thu governing regime, was envisaged
by Premier Mussolini in speech re-
viewing Italy's foreign policy before

to II Duce's remarks. adopted the
budget for the foreign office Of which
he is titular head.
when q country is weak and dis
ordered it can have no great foreign
policy" the Italian dictator said.
THE Italian people must be unified,
the masses made compact. to be heard
abroad. We may say with all assur-
ance now that Italy is being heard
and respected: we may add that
through the fascist regime Italy to-
morrow will be still more respected
and still more feared"

Rural Romance

Frankfort, KY. May 23.-(P)-A ru-
raj romance that didn't end happily
has given the Kentucky court Of ap-
pcalS something to work on. The case
is before the learned justices on sew
cral angles. which have to do with
breach Of promise. dog licenses, and
Sabbath observance.
The best an ordinary layman can
set out Of the mass of briefs, petitions,
etc. is this:
Miss Kenova Damron and Wayne
Hall. OF Flemingsburg, were engaged
to be married Sunday. Feb. II, 1929.
Hall didn't show up for the wedding.
Miss Damron felt injured to the ex-
tent of $11 $50, and sued for 1t.
Hall says he doesn't owe her any
thing. He says relative Of Miss DAM
II was delegated to buy the license
and bought dog license instead OF
a marriage license, showing it around
to other relatives and friends of the
girl. thereby exposing him to great
ridicule.
Moreover. he says, Sunday Is legal
holiday on which no business can be
transacted legally, and he can't see
that he ought to be penalizcd for
not breaking the law in that respect.

Buffalo. N. Y. May 23.-tNEA)-
The recent student riots at Des
MoineS University were only the sur
face symptoms Of widespread dis
ease which has afflicted all phases
Of American life. both In and outside
the university world.
This disease is modernism-the at
titude OF the Liberal" section of Prot
estantiSm as opposed to the orthodox
tenets of the fundamentalists.
Unless the country as a whole turns
back to the old-time religion and re-
stores the Bible as an unquestioned
authority. this disease may bring con-
sequences for the nation which will
he disastrous.
This is the way DR.. r. r. Shields.
president of the Baptist Bible Union
Of North America. and head of the
board Of trustees at the Des Moines
institution. sums up the recent af-
fray in which he was the chief target
for missiles from a mob Of 200 excited
students.
DR.. Shields came TO Buffalo inn
mcdiately after the Dcs Moines riot
to attend the convention of the Bap-
tiSt Bible Union.
Upheld by Trustees
He and the members of the board
Of trustees described the trouble in
detail, and DR.. Shields had the satis-
faction of seeing his action over
whelmingly approved, while the con-
vention was unanimous in accepting
the trustees verdict that the stu
dents charges Of improperly. levclcd
at DR.. Shields and Miss Edith Reb-
man, the boards secretary, were ut
terly without foundation.
One Of North Americas most mill
tant champions Of the fundamentalist
program. DR.. Shields was caustic III
his criticism Of the modernism which
he contended, lay at the bottom OF
the trouble at Dcs Moincs University.
THE fact is,' he told this inter-
viewer. modernism is a corrupting
and disintcgrating principle wher-
ever 1t Is found. 1t works havoc in
the home, in the school, in the church
and In the state.
Repudiatcs All Authority
Modernism in principle is a
reputation Of all objective authority
and makes every man a law unto
himself. Everybody knows that the
negation Of authority. both in in
dividual and social life, brings dis
order and confusion.

Especial 10 The Trihunel

DICKINSON, N. D.. May 81. A.
Coffey, former judge Of the fourth
judicial district. has lost his suit toj
oust r. G. Mcfarland as Judge.
In decision handed down today
Judge Thomas H. Pugh dismissed
Coffey's suit against Mcfarland.
holding that Coffey had failed to
sustain charges that Mcfarland had
violated the corrupt practice act in
the campaign last fall In which he
defeated Coffey for the judgeship.
Coffey had served as Judge for is
years prior to his defeat.
The suit decided today was the Sec
ond which Coffey had lost in his ef-
fort to upset the result Of the elec-
ton. He first attempted to enioin

later charged Mcfarland with violat-
ing the corrupt practice law. The
first suit was decided against Coffcy
several months ago.

rupt practice was had about six weeks
ago at jamestown.
Coffey brought two actions for final
consideration at the April 8 trial.
One was an action in equity seek
ing the annulment Of Judge McFar-
lands election. charging that he,
violated the corrupt practices act in
the election Of Nov. 6. 1928. The other
was an action under q different
statute which was . contest between
the two jamestown men for the risht
to the office.
The case was one Of statewide In
terest which has been the cause Of
q legal war between the two men
since Nov. 8, 1928. .
Upon request Of Attorney General
Jim Morris, the supreme court early
IN January declared Mcfarland Off
cially elected and installed Is Judge In
this district. Until that time Coffey
had demanded the salary for the Of
flee and refused to give up the
judges chambers in the Stutsman
county court house in jamestown.
