GLOBE SIGHTS
BY THE ATcHIsoN GLOBE.

Jude Johnson's hobby is big stick
pins and dirty ties.
Very few people take their SYM
pathy to a football game.
Poets are born, not made, which is
to the credit of the manufacturers.
There aren't as many Don Juans as
the conversation frequently indicates.
1t makes woman perfectly furi-
Gus to be accused of being hard
hearted
Scribbling sartorically, it is also
difficult to find an adequate excuse
for the vest.
We suppose there is always great
deal of warm feeling at a convention
of ice dealers.
If you are good enough in your
line, you will succeed; even poetry
can be made to pay.
A boy can play ''hooky'' from
school, but he can't dodge the real
work out ahead that way.
Simply because this is a country of
free opinion there is no use of hav-
ing so many fool opinions.
It is very difficult to bestow SYM
pathy on a man who breaks his arm
while cranking an automobile.
That far-away-look in the eyes may
be caused by indigestion as well as
by Love or Higher Thought.
A married man experiences some
difficulty learning whether his expla-
nations are believed or endured.
A man who has lived on a farm
will put up with several kinds of
hardshfps in town before going back.
Alienated affections aren't worth
much to anyone, regardless of the
high prices usually quoted in court.
Some people have way of looking
into the future a hundred years; so
far that it won't make much differ
ence what they see.
On returning to your old home town
if you don't see any familiar names
take a walk to the cemetery. You'll
find familiar names there.

THE SENATOR'S PENSION.

Senator Warren, of Wyoming. de-
scribed as one of the richest members
of a body not commonly considered a
rendezvous for the destitute, says he
hai applied for a Civil war pension for
two reasons. namely; He's going to give
every penny of the SIG he hopes to get
each month to charity He wishes his
war record preserved in the pension
office for the convenience and salts
faction of his children.
The gentleman is within his rights,
whether he needs the money or not, but
he is woefully wrong in his reasons. The
charity which he purposes to dispense
at the expense of the public will be no
credit to him and the country is not
spending $3.50, 10000 year for the mere
preservation of war records.
Had the senator the grace to explain
that the pension roll is a roll of honor
on which he desired an honorable place,
things would be different. AS it is, the
opinion will be approximately unani
nous that instead of applying for a
pension which he admittedly does not
need he ought to do his distributing
and his preserving at his own expense.
Surel a man of his ability and means
could preserve the finest kind of war
record without spending 1872 year,
and could give more than that to char
itv without encountering either criti-
cisrn or publicity.

SAINT PATRICK's DAY.

This is the day which perhaps more
than any other of the year except
Christmas. brings to US all feeling
of kindred. Probably the memory or
no other man is SO widely honored as
that of ST. Patrick. True, it is not
much that we do, we who are not
Irish. But the bits of green which
so many wear speak loudly of the
generation in which Ireland's patron
saint is held.
He may Or may not have driven the
snakes from The Emerald Isle, but his
tory tells US that his life was devoted
to warning on the serpent of wrong
and sin and his influence for good has
come down through the centuries
precious heritage.
Not only do we pay tribute to st.
Patrick, but to his people and on this
day especially do we who are not of
them give token of ,ur esteem for
their many admirable characteristics of
which not the least are their love of
liberty and their never ending strug-
gle therefor.

fore il, until it ceased it's course half
way down the side of the mountain.
AS it passed on it's way it tore the
trees and tangled bushes from the
front of the mysterious cave near the
top. revealing the entrance, which has
not been visible for some fifteen or
twenty years. This yawning black hole
in the side of Names highest noun
tain has fo years been the subject of
legend and speculation. While it mas
been visible at intervals. the few
parties which have set out to explore
it have never been able to find the en-
trance, although at the time OF their
departure it was plainly visible from
the country about the foot OF the
mountain.
Days have been spent wandering IN
the woods to no avail, and as the DARK
hole has been visible only at widely
separated intervals no exploring
has been able to profit py
the experience of its predeces-
sors. The presumption is that
the cave is so set in the side OF the
mountain and it's mouth so overgrown
with bushes that the opening Is visible
only from certain angles, and that
during the climb up the mountain TINS
angle is lost and the search for the en-
trance has proved unavailing for TINS
reason. The theory prevails among
some of the woodsmen that 1t is only

is 1T FAIR?

