Anti.Jew,sh Sentiment.

Among many signs of liberalism and
progress that mark the beginning of
the twentieth century hostility to
Jews stands out by contrast as con-
spicuous feature of an opposite
character. Why it should exist at all
and why it should abide so persist
emily are among the unsnlved myster-
les. Recent events have concentrated
public attention upon the sentiment
in Russia, but it is not confined to
that country.
1t has not been year since Secre-
tary Hay addressed note to all the
signatory powers Of the treaty of Ber-
lin relative to the disabilities put up
ION Jews by the government of Rou-
mania. In that country Jews are
treated as aliens, and are excluded
from the learned professions, from the
public service and from many other
occupations. They are not permitted
to own or lease land for agricultural
purposes, or to carry on the trades
of bakers, grocers or innkeepers in
agricultural districts. The colleges
and secondary schools are open to
them only after all Ronmanian chill
dren have been accommodated, and
then on payment Of the fee. In March.
1902, law was passed practically de-
barring them from all the mechanical
trades.
Secretary Hays note was based on
the fact that this treatment of the
Jews in Roumania vas driving to the
United States many Jewish emigrants
who, "made double paupers by physi.
cal and moral oppression, became a
burden and a menace to the COM
munity." He treated it as policy
OF systematic oppression. and said,
"This government cannot be a tacit
part to such an international wrong"
The note aroused considerable dis
cussion IN Europe because it was
marked departure from ordinary d.
plomatic communication, but it did
no good. The English press COM
mended the tone of the note, but in
Germany and Austria the tone of the
press was in general hostile to what
was regarded as the meddlesome attti-
tude of the United States. The anti
Jewish sentiment is pronounced in
beth of those countries. Among the
intellectual and professional classes
in Germany the sentiment is strong
and aggressive. In Austria it is
recognized influence in politics.
Even in England King Edward last
year appointed royal commission to
investigate the evils and dangers of
unrestricted foreign immigration. and
it was well understood that the move
ment was against the immigration of
Russian and Roumanian Jews. An
organization called the ''British
Brothers League" has the same Or
ject in view. Only in the United
States are Jews free from legal disa-
bilities or social prescription.
Considering that the Jewish race
has contributed largely to all the
walks of literature and art, and has
given the world some OF its greatest
statesmen and noblest philanthropists,
this almost universal opposition TO the
race is one of the curiosities of his
tory. Att ough it is widespread and
active at present, it can hardly sur
vive for any great length of tine the
broadening spirit of civilization and
twentieth-ccntury progress-Indian-

The Drift Of Politics.

In article under the above caption in
the indianapolis Journal Of Saturday
gives interviews with several promi-
nent republicans and among them we
find the following: Senator Ethan A.
Dausman, of Goshen, who is IN the
city on legal business, brings with him
some information that lends color to
the somewhat persistent rumors that
Governor Durbin contemplates being
a candidate for United States senator
next year. When the senator was
asked If there was anything new in a
political way in Elkhart county he re-
piled.
"The only thing of interest polit-
ically up our way at present is the
Beverage and anti-Beyeridge talk.
BY that mean the question of oppo-
sition to Senator Beverage next year,
when he will be candidate to sue
coed himself. Walter Brown, of Elk
hart, member of the Republican state
committee from the Thirteenth dis
trict, has told his friends that Cover
nor Durbin will be a candidate against
Beveridge. Brown is member Of the
Governor s staff and stands very close
to him politically, SO we take it for
granted that he knows what he is
talking about. More than that. Brown
has indicated that he expects to de-
liver three legislative votes from Elk
hart county to the governor when the
election Uf senator is on. In further
ance of this plan it is understood that
Representative V. w. Van Fleet will
be candidate for the state senate to
succeed me, E. E. Mummert will be a
candidate TO succeed himself as repre-
sentative. and new man will be Sc
lected to make the race for the other
seat in the House. That is the pro-
gramme, according to my information,
but / doubt very much II it can be
carried out. While / am a very warm
admircr of G )yernor Durbin, and if it
were a choice between him and an
other new man for United States sen-
ator l would be for him, feel that as
between him and Beverage must be
for the latter. see DO reason for the
retirement of Senator Beyeridge,
while there are many reasons why he
should be returned to the senate. He
has had the advantage Of one term S
experience, has served with credit to
himself and to the state and is en-
titled to the Endorsement of a re-
election.
81 am satisfied that fully nine out
of ten Of the republicans of Elkhart
county are for the reelection of Bev-
eridge, and for this reason believe
that Brown will be unable to carry out
his plans AS matter of fact. shall
probably be candidate for the senate
myself if Van Fleet comes out as an
avowed Durbin candidate.
1t was well known In Marshall
county that Walter Brown Was made
district chairman to prevent il posi-
BILE the reelection of Senator Bever-
idge and all the postmasters Of this
county were lined up to assist him.
Mr.. Dausman will find the same men
this year in the same boat, and II they
cannot reflect Brown chairman OF the
district COMMITTEE they will try to elect
a man who will be puppet in the
hands of Brown & Co.

How They Get Ice Cream sodas.

