WfceneeOatne-the ei*ff Dwellers of Mesa Verde and Where Did They Go? By CONGRESSMAN E. T. TAYLOR. Speech la the House. AT LEAST a thousand years ago—maybe 2,000 and possibly dur ing the Tut-Ankh-Amen period—there lived in the Mesa Verde region a large population of human beings who flourished and then disappeared. We call them the Cliff Dwellers because we know of no other name or race. Who were these peculiar pebple? Where ' did they conre from? When did they live there? How long did they live * there? When did they leave there? Why did Where did they go? .J3cho answers; "Where?" We knofr- they lived in large communities. They must have had -*■ some kind of; organized government. They were not a warlike people in the sense that most other Indian tribes were. They cultivated co'rn, beans, cotton land squash. They had domesticated turkeys, but-, apparently 'no dogs. -I heir cultivated lands were upon the mesa, high above most of their reservoirs, and there was no way of irrigating their crops by ditches. They had no sheep or horses or burros or any beasts of burden, so the women and children apparently followed the custom of the present Pueblo Indians and earned, jars of water on their heads up.over the foot trails fojr domestic use and also for the irrigation of their scanty crops. I We know these strange people Were artisans. They wove cloth of cfitton the yucca plant fibers. They Appreciated the beautiful* They made fire by twirling two sticks. They made quite a variety of pofc v tery. They made many wooden utensils. They had no metals or glass. They had no written language. They wove sandals and baskets. Their weapons, hammers, axes, spear points, arrowheads and tools were made of stone. Their implements were mostly made of bone. They quarried and shaped the stones into regular form and laid good masonry that, has defied 1 the ravages of time ever since hundreds of yean before 'Columbus was born and. before ths Spaniards ever touched foot N " " upon this jgmtinent. - There are many thousands of their ruins and relics of various kinds throughout southwestern Colorado and in New Mexico and Arizona. But the largest and best preserved) flie most notable and finest of the prehistoric cliff dwellings in the United States, it not,in the world, are in the shelter of caves in the sides of the high-walled canyons of Mesa Verde National park. ** " -- " .: V , .

The nation is composed of millions upon millions of individuals, whose interests clash, and no superior beings exist Who can reconcile all differences and create unity of life and progress. ' - No Nation Has the Sermon on the Mount as a Rule of Life ■» * By A. MAUDE ROYDEN, English Woman Preacher. . If religion is gfting out of style, if deserves to. For only those thing* \ go out of style which meet no real human need. But in fact —and just because- it is an eternal need of'the human spirit,'religion never can go out of style/ All that is happening is that the need for religion, which is simply the need of God, is changing its' forms. The change; in this generation, has perhaps been accelerated by. the wa"r. There is an uneasy wonder whether a >6ligion that has pro claimed for nearly 2,000 years a God who is the Prince of Peace ougbfto have been able by now to put a stop to war, at least between nations Who profess belief in it. 1 must admit that if I found nations and individuals persistently liv ing up to the tenets of the Sermon on the Mount and finding; that (fee house of their civilization, far from being founded on a rock and standing, was really founded on sand and fell down, I should bold myself bxcused from trying to be a Christian any more. Tie difficulty, however, has only to be stated to disappear.. No na tion and very few individuals have persistently adopted tbe Sermoixon the Mount as a rule of life. * :H ' - Ypu City People and Country People Have « Largely the Same Problems By ARTHUR C V PAGEL Chicago Editor, by Radio. You people in the city, and you in the country, have largely the aama problems, whether you realize it or not, and if either one of yon should attempt to put yourself ahead by pushing the other one back, yon might succeed for ar little while, but not for long. Chicago ia built on agriculture itod a great deal of agriculture de pends on Chicago. Thousands of farmers within the radius of my voice make their living by producing and selling food and other products to people in Chicago, and thousands of people in Chicago make their lhing from the things they help to produce that are sold to farmers. There ought to be the closest bond of sympathy between this great city and the great agricultural territory which surrounds it, the greatest agricultural territory in the world. ' It is a most excellent sign of national health when folk in Chicago ; and you folk out on the farm begin to understand each other, to realixa there should be no antagonism between you, but that you aw in the same boat—that when one profit* you both profit; when one loses, you both , mutually loae. !■ 9ljfl ui Im-JZm ir fln" I '"- =R ««?IPEM ■ I ■ tnES& 3 'C 1 ■ fcfSHBB /\ \ wa -/' " ■ A v \ »ill / I /1 Y wßrnSt 1 /■ I s!> * I !■ 1P '(JII I—Bringingl—Bringing ashore from the hospital- ship Relief the bodies of the victims of the gun turret explosion on the U.

