yENIZELOS AGAIN LEADS THE COUNTRY HE RESTORED.

The return of Venizelos to Athens and hrst place in Greece is fitting thing. He has been there many times and is admitted to be, even bv those who have thrice banished him to his native Crete to be the first citizen of his country Indeed one of the leading English international critics declared that Venizelos was the greatest statesman to have any part to do in the World War and that he did his part better than anyone else The critic, with indis- putable accuracy declared that Venizeos has done more first and last. for Greece than any man since the ancient days when Athens was the center of culture and civilization. His was the genius that gave Greece her own when Turkey was crushed by the Balkan States His was the eenius that gave Greece her own in the World War conflict and the sediment that followed. He has proved again and again that he knows how to prepare for war to make war and to get legitimate and logical results for his country after war. And he was even a greater ieader and wiser statesman in peace than in war The reason assigned for his last punishment was Tn itself an acknowledgment of his transeendant ability and popularity with his people It was contended that it was not well for one man to be SD completely leader that his will was law and from his word there was no appeal
 May he continue in power until the end and when he departs from life there should be erected monument in Athens upon which there should be inscribed a legend that would convey to future generations the knowledge that his contemporaries recognized Venizelos as the build CT of modern Greece The future generations will recognize it anyhow, but the monument would testify to the prescience of the present generation.

mass of our fellow citizens, or that any considerable number of our fellow citi- zens, can be influenced by such narrow bigotry as to refuse to vote for any thor oughly upright and fit man because he happens to have a particular religious creed. Such a consideration should never be treated as a reason for either supporting or opposing a candidate for political office.
 Are you aware that there are sev- eral States in this Union where the majority of the people are now Cath olics? l should reprove in the sever est terms the Catholics who in those States Cor any other States) refused to vote for the most fit man because he happened to be Protestant and my condemnation would be exactly as severe for Protestants who, under reversed cir cumstances refused to vote for a Cath ollie.
 In public life I am happy to say I have known many men who were elected, and constantly reelected, to office in districts where the great majority of their constituents were of a different religious belief 1 know Catholics who have for many years represented con stituencies mainly Protestant, and Pro testants who have for many years rep resent constituencies mainly Catholic; and among the Congressman whom I know particularly well was one man of Jewish faith who represented a dis trict in which there were hardly any Jews al all. All of these men by their very existence in political life refute the islander you have uttered against your fellow Americans.
 l believe that this republic will en- dure for many centuries. If so there will doubtless be among it's Presidents Protestants and Catholics. and very probably at some time. Jews. I have consistently tried while President to act in relation to by fellow Americans of Catholic faith as I hope that any fu- ture President who hapens to be a Catholic will act toward his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people.
 In my Cabinet at the present mo- ment there sit side by side Catholic and Protestant. Christian and Jew, each man chosen because in my belief he is peculiarly fit to exercise on behalf of all our people the duties of the office to which have appointed him.H In no case does the mans religious belief in any way influence his discharge of his duties. save to make him more eager to act justly and uprightly in his relations to all men.
 The same principles that have obtain ed in appointing the members of my Cabinet, the highest officials under me- the officials to whom is entrusted the work of carrying on all the important policies of my administration, are the principles upon which all good Ameri- cans should act in choosing whether by election CT appointment, the man to fill any office from the highest to the lowest in the land

ROOSEVELT ON RELIGIOUS
 INTOLERANCE.

Tn these days when there is an attempt t' make religion an issue in our politics, whei Gov Smith is being opposed for the Presidenc. because he is a Catholic, it is probably wortl while to give a thought to what the late Presi dent Roosevelt thought on that subject. In l9O William H. Taft, the Republican nominee 10 President. was attacked on the ground that h was a Unitarian and because, it was alleged, hi brother was Catholic and the nominee himself wa too friendly to the Catholics Many letters wer written to President Roosevelt on the subject an he was urged to induce Mr Taft to declare wha his religious beliefs and inclinations were. Pres dent Roosevelt answered one of these letters froi J. O. Martin of Dayton, Ohio, saying anon other things:
 I have selected your letter to answer because you advance both the objections commonly urged against Mir. Taft, name ly that he is Unitarian and also that he is suspected of improper sympathy with Catohlics.
 You ask that MT. Taft shall let the World know what his religious belief is" This is purely his own private con- cern, it is matter between himself and his Maker, a matter for his own con- science and to require it to be made public under penalty of political dis crmnation is to negative the first prin- ciples of our government, which guar antee complete religious liberty a--d the right to each man to act in religious affairs as his own conscience dictates.
 
