GLOBE SIGHTS
BY THE ATCHIsON GLOBE

A crazy man always thinks he is pretty
smart.
One occasionally meets man who has
more enthusiasm than sense
Remember that you haven't always
convinced a man when he agrees with
you
An aviator who falls four hundred feet
and gets over it. ought to take the hint
It's a good thing there are no court
costs in the trials your patience undergo
A woman always thinks a man IS
shamefully negligent about writing to
kin.
Some auctioneers talk 50 fast they
should be promoted from colonels to gen
erals.
A hermit is apt to have enough concert
to think the world misses him good
deal.
If man gets good deal Of mail. he
gets a good deal that doesn't interest
him.
No woman should carry mum large
enough to make her stoop shouldered.
A CRATER who falls victim to another
mans game will make the greatest fuss
about it
You will observe it is the alienist enl-
pioyed by the defense who thinks the ac-
cused is crazy.

THE SECRET OF THE HILLS.
Keen is the air and calm; the black frost
chills
Earth to the bone. and winter twilight
dies
Slow in west of smoIdering pageant
ries,
The heaven in tense still expectation
thrills.
Aloof and silent brood the ancient hills,
Their age-long taciturnity defies
The fruitless questioning of curious eyes,
But our unsated craving never stills
Mans sense is clouded; vainly he aspires
Their mighty hidden secret to behold
Not till his eager spirit he can mold
To their unquestioning stiffness shall
he feel
Their broad tranquility his soul en-
fold,
Their whisper soothe his restless hearts
desires.

4 IEM Is No LESS A CITIES.

It's an eminently righteous protest
that the Jewish citizens of the United
States are renewing with vigor against
a discrimination at the hands of Rus
sia. They are denied the right OF en-
tering Russia on business or pleasure
even if they are possessed of a proper
passport issued by their adopted land
This is in direct violation of the treaty
on commerce and navigation which
has existed between Russia and the
United States since 1882. The demand
of the Jews is a reasonable one that
the United States abrogate this treaty
unless Russia gives assurances that
she is willing again to live up to the
spirit and the letter of it, and admit
within her confines such American
Jews as knock at her doors.
Russia observed this treaty as it af-
fected all American citizens, Jews in
cluded. for fifty years, or until she be-
gan some score of years ago to wage a
relentless crusade against the members
of the Hebrew race. Until that time a
passport issued by the secretary of
state of this country was all that an
American citizen, Jew or Gentle,
needed to travel at will throughout the
realms of the czar. Since then, how
ever. or during the past dozen or fif-
teen years, the American citizen who
| proposes to visit Russia must take the
passport issued by this government to
some Russian consul in this country
| and have it vised by him, before 1t
will be accepted by the policemen on
the cars borders. An applicant for
such consular endorsement has to give
a history of himself, including the re-
ligion to which he is affiliated. On
admitting that he is a Jew. the Rus
sian consul refuses to put his endorse
ment on the passport and it is then
/ lust as valuable as so much waste
paper in admitting its possessor into
Russia
In the first place this new rule of
Russia's which DEGREES that the pass
ports issued by the United States to
her citizens must be first passed upon
/ by Russian consuls is an insult to this
governments 1t intimates that the
United States word is not sufficient
that the person to whom it issues a
passport is citizen and worthy in
every respect to be treated as one.
! But in refusing to accept such pass
ports from Jews, Russia has gone de-
cidedly too far. The Jew born in this
country. or who has been properly
naturalized, is just as much a citizen
of the United States as is an Irish
man born here or naturalized- Such
Jew is just as much a citizen as is
a descendant of one of those who came
to this country in the Mayflower. And
as such he is entitled to all the pro-
lection that this government gives to
its citizens. He is entitled to all the
| privileges that this government eX-
/ tends. Surely there is no one to say
that among the Jews of this country
! there is not as large a proportion of
worthy and respectable people as
There is in any other race Russia has
no right TO discriminate against the
Jewish citizens of this country as she
has been doing. 1t is time some at
tention was being paid to their de-
mand that reprisals be made.

HOW TO USE RED CROSS SEA

WORLDS RECORD BY STATE cow

Bozeman, Montana, May 2S.--
A new worlds record for milk
and butter production by a Jersey
COW was made for the week end
ing yesterday noon, by Polander,
a COW belonging to the Montana
Agricultural College. The tests
we're completed this afternoon.
The highest previous records for a
Jersey COW, five years and over
were held, according to the Offici-
al Bulletin, by Jacoba Irene,
whose best record for week was
444 lbs., GA OF. of milk; and 20
lbs, ,8.S or. of butter-fat. Poland
er's record for week ending at
noon on May q, was 1902 lbs. of
milk; and 21.246 lbs. of butter-fat.
The College authorities are very
proud of the record. and give
much of the credit to the herds
man, Oscar Tretsven, who has had
charge of the COW during the Win
ter. Polander is now about sew
en- years old. She was purchased
in 1908 by Prof. r. w. Clark OF
the department of animal indust-
ry at Claremoot, Mimi, from a
Polish farmer. 1t is known that
Polander's sire was pure bred, but
it is not known whether her dam
was pure bred or not. An at

pure record for her. When she
was first purchased she did not

breaker, but she has gradually

Regarding the attitude of the

labor: There is no reason in the
world, if this matter is shown to
the laboring classes in the right
light, whv there should be the
slightest objection from them.
To begin with, the. laboring man
who owns his own home pays the
biggest per cent of the state taxes,
which goes to maintain the pen
itentiaries and other state institu-
tions. The good roads are Of
more benefit to the farmers and
the laboring classes of people than
to any other class. There was a
slight objection to this work in
the beginning here in Colorado from
the labor unions. However, when
the matter was explained to them,
they withdrew their objection s

BALL FANS ARE BUSY:
HARLOW WINS TWO MORE
Recent Meeting is Guarantee Of Good Ball Season.
Sunday, Har|owton 5, Round House 3,
Tuesday, Har|owton 9, Ryegate 6

The round house boys showed up
strong both in the field and at bat.
while the regulars were "A little
weak with the stick and did not
solve Shocks (the round house
twirler) curves until the fifth in
ing After the fifth there was no
scoring and the game ended 5 to 3
in favor of the regulars. The
game demonstrated that Harlow
ton can support two ball teams
and with little practice the round
house boys could give any of the
nearby aggregations a game worth
seeing.
Tuesday, memorial day, Harlow
ton crossed bats with the Ryegate
farmers. The day was ideal for
the great national sport and
many sore arms were relieved of
that stiffness, which cold spring
has been responsible for. The
game was called at 2:3O sharp and
witnessed by the largest crowd of
rOoters ever seen on the Harlow
ton field. Herb Hawley umpired
the game to the entire satisfaction
of all.
The Ryegate nine is composed
of a bunch of clean manly sports
and do great credit to a town this
size. The game was characterized
by some ragged work in the field
by both teams, but taken as
whole was good game. The final
score resulted 8 to 6 in favor of
HarlOwton. A return game will
be played at Ryegate in the near
future.