PICKARD DEMOCRACY'S hosts—meaning the representatives of the Democratic party—assembled In Madison Square garden, New Yorlc. for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Presi dency and vice presidency, and the In dications at this writing are that they will be there for some time before they make a choice, However, William O. McAdoo, who admittedly will have the largest vote on # the first ballot, 'pre dicted-as he arrived In New York that he not only would win the nomination, but would win It beforje many ballots had been cast Leaders of the oppo sition to McAdoo scoffed at his claims. This Is Intended to be v * review, of the events of the past week, not a forecast, but It can be said that the fight w£B centering on tbe proposition to nbandon the time-honored rule of the Democrats which requires a two tMrds majority for a nomination. Mc- Adoo's generals naturally were for this change. Brennan of Illinois, who Is determined to. defeat the Callfornl an, declared If the two-thirds rule were* abolished, so, too, must be the unit rule—hi which case the change would do McAdoo little good. Oqe other the new boss of the party said: "I want to see an antl-Kn-Klux- Klan plank In the platform, and they won't be able to make it too strong to suit me." Next to the suggestion that the plat form Include a moist plank, that mat ter of the Klan Is perhaps the njost annoying that the committee on reso lutions bas to handle, k food guess Is that the Democrats, like the Repub licans, will evade both Issues. Toward the end of the week tljere developed ft-sudden and rather strong boom for David F. Houston for Presi dent. He wJLU be remembered as sec retary of agriculture and then of the treasury under Woodrow Wilson, and bis boosters asserted that, shortly be fore. his death, Mr. Wilson advised the nomination of Mr. Houston In 1924. Mr. Houston, who now resides li New York, Is president of the 'Bell Securi ties company and director In various financial concerns. ... :'v i , I_t AVING established their hendquffr ll ten Iff Chicago, the Republicans are merely waiting for the Democrats to put up a ticket to open the battle. Congressman Everett Sanders of In dians has been made of the speakers' bureau, and It Is the inten tion to start the campaign In the Mid dle West,' probably In Nebraska. Charles O. Dawes, vice' presidential nominee, la likely to be sent there to make his first speeches. Mr. Dawes; addressing his fellow townsmen of Ev anston. 111., last week, said a number of things that shotild be pleasing to the American public regardless of party affiliations, in languageacharac tertstically vigorous be denounced "the curse of demagoguery In political dis cussions" by which, he said, the real facta and the economic principles In volved lt(. Questions of national policy are.contfk ..soured. He pledged himself to adhere, In tbe. coming cam paign, to the truth and to the common sense conclusions to be drawn there from. and concluded:- "As to the demagogue on the stump, whatever may -be his party, I want It distinctly understood that In the coming cam paign 1 ask no-quarter and *lll give none. ~I know that 1 will have toe sym pathy of all good citlrens Irrespective of party and 1 hope our political op ponents will follow the course. Let common sense reign." UP IN St Pasl, Minn, assembled the scvcalled Farmer-Labor pro gressive national convention which bad been denounced In advance by Benator LaFollette and Samuel Gompers b* cause It was known tbst the Com munists who take orders from the Moscow Internationale would try to iofnlnate It.

