1T is useless to forbid larcen-
cv when the deacons make large
church contributions out of ex-
cess profits wrung jointly from
labor and the ultimate consum-
err"
That statement was made by
Vice President Marshall at re-
cent church mass meeting, and
in those few words lies one Of
the secrets Of the waning power
of the church. and of the rise OF
wickcdness and selishness IN
this land of ours.
Man can not praise the Lore
ON Sunday and serve the devil
ON Monday and still retain tn,
respect of his fellow men.
The man who is reasonably dc
cent but makes no pretension tC
Christianity can be respected
for Just what he is. for his very
honesty in admitting his lmpcr
fcctions is commendable trait
But the one who wears The
cloak of the Lord to hide tn,
work Of the devil is deserving
of Just what he receives tn,
contempt of all people VIII,
know him as he is.
There are good deacons an,
there are bad ones, The goo,
ones do much toward the elevg
ton Of the human race. Tn
bad ones besmirch the Who'll

This was the appeal made by John

There was pending IA bill. commonly
known as the Smoot bill, which. II
passed, would make farm mortgage
bonds subject to the income tax. This
tax ON the bonds would result in an
Increase In the interest rate on farm

THINKS OF AMERICA
(By G.. S. STRANDVOLD)

states is IN Denmark a subject
which requires systematic study,
and with the new tendency to
describe a nation on the basis Of
the traits and characteristics of
the people. much emphasis is
placed on what is now called the
psychology of the peoples.
Other Sources Of Impressions.
Whatever impressions the
child receives in school are, of
course. soon supplemented
through other channels. Letters
from emigrated relatives and
friends are important in this
connection, and it is a notewor-
thy fact that most of these let
tiers laud American conditions.
Emigrants do not write back
home unless they meet with sue
cess in America. If they are dis
appointed or make a failure Of
their career in the New World.
they do not write letters. They
prefer to suffer in silence. and
only some day when their sun
arises once more they gather
courage to tell about it. This
never broken chain of optimistic
letters from America to Den
mark is one of the strongest fac
tors in formulating opinions Of
the United States here.
What Newspapers Said.
Information about America
through newspapers was former
ly rather perverted. The press
stressed only the sensational
features of American life and
manners. and at one time not
so very long ago-it was, in all
truth. possible to imagine that
the United States was country
chiefly populated by pistol-car-
rying Indians. train robbers and
Chinatown feudists. and that the
most typical feature Of American
literature was that created by
the Nick Carter school.
But a change set in. It can be
traced pretty accurately back to
the Spanish American war when
the United States found first
opportunity to assert itself IN
such a way as to make impress
sion upon the world in general
True, the American attitude was
misunderstood in many quarters
for it was said and believed tina,
Uncle Sam had become imperia
listic and was looking for con
quest in the traditional and ap
proved Old World style. Soon
, however. the truth. as all Amer
, lean knew it then was disclosed
, to the Danish people.

Mexico City, May 13.-Gen. Jacinto
Trevino left N'exico City for Apizaco.
Puebla, saying he went to save the
life of President Carranza.
The presidential train was reported
surrounded by the forces Of Gen.
Reyes Marquee, and, according to re-
ports received, 800 Carranzistas had
been killed. 1t was feared here that
600 survivors would be overwhelmed.
Courers from Puebla City brought
news that all trains carrying Carran-
"a government officials were halted
near Apizaco.
ALI reports available here seemed
had joined the revolutionary move
ment, either occupying Vera Cruz or
had surrounded that port.
A possibility exists that Carranza
left the train at Munos, just northwest
Of Apizaco and fled into the noun
tains of Puebla.
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, who fled from
the capital, disguised as brakeman,
April ID, returned at the head Of sew
eral thousand troops Sunday.
From Tacubaya, few miles south
west Of Mexico City, the presidential
candidate rode on prancing bay
through crowded streets to the ma

General Obregon mounted to the bal
cony of a hotel fronting the Plaza de

speech.
The appearance Of the Sonorans

heavily bearded, and the right sleeve
dangling empty at his side, was the
signal for cheers.
