"A Strange afid Baffling Race of 'Wanderers
From Northeastern Asia"
By MANUEL GAMIO, Mexican Anthropologist.
CENTURIES before Columbut his caravels a strange
and baffling race of wauderera came from nprtheastern Asia in
ships of mystery to' discover and. develop the virgin soil of the
American continent.
With equal readiness these hardy adventurere trod the trackless
deserts and the suow wreaths of dizzy peaks. Fearlessly they explored
remote caverns apd hostile tropical jungles. Struggling through cata
clysm, hunger and epidemic, this race of bronze conquerors proved over
and over again its indomitable strength and manly will.
Artistic, sentimental, harmonious, the original Americans from Asia
built powerful empires, created strange theogonies and wise laws. They
developed a marvelous architecture and a graceful, colorful
expressed by the decorator, the weaver and the worker in metals and
precious stones.
Today this race is grief-stricken, silent and humiliated, revealing no
clue to its magnificent heritage. There is no one to understand or to re
ceive the mute protest of its afflicted soul. There is no one to wait with
devoted faith thjjt certain hour of its redemption when, cast in the molds
of modern civilization, its latent ancestral virtues will reawaken in
triumph.
Thejiighest homage of mankind has been paid to Columbus as the
discoverer of America. Several countries and numerous cities bear his
name. In all latitudes bronze and marble immortalize his genius and
poets ceaselessly srfig his odyssey. Only with Spain, the conqueror, does
Columhtis. the explorer,, share history. -
The fame of the Great Admiral is merited and justified. But his
undertaking is not comparable to the achievement of those who preceded
him here by a hundred and fifty centuries. Some dauntless son of the
indigenous race was the first to plant his roving footsteps on this land.
Tf honor were given to whom honor is due, he would be exalted as the
true discoverer of America.
"A Blind Man's Ears Are His Eyes as Well, He
Is an Expert Listener"
By THOMAS D. SCHALL, U. S. Senator From Minnesota.
A blind ninn's ears are his eyes as well. Because of the hundreds of
iittle things he hears which the uneducated ear cannot hear—each de
noting a characteristic of the person speaking—he actually sees the person.
The blind man is an expert listener. This is a job he is especially
fitted for. There are all sorts-of things to throw a seeing person off the
track. A man may have on a fine suit of clothes and may have a carnation
in his buttonhole and may smile confidently and puff out his chest This
muy all be camouflage and frequently serves to deceive a seeing person,
but not the blind man.
Many a voter has said to me "Schall, I'm for you" when I knew
very well by his voice that he wasn't. The blind know their friends by
vci-.ie, by th#-ir step, and by some little peculiarity that to the seeing has
gone entirely unnoted. In a poker game a man can bluff his way through
by keeping a straight face, but just let me hear his voice and I'll tell you
what kind of a hand he holds.
We Are Passing Through a Period Not Unlike
the Puritanical Regime
By JOHN J, BLAINE, Governor of Wisconsin.
—i * ,
There is a formidable program on today. It is to enact laws and
«ver more laws, stricter and sterner, heaping the penalties higher and
higher under the delusion that modefn crusades can makfe men good by
passing laws and the establishment of moral guardianship pver the people.
Conventionally, we think of ths Puritans as coming to America to
establish the principles of religious freedom. They did—religious freedom
for themselves, but prescriptions and inquisitions for others.. They de
manded full obedience to their decrees and religious freedom ceased to
exist. Their policy was suppression and repression. They became the
reapers of wrath, and through Massachusetts there began a race of law
breakers, fostered by the laws themselves. '
We are passing through a period now not unlike the Puritanical
regime of centuries ago. But the multiplicity of laws that do not com
v port with God's moral law are bound to be violated aad eventually re
pealed, as they ought to be repealed. *
To Be Broke and to Be Turned Down by His
Girl at the Sftme Time
By JAMES L. FORD, in Theatre Magazine.
The education of the dramatist should be that of life rather than of
books. 1 cannot conceive rf a real dramatist who has not
wafe to be broke and turned down by his girl at the same time. Such an
experience is of far greater value than the most exhaustive study of the
work of Euripides, though thoughtful consideration of the Greek dramas
may be taken by one familiar with the teachings of life as a postgraduate
course.