Tho gross revenues of railroads are
showing a steady increase, but not so
the net and it is said that the rail-
roads are about ready to make new
demand on the interstate commerce
commission for permission to increase
freight rates Several months ago a
committee of railroad managers or
eanized a campaign of education and
inquiry, with a view to decreasing
the opposition among shippers to adj
vances in freight rates
The argument of the railroads for
permission to increase rates is the
same as that which they advanced two
wears ago, when the interstate COM
merce commission refused to allow
the increases and when the federal
government had to take a hand in
bringing about a suspension of the
orders for the increases pending a
consideration of the matter by the
commission While the reasons are
the same, they appear to have con-
siderably more force today than they
had at that time, as the cost or oper-
alton of railroads has been greatly in
creased since then by increases in
wages to thousands of employees.
Furthermore, other thousands are TO
receive higher wages as result of the
arbitration now in progress in the
firemen's case and of prospective ar
bitration in the case of trainmen and
conductors Also there has been no
substantial decrease in the cost of ma
terials. while the demands for en-
larged terminals and general transpor-
tation facilities are steadily increas-
ing.
For all improvement in the condi-
ton or wages of workingmen or
women somebody must pay. No en-
ployer will do business long at loss.
1t seems unreasonable to ask the rail-
roads to continue operation on the
old schedule while expenses are in
creasing continually.
1t will be contended, of course, as
it has been before that a big slice
of earnings goes into paying interest
and dividends on watered securities,
but that does not apply to all roads.
The innocent should not be made
to suffer for faults of the guilty.
Given a correct understanding of a
situation the American people always
are disposed to be fair. Are we fair
to the railroads?
products, sugar or any of the trust
products brings no organized protest,
although their producers are paying
big and unfailing dividends.
Why make the railroads the goat?

ROMANCE OF SEA
Remarkable Story in CircuIa-
ton i'm London.
Aged Man Meets Son of Com
pani0n Wreck Survivor.

London. March 17.-Wiison Miner is
telling story around town which
makes Robert Louis Stevenson look
like a piker in the realms of romance
with this difference correspondent
investigated Miners story and found
it true in all essential details.
On the last eastward voyage of the
Mauretania, Miner struck up an &C
quaintance with a venerable gentle
man who had not crossed the Atlantic
for over 20 years. When the CONVEX
sation veered around to sea stories the
veteran described the awful experience
he underwent as a passenger on the
steamer Independence, bound for Aus
tralia, which was wrecked off the coast
of Lower California in 1858. There
were 142 passengers aboard, of whom
only two were saved.
And I was one" added the vet
eran-
who was the other passenger"
asked Miner, who had shown great
interest in the story.
1.-THE other survivor was Ella Wat
son. replied the old man.
Miner took his hand.
That woman is my mother" he
said.
The veteran looked at Miner in ut
ter amazement, which increased as
Miner related the story of the wreck,
how the vessel caught fire, the efforts
of the captain to beach her-often told
him by his understanding by saying:
THE name of the other survivor was
Thomas McTarr. My mother wonder
ed all these years what became OF
him.
Trembling with emotion the old man
replied:
ct am Thomas McTarr. All my life
I have been trying to find out what
became of Ella Watson and her people.
who treated me with such Kindness
when I stayed in San Francisco, where
the whaling ship which picked US up
after two days brought u.s.
Miner gave McTarr his mothers adj
dress and the veteran said his first
business on his return trip to the Uni
ted States would be to take n trip
across the continent to visit Mrs. Miz-
ner.
McTarr is a business man in Phila-
delphia, where he has accumulated
fortune,

THE GORDON LETTER.
Claimed 1t Was Written to Rev. Cor
don Months Ago.

Editor State Journal:--Why cannot
sensational preachers be honest in
their pulpit utterances, or at least at
tempt to live up to the code of honesty
usually expected from the unregen-
crate?
Yesterday evening the Rev. Robert
Gordon threw upon a screen the fol-
lowing Letter claiming it was a fac
simile of a letter that he received last
week after his sensational sermon of
Sunday, March 9th. The Rev. Gordon
know he was mislead ding his congre-
gaticn when he made the statement
and showed the letter.
I will ask Mr.. Gordon a few ques-
tions.
l. Why did you not leave the date
on the letter?
2. Why did you not tell your hear
ers the occasion that led to the let
ter being written.
3. Why did you not tell the audi
ence when you received the letter?
4. Did you not receive the letter
imm ediately following the Sunday on
which you took occasion to berate the
city administration after you had been
arrested by negro policeman, taken
to the police court and afterwards
convicted and fined for violating the
laws of the City of Topeka.
The following is the letter referred
to as published in today's papers:
Topeka, aKnsas,
Rev Robert Gordon.
1t seems to me that if you would
preach christ crucified you would be
doing more good. More real work
and less noise should be your motto.
believe you would then be getting
nearer the Heart of Topeka. Why all
this fuss about nothing. Blessed are
the peace makers for they shall be
called the children of God.
T. Gordon.
AS a matter of fact, / positively
know when the letter was written. Mr..
Tom Gordon showed me the letter be-
fore he mailed it, and it was i'm
mediately following the occasion sew
eral months ago when Mr.. Gordon
was arrested for ''jay driving" other
wise cutting corners on his bicycle.
Very truly yours,
t D. HUMPHREYS,
