FRIENDSHIP

Minerals lie buried in the bosom of the earth, Gems and precious stones that's true But the cheeks are gladdened and rosy with mirth, When the friends you have are with you- They are not rough stones buried beneath The fondest glance of the human eye They cheer you and surround you like Q wreath. --Ah, how they make the years fiyI Friends of mine regardless of color or creed Or language that's spoken-how joyful to feed On the memories of a joyous past Spent in a city ripe and fast With the spirit of friendship.

Washington, May 20 Senator Borah has decided that he won't campaign for Governor Landon # the latter is nominated for the presidency.
 Something may happen to change Borahs mind. But 1t will have t0 be something more than the recent overtures from Landon representa- ttves who have invited the Idaho senator to help write the republican platform.
 Hoover roped in Borah in
 1928 by giving him virtually .
 4reO hand with the platform.
 PlankS covering dry law enc
 forcement, corruption, and pub-
 Ilcity for campaign expendi-
 lures were inserted as the sens
 atOr desired them.
 The farm plank finally adopted incorporated enough of BorAh's ideas to cause him to support it. on the convention floor. The one plank prepared by Borah which wasn't accepted was, the one con- demning the Coolidge admi1istra- tion's Latin American policy.
 But Borah now feels platform blanks aren't very nouriShing. He became the chief 6. o. D. cail1- paign orator in 1928, but after four years of Hoover he was 50 disappointed that he took no part in the 1882 fight.
 py Won't Endorse P. R.
 He now is said to regard Landon as Q candidate backed by the du Fonts, Hearst and reactionary eastern bosses. He expects to take Q walk" and keep out of, the presidential campaign.
 HE, HAS NO THOUGHT or EN- DORSINd ROOSEVELT, WHOM HE REGARDS AS AN ENEMY OF THE CONSTITUTION. %s
 The senator isn't committing himself publicly, however. And the Landon forces haven't given up their efforts to conciliate him.
 4 conversation with Landcn himself might change his attitude and some effort to get the two men together is virtually certain. MOrgenthau May Lose
