear the flowing robes and pointed slip pers and turban of his forebears. He appears ordinarily in a Euro pean business suit, the only Ori- ental touch being given by his red feZ.
 Nor does the new caliph recline on silken cushions drawing puffs of perfumed smoke from gurg- ling narghile. Abdul Medjid is an active man and his favorite smoke is a cigaret-which he in- dulges in rarely.
 No Harem For Him
 And-wonder of wonders! the new head of the Moslem faith will not be the possessor of a harem. The caliph has but one wife though the law of the Koran al- lows him four and Oriental tradi-

 While former Turkish sultans had numerous progeny. Abdul Midjid has but one child, daugh- ter, his constant companion. This already is worrying Moslem chief tains. n
 What if the caliph dies with out male issue?" they ask. Who will continue the line of caliphs?"
 Another thing that worries rock ribbed Moslems is the new ca liph's devotion to art. The Koran. in it's strictest interpretation. for bids painting pictures and mak- ing "graven images" But the new caliph not only loves and ap- preciates art but is known him self in Paris as an accomplished painter.
 Abdul Medjid will exercise no civil power within the Turkish empire but he will be recognized as the spiritual head of millions of Mohammedans all over the world who will look upon him with the same respect as Roman Catholics look upon their pope.

KEEP CHRISTMAS, BUT KEEP TT SAFE, SAYS LOCAL FIRE CHIEF
 ON OBSERVANCE OF YULETIDE

With the holidays almost here. fire to grow apprehensive. From past ex- perience they know how easily Christ mas in the American home can be turned from time of rejoicing into one of sorrow; for there are many fire hazards peculiar to the season. Fire Chief McKeown of Lowell, shares this anxiety, and he therefore issued today a brief note of advice to the people of this city.
 About this time of year." said the chief, "the children-and good many grown-ups, too, only they won't admit it-are impatiently counting the days until Christmas. Above all other days, Christmas should be an occas- ion of universal cheer. It should be, and yet-in many households it is likely to become time of tragedy be- cause of death or injury from fire, if care is not exercised That is grim thought to associate with the Yule- tide, know, and hope sincerely that people will understand my position. am speaking because it is my plain duty to do so, especially since my own experience is backed up by some sta tistics received yesterday from the National Board of Fire Underwriters from which I learn that an average of one in every ten Christmas fires last year resulted in a fatality. Mod crate carefulness will not detract one bit from the fullest enjoyment of the day.
 "The Christmas tree. is an old and beautiful symbol. and one that should be preserved. But 1t becomes none the less symbolic when it is made safe; and it cannot even approach to safety so long as it is decked with lighted candles. If the tree must be illuminated, colored electric lights are more ornamental and usually far saf- CT. Of course, bright light focused on the tree, in a darkened room, is a safe method and gives, perhaps, the most pleasing effect.
 "It is not only on the tree, however, that candles are dangerous" went on the chief. Placing them in windows where there are inflammable curtains and decorations, is extremely danger ous. All open flame lights are dan gerous. I am laying emphasis on the candle, though, because, of late, it seems to have come back into fash ion-and into my fire records.
