''Life is Short-TeI the Truth"
The Same ROoftree.

The Same ROOftree. -
Prof. Albert Hopkins of the Scien-
tific American, tracing racial stock
says: mo great case can be made for
any superiority Of certain races over
other races. The great peoples of the
earth have not been of pure race. All
of them have been like us, the pro-
ducts of slow but effective racial mix
ture."
There is no scientific stand for the
man who feels that his racial stock
is superior to other stocks Nature
makes nothing of snobbish distinc-
tions, which are essentially man
made. She evolved the white man as
the world ruler but if the white mans
race is run, another race may come
forward and it may be black or yell
low. From a primitive standpoint, all
races have the same rooftree.

Medieval Spain.
Spain is a triumph of medievalism.
All civil rights have been suspended.
Courts are dispensed with. Trial by
jury is no more. The courts, or as
sembly, is forbidden to meet. An iron
ring of militarism governs the coun-
try.
And all the time Spain is slipping
further back. The country is filled
with poor people, Legitimate business
cannot and does not thrive in an at
mosphere of suppression. SPANS for
eign war, waged for decade in AT
RIGA, is bottomless pit for men and
treasure.
The crowns last act was to confis
cate the estates of the writer, Ibanez,
because he criticised the tyrannical
government. Alphonse brought civil
suit against Ibanez in Paris, where
the author lives, but withdrew it.

full Caves of World"

that a few hours before his lecture a
conference committee of the House

priation of $4,000 to construct a
tunnel which will give tourists easy
access to the marvellous underground
chambers
Both still and motion pictures OF
the cavern, taken by the light of
magnesium flares, were shown by DR..
Lee In describing his explorations.
The pictures disclosed huge marble
and alabaster stalactites and stalag
mites, great domes and pillars. in
tricate formations like those OF coral
reefs. and delicate tapestrylike ex-
panses of wall. The big room of the
cavern. he said. is $50 feet below the
surface Of the earth, extends for half
a mile. is $50 feet wide, and has a
ceiling from so to $50 feet high.
Countless smaller chambers are found
on several levels.
The cavern is 2s miles from
Carlsbad, New Mexico, in the midst
Of a desert country. Its existence has
been known locally for some years,
but its extent and the unusual nature
Of it's features were brought to light
only by the expedition which DR..

MANHATTAN, Kans., February IA.
DIR. William NJ Jardine, president
Of the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege, here, who was selected today
by President Coolidge to be Sec
retary of Agriculture, will bring to
the cabinet a man with first-hand
knowledge Of agriculture and per-
sonality with rugged Western back
ground.
Once a "cow puncher," a "broncho
buster" rail cutter and ranch hand,
DR.. Jardine has a sympathy with the
farmer and ranchman and q compre-
hension of his problems based on in
innate experience. He is said to be
the best authority in the country on
dry farming and the growing of wheat
and the grain sorghums.
DR.. Jardine has been an outspoken
advocate Of the farmers interests
In addresses he has declared that only
10 per cent of the troubles Of the
farmer can. be remedied by legisla-
ton, that the other 80 per cent must
be solved "by the farmers them
selves and their immediate associates,
the business men of each agricultural
community" He gained considerable
attention when in 1924 he voiced op-
position to the McNary- -Haugen price,
fixing bill. He viewed the plan as
based on unsound economic theory,
saying that what the farmer wanted
was to be let alone.

the post of war minister, has been
relieved of his membership in the
council for labor and defense, 1t is
officially announced
He will be succeeded or the coun-
ell by NJ. w. Frunse, the new war
minister.
This deprives Trotsky of all con-
nection with the Soviet government.
but he is still a member of the CEN
party, his fate In this connection re-
naming to be decided at the party
congress in April. 1t is thought like
1y that he will not be reelected to
the committee, but that he will be
retained as a member OF the party.
Trotsky now Is recuperating from
his illness and writing his memoirs
at Sukum (Sukhum- kaIeO on the
Black Sea, and appears to have been
all but forgotten by the Russian pub
lie.
The rank and file of the red army
remain Indifferent to his fate, and
the government officials seem to have
greater peace of mind since his de-
thronement. His political demise was
attended by profound silence on the
part of the press and public, not a
single editorial or cartoon appearing
to mark his passing.

fortunate Mistake"

day by Archbishop Curley Of Balti-
more in reference to a punch-board
system reputedly operated by the
Carmelite Fathers of Washington to
raise funds for various purposes was
termed as IAN unfortunate mistake"

proved 1t, nor had they received any
money from 1t. 1t was also explained
that there was shrine to the Little
Flower OF Jesus at the retreat house
here, and that IL had been authorized
by the late Cardinal Gibbons.

Little Flower of Jesus had been a
Carmelite Sister. and for that reason
the order at Washington was inter
ested in erecting a national shrine,
but emphasized that the punch-board
system had not been adopted to raise
funds.
