Practically demanding declara-

tor Berger, (Soc. Wis., today dis
cussed the Russian refusal to honor
American passports in the hands of
jewish American citizens.
In this matter" said Berger, ''it
is evident that both republicans and
democrats are playing to the CALLER
les. The Indignation expressed by the
politicians Of the old parties is sheer
campaign hypocrisy. If they really
mean that American citizenship
should be valued as highly rs citizen
ship in the old Roman empire. when
the expression. ) an a citizen Of the
Roman empire was equivalent to
the protection Of the greatest power
in existence in those days. why don t
they proceed as ii they really meant
to make it so?
'Why doesn't our President give
the Russian ambassador his passport.
and recall Mr.. Rockhill, our amnassa-
dor, and agent of the Harvester Trust
in st. Petersburg? Our statesmen
need not be afraid that the Russian
fleet will come over here to lombard
Baltimore. Our good friends. the
Japs. have seen 10 it that there is no
Russion fleet today. And our great
navy ought TO be powerful enough to
prevent landing of Russian CossacKs

The Lifile Rows Drcnm.

The little boy smiled in his sleep that
night,
As he wandered In Twilight Town;
And his face lit up with a heavenly
light
Through the shadows that drifted
down;
But he woke next morning with tear
stained eye
In the light of the gray dawn's
CLEAN,
And out from the stiffness We heard
him cry.
I've lost my dream-my dream"
And he told us then in his childish
way,
OF the wonderful dream he'd
known;
He had wandered away from the land
of play
To the distant land of the Grown;
He had won his share of the fame
and fight
In the struggle and toll of men;
And he sobbed and sighed in the
breaking light.
81 want my dream again."
As the years passed by the little boy
grew
Till he came to the Land of the
Grown;
And the dream of his early youth
came true,
The dream that he sought had
flown;
Yet once again he smiled in his sleep
When those lear by might have
heard him weep,
Il want my dream-my dream"
For he dreamed of the Yesterdays of
Youth,
And the smile on his mothers
face;
A hearth of old-time faith and truth
In the light of an old home place;
He had won his share of the fame
and fight
In the struggle and toll of men
Yet he sobbed and sighed in the
breaking light,
II want my dream again."
