...that was possible in laying his case before the administration. And he did all that was possible in laying it before the people, but it has already been forgotten in the welter of Father Coughlin and the liquor laws. Mr. Warren now has the monetary inner track, and Mr. Ezekiel spins agricultural codes with Oriental quickness and fecundity, but it can scarcely be argued that their position is not more precarious than that of, say, a minor department head in the Bureau of Fisheries...

When Sculptor Lee Lawrie designed the eight figures for the base of the tower of the new $10,000,000 State Capitol at Lincoln, Neb. he gave his Ezekiel a beard. Last week Nebraska Bible students protested. A beardless...
