THE OLD PERUvJANS.-At the Uni
tartan church last evening Dr. Cope
land delivered a very interesting lee
ture on the ancient Peruvian Govern
ment. He showed how that old pa
ternal government swas al marvel Of
beauty and symmetry solving all the
difficult problems now confronting
the students of sociology. in ancient
Peru there were no poor people neither
were there any rich. All had plenty
TO eat and wear aGd all had to work.
There was no money in use and all
this scramble for wealth was un-
known. All land belonged to the
government and was leased to the sub
iects. All roads, highways, canals, ETC.,
were built and operated by the gov
ernment. The sick were cared for at
Government expense. Laws were
lust and reasonable and Grim inals
few. In fact the entire government
was what the socialists dream Of to-
day as a,perfect one. Ancient Peru
was "a yeritable brotherhood in which
all the people of the nation united.
