Michigan Gov. Asks Spiritual Revival
In the United States—Says “We
Are At Crossroads of American life”
CHICAGO, June 3.—Governor Lu
ren D. Dickinson, of Michigan, assert
ed yesterday the United States seems
“headed for social, moral, and finan
cial ruin and decay rifht now” and
called for a national revival of “spirit
ual living.” .
He addressed a throng assembled
in Soldier field on Chicago’s lake
front for a mid western Christian loy
alty rally which sponsors described as
“the greatest Christian demonstration
of the decade.”
“Influential periodicals are asking
if we are a cesspool of profligacy, beer
gardens, roadhouses, galmbjing dens,
crime, insanity, social putridity, and
Belshazzer leasts like those of ancient
Greece and Rome and if so, what is
the cause and what are the remedies,”
he said.
“In other words, _ are we at the
cross roads of American life?”
The 81-year-old Bibleteaching Gov
ernor told the gathering of church]
people that “the source of the $15,
000,000,000 that J. Edgar Hoover (di
retor of the Federal Bureau of Inves
tigation) says this country is paying
annually for crime must be traced to
its origin if we are to correct the
causes for crime.”
“With millions upon millions spent
to care for the mounting thousands of
insane and the steadily increasing
millions affected with venereal dis
eases, suggests that physical, mental,
and moral danger to the nation itself
and commands investigation to find
the cause.
“With billions spent beyond our in
come, with no relief on unemployment
lines and with the burden of taxes
above anything heretofore and with
ruinous indulgences foreign to our for
mer American living, resulting in
murders, suicides, divorces, diseases,
licentiousness, calls for other investi
gation.”

“Fes” Goes To N. Y.
The “Madam” To
San Francisco, CaL
E. L. Fesperman, who has been vis
iting his son, L. D. Fesperman, the
past week, left Wednesday for New
York to take in the Big Show there,
after which he will start the long trek
for San Francisco, by gradual stages,
to see the Big Show on the Pacific
coast. While the madam will not go
with him to New York, she will meet
him in San Francisco. “Fes” is tak
ing it easy in his “old age," and is
one of the few typographical boys that
we know who seems to be at peace
with the world. When “we” get old
probably this “peace” will come to “ns"
—one cart never tell. Here’s luck “Fes"
to you and the madam as you jour
ney onward.