 If it is proper or legitimate to op- pose a man for being Unitarian. John Quincy Adams, for instance; as is the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, at the present moment Chaplain of the Senate, and an American of whose life all good Americans proud--then it would be equally proper to support or oppose man because of his views justica- tion by faith, the method of admin istering the sacrament, the gospel of salvation by works If you enter on such career there is absolutely no limit at which you legitimately stop
 So much for your objections to MT Taft because he is Unitarian. Now for your objections to him because you think his wife and brother 10 be Roman Catholics As it happens they are not; but if they were, if he Roman Catholic himself, it ought not to affect in the slightest degree any mans sup porting him for the position of Presi- dent You say that the mass of the voters that are not Catholics will not support for any office. especially for President of the United States, who is Roman Catholic

Fort Madison, Iowa. The Wester-
hausen's raised the girl to woman
hood, having come to Davenport
early in the twentieth century.
About five years ago her German
foster father told her before he
died that she was not his real
daughter, and gave her a Swedish
document.
The girl took the paper to the
Rev. Arvid p. 'Chindblom, pastor of
Grace English Lutheran church,
because she could not read Swed-
ish. It proved to be a character
letter from the Lutheran church in
Stockholm and contained the name
of the Johnstons and was the first
clue to Esther's parentage.
Mr.. Chindblom laid the matter
before the Swedish consul in Chi
cago and advised Mrs. Kreiger to
write to the American consul in
Stockholm. In a short time, the
Davenport woman was notified
that her parents were attempting
to trace her.

Let the Dairy Cow
Market Feed Grains

The dairy cow furnishes bet
ter market today for feed than
ever before, says II. R. Searles,
dairy specialist with the agricul-
tural extension division, University
of Minnesota.
Mr.. Searles has been compar-'
ing prices and finds that while the
prices of dairy feeds have increas-
ed "a per cent since 1914, butter
fat prices have mounted about
70 per cent in the same period.
"In 1914, with butterfat selling
at 80 cents a pound, the 300
pound COW returned 500 at a feed
cost of $45, or return over feed
cost of $45," says Mr.. Searles.
Gin 1927, with butterfat at 81
cents a pound, the 300-pound COW
returned $153 at a feed cost of
about $50, leaving return over
feed cost of $97. This COW, then,
in 1927 returned $50 more over
feed cost than she did in 1914.
Translated into terms of return
over feed costs, the increase in ia
vor of 1927 has been around 115
per cent.
"It pays to feed grain to good
cows. For the man who has the
cows they are better market for
this feed grain than the elevator.
If he is short of grain he can afford
to buy it at present prices. The

age will greatly increase his in
come for the roughage he is selling

"Gow testing association re-

a verdict for the defendant. The
verdict was returned after the
first ballot, following some inter
esting sidelights that were inject
ed into the case by ]. B. Hinsl,
attorney for the defendant in the
action.
The action was brought by the
Cammack Piano company against
Stanley Koblenski, a Little Falls
concern and a Stearns county res
ident. The piano company, in
good faith, brought suit to recover
$500 due on piano, toward which
Koblenski had traded an old pi-
ano as down payment, giving a
note for the remainder.
The defense brought out, after
the note had been proven and the
amount of the claim proven, that
the agent who sold the piano for
the, company had, without knowl-
edge of the company, entered into
second contract with the defend
ant.
In the second contract the de-
PENDANT was to purchase 800 gal
Ions Of liquor at $500 per gallon
and the agent agreed to purchase
it at $500 per gallon at the resi-
dence of the defendant and the
defendants profit would wipe out

The agent appeared for the IL
quor and was refused the liquor
and the money on the ground that
the liquor contract made the
entire deal illegal. His company
brought suit on the note, noA
knowing the second contract ex-
listed.

see whether the girls or the boys
are the best at keeping secrets.
Perhaps after all the members of
the weaker sex are not such awful
takers after all.
Little hands have been very
busy of late making Christmas dec

being used as decorations.
We are all rejoicing with Bar
bara that she has learned to read
