government officials who have served

a brief speech, laid emphasis on the
point. that no administration had given
It's chief more loyal service. He stated
that he believed that the country had
never had a more devoted set of pub
lie servants than those men through
whom, he said, most of the work of his
administration had been accomplished.
The president said In part:
Gentlemen, you are here. nominally
as members or to meet the members of
the tennis cabinet'-that is, as men
with whom at tennis or hunting, or rid
ing or walking, or boxing, have
played, with whom 1 have been on the
roundup, or in the mountains, or on the
ranch country. But really. as you know.
YOU are not here for that reason at all
you are here because you are the men,
and because you represent the men,

RELIGION MADE

Zelaya has impressed his character
on his country in more than the killing
Of the goose that lays the golden eggs;
IN more than stopping development OF
the lowlands, which will grow every
tropical product, and the highlands that
produce no coffee which is not better
than the best of Brazil. Religion has
been made a mockery. The paganism
and Indifference which, in the name of
liberalism, Zelaya has fathered is worse
than atheism, which does indicate some
intelligence. He has talked schools,
without any Of the actual accomplish
ment which makes Cabrera a compara-
lively progressive and enlightened
ruler.
His immortality has become the pat
tern for q generation of youth. He ac-
knowledges the paternity of As children.