It is often said by those who favor dramas of the highest type that
there is no reason why play-writing should not be classed with other pro
fessions and taught as effectively as are law and medicine.
But the practice of law rests on the solid foundation of the Constitu
tion and that of medicine or surgery on the immutable laws which govern
the human body, whereas the writing of dramas has no foundation save
the ever-shifting quicksand of public taste.
Conditions in Life Which Favor the Success of
Motion Pictures
By LOUIS WEINBERG, is Current History. '
I* the enthusiasm for motion pictures an artificial thing created bj
the promoters, or is the success of the promoters due to the fact that there
are conditions in modefn life which favor the success of motion pictures?
A most cursory consideration of the subject must reveal the answer. Mo
tion pictures were no doubt heavily advertised, but their success has been
primarily due to the fact that they provided in an eaaily available way
for tlie recreational needs of modern life. It is in the nature of this high
speed system that millions of the city caught in the grind and the
rmttine of their daily tasks, overwrought % the whirl of business deals,
inhi' itiug the natural play of mind, muscle, mood, should seek escape in
some medium of swift experience which brings visions of financial success,
of free, uurestrained joy, of die thrills and dangers of outdoor adventures,
it is also in the nature of our industrial order to stimulate in our rural
population • desire for the luxuries, the pleasures, ml or imaginary, to T
found *n the big dty. *

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
German Note Gives Hope of
Restoration of Friendly
Peace in Europe.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
GERMANY'S reply to France on the
subject of the security pact, In the
opinion of official Europe, makes bright
the outlook for peace in the old world.
Foreign Minister Stresenmnn's note,
delivered to the French foreign office,
WHS considered in general quite satis
factory, though article hi of the
League of Nations covenant still
stands in the way of complete accord.
The German government says that al
though It does not consider its en
trance to the league as a necessary
condition for the establishment of a
security pact, as France and Kngland
Insist, it is willing to join the league,
but with the express condition that
article 10 does not apply to Germany.
"In spite of the explanation brought
■bout by Germany's note to the league
council on March 13 last, there 1 ' Is
danger that after Its entrance Into the
League of Nations Germany, disarmed
and surrounded by powerfully armed
neighbors, situated In the center of
Europe and having In the. course of
history served as the theater of great
wars, would be drawn Into conflicts
between third states," continues the
note in expressing the Germans' fear
of stirring the anger of Itussia by
helping France to aid Poland.
Article 16 theoretically gives France
the right to send troops and supplies
across Germany to the aid of I'oiand
If the latter is attacked by Russia, but
In Paris It is declared no French gov
ernment would think of sending troops
through ti hostile Germany.
Germany says in the note that It
would not have equal rights as a mem
ber of the league until Its own dis
armament Is followed by general dis
armament. It denies any intention of
trylfe to modify the treaties of peace,
but adds:
"At the same time It takes for
granted that one must not forever ex
clude the possibility of ndaptlng exist
ing treaties to more friendly accord*.'*
The third question discussed in the
note is the right of France as a guar
antor of luture arbitration treaties be
tween Oermuny and Polnnd and
Czechoslovakia to have the privilege
to decide who is the aggressor. The
note deuiandM that this right be given
to a disinterested power, the Hague
court, or the League of Nations.
M. Uriand, French foreign minister,
said: ' "In my pergonal opinion there
is absolutely nothing In the German
note which stands In the way of a sat
isfactory settlement." I-ater he ap
prised French diplomatic representa
tives In other countries of numerous
reservations which the note calls for
on the part of France, especially con
cerning the Interpretation of article 10
of the covenant., The Paris press on
second thought did not lTfce the Ger
man reply so well, noting that It opens
a debate on the revision of the peace
treaties.
Addreimlns {he relrhstag, Herr
Stretwmann urged the nation and tlie
allien to back the peace plan, lie Maid,
however, there were mill some Im
portant points outstanding. especially
with respect to arbitration treaties and
the position (Sermany la to take within
the League of Nation*.
Tlie mlnlirter wai confident that fur
ther diacuwiflon would lead to positive
malts. He expressed irreat satUfac
tlon at the good will ahown by both
France and Belgium -In completely
evacuating the liuhr before Augunt 10.
and the French premier'* declaration
that Dneeseldorf, Dulshurg. and Ituh-
rurt alao shortly would be evacuated,
within the time set by the treaty.
