Gems of Architecture
in India and Italy

TAI Mahal Is the costliest private
tomb in the world, and was built by
the Indian ruler Shah Jehan as a final
resting place for the remains of his
tayOrite wife, Mumtaz-i-Mahal, "the
pride of the palace" This mausoleum,
which is accounted by some critics to
be the most beautiful building ever
constructed, is one mile east of Agra,
and its erection covered a period of
p years, starting in 1929 and ending
In 1850. 1t is built entirely of white
alabaster, and is believed to have cost
over $9,OOO,OOO
Saint Peters church is the largest
and most imposing Christian church
In the world, but is not conceded to
pass the architectural beauty of Tai
Mahal. The approach to it is through
an open space, the Piazza di San Pr
etro, which is elliptical in form, COW
ers several acres and is surrounded by
cOlonnades, or covered driveways. In
the center of this piazza stands a red
granite obelisk 80 feet in height, which
was brought from Egypt in the days
Of Caligula, but was not erected here
until the Sixteenth century, when the
church was in process of construction.
About the walls on the interior of
the church there are affairs, chapels,
tombs, and innumerable works of art
while beneath the center of the dome
rises the high altar, at which only the
pope or specially authorized cardinal
may officiate; and above this towers
the great bronze caffopy, 90 feet in
height. The total cost of the building
is estimated at about $50,000,000, and
considerable difficulty was experienced
In raising this sum.

POLITICAL CHATTER
Thy VANCE CHAPMAN

According to Ruben Thoreen, in
charge of Republican State Head
quarters No. in st. Paul, organiza-
ton of the party working forces is
about completed and the final drive
for the big clean up November next
will start shortly. The task, those
connected with the new Republican
state organization say has been a
strenuous one as the old organlza-
ton rolls contained much in the way
of "dead end down" and consider
able new timber had to be located
and drafted in order to bring the
lists up to date. When things do
start it will be with rush. The
next step will be the organization OF
the state capitol crowd, which
strange to say has displayed line
of indifference hardly in keeping
with its active past. This apathetic
condition seems odd when it is
known that practically every resi-
dent of Capitol Hill is dependent
upon Republican success, but 1t is
true nevertheless and is not i'm
proving with the days. Promises
however, have been secured from
Gov. Preus and others prominent In
state departmental way that state
capitol workers will be on the job at
the proper time and that there will
be no let up in activity until the
| close of the campaign. 1t is stated
that his excellency will shortly take

the national and state tickets. 1t Is
said of w. F. Brooks, National Re,

employed number OF solicitors
whose Job is the collection of $3.50
from each LaFollette sympathizer in
the state. Of this amount fifty
cents goes to the solicitor and the
remaining $500 is divided equally
between the national and state La

on this hoggish attitude and the pos

cate says: ''It will mean not only
that thousands of dollars will be col

most serious.
Word is to the effect that United
States Senator Shipstead will shortly
begin a six weeks speaking tour of
the state in the interest of his SEN
atorial colleague, Magnus Johnson.
Well, if Magnus was ever in need
of help it is right now as from all
accounts his Republican rival, Tom
Schall, is getting the crowds and
what is more he is holding them.
Press reports covering Mr.. Schall's
speaking engagements are certainly
painful reading for Magnus. Added
to this is the statement by the heads
of the Railroad Brotherhood that
Schall's candidacy is favorable to
the Brotherhood and that the organ
ization will keep out of the Mime
sofa senatorial fight this year. Aid
ed by his faithful wife Tom is max
ing from two to three talks a day
and his audiences are invariably
large numbers. His speaking tin
erary, his m anag gers say will
carry him through to the end of the
campaign and will include every
county in the state. Considering his
physical handicap Mr.. Schall is blind
the Republican senatorial candi-
date is putting up a campaign that
is wonderful. So far is regarded as
the best Republican bet.
Crest assured Gov. Preus and his
official family will be in the thick of
the fight for Republican success this
year." said a prominent state depart
ment head last week. ''The gov
ernor is most anxious for Repub-
lican succession and has requested
every member of his official family
to give every aid possible. Partial
verifcation of this was had this
week when his excellency, taking
advantage of the presence of Con-
gresham Tom Schall at Grand
Marais and Grand Portage, delivered
two well received speeches in which
he made an earnest plea for support
for the Republican national and
state tickets. Minnesota he said had
prospered under Republican rule
and he hoped it would be continued
by the election of Theodore Chris
Hanson and the entire state Repub-
lican ticket. Possible non-participa-
btion by his excellency and those re-
! sponsible for his past political sue
cesses in the present state campaign
have been responsible for much rid
| iculous gossip of late, but his talks
at Grand Marais and Grand Portage
give the lie to such. Jake Preus's
past political successes have been at
the hands of the Republican party
and it is hardly likely that he or his
following will desert the party in
this its hour of need. No, Jake may
be too ambitious to suit some people,
but he is not an migrate.
