Seeing Things.

There are certain people who have lot OF fun

paper political writer in Minnesota who when there
a dearth of news, would go to his friends and
beg for something which he could base a
rumor."
The story that the Jews are organizing to con-
troll the world and all of its existing governments
IS OF that sort. There may be Jews who have that
dream. This would not be unnatural They have
been for centuries the almost universally sup
pressed, dispersed and oppressed people of the
world
They have not only survived, but have grown in
power, in numbers and influence, while aintaining
their purity of race. They have shown marvellous
persistency in type, and if only the ttest survive
in this universal grind, thy can claim their own
fitness. But to charge that as race they are aim
ing at world governmental dominance, is born of an
Imagination that rivals Rider Haggard's.
The Jews in the world war proved beyond pre-
adventure. wherever they had been decently treated

ton which rivaled in its expression the loyalty of

COMPLAINS OF TREATMENT OF
SOLDIERS.
TO the Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
I would like to invite your atten-
tion to the following occurrences
which took place in Washington
during the past few weeks:
A soldier is riding in a George
town car. He is seated at the front
upon the short seat running paral-
lei to the aisle. There are vacant
crosswise seats throughout the car.
Two young ladies enter. rear. with a
male escort about 80 years of age
They pass down the aisle, passing
up the cross-seats, and cram into the
seat upon which the said soldier is
sitting. The seat will accommodate te
three people at best. The soldier
moves over close to the wall, while
the trusty three jimmy their way
further back into seats. The soldier
feels himself sitting and is Obliged
to edge out as best he can and find
another seat. Not word is uttered
by the escort, before or after the
evacuation.
A soldier makes some purchases
in a drug store. He walks out with
out counting his change. Upon
reaching his room, he finds he had
been shortchanged. He reprimands
himself for his csrelessness. Two
hours later he is Obliged to go tc
the same store to purchase some
toilet articles. He counts his change
and sees that he has been short
changed again. He tells the clerk
about it, who apologies for his
carelessness. Twice in the same
place.
soldier goes to the box office OF
a theater on the avenue near Fif-
teenth street. He purchases two
orchestra seats which he requests be
in the center. When the tickets are
offered him, he slances at them and
sees the row and seat number, bu,
no Identification of their location
He asks the ticket seller il they are
In the center. The latter replies in
the affirmative. He enters with his
companion. and is ushered to two
seats on the extreme left of the
house behind a pole. Pole obstructs
the center of the stage exactIy
Center Is right.
In the name of all that is military
when will this abuse OF the men in
uniform cease? The soldier wants
malice on the part of all whom he
meets.
Keep the homo fires burning. but
don't make IL hot for the boys"

PRESIDENT TO HOLD A
STRONG INFLUENCE
OVER FRISCO MEETING
Giving Deep Consideration to Many
OF Proposed Planks.

Washington, May 2o.-rresident
Wilson is ready to hold strong
hand over-the formulation of the
Democratic platform for the coming
campaign.
The president has given deep con-
sheraton to many OF the planks
which have been proposed for the
platform, it was learned at the White
Rouse, and is prepared to assert his
views with force.
There were indications Saturday
the president and William Jennings
Bryan will be at variance on more
questions than one when the conven-
ton swings into action.
The president will stand on his
plank OF ratification OF the treaty
with nothing more than interpretative
reservations, Bryan will follow his
announced plan OF ratification on the
best terms possible.
The president will fight against the
pressure which will be brought to
bear to put the Democratic party on
record as in favor OF granting d
bonus u men who served i'll the
war. Bryan will stand lor the grant
ing OF a bonus, to he paid tor by
taxes upon war profits.
President Wilson will not differ
with Bryan on the question OF pro-
hibition. The president is in favor
OF his party standing by the present
prohibition laws and it is understood
he will aid Bryan in any measures
that may be necessary to check a
movement to secure the endorsement
Of the San Francisco convention for
light wines and beer.
On the question of universal mill
tary training, the president and
Bryan are expected to again be at
variance. The president is still i'll
favor oi modified form OF univer-
sal military training, whereas Bryan
it is believed here, will be in OPPOSE
ton to any Democratic plank i'll favor
of universal training.
The president does not look with
favor Oh the movement ior govern
ment ownership OF the railroads and
strong pressure has already been
brought to bear to induce the Demo
cratic party to indorSe such a policy
Bryan has announced himself as OPP
posed to private monopoly ri natur-
al resources and he is counted upon
as being in support OF government
ownership of the railroads.
The president and Bryan will be in
accord on the plank which will con-
Germ wonri. Both will urge that :.
plank be placed in the platform in
favor OF women being given equal
rights with men III the holding OF
public Office.
Slowly gaining his strength, the
president Is daily giving indications
OF his strong will and those close t,
him believe he will exert his will t.
the utmost during the days when the
Democratic party is laying its course
Tor the coming campaign.
