Nehemiah performed a colossal
task in a statesmanlike way when
ne restored the walls OF Jerusalem
But his restoration did not stop
with such material things as wells
and gates and fair rates OF interes.
He knew that the worst enemies Of
mankind are within mans own
breast. and are in no wise affected
by the walls Of stone and mortar.
He was statesman enough TO sense
that a reformation that does not
root itself in an inner change OF
mems hearts and souls has no
abiding character and no real val
ue while 1t does last.
The Word of God Restored
SO Nehemiah gathered the peCIlc
together in a great assembly. men.
women and children, and had his
associate, Ezra, the scribe, bring
out the book Of the law OF Jeho-
yah and read Ii before the people
And he read therein before the
broad place that was before the wa
ter gate from early morning until
midday. in the presence Of men and
women, and Of those that could I'M
derstand; and the ears of all the
people we're attentive unto the book
Of the law" Had this law been
heard and needed there would have
been no captivity. no ruined walls
or desecrated temple, no power OF
their enemies over them. Their
national strength and security were
to be found in obedience to that
law. Their true safeguards must be
spiritual, not material; their re-
sources inner. not external.
The Lost Art of Revenge
Ezra's congregation teaches us a
lesson In that true reverence
which Is almost a lost art in many
quarters: And when he opened
the book all the people stood up.
And Ezra blessed Jehovah the
great God; and all the people an
swered. Amen. Amen. with the lift
ing up Of their hands: and they
bowed their heads. and worshipped
Jehovah with their faces TO the
ground" There is too prevalent a
tendency in these days to substi-
tute entertainment for worship.
and synthetic Jazz for reverence.

BE SPATTED FARMER

On the surface 1t appears to be one OF the anom-
allies Of the curious game of politics that the only
farmer-laborite member OF the United States senate
is one Of the most immaculate. be-waistcoated and
n~e-spatted gentleman in that body.
But that IS exactly what Henrik Shipstead Of
Minnesota is.
The late Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts once
characterized ~Shipstead as one OF the most promising
OF the younger senators and accorded him the re-
spect inspired by merit. Society In Washington has
done the same. The Shipsteads are accepted IN The
most exclusive circles and are liked.
At the time Of his election the Shipsteads lived N
a comparatively humble home on North Fremont
street In Minneapolis. Their taste hasn't changed
much in this respect. In Washington they make their
home on East Capitol street in the neighborhood OF
The capitol
At the present Senator Shipstead is suffering from
illness. Upon the advice Of his physician ne Is Nv

The senator IS q big man physically. He stands
6 feet l IL inches tall. and before his illness weighed
in the neighborhood Of 1875 pounds. He has blue eyes
and light hair that Is turning gray. He win be 40
years old In January.

THOUSANDS OF MexIcANS TO Be
OePORTEO BY UNITED STATES;
new LAW EFFECTIVE ON JULY 4

Thousands of Mexicans, who
Iave illegally entered the United
States through Arizona-Mexico
border ports Of entry and are now
residents in Arizona, will be return
ed to their native land by the
United States immigration depart,
ment when the recently enacted
laws Of congress become effective
July l, it was stated by R. c..
White, assistant se< retary of lab
or during his recent trip to No
gales.
The new laws will have the
same result in Texas, New Mexi-
CO and California, and TO lesser
degree as far back as Indiana, Pen
nsylvania and Michigan, the Sec
retary stated.
Assistant Secretary White ar
rived in Nogales enroute to south
ern California from Ell Paso where
he spent three days in attendance
at conference of immigration and
border patrol executives of the
territory extending from the Flor
ida coast, to southern California.
The conference was two-fold, he
stated, in that the executives con-
ferred upon the campaign of de.
portation 70 follow the effective
ness of the new laws and at the
same time discussed at length the
problem of seasonal labor situa-
tion of the states along the Mexi-
can border and adjacent territory.
While the enforcement of the
new immigration and naturaliza-
tion laws will doubtless be speed
lily and adequately carried out by
the immigration authorities and
the border patrol, the assistant
secretary said, it will require a
materially augmented force to ac-
complish that object.
This however, has been adequate
ly provided for in the budget pro-
