LONDON DOUBTS WHETHER
PARLIAMENT WILL RATIFY
JEWISH GUARANTEES

London: (By !. ]. P. b. A feeling
which can very justly be called n
great fear exists among the Jews here
in the matter of the ratification Of
the treaty between Poland and the
allies containing the Jewish guaran-
tees. As is known, this treaty will not
come into effect in spite Of the fact
that Paderewsh signed It, il the Po-
lish parliament should refuse to rati-
fly it. In view Of the latest dispatches
from Poland concerning the fury caus,
ed by the treaty containing the jew.
ish guarantees, there are good reas-
ons to believe that II the treaty Is
finally ratified II will not be until af.
ter a vigorous fight in its favor,
At the same time prominent polti-
clans figuring on Poland's anxiety to
show the world that there are no
grounds for charges Of anti-Semitism
in Poland, are Of the opinion that Po-
land will affix its signature to the
treaty after some little time will have
passed.
DR.. Dillon, the well known conser-
vative journalist stated yesterday
that neither Poland nor Roumania will
carry out the guarantees for minor
ity rights even IL they should sign |.

bases his opinion on the fact that these
points interfere with the sovereignty

for the purpose of liquidating the GEN.

All the delegates were unanimous

that their condition is very bad, that
in fact, they are ruined.

AN INCONSISTENCY.

The fellow with the money is the one you
should honey, and give him some more, so
he won t get poor, and live on the husks and
the burnt bread crusts, like the man with
none that lives on the run, to give you the
wealth while he has the health. Why buy
from the poor, who sleep on the floor, when
three blocks away you can always pay, the
money that s yours, to the fellow with the
"chores?" When you buy from the king,
it puts you in the ring, where the money
goes round then hides in the ground. The
man that's poor, don't have to get sore, for
not being rich with golden pitch, for he's al
ways been in the fix he's in. So let him
remain in struggling strain, that the rich
may live on the things he gives. A man told
me- ''I'd much rather be rich mans slave
than poor mans knave, for then [ can
work, and sometimes shirk, and yet be
found, though fed on the ground. When the
man that s poor pulls open the door,
where the moneys in piles and he gets the
"tiles,'' he always overlooks his old time
pets, which makes me feel like grabbing
veal and carckng his head that's all full of
"lead.' The rich gets richer if the poor is
the pitcher; now who is to blame for such
crooked game? Let s patronize men though
they are thin that the world be titled and
the bins be filled, Of what the gods provide
for men to divide, then the poor will vanish
and the rich won't famish. In other words
do, unto others as you would have others
do, to you and the crew. The man with the
money shouldn't get funny because the
poor has none and lives on bon but give
them a chance to make an advance and then
will the world, round the turbulent whirl,
pass to the right and avoid fight. Incon-
venient it is to have no "liz," but to hell
you 90, if you have the dough, is what was
said in the book we read, when Iazus of old
by Dives was told. no food he had for the
poor old lad. So, let the rich and the poor,
stand together on the floor and receive from
the room the Grand Bridegroom.

BUT TWELVE RIGHTEOUS.

When Divine wrath was visited upon the
sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Lord
promised Abraham to spare them from
destruction if but ten righteous could be
found within their limits Needless to say,
the saving ramnant could not be found and
the Scripture tells us that these ancient
cities were destroyed in shower Of brim-
stone and fire.
The Republican majority in the House of
Representatives made slightly better
score on the side of righteousness at the
session just closed, as twelve votes were
cast in favor of eliminating the abominable
"Jim Crow' car from the railroads of the
country. Whether the twelve righteous
will serve to save the party from the visit

Origin of "Gone West"
From the Tulsa World

The war gave us many new words and
phrases. 1t is none too early to fix defi-
nitely their origin so that disputes of the
future may be unnecessary. Perhaps lone
is more pathetically expressive than gone
west" the soldier term that came to
De almost Universally a5op::ad 20 designate
death. From whence came this phrase
and why?
In a book review appearing in the New
York Times recently a very interesting ex-
position is given. 1t is explained that
more han 5000 years ago the ancient
Egyptians spoke of the dead as 1.-The
westerners," or those who had gone
west For the abode of the dead was
believed to be in the realm of the setting
sun, in that Amenti where Osiris reigned.
This belief by the ancients in the soul
going west has at least reflection In the
customs of some Of our own North Ameri-
can Indian, who cherished the belief that
their happy hunting grounds" lay in the
west. and who practiced the custom Of
laying their dead away In well provisioned
scaffolds facing the west.
So quickly did the phItlse become a part
OF the vocabulary of the soldier in the
trenches that today 1t would be difficult
to find a reading person in all the earth
That docs not instantly perceive its affec-
tionate pathos.

CATTLE BRANDS ARE

stage where it's brands for live stock
We're so numerous n 80 many of them
old and abandoned that an entire re-
vision OF them seemed the most deSir-
able way to solve the steadily growing
difficulty Of recording new brands
Consequently the 1919 legislature
passed an act for n re-recording OF
all brands.
The law went into effect July l, and
before August / the brand commission
sent out q notice to every brand owner
to submit his designe, letter or charac-
ter of brand, whatever it might be, for
re-recording. The replies are now
coming in with great numbers, and the
brand commission is having all exist
ing brands, now in use, r~e-recorded.
Under this process the old, unused
or abandoned brands will Of course mob
be reported-and so the law provides
that January l, 1926 all brands not
re-recorded before that date, are auto
matically cancelled. Consequently all
owners of brands must have their re-
recording don before hat date, in
order to continue their brand in force
and effect.
New brands can be had, if they do
not conflict with others-and by Jan
uary / the entire matter of registration
of brands will be up to date, ready for
new entries.
South Dakota has over 10000 brands
in force now, some of which will not
be re-recorded, as they have long since
been abandoned by their wners.
