abundance to fit the poor of th$ir race
for cRizensbip, Is proof of generosity
and race pride which might well be
Imitated by the people of any religion
or any race. The Jewish charities,
on which money is spent so freely
here, all harp an educational stde.
They fl tthelr new arrivals for useful-
ness, self-support and Independence
at the earliest practicable moment.
That being so, it is hard to see why
It should be necessary to distribute
the oppressed whom they rescue over
the Pacific coast, Australia and South
Africa. The Jew Is a born trader,
not an agriculturist nor a manufac
turer of those primitive wares which
are in demand in new civilizations.
When he is educated the Jew be-
comes a poet or literary man, and,
above all, an artist. If the theater
and the concert stage were to be rob-
bed today of all the actors and musi-
cians having Jewish blrjSsd in their
j veins, music and drama would lx* al-
| most a desert, with a few great names f
standing up in almost painful isola- !
j lion and with hardly support enough
| to give creditable . performance of
plays or operas. Those arts and the
commercial pursuits in which the
Jews excel are the flower of civiliza-
tion. That people not only thrives
best, but does Its best Bervice to the
race as a whole In large cities. The
poor Jews are probably better off any-
where on the face of the earth than
in barbaric Russia, so 1 Eat efforts
to get them away from its oppres-
sion are natural and helpful. Hut
schemes to distribute taem through
raw civilizations, where the rough
work of the world is yet to be done,
run counter to the strongest human
Instinct. Every man and every race
Is drawn as by a magnet to the spot
where the work which he can do
best awaits him! The same lnstlct
which sender the Anglo-Saxon to sub-
due the waste places of the earth
takos the Jew to cities, where his
commercial and artistic instincts may
find freest development and fullest re-
ward. The fact of obvious fitness
and the growing record of useful-
ness Is overcoming slowly, generation
by generation, the prejudice of cen-
turies. Movements for the disper-
sion of this people flow plainly coun-
ter to the current of evolution und
can be only temporarily successful at
the best.

dent within lite city limits. The two
cases wen carried up to tlie- court of

RAISING MONEY FOR WAR.
Japan and Russia have began
financing for the struggle that appears
inevitable, Japan has set aside $25,-
OdO.OOO from her Chinese Indemnity
lund, while Russia will raise lends
by making the sale of lea and sugar
a state monopoly and by taxing these
two necessities will tie aide to raise
a large sum. The Russian govern-
ment is not in as good financial con-
dition as Japan. Russia has a na-
tional debt amounting to over $3,(ton,-
000,000—about $25 per capita, while
Japan's national debt does not ex-
ceed $200,000,000—or $4.72 per capita
of her population. Besides the Japan-
ese liave an immense Chinese indem-
nity reserve fund.from which to draw.
The Russian- government levies a
burdensome tax on Its people annu-
ally. Its revenues amount to nearly
$1,000,000,000. in order to raise thlH
amount the government has a mono
poly of the sale of brandy in Russia
and now comes the Information that
In order to gel money with which to
conduct a war the government will
assume exclusive sale of tea anti
sugar.
Of course Russia is a great nation,
with a population three times as large
ns Japan's, and with her splendid re-
sources is able to borrow large sums
of money In the markets of the world,
itut Japan also has a neat credit anti
would experience no difficulty in
doubling her national debt. So It
would appear that the little Yankees
of the orient are much better fixed
financially than is Russia.

Society
Globe Sights.
(From tlu- Atchison Globe.)
No one can claim to be old-fash-
ioned thrifty who diotsn’t go to bed
early, to save fuel.
An Atchison man Is so anxious to
tell nil he knows that he p-lltf sc fo.t
damaging to himself.
The person who says he lias no -te
crets. Is as big a storv teller as the
one who says ho never told a In-.
When n man Is in love wliit his wife,
otlict- women are seldom honest enough
to give her the credit she deserves.
We have noticed that despondent
people Buy most about jumping Into
the river at the time when it is frozen
over.
"That girl is so tall," a man said of
tin Atchison girl recently, 'That if she
were to fall down she would lie lit'.:'
way home.”
Christmas Is the climax of an an-
nual eontest In a woman's heart be-
tween pleasing the children and wreck-
ing their father.
Along about this timeV>f the year a
woman dorsn't think It so wicked for
a man to smoke: it Is so hard to buy
a |.resent for one who doesn’t.
Every time there Is a crowd of
young folks in the parlor having a
party, there Is ati old man In another
part of the house trying to get some
steep.
We don't know why doctors sey the
dyspeptic* should lx’ given the white
meat: the women have always been
content with the backbone, anyway.
They are. telling of an Atchison wo-
man who doea all the work for a 1ms-
lu.nd and seven children, who took tip
Christian Science solely for the pur-
pose of making the world appear pleas-
ant to her.
Ar.treanps try to create the impres-
sion that the men are forever plead-
ing for the privilege of buying them
wine and supers. Still, there are mll-
Hcn» of men who never bought wl.te
or suppers for actresses, and who have
no nmbltlon to.

I- would he funny enough If a woman
couldn’t fool a man when she can ft, >|
herself.
When Christmas comes it is tt sign
that the rook, having got her presents,
is really going.
When a boy tracks mud in his
mother's parlor and she doesn't box
his ears It, is a sign the minister
calling on her.
What a woman loves is to have n
beautiful Christmas and then fljid it i,
a dream, so there is another still entil-
ing to her.
