By CONGRESSMAN E. T. TAILOR, Speech in the House. A T LEAST a thousand years ago—maybe 8,000 and poaeibly 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 people? Where did they come from? When did they live there? How long did they live there? When did they leave there? Why did they leave? Where did they go? Echo answers, “Where?” We know they lived in large communities. They must have had some kind of organized government They were not a warlike people in the sepse that most other Indian tribes were. They cultivated com, beans, cotton and squash. They had domesticated turkeys, hut apparently no dogs. Their cultivated lands were upon the mesa, high above most o# their reservoirs, and there was no way of irrigating their crops by ditches. They had no sheep dr horses or burros or any beasts of burden, so the women and children apparently'followed the custom of the present Pueblo Indians and carried jars of water on their heads up over the foot trails for domestic use and also for the irrigation of their scanty crops. We know these strange people were artisans. They wove cloth of cotton and of the yucca plant fibers. .They appreciated the beautiful. They made fire bv twirling two sticks. They made quite a variety of pot* terv. 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 shaped4he stones-into regular fornntnd bmt’gootY masonry that has defied the ravages of time ever since hundreds of years before Columbus was born and before the Spaniards ever touched foot upon this continent. 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, the most notable and finest of the prehistoric cliff dwellings in the United States, if not in the world, are in the shelter of caves in the sides of the high-walled canyons of Mesa Verde National park. “Enough of the Italy of the Hotel-Keeper, the Resort of the Idle” By PREMIER MUSSOLINI, in “Political Speeches* Enough of the Italy of the hotelkeeper, resort of the idle with their odious Baedekers in their hands; enough of dusting old plasterwork; we are, and wish to be, a nation of producers. We are a people who wiU ta- pand without aiming at conquest We shall gain the respect of the world through our industries and our work. And again: Every man must raise the standard of his activity, both in the office and in the factory. • • • The government, which I have the honor to represent, is the government of speed. * * * We belong to the generation of builders who, by work and discipline, with hands and brains, desire to reach the ultimate and longed for goal, the greatness of the future nation, which will be • nation of producers and not of parasites. The twenty million Italians who work with their hands have the right to defend their interests. What we oppose is the deceitful action of politicians to the detriment of the working classes; we fight these new priests who promise, in bad faith, a paradise they do not believe in them selves. • • • Once there were courtiers who burned incense before the kings and the popes; now there is a new breed, which bums incense hypocritically before the proletariat • * * We say that the prole tariat, before it tries to govern the nation, must learn to govern itself, must make itself worthy technically and, still more, morally, because government is a tremendously difficult and complicated task. The nation is composed of millions upon millions of individuals, whose interests clash, and no superior beings exist who con reconcile all differences and create unity of life and progress. You City People and Country People Have Largely the Same Problems v - ARTHUR C. PAGE, Chicago Editor, by Radio. You people in the city, and you in the country, have largely the same problems, whether you realize it or not, and if either one of you should attempt to put yourself ahead by pushing the other one back, you might succeed for a little while, but not for long. Chicago is built on agriculture and a great deal of agriculture de pends on Chicago. Thousands of fanners within the radius of my voice make their living by producing arid selling food and other products to people in Chicago, and thousands of people in Chicago make their living 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 realize there should be rio antagonism between you, but that you are in the same boat—that when one profits you 'both profit; when one loses, you both eventually lose. No Nation Has Adopted the Sermon on the * Mount as ^ Rule of Life • <- By A MAUDS ROYDEN, English Woman Preacher. If religion is going out of style, it deserves to. Far only those things 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 fonns. 'Hie change, in this generation, has perhaps been accelerated by the war. There is an uneasy wonder whether a religion that has pro- claimj&d for nearly 2,000 years a God who is the Prince of Peace ought to have been able by now to put a stop to war, at least betwton nations who profess belief in it. I must admit that if I found nations and individuals persistently liv ing up to the tenets of the Sermon on the Monnt and finding that the bouse of their civilization, far from being founded on a rock and standing, was really founded on sand and fell down, I should hold myself excused from trying to be a Christian any more. The difficulty, however, has only to be stated to disappear. No na tion and very few individuals havt persistently adopted the Sermon on the Mount as s rule of lift. > *»<<, - v, vs-rwi«ac * l ’ \ Bpes Deserves Premotien AFTER 14 YEARS OF FAITHFUL SERVCE In The Lower Branch Of Congress'Thia Is What He Is Asking Of The People Of * South Carolina fat His Candidacy For the United States Senate.
