Brookhart, if unseated by the Senate at
the end of the contest now being considered, is
certain to run against Cummins. Unless there
is a violent change Of sentiment in the next six
months it is conceded that Brookhart can beat
Cummins. If Brookhart retains his seat, how
ever there are are other strong contenders Of
the Brookhart school that Cummins must de-

Administration faces the loss of Cummins dis

"A Sermon for Today


rising tide of crirninality Is that
youthful bandits are becoming more
and more common. Almost every
day we read in the public press OF
hold-ups and robberies committed by
mere lads. This makes the situa-
ton all the more serious.
And yet, for my part, am not so
much alarmed over this crime situa-
ton. 1t is a symptom and not the
real disease. 1t is only one of many
other symptoms OF the same disease.
Booze parties, petting parties, las
ciyious literature. the divorce evil,
gambling and crookedness in bust
ness, are among the other symptoms.
Then what is the disease? The
police commissioner quoted above
indicated the nature of the disease
in his plea for a return to God. SO
did President Coolidge in his plea
for religious faith. Irreligion, irrev-
erence for God, materialized state
OF mind. Herein is the source of
all the evils which are so menacing
our security and peace as to create
such widespread uneasiness and
concern.
IL these evils are to be extirpated
we must strike at their root source.
We must get back to the Bible and
God. back to the church and religion.

and will heal all thy backslidings. /"

Farm leaders, business organiza-

been aroused by the plight Of the
farmers. Governors of eight mid

and Congress has been bombarded
with appeals for relief.

The Politics of 1t

|NlOU probably are surprised at the appar-
4 ent readiness of the President to with
draw from the position he assumed in his Chi
cago speech on farm relief. You note the news
from Washington that the Administration is
inclined to get in line with the demand of the
corn belt voters for some kind of an export
corporation that will hold up the price Of corn.
And you wonder if the President s convictions
are SO lightly held that they can thus be upset
in week.
Must be some kind Of politics in it, you say
and you may be right
Here's one thing, of general nature The
farmers are joining with their demand for an
export corporation widespread protest
against the present tariff Give us what we
want, they are saying, or we will vote the tariff
out of existence. Which is enough to give the
President or any other New Highlander real
concern.

nature: Senator Cummins, member of the Re
