A WISE SELECTION


Democrats from coast to coast
and from Canada to Mexico can
not help but feel that in the selec-
ton of Gov. Alfred E. Smith as
candidate for president of the
United States the convention at
Houston picked the logical STAN
dard bearer for the party.
The Democratic party in be-
slowing the highest honor it can
accord to any man has professed
faith in his ability and integrity
and his loyalty to those principles
which the party has upheld since
the time of Thomas Jefferson.
Gov. Smith is not only a man of
high ideals but man of action as
his wonderful record of achieve
ment testifies. This man with a
humble start in life has through
his own ability and energy won
national recognition and esteem.
Lacking in formal education he
has nevertheless aquired through
his keen brain and untiring effort
a scope Of knowledge suited to the
qualifications for the highest Of
flee in the land.
Four times chosen as governor
of New York he has gained the
confidence of ten million people.
IF in November he is elected to
the highest office in the United
States he will continue his career
as a public servant and use the
power vested in him to the best
interest of the 120 million people
under the American Flag.

in this age old town. he found the church nearly in ruins and report ed to his superior that it needed repeirs badly. A committee of build CTS and engineers were commission ed to investigate and found that the complaints of the priest were just, whereupon workmen were sent and the job of reconstructing the edifice some 500 years old was begun.
 It was necessary to remove enc of the side altars in order to get at the floor and it was while the workmen were dismantling this altar that they came upon the valuable col lection of coins which was buried ill a small chest under the table of the altar.
 Coins 532 Years Old
 The workmen reported their find to the pastor and a few days later he wrote to the directorate of the National Museum in Posen. who sent numismatists to Lekno to make an examination of the coins. They found them to be authentic and then proceeded to Posen>with them to hold q consultation with re- searchers and historians as to what could be the reason for this con- paratively large amount of old coins buried in the altar for so many cen- turies. A study of the coins revealed that the oldest coin was of the time of Ladislaus Jagello. who reigned in the years 1396-9S, and the newest of stephen Batory, l576-S6. The trea- sure evidently was buried during the interegnum after the death of King Batory.
 The kings of Poland in that period were elected and after the death of King Batory two years elapsed be- fore the next king was elected and in the meantime much disorder was evident in parts of Poland. Lekno was in constant danger of being at tackled by the Prussians who finally raided the town, killing most of the inhabitants and burning practically all buildings. The inhabitants sens ing the danger held a hurried con- sultation and decided to collect all valuables and leave the doomed town. There were some. however, who remained to defend the place of their birth and their belongings. Knowing that the odds against them would be tremendous they collected all money and entrusted 1t to the priest, who buried it ill the altar Came the avalanche of the Prussians and all who had knowledge of the whereabouts of the buried money we're massacrcd.