This, however was only tentative pending the meeting of the Cleveland conven tion of the coraiulttK for progressive political action on July 4. It was un derstood that If the Cleveland meeting put up some other candidate, McDon ald might be withdrawn and that man indorsed. Many .of the delegutes In St Paul wanted to nominate LaFol lette, despite his scathing denuncia tion of the convention, but wye per suaded this would be worse than use less. William Bouck of the state of Wash ington was nominated for vice presi dent W. J. Taylor of Nebraska made a fiery speech denouncing the Russian redness of the convention and then led a bolt of 40 farmer delegates who refused to submit to the dictation of the Communists,— In the St. Paul platform are several Interesting planks. One declares against "Jim Crow Ism" and calls (ty "full equality, economic and political, for the negro." Another urges a sys- tem of land tennre to abolish land lordism and tenantry and designed to secure the land to the user' Of course the platfofta contains a resolution- de manding the recognition of the soviet Russian government. The Farmer-Labor party of,Minne- sota, which last week renominated Senator Magnus Johnson, took no part In the convention. WHILE the Japanese government wai doing Its best to put a atop to the boycott on American products. Secretary of State Hughes formulated and sent to Ambassador Hanlhafa bis reply to Japan's note of protest against the exclusion clause of the Immigration lav and compared them with the old "gentlemen's agreement," showing that there Is no material difference, con gress having only exercised Its pre rogative In defining by legislation the control of Immigration Instead of leav ing It to international arrangements. The secretary concluded his note by expressing the conviction "that the recognition of the right of each gov ernment to legislate In control of im migration should not derpgate in any degree from the mutual good will and cordial friendship which have always characterised the relations of the two countries.'' BECAUSE of the Insistence of t}e Obregon government that H: C. Cummins, British agrfß, get out of Mexico at 'once, Great Britain has severed all relations with Mexico, and there it no telling now when U will grant recognition to the present regime there. British interests In Mexico have been entrusted to the United States and Chile. Prime Minister Mac Donald and his cabinet decided that the Mexican attitude was Im possible for anf self-respecting gov ernment to endure. Ur T.'B. Hohler was getting ready to JMH for Mexico to Investigate the question of accord ing recognition, b«t his mission has been called off. Mr. Cummins, who Bad entrenched himself In the Brit ish legation, was ordered home Im mediately. - All the British bad aaked of Mexico was that Cummins be per mitted to remain until the arrival or Hohler. This was refused In a note that was considered Impertinent. Ex pulsion of Cummins was ordered be- cause he vent "rode messages'* to tbe Mexican government In trying to pro tect 9>e Interests 6f British subjects. He did everything be coujfl to behalf of Mrs. Rosarte Evans, a widow, who baa been fighting plndklly to Jr*TWit the expropriation of ber etfite. * FO It a time last w ( r clc it ■ aeented tbe rule of the Fascistl In Jtali was about to come to an end, because of tbe N great scandal arising from the kid naping and brutal murder of Matt*-, ottl. a Socialist "deputy who f qald to have had la. hit possession full de tails of a huge bask failure in which certain Fascist chieftains werrf In volved. So threatening waa the situa tion that Mussolini's ministers ten dered their resignation* and tbe kin* called on the members of the Order - • of Annunciation—mostly former pre miers and members of the royal fam ily—to help form a general cabinet. Mussolini, however, arose to the emergency, displaced and replaced vari ous high ofljclals, directed the arrest of guilty men and began a general housecleanlng of the Fascist govern ment, One of the accused is said to have confessed. By the end of the week the excitement over the af fplr was waning, but it was. ad mitted that the scandal had dealt Fascism a severe blow. The truth it that the Fascist movement had begun to degenerate from u high moral cru sade into a mere politicians' party, many of the members of which' were concerned mainly In • obtaining and re taining public office. Mussolini's dic tatorial methods had begun to Irk the people, and while he may continue In power, his rule la likely to be leas, autocratic. EDOUARD HARRIOT,' France's new premier, went to England Sat urday to spend the week-end with Prime Minister Mac Donald In confer -1 ence over the application of the Dawes plan. Before he atarted be conferred with Foreign Minister Hymans of Bel gium, and then said France and Bel glum were In complete accord con cerning the matter. Herrlot also re ceived Herr Brletscbeld, German So cial Democrat deputy, who told him