discovered in the entire world.

80 feet and 8 inches wide. 1t is
built of granite, sand and ce-
ment. 1t has cuts from 300 to
400 feet deep and one fill S21

thirteen culverts of granite and
cement mortar, each 400 feet
long.
The mental attainments of
these ancients are beyond ques-
ton. Take one proof only-the
calendar wheel. This is per-
petual almanac. 1t is always in
date. By it the phases of the
moon can be determined in a
few minutes, forward or back.
The full moon in any given
month 10000 years hence, Or 10,-
600 years ago, may be quickly
calculated from it by a child.
And this is but one feature of
this splendid product of ancient
mind. Who today could con-
struct such an almanac?
These peoples were sun wor-
shippers. When their descen-
dants in Chaldea, Persia, Egypt
and other parts of the world,
were taken into the Christian
church, many of their feast days
were taken with them. Their
principal day for worship-Sun-
day-was adopted by the early
Christians; so was MONDAY
Monday; likewise Christmas.
December % is the first day in
the astronomical year that the
sun priests could prove that the
days begin to lengthen. So they
celebrated this day in honor of
the return of the sun, thousands
of years before the Christian era.
The early Christians made this
great annual feast day of the sun
worshippers the principal Christ
ian day-Christmas. In scores
of villages today, throughout
Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona
the fires are all extinguished on
December Is. Observations are
made at noon each day for
week by the sun priests. All

turning and will smile on his
children one year more. Then
the festival begins. This is the
origin of our Christmas.
1t has been enormously assum-
ed that these ancients were wor-
shippers of idols. Many images
are found in their buildings and
temples. So are they in Catho-
lie and other Christian churches
today. 1t would be as fair to
accuse one of idolatry as the
other. These EN- lens and
images, in both cases, are re-
minders of something beyond
and above them. But the an
cient Americans, like many
other ancient peoples, mixed
their religion with their mythol-
ogy, and their descendants, in
some instances have lapsed into
idolatry, having mistaken the
emblems for what they repre-
sent.
The works of art, the fine stat
uary, the fresco work in some of
the temples and public build
ings, as, for instance, in the
grand palace near Palenque, in
the state of Chiapas, the archi-
tectural ornamentation on build
ings, bridges, etc, and many
other relics, prove that the es-
thetic culture of these ancients
was we'll advanced.
But wars, famines, pestilences
and luxurious living caused the
races to deteriorate. The Span
ish conquest fastened to eli
max what had already begun.
Having before us brief view
of these ancient Americans, we
are now ready in future articles
to discuss their relics, etc., more
intelligently.

developments. In series of such
short articles as the available
space in the News permits, such
a review must be brief. The
reader naturally inquiries, How
and where were the data obtain
ed on which to base these arti-
cles?
On the histories and sacred
books Of Yucatan, Chiapas, Ga
jaca, Vera Cruz and other states
of Mexico, and also in Honduras
and other Central American
states. These books have been
preserved in the pyramids and
temples of those countries. The
writer has seen tons of them. In
1926 the pope of Rome issued an
edict againt these books. Hun
dreds of tons of them were burn
ed. But the great French eXplor-
er, DR.. LIE Plongeon, spent sew
enteen years, principally in Yu-
catan and Chiapas. He and 9TH
ers have discovered great guam
titles of them that were hidden
from the Spanish conquerors.
They are now mostly in the
hands of ignorant sun-priests
who are incapable of writing
fake" volumes. These priests
have faithfully guarded them.
When their letters and charac-
ter have faded, they have copied
them on new, dressed skins and
palm leaves. Few or none of
them, for generations, have been
able to read the books they cop
led.
AS to the reliability of these
books, attention is called to a
few facts only; but the subject
is worthy Of a volume. Histori-
cal dates are given that refer to
an eclipse of the sun or moon
being so many days before or
after such an eclipse. Astrono-
mers of today have calculated
some of these eclipses and prov
Ell that they were visible in that
country on the hour, day and
year given. For instance, the
Maya history states that Quert-
zacoatl commenced the famous
road that leads from the Carrib-
bean sea to the Cohina pyramid
100 days after a total eclipse of
the sun that occurred on GER

 The dwindling in collateral which has made the banks cautious and money shy has been caused by the oyerdons outery against corporations and can. itaI. The evils that grew LID in tha business world seemed to invite every crossroads statesman and frresnopaI. ble socialist to demand not only cure but slaughter. Orators. having ,ther. selves nothing to lose but, perhans a. teW votes to gain, breathe destruction Lo all property and property-holders Most of them, Knowing absoIutaIv nothing Of the intricate subjects thev discussed, were enabled to say. de mana and promise many things which others, handicapped by actual knowI- edge, would have hesitated to tackle. sometimes these il-considered express slons and ignorant views really led fo legislation that was unjust extreme and conhscatory. It has become sort of fashion to rage against property. To possess anything is almost equiya. lent to being a pariah in the eyes of the agttators. And so stocks and bonds the written evidences of prop erty.' tumble, and money, which can be borrowed on property as collateral gets out of reach.
 Some of these days the American people will be ashamed of the present agitation against property. When values have gone to pieces and bust ness has been greatly impaired. they will realize the folly of prosecuting capital and fighting prosperity. Perse- cution and regulation are two different things. If regulation, the prevention of abuses and the enforcement of & square deal were all. the fathers of such regulation would be entitled to praise. To run amuck among corpor- ations, large and smaIl-which are but aggregations of individuals-and wage a crusade against values in general Is rather, a dangerous practice Few countries could stand the strain of the present stringency. Few countries, for that matter, starting out to regulate, would allow political fireworks to lead it to commercial suicide. Of course, we haven't vet reached the point of su- icide, but if persecution does not give way-to mere regulation and the 'hys- teria of the Irresponsible to a state of business and calm, financial suicide may be the outcome.

nneninr Their Exes.

Macon Telegraph.
 The Atlanta Constitution and Tom Watson, according to the former, have discovered that the consumers in Geor- gia have not received one cent benefit from the reductions in freight rates in this State, mostly at Atlanta. which amounts to $2.000,000 annually; that it all goes into the pockets of manufac- turers and jobbers, none of 1t to con- sumers.
 More than a year ago The Telegraph consistently urged, using data then at hand, that all this Cain rafsng by the Atlanta papers and the Atlanta Freight Bureau, whose president was the head Of the Atlanta Stove Works. was really for the benefft of Atlanta. But the freight rate came down on stoves, and the price on that very necessary ar ticle straightway went up, as has been recently shown in these columns.
 The Telegraph does not now, nor did it last year blame the manufacturers for securing if they could better freight rates; but numerous times did we insist that no benefit would accrue to the consumers. A dozen times, or more, we used the illustration of the Knox hat, and a pair of shoes. We showed that a. $3 hat sQld at the same price in Macon that it sold for 1000 miles away under the shadow of the factory where it is made. If the rate of freight was cut in two it would not make the hat sell any cheaper In Ma con than in New York We showed that in carload lots 1t cost about cent to ship pair of shoes 1000 miles; that if that rate was cuf in two. or cut entirely off, the shoes would cost the consumer the same old price. We urg- ed these facts upon MT. Watson las' year. This year he has come to see them, atfer the trial and he is kicking about 1t.
 Last year it was political question one to get votes on. This year 1t is 8 practical business question and the truth Is easier seen and understood. The truth of some other things we said last year is going to force itseli upon the visions of those who were ] then blind. Just keep tab on them.
