"The President
"Dear Mr. Roosevelt:
"a year ago at the Gridron dinner in the spirit of the
old American tradition that politics at the waters
edge pledged you cooperation and support in the diff
cult foreign situations confronting your Administration.
"That is grand principle and we must evidence our
good faith in it. 1t means there must be no demagogc
playing of politics at the expense of the counrys unity
in dangerous situations such confront
therefore, want to renew my pledge especially in
view of the fact that many members of Congress- of both
parties have forgotten this basic principle of Amer
politics and by their actions help create the impression
foreign nations that they do not trust your admnistra
ton of foreign affairs They would hamstrng your con-
duct of extremely delicate foreign situations.
These members pursuing thesame dangerous course
followed by those members of the British Parliament who
early gave the impression that England either would
not or could not fight under any circumstances.

legislation that would take away the power of Congress to
declare You and both know the American people
want peace, but they want peace that will enable to
maintain the respect of the other nations of the world

-HMy Dear Governor Landpn:
"The generous spirit of your telegram helps me to
meet the problems which confront country in the
field of foreign relations during these troubous times
"The pledge which you gave at the Gridron dinner
year ago carried force because of the patriotic motive
which prompted it. The renewal of that pledge not
only strengthens the hand of government but gives all
of our citizens good example.
81 believe that the overwhelming majority of
counrymen regardless of politics, race, creed color,
from the days of Washington to this hour have desired to
pursue the tenor of their way at peace with all
tions and all peoples.
"But throughout long history Americans have
rejected every suggestion that ultimate security be
assured by closing eyes to the fact that whether
like it not a part of large world of other
nations and peoples

leadership in maintaining standards of conduct helpful
to the ultimate goal Of general peace.

2 Victims Kidnapped,
Freed by Lone Thug
Cab DriUer Forced
To Take Bandit to
HOLdup Scene

Liberated unharmed after a
thrilling early morning ride from
College Park, Md to the outskirts
of Richmond, two victims of kid
naper-robber returned to the Capt.
tai by bus today.
The two are Thomas Hanes, "a,
of Edmonston, Md, a gasoline fill
ing station attendant, and Walter
Lox. %, a cab driver, of 26 Rhode
Island Ave. N. W.
ROBBED OF $50
Telephoning to his employer, H.
H. Follin, of College Park, from
Richmond, Hanes revealed lone
robber abducted them after stag
ing a $50 holdup at the service
station. Lox had been forced to
drive the bandit to the station in
his cab from Washington.
First reports were to the effect
that two men had engineered the
crime.
Meanwhile Virginia and Rich
mond police combined in hunt
for the kidnaper. All roads were
carefully guarded. Since the two
victims were taken across a State
line, the crime became a violation
of Federal law and created the
possibility that the Department Of
Justice may be called into the
investigation.
HANES ALONE AT TIME
The robber hired Lox's cab last
night and directed him to drive
to the station, on the Washington
Baltimore Boulevard at College
Park. Covering Lox, the robber
forced him from the cab into the
service station. There he held up
HaneS, who was alone, and rifled
the cash register. The bandit
forced them to ente1 Hanes' car,
parked near the station.
Hanes told Follin the kidnaper
made them drive through the Dis
trict, into Virginia and down the
Richmond Highway. At lonely
spot on the outskirts of Richmond
the station attendant and cab
driver were put out Of the car.
HaneS and Lox notified Rich

This writer introduced a bill on
Thursday that will be good news to
the farmers of Minnesota, especial
ly those having mortgages on their
farms which are held by the Rural
Credit Department. The present law
provides that the rate of interest
shall he not less than one-haH Of
one per cent nor more than three
fourhs of one per cent above the
average rate paid by the state for
money borrowed, and in another
section that interest on defaulted
payment on taxes, liens, judgments,
assessments or insurance shall be
seven per cent. S. F. 622, the bill re-
ferred to would reduce the interest
rate to 8 per cent and per cent
respectively. Wit hthe State loaning
money to municipalities and coun-
ties at 3 per cent and with the
bonds of many counties selling as
low as 2A per cent, it would seem
that the farmer has been the for
gotten man, and If not the financial
goat. If anybody is entitled to- re-
duction in interest rates it is the
farmer, for think it is pretty well
agreed that no farmer can continue
in business at the present exhorbi-
tant rates he is paying. Just to keep
the records traight its a liberal bill
by conservative Senator.
The sixth week of the legislature
ends, with adjournment taken until
Monday, that due respect might be
paid that man of men-Abraham
Lincoln. Were that he were here to
day to remind us that "if there is
anything that is the duty of the
whole people to never entrust tC
hands but their own, that thing is
the preservation and perpetuity o.
their own liberties and institutions.

School Districts to go into business
Ito regiment, as so many classes
are trying to do today. The bill
would permit school districts to sell
pencils, paper, books, and in fact,
all school supplies to the student
body. A few Of us, who are still old
fashioned enough to believe that
our little country merchants should
have some protection against regi-
mentation, and who are entitled to
the little profit they might get out
of selling penny pencils opposed

You've all heard of the story of
the little pig going to market, but
you may not have heard of the
story of the little Bug" going to
market. It's one of those stories
you don't see in the average column
concerning the legislature. It's Just
a bit of news behind the news and
drives home the truism that the
taxpayer is the forgotten man. A
Legislative manual, containing the
membership, list of employees,
rules, ETC., is furnished each mem
Der and others. Under the joint
rules Of the House and Senate bids
are received for the job. Last week
four bids were received for the
printing and binding of tn director
les and herein the little Bug
makes it's appearance. An old and
reliable St Paul printing firm had
the low bid, the bid being 5000 less
than the next lowest. But the high
er bid included the little Bug" or
the front page of each of the book
lets. The Bug" oh yes! That is the
insignia of the union shop. Labor
the organized variety, demands tina
it appear on every pob printed il
a union shop, and labor sees to i
that no printing goes to any shol
not unionized-in other words no
having the Bug" The Secretary o
the Senate, authorized to accept O.
reject bids, voted for the loves
responsible bid, but low and be
hold the Rules COMMITTEE of tn
House would not have it so. Tina
little Bug" must be printed in tn
book. Labor must be recognized
and it was so ordered by the Hous
Rules Committee. But things begal
to happen. 5000 was 5000, even if i
was the taxpayers money, and tn
House Rules Committee was mott

After the first week, the milk ra-
ton can be increased to 2 ounces
at feeding, three times a day. At
first a bottle with a nipple should

not dilute the cows milk because it
Is not so rich as ewes milk. The
fat content Of ewes milk is about
per cent, that of the cow about
3.5 per cent. Feed the milk at a
