CAN THE NATION ENDURE?
by R. A. ADAMS
(The Literary Service Bureau)

In the opinion Of many, you are an
alarmist, a fanatic, or just a common
fool, if you bewail the reckless Bo-
hemianism. the lowered ethical stan
dards. the corrupted social taste, and
the unquestionable evidences of NOR
al decadence of this age. You are
a pessimist, II worst, a cynic, If you
see in these departures auguries of
certain Destruction.
Every day, the press tells stories
Of men and women who trade wives
and husbands; thousands Of women
no longer conceal but flaunt their IL
licit sex association; in print, women
sanction almost every kind of moral
departures; many are the cases Of
the "Oedipus Complex" and sex as
ISOLATION between fathers and daugh-
ters, mothers and sons, and brothers
and sisters; children are murdered by
parents and parents BY children; daily
murder records attest the cheapness
Of human life, in America; graft. cor
ruption, bribery, shameless betrayal
Of public trust are Of daily occurrence
and common knowledge; and all of
these crimes are on the increase.
Only the wilfully blind viii fail to
see the conditions, and it viii require
no philosopher to realize that these
things spell destruction, even though
thoutands foolishly and blantantly
quote.

The fate Of Nineveh, Capernaum,
Babylon, Greece and Of Rome viii be
the fate of America, unless there
shall come rapid reformation and a

A double foul was called on VIII
Hams and Walker, both scoring to

The Bison offensive came to life
when Carter took q long, hard pass
and scored a basket from deep right,
followed by another in rapid success
sion from the left side Of the court.
Then Parker caught a sleeper and
scored a double decker from under
the basket to give Howard a six

Upon resuming play, after Carter
had boosted the Bison lead by two
more points, Davenport, Union guard
got his only field goal Of the game

(by o. ]. B-URCKHARDT)

The Legislature assembled Monday

But deeds which virtues true reveal.
Religion is not JUST to shout.
Or something fine To talk about,

Less what we say, than what we dol
Religion is not love, confessed,
But love revealed, in every test

Federal Home Loan Bank Board
Mr.. William E. Murray,
Secretary to the Board
Washington, D. G.
Dear Mr.. Murray:
l appreciate the communications 1
had with you some time ago in ref
erence to the Federal Home Loan
Bank Bill.
After Speaker Garner had worked
hard to put over this bill for the bene-
fit Of the masses. who are the great
est sufferers during these times. from
my Investigations | find but very few
have been fortunate to obtain same.
Eligible according to regulations and
statements, but from some other
source they are denied.
Through a great deal of procedur-
es, with many communications on the
end / received the information this
loan could not be obtained in the
State Of Nebraska. The state as a
whole was greatly stimulated to the
extent, thinking they would be sue
cessful in saving their entire life's
labor up until the present time. their
homes.
It is extremely difficult for prop
erty owners whose homes are under
going liquidation to secure loans of
any Kind. 4 number q foreclosures
are being brought about when a small
loan would help to tide them over.
and Tor which I thought the Federal
Home Loan Bank Act was provided.
It seems the larger concerns that
are more greatly fortified are given
many small concerns that keep these
most consideration. but it is the
larger businesses going, and they
should be considered, realizing it is
not in your power to change or modi-
fy this bill.
If the property owners Of Nebras-
ka had received the information in
the beginning that they could not Sc
cure this loan, a great deal of eff
forts and time spent along these lines.
trying to accomplish what it seems
was impossible. would have been
jeopardized. 1t seems the Federal
Home Loan Bank Bill has been util-
lied by larger corporations, and the
masses left with NO consideration.
l continued time after time to make
Investigations, not from the stand
point of securing same for myself, as
l can ecure a loan here if it is nee
essary, but fer the benefit of others
who had the securities. and tried to
obtain loans here from different as
sociations. but were not successful.
I was DESTROYS Of finding out if
this loan could or could not be OBJ
tanned, and if l had received the direct
information in the beginning as l re
ceived a few days ago from Mr.. Chas.
A. Myers, Director of Field and Ser
vice, of the bank located in Topeka,
it would have jeopardized a great deal
Of time and expense. I suppose it
takes a part of all of this to make a
life.
Thanking you very much for all in
