Members of the Republican state committee will meet next Monday morning at the Hotel Utah to discuss dates for the state convention. Chairman Carl R. Marcussen issued the call several days ago, and set the date for Monday, believing that Senator Reed Smoot would be here to take part in the deliberations and the opening of the campaign. According to some local political leaders, it is the intention of the party to set the conventions as far ahead as possible and to conduct a short campaign. We do not know what their reason is for this short campaign, but from our observation this is one year when a long campaign should be conducted. There is much to iron out and it cannot be done in two or three weeks. Politicians make a swing around the state and return with glowing reports but when you .talk to them you find that they have only interviewed office holders or office seekers. If they would mix with the ordinary laymen they might think a little and their plans would be laid a little differently. From what we hear in the woods and see, a short campaign does not look good to us, but our leaders probably know what they are doing.

Among the odd impostors of the world is one who styled himself the Wandering Jew, and who appeared in the city of Munich, July 22, 1721. Some account of him may be found in the second volume of Calmets de la Bible, page 472. Then, as now, men were curious and credulous, and the rich were eager to be entertained. So things went well for the stranger, who was one able to adapt himself to get into the swing of conversation with ease; and soon he was taken seriously. He told how he had been an officer of the Sanhedrin, how he struck Christ as He left Pilate, what he said to this Apostle and that. With a sympathetic audience to hearten him, he w'ent on to relieve his artistic soul, telling of the dress and the manners and the amusing eccentricities of this character and that. He gave a picture of life in Rome, and told of the burning by Nero. There were tales of others he said he had met and lived with, of the fiery Saladin, of Tamerlane, of Jajazeth. He converhad, he said, been on familiar sational terms with the leaders of the different cursades. Doubtless he was a novelist born out of time. At least he seems to have been gifted with admirable powers of observation and a retentive memory, y depicted were and the scenes-haccurate. Profesors from Oxford and Cambridge questioned him narrowly without detecting serious and linquists asserted that he spoke many languages with ease. After some months In Munich he went to Denmark, then took ship for Sweden and thereafter disappeared. de- - e 9 more long distance At the beginning of 1925 there were LINES FOR BELL SYSTEM about The construction of toll cable lines between important points in the Bell System is a feature of modern telephone plant development which makes for better service. The open wire pole lnie with its many cross-arm- s fresuffers quently damage from sleet and wind storms. It has not been an uncommon thing to have miles of pole lines laid low by storm violence or the weight of accumulated Ice on the wires, and when this occurs it sometimes costs the telephone companies way up in the millions to reconstruct the lines and to restore the service. Toll cable line construction minimizes the danger from storms and insures against interruption of the service by the unruly elements. More than 1000 miles of toll cable were placed in service in the Bell System during 1925. This included the como pletion of the New cable route and of about half of the Chicago-St- . Louis cable route. This year it is expected that more than 1,500 miles of toll cable will be placed in service. The program for 1926 includes extensions to the cable system and the addition of relief cables on existing routes. The expansion of the toll cable system has been made possible by the application of the repeater or current amplifier to the loaded long distance circuits. The repeater permits the use conof cables in place of open-wir- e struction and allows the use of smaller gauge wire. York-Chicag- repeaters in service in the Bell System; 2,500 repeaters were added in 1925 and It Is expected that about 5,000 repeaters will be installed 5,500 this year.