the majority of the relchstag favored carrying out the Dawes plan and that France could count on Germany's sin cerity In executing It The necessary bills for carrying out the Dawes plan will not be introduced In the relchstag before the middle of July, being com plicated and extensive. Herrlot 'disappointed the extreme radicals and many Germans In several matters. First, he declared his policy was to retain control of the Ruhr un til Germany had given the requisite guarantees. Then he 'selected for his minister, of war General Nofiet head of the allied control commission In Germany. This caused a great protest from German Nationalists and Mon archists, especially as Herrlot said he chose Nollet because be knew more about tlie military situation in Ger many than any>ther man and that While France's policy would be to take action against the growing militarism in Germany, France would neverthe less help the young German democ racy. * 4 Premier Her riot told the French par liament that he was preparing to rec ognlse Russia, and that the French embaaay at the Va titan would be sup pressed. He said complete amnesty would be granted ail war prisoners ex cept those condemned for treason. PABLIAMENTARY elections 'ln South Africa resulted in victory for the Nationalist-Labor coalition and gave momentum to tlie movement for an Independent republic. Gem Jan. Smuts, former premier, was defeated by a labor candidate, and General Herteog, advocate of secession from the British empire, was elected. He msy be the new premier. FOR the fourth time Lieut Ernest de Muyter of Belgium won the James Gordon Bennett balloon race with the balloon Belgica, and thus gained per manent possession of the trophy. He traveled about 500 miles and landed in Scotland. America's globe encircling svlators made good progress last week, flying from Too ran e, French In do-China, to Saigon and then 500 miles to Bang kok. Slam. They expected to reach Rangoon before the week ended. POST OFFICE employees of Canada •truck and tied up the postal serv ice across the Dominion from coast to coast Business was seriously ham pered and Its demoralisation was feared unites an early settlement waa arranged. The workers have been ask ing an Increase of salary, but Instead are facting a decrease. Their union has proposed that the government shall place the postal service employees on der the Industrial disputes act Imme diately for a settlement of the salary -eehedule. In the meantime the men will accept the present salary and all benefits antedate April L 1024.

' North Carolina paid more in taxes in the first eleven months of the fiscal year which will end on June 30 than during the whole of the preced ing fiscal year and unless an abnormal advance is made by Ohio, this State will go to fourth place in the list of States according to their support of the national government, according to an announcement from Gilliam Oris som. Collector of Internal Bevenue for the district of North Carolina. For the fiscal year 1922-23, Mr. Oris som collected $140,000,000 just short of the collections of'Ohlo whlcty rank ed behind New York, Pennsylvania and lilllonls. There is no hope o 1 passing the three large and wealthy leader* but Collector Grissom has of overtaking Ohio this yea r,- Income taxpayers have shpwn them selves to be close readers pf the news papers, according to Collector Gris som. The notices for the payment of the second come taxes before the reduction bill was passed bf Congress and accord ingly called for the full amount The bill was finally signed by the presi dent before the due date, but practi cally all of those making payments got onto the fact that they COUM not only take their 26 per cent reduction but would credit themselves with the .reduction on the first payment as well, making their June check just half the amount paid in March. These reductions will considerably decrease the collections for this month but the 144 million mark was passed lit May and as far as the rate with Ohio Is concerned this State will b# benefitted at the Buck Eye State da pends to a much greater degree on in come taxes than Mas North Carolina where about three-fourth of the total smount comes from taxes on tobacco manufactured here. Over Insursnce Big Fre Csuse. Stacey W. Wade, Insurance Commis sioner, told the North Carolina Asso ciation of Insurance Agents, includ ing fire, casualty and surety men, that, tlie teaching of fire prevention hM largely removed carelessness as % factor In North Carolina with the ra 'suit that residential fires constitute less than seven per cent of the total. "But commercial property" said he "continues to burn and many of the Investigators made by the department show that property was over-Insured. It Is true that over Insurance is more easily detected in the case of a resi dence Qian a mercantile rlak. Does not this lend color to the fear that the main cause of fires Ip 1923 may have been over insurance." New Charters Issued. W. K.