From the New York Press.
They were tiny tots, and. judging from
their clothes, they were poor. But they
managed to get their glass Of Ice cream
soda daily-sometimes several Of them.
They live near a certain West Side cor
ner drug store, and all day long these little
tots (there are two of them) hang around
that corner. first on one street, then on the
other. The drug store is one Of many that
give paper checks for cash purchases, and
as the customers make their exit the chill
dren step up to them. Oh. bless you, not in
any begging fashion. Nor in any annoying
fashion whatever. They are exceedingly
pretty youngsters, to begin with, and then
they are so engagingly soft and well-man-
nered.
"Do you care for your check7 suggests
the older boy, pushing back a rebellious
curl and looking with a careless grace full
into the eyes of the outstepping customer.
There is not a sign Of any OIL the prophecies
being violated And nine out of ten Of the
customers hand him over their paper checks.
Many of these are 5-cent checks. When
the boys get dollars worth the drug store
allows them a nickeIs worth of anything
in the store. They invariably choose ice
cream soda.

Marvels Of Corn.
From the Cosmopolitan.

From the Cosmopolitan.
Thousands of practical instances could be
given to show the value of improved varie-
ties of corn. For instance, one southern
Illinois farmer, more progressive than the
rest, was induced to secure enough im<
proved seed to plant three hundred acres
as result of his study of corn in the I'LL
nois College Of Agriculture. These three
hundred acres outyielded all Of the other
fields on his farm more than thirty bushels
an acre, and. so far as could be deter
mined, the fields of that entire section
yielded about thirty bushels an acre. This
increase of yield meant a total gain of
about nine thousand bushels, which repre-
scented a cash value of about $4,000 that
season. AS this increase did not represent
an increased cost of production. the gain
was pure profit. In another case a farmer
in Central Illinois became interested In i'm
proved seed corn through the school Of
corn pudging in the Illinois Agricultural
College. He secured enough seed. grown
by a corn breeder, to plant eighty acres.
AS result he raised almost twenty-five
bushels more an acre on this field than
where the ordinary seed was planted

the term was once understood.
"City time in the old days was determined
by the meridian passing through the city

To have it right he took an observation at
noon Just as they do on shipboard and
thus got real New York time. Nowadays

HORSE WHISPERERS.
Tanners Of Horses in Ireland and a
Secret That Died With Them.


Secret That Died With Them.
From the Golden Penny.
Ireland, as we'll as the far north of Scot
land, had-possibly still has-its horse
whisperers," though the ''brotherings''
which give such permanence and geniality
to the Scottish "plowman's whisper never
seem to have existed in the sister island.
Irish "whisperers'' have been lonely men,
whose secret has generally died with them
The most famous "whisperer" Of modern
times was James Sullivan Of Dunhallow,
whose exploits are fully detailed in Town
sends Survey Of the County of Cork" No
horse was ever brought to Sullivan which
FESTIVE animals he would master in a few
minutes For exceptionally vicious horses
he took about half an hour, during which
time he shut the stable door and forbade
any one to open 1t till he gave the signal.
When the door was opened the horse was
seen lying down and Sullivan by his side,
playing with him as child does a puppy.
There was no tying up of the fore leg. or
his ascendency was obtained no one could
tell: ''naturai intrepidity," suggests Mr.
Townsend, who was an eyewitness of many
of his surprising feats. Anyhow, II he
must have learned IT very imperfect1y. for,
though he gave himself out as his fathers
successor he never showed the same power
and soon fell into disrepute. Many bril-
liant offers were made to him, but he could

became almost equally famous, and was
often urged to explain what was the secret
of his influence. But O'Hara treated his
ouestioners as Samson did the Philistines
deluding them with various unsatisfactory
answers. At one time. for instance he said
the secret lay in rocking the horse-put-
ting one hand firmly on his crupper, and
with the other grasping his shoulder, and
then swaying HIM to and fro, gently at
first and gradually increasing the motion
till you throw him. At another time he
protested that his plan was to bite the ami
mails ear. Both these are well-known
Jockey tricks: the stubbornest horse, they
say, will be wholly subdued by being
thrown twice or thrice; and IL you can get

works by kindness, 1t stands to reason that
that method supposes the entire education
of the animal to be in your hands. II you

It's true that there are no distinctive styles

At my age we must be freer in some par

I don't quite see what you mean by that,

No gamer or greater horses ever looked

carnated a tradition Of the trotting turf
that is revived again in the Cleveland

tradition had 1t that the mare. because OF
her finer lines and higher nervous organ

affirmed by the honors won by these two
great mares and by the subsequent success

Old Home Week.
From the Boston Transcript.

The old home idea is not only spreading
In this country. but is getting so expansive
that it promises to be an International Gus
tom. Going back home'' is a movement
liable to be contagious. as any one who
understands the philosophy of the senti-
ment which underlies 1t can understand,
and those who have come from foreign
countries to ours to. earn a living will, as
they watch the happy ones who come to-
gether in old home week here resolve that
sooner or later they will pass through a
similar Joy. According to all signs the
first country to adopt our old home week
idea, with amplifcations, of course, will
be Ireland, and it wouldn't be surprising
If many Of those returning there from here
just made the return permanent as a re-
suit of the enactment of the Irish land bill
by the British parliament.
