SITE OF ANCIENT BABYLON,
Once Scene Of the Greatest SpIendOr
Now DeSOlate Waste.

DIR. Frieudrich Delitsch, who has
achieved world wide renown by his
Oriental researches, recently de
livered lecture at Berlin, at which
the German Emperor and Empress
were present, on his personal obser-
vations during his recent six months
journey in Babylon and comparison
of conditions today with those of
Biblical times.
Ancient Babylon, he said, was the
alluvlal land Of the Euphrates and
the Tigris region, about equal in size
to the Italy of today, and was the
granary Of the ancient world, with a
phenomenal wealth of vegetation and
palm forests and olive orchards and
vineyards. C"Lals dug in various
directions served to store the waters
and to irrigate the land and at the
same time were the avenues of COM
nerce and trade. Indeed, the Baby
lon of the Biblical period was the
Holland Of antiquity. Every King
found his glory in the extension of
his water way system, and from the
days of Hammurabi through any
centuries the work of the ruler in
this regard proved to be the greatest
blessing to the country. The whole
country was practically one vast gar
den, northward from Babylon, be-
tween Hillel and Bagdad, according
to the wonderful reports of Keno
phon, Ammianus Marcellinus Hosi-
mus, the last mentioned finding as
Late as the fifth Christian century
vast vineyards and olive groves
throughout the land In the times
Of the early Arabian califs no fewer
than three hundred and sixty cities
and villages are mentioned by name
along these canals, and the booty in
gold taken here was many hundred
weight. Pliny declares this to have
been "the most fruitful land in the
east
Now, on the other hand, it is {
dreary desert, the playground O
the storms and winds. In the south
ern portions there are still some rem
nants Of the canals left, but the tw,
famous rivers, Euphrates and Tigris
are no longer connected, and be

SEPARATE THE RACES.
John Temple Graves Delivers a Notable
Address at Chautauara- "A Defense Of
Lynching.

Unique among all summer gath
erings is the "mob conference" now
in progress at Chautauqua, N Y.
The increase of mob spirit shown by
feuds, lynchings, riots, assassinations
and other lawless happenings gives
great Importance to this conference.
Among Tuesdays speakers was John
Temple Graves of Atlanta, Ga.
MIR. Graves spoke on "The Mob
Spirit Of the South" He defended
lynch law as remedy for the crime
of rape, holding that though lynch
ing If crime it is justified by the
crime which provokes it and will
never be discontinued until that crime
IL eliminated. The remedy for ly nch-
ing must be the elimination of the
crime of rape, and this, he main.
tains, could be done only by the sep
nration of the two races ia the Uni
ted States.
"The problem of the hour is not
how to prevent lynching in the south
but the larger question: How shall
we destroy the crime which always
has and always will provoke lynch
ing" The answer which the mob
returns tc this vital question is al
ready known. The mob answers it
with the rope, the bullet and some.
times, God save us, with the torch.
And the mob is practical; it's theory
IL effective to Il large degree; the
mob is today the sternest, the
strongest and the most effective re
atraint that the age holds for the
control Of rape"
"The lyncher does not exterminate @
the rapist," MIR. Graves contended,
"but he holds him nightly in
check" AS Il sheer, cold, patent
fact, he said, the mob stands today
ns the most potential bnlwark be-
tween the women of the south and
such carnival Of crime as would in =
furlate the world and precipitate the
"nnihilation of the negro race. The
masses of the negro, he held, are not
afraid Of denth coming in a regular
way. They love display and the
spectacular element OF a trial and
execution appeals to their imagina
tions.
Expediting ths processes of the
law would lot be adequate to elm
mate lynching. The repeal of the
amendments and the establishment
OF the negro's lnforlority in law anc
society, SAID Mr.. Graves, though de
sirable, are not sufficient, "for the
negro" he added, "is a thing of the
senses and with this race and will
