to Warrant a Clash Between . the ;

"There Is not ono chance In toii

This statement waa made to mo by
a member of the American govern
ment , whose relations with President
Hoosovolt and Secretary Hay are so
close and contldontlal that It may well
be said ho spoke for them.
"Naturally the president and tbo
secretary of-stnto cannot make public
utterance In .such a question. But
their views and the views of the lead
ing members of the government hero
are so well Known , that I am able to
reflect them with accuracy. To many
readers it may seem that any such as
surance is superfluous. And yet
your correspondent , during a recent
journey In the Northwest , was ofteji
asked the question If there exists any
serious danger of the United States
becoming embroiled In the hostilities
between Russia and Japan. More
over , the somewhat oxcltod and al
most hysterical outgivings" the HUB-
sian press , prompted in part by the
' RuKsiun government Itself , have sorv-
' ea to increase the feeling of anxiety
'and to add to the -fear that sooner or
'later1 the United States may bo in-
' volvod.
- It is also true , as anyone may dls-
cover by leaving Washington and con
versing with tbo people out in the
.states , , that tjiero exists just a little
jrepidatlon , on tie | score of President
Roosevelt's" supposed love for mili
tary operations ahd his penchant for
getting into any muss that may bo
going on in bis neighborhood. This
feeling does exist to sonjo extent , ami
it exists among the very men who
most admlro the president. They do
not believe ho Is rash or that ho
. would wantonly take steps which
might plunge this country into war ,
but they feel that If , through the qxl-
Agencies qf'j'circumstances'n strityjqd
j ] rorupiiwxire | ( 'tft ' ar 'so * between / tho.
IwtjnfUid'.States' ' nnd RuSsla , the jyesj-
- . , dent might , not be as discreet and 9 u- ,
lloim as , for InHtnncc , Mr. McKlnloy
would bo , wore ho still alive and In
the presidential chair1.
On tlicno accounts I have nought
Information ax to tbo actual state of
opinion In our government with ref
erence to this | KSHlblllty. Such In
formation I have sought In the high
est quarters. There Is hero not the
slightest fear that the United States
may bo drawn within the vertex of
war. There IB no doslro that tbo
United States become Involved.
There IB no belief thatthls country has
any stake In the outcome of the pres
ent hostilities which could In any
probable contingency warrant the
drawing of the sword by the United
States.
ProHldent RooHOVolt ban just an
much Idea of embroiling hlfl country
In war with Great Urltaln , or Mexico ,
or Italy , an ho has of taking the part
of Japan agalnBt Russia , which of
course , moans that ho ban no thought
of mich a thing and never ban bad.
.RuHHlans may feel that American
Hympathlofl are with Japan ; theymay
feel that there exists n real danger
that the United States muy , In tbo
end , lake part In the struggle on the
Japanese side. Hut their fears are
groundless. The only way In which
Russia could draw the United States
Into hostile action would bo by mak
ing war upon the United States , nnd
no ono In his senses believes Russia
will do Htich a thing as that.

fire this morning. The Nye , Schnei
der elevator was discovered to be
ablaze , at o'clock In the morning by
J. M. . Hutc'heson , who was just" return
ing from . ' _ a drive into , the country ,
and by great good luck the flame was
extinguished soon after.
A tiny tongue of fire had eaten its
way up the side of the building and
was just licking off the wood , prepar
atory to consuming the whole plant ,
when chemicals and -water were
thrown upon it. The people of the
town got out in a hurry and worked
hard to save the elevator.
The fire started from the exhaust
pipe of a gasoline engine , which had
heated a chest until it burst out.
ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.
Most , people find lots of comfort in
a sick doctor.
When a poor cook makes apple pie ,
the top is most as hilly as Atchlson.
When a .woman , 1ms children of the
croupy age , she looks like goose
grease , from November till May.
A grass widow writes the Globe :
"Atchlson people are very thoughtful
and kind. I have been here for five
weeks , and no one has asked about
my husband. " ; * <
Your mind Is a funny thing. You
think and think , and try to do the
best thing possible , and then do the
worst thing. A man wrote a play.
Ho .intended putting it on the road ,
The venture would cost him a good
deal of money. A good name meant
success. So he thought and thought ,
nnd finally decided on the "Punkin
Husker. " The name meant nothing.
It killed the play , and the .author lost
nil the money ho had. He did the
worst thing possible after doing his
best. Ho thought nnd thought , and
brought his judgment to- bear on the
question , and then made n fool of himself -
self , You have often done the same
thing. ' Isn't it remarkable that all ot
us do not fear that which we call The
. .mid ?
