PAGAN LIFE OF
 TODAY IS WORSE
Far More Shocking Than in Ancient Days, Says
 Holy POntiff

Vatican City, March 5-(U.P)- "The pagan life lived nowadays Is far more shocking than the ancient one," the Pope said to-day in an address to the Lenten preachers Of Rome, outlining the ills to be con- demned in their sermons.
 "The worst i'll is represented in the intense pleasure-seeking in the present days of mankind" the Pontif4 said. Nudity existed only in art in Ancient Greece and Rome, whereas to-day it is the object of worship.
 ''To-day's impudicity is worse than the Pagan age. It is defined with the horrible blasphemy of the use of worship of nudity Not even the old Pagans led such a pleasure-seeking life as the pagans of to-day.
 Another pagan tendency is rep- resented in the audacity with which virtue is mocked and endan- gered."
 Lent starts tomorrow with the Ash Wednesday services.

PALMER. Alaska, June 29.-The Matanuska Valley colonists had the assurance today of Eugene Carr, special representative of the Fed eral Emergency Relief Administra- tion, that they, their livestock and their supplies would be adequately sheltered before winter. He arrived here yesterday from the States.
 He told colonists if there was not enough skilled and common labor on the job he would get it at once. He said he would have the colo nists properly prepared before the rainy season and promised the re- moval of all dissatisfied settlers and the elimi n t ion of misfits among the workers as rapidly as possible.
 His arrival gave an impetus to the construction of log cabin homes. The building program is being pushed rapidly to get the colonists in permanent homes.
 The Rev. o. A. Aasen, field or ganizer for the Lutheran Church at Anchorage, said that discontented settlers did not include more than 5 percent of the total number of families.

 Consolidate COnseruaties?

and none denies that it is a serious problem, indeed.
 The meeting at Springfield gave ample evidence of the desire for union which burns in the breasts of so many Republicans.
 Parts of the conference declara- ton of principles read like de- fense of the Democratic party against it's present leader. The Democratic platform of 1892 was quoted from literally, in scarce ly concealed effort to show that MT Roosevelt had bolted his party organization Al Smith was ap- plauded, and the conference spell binders spoke sweetly of other out standing Democrats who have re- fused to go along with the new deal"
 The filtration even reached a stage where one or two speakers openly invited dissatisfied Demo- crats to come over, and hinted that substantial rewards-such as second place on the ticket-might be ex- pected.
 On one point, however, there was not the slightest sign of conces- sion There was to be no thought of abandoning the Republican label, which most of the dissenting Dem ocrats detest so heartily. On the contrary. the c. O. P. was to be given re-birth, and reestablished in greater grandeur and glory than ever.

 The important question about the Springfield Republican conference, from the viewpoint of the practical politicians, is whether it helped today consolidation of conservative sentiment" in opposition to the re- election of MT. Roosevelt.
 That such a consolidation is highly to be desired by the opposi- ticn is recognized generally now by anti Roosevelt leaders. Almost with out exception they voiced convic- tion that the President can be de- feased next year if all those who distrust his experiments, and be- lieve his policies depart from sound American principles, can be induced to vote together for one opposing candidate
 Whether that estimate of the situation is correct or not. it is the actuating factor behind the present maneuyerings in the opposition camps.
 The thought of the leaders is that preponderance of public sen- timent hardly can be mustered to the loft of MT. Roosevelt, and that tc oppose hsm with battle-ground candidate. looking both to left and to right, would be suicidal They see their hope on the right