France van doing her part, as Kir*ae
mann said, by hastening the evacua
tion. Her troops were moving out «»f
the German cities rapidly, at nlglit mo
as to avoid clashes with the cttlien*.

system, and Montagu Norman, gor
ertior of the Bank of England, who had

less it showed a reasonable spirit In
the negotiations.
T.N AN Interview grunted last week
Premier Palnleve said:
"Frltnce has the firmest Intention to
come to a settlement with the United
States. There will be a settlement be
fore November 1, and. although It has
not been finally decided. M. Culilaux
will go to the United States to arrange
that settlement If the American public
desires him to do so."
Henri Franklin-Bouillon already has
been appointed chairman of the French
com mission.
The premier confirmed the report
that France would seek a huge loan
in the United States after the debt
settlement had been agreed upon.
JOHN T. SCOPES of Dayton, Tenn..
was found guilty of violating the
stnte law forbidding the teaching of
the theory of evolution, and was fined
SIOO by Judge Uaulston. The convic
tion was a foregone conclusion. No
tice of appeal was given and the case
will he carried up to the Tennessee
Supreme court. If that tribunal sus
tains the verdict, presumably the Su
preme Court of the United States will
be asked to rule on the case.
The fundamentalists iVe not satis
fied with this victory. Walter White.
Dayton's school sui>erintendent and the
prosecuting witness In the Scopes case,
announced that a bill would be drawn
up and introduced in congress with
drawing all federal support from In
stitutions in which the doctrine of
evolution is taught.
The Scopes defence at the start of
week surprisingly put William J.
Bryan wn the stand, and he and Clar
ence r(arrow engaged In a lively duel
of question and answer. Which had
the better of It was a matter of Indi
vidual opinion. However, Bryan was
forced to admit that In some instances,
notably the account of the creation in
seven days, the werds of the Bible
might not be accepted literally. The
Bible stories of Adam and Eve, of the
tower of Babel, of the Flood, of Jonah
and the whale, of Joshua and the sun,
he said he believes are literally true.
Streaking generally, he asserted: "I
believe the Bible absolutely as It
stands."
Nest day the court decided all this
exchnnge between Bryan and Darrow
should be ruled out, and he refused to
let Bryan put Darrow on the stand.
So the case went to the Jury, which
needed but a few minutes to agree on
a verdict of guilty.
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
JAKDINK has been spending some
eight weeks touring the West, and on
Ills return to Washington reviewed the
agricultural situation as he saw It.
There Is a return «f coutldence, he
said, and the farmers are getting out
of tlie "shadow of bankruptcy." He
thinks there will be no great demand
for further farm legislation and that
the farmers themselves are competent
to solve their own probfems. Many of
the farmers with whom he talked told
him to "let It alone, as things were
going along pretty well." Mr. Jardlne
continued:
"Cattle and hog men are better off
than they have been since ItKJO and I
didn't aee any sheep men down at tl»e
mouth. If the wheHt men are careful
In marketing their crops they will get
good prices and they are learning not
to flood the market*.
"Condition* In the corn belt sre re
versed from, what they were a year
ago, when hogs were still cheep and
corn u poor and expensive crop. Indi
cation* are for a targe cotton crop and
a favorable Income In the belt."*
ACCOUDINO to Ogures Just made
public by the l>epartiuent of Ag
riculture, the farmers of the I'nlted
States re-elved a gross Income of sl-,-
13»j.0»to.000 from agricultuml produc
tion for the jeer ending Juue 30 last,
as coinpured with 911 .JXB.UOO.OOO for
the previous year.
In arriving at the gross Income the
department deducts coat of feed. aeed.
and waste from the value of produc
tion. According" to the depnrtment'f
experts, the Increase over last year,
smownttng to about 7% per cent, was
due almost entirely to higher returns
from (train and meat animals, particu
larly wheat and hogs.
Exclusive of live stock and feed sold
to other fnriiiert) the gross Income from
sales was $0,777,000,000, as compared
to $8,1)28,000.000 In 1924. Food and
fnel produced and consumed on tbe
farms was valued at $2,359,000,000.
VIOLENT attacks by the IMfflans
