Why SHOULD he old men arrogate
to themselves all the wisdom IN the
universe when we all know that a
large majority Of them nave never
cut any wide swath as an oracle of
infallible Judgment. There is a gem
of truth which says: "All truth is
not confined in one volume. nor the
mysteries of the whole world explain
ed in one book" Nor is 1t true that
a man must nave his hair streaked
with silver or whitewashed with the
frost of years, before his bump of
knowledge begins to push his hat up.
II Is so now, as it has been so since
the beginning, that 1t rests with the
man who possesses the fire of youth
in his veins to do things and make
the wheels OF progress strike fire from
the c-obblestones of adversely. St.
Paul said, Il write unto young men
because you are strong" And a phil
osopher has said, 1.-The young men
are the hope Of the country" 1t is
SO in the government in all its branch

KILLERS or THE EARTH.
From Dallas News.
The pistols have popped almost In
~cessantly during April Rarely q day
mas passed without two, three or four
killings. Casual readers take the
news OF such criems as a matter of
course, and few stop to consider the
awful aggregate. Nothing said about
1T seems to do any good. The pistols
continue to pop.
AS show in recent figures present
ed by the New York Independent,
this country leads in the number of
murders committed n has fewer con
~victions. In Germany h convictions
equaled go per cent of the homicides,
| while in the United States only one
and olethird was proportion of
convictions for e n hundred
murders. The Independent quotes
from what it claims TO be the most
reliable statistics ~obtainabIe as to the
proportion of murders to population
and gives these figures: The United
| States, 129 per million Inhabitants;
| Germany 2 per million inhabitants;
| Canada. 5 per million. On h nation
alities of homicides in the United
States, it gives the following table:
| Native white. 1896 per cent
| Foreign born. 1850 per cent
Negroes. .37.12 per cent
Chinese n Japs, 1.28 per cent
/ Civilized Indians. 1.21 per cent
The population of h German EN-
pire is given as 60, 200, 900; that of the
United States, 10000, 900. In 1906
there were SGT murders in Germany;
the United States had a record of
over 10000 in the same year. The ex-
IRENE difference between the United
States and any European country is
perhaps shown in quoting Germa1y's
figures. Italy led last year with 1906
homicides and 2,805 convictions. Aus
tria had $50 murders and 499 convic-
tions; Great Britain, $40 murders and
BOG convictions; Spain, 1854 murders
and 1885 convictions.
The question naturally arises, why
Toes America punish only 1 1-13 per
Furnishes more than 95 per cent of
hers and European nations from so
+ 80 per cent of theirs? Is it because
the American people IN opposed to
adequate punishment for the serious
crime Or because of the defective ma
chinery of our courts?
The News has presented before
these figures in a different form, but
the previous estimates and proper
tons are borne out fully by these sta
tistics presented in the Independent.
| Citizens of this country, while reading
these statistics, are actually aroused
er sensational news of more killings.

SUGAR Reets.

We believe that this country is
particularly adapted to the growing of
sugar beets, and that in a short time
it will be one of the leading indus
tries of our country. Experiments
were made last veal with most graft
flying results, the analysis showing a
large percentage of saccahrile mat
ter. A beet sugar factory located
in Roosevelt county would increase
the value of every acre of tilable land
in the county from five to ten dollars
per acre. When once it is demonstrat
ed that the sugar beet will thrive here
all that will be necessary to cur
a beet factory, will be to guarantee
the planting of from 5000 to 1O, o ae-
res to sugar beets. The industry is
a very profitable one, and there will
be no trouble in securing the neces-

1t is time intelligent Texans and the
rest were reading the daily death list
with a keener appreciation of it's
deeper meaning. 1t does no good for
the press to speak out plainly about
it, n prove every word of it by the
numerous items in the news columns
unless the argument is followed by
some sort of determined and united
effort to put an end TO the present
reign of fury and crime. 1t does no
good to wall ove the results, and then
leave them to row shocking n

HIEROGLYPHIcS TELL
STORY OF LOVE AND WAR.

ArcAaeologists of Denver are inter
ested in the contents of a letter receiv
ed by Homer Wright of Montrose to
the effect that the ~nieroglyphics writ
ten on what is known as the picture
rock in Shavano valley, eight miles
from Montrose, by the Cliff Dwellers
nave been translated by Professor F.
K. Porter of Boston. The i1scrip-
tons on these rocks, of which there
are thousands, always have been a
deep mystery to botn the people of
the valley and visitors. The signs
were thought to be a history of the
lives and fortunes of an ancient race.
The decipheri1g of the signs, which
are as queer as the cryptograms of
were solved by accident and came
out of an apparently trifiing order for
postal cards.
Wright went out to Shavano last
fall to wander among the painted
walls, which attracted so much atten
ton. Realizing the strange1ess of the
legend. he took a number of photo
graphs of the picture rocks, and had
one of them engraved on a postal card
Professor Porter got possession of one
of them and a few days ago he wrote
that he a uncovered a tragic story
of love, war and death.
War Was Over a Woman.
Before Professor Porter saw the
characters, the people of the valley
knew only that there were drawings
of hunting spears, bear, deer and ami
mails, which are supposed to be pre-
historic. There were strangely clad
men and women and signs indicating
fights and journeys. Thousands have
filed with wonder The pictures,
which have borne numberless years
of sun and storm, showed up OF the
walls as stern as the GROWING sum-
NIT of Mount Sneffels.
According to Professor Porter the
Ancient jewellers of Shavano valley
had a terrible war over a m
The chiefs of three tribes loved her
and when the bloody contest ended
all were killed, including the princess
who was hit in the eye by a flint point
ed arrow. A number of arrows, such
as described in the picture, were
found ten years ago at the base of the
wall.
Professor Porter's story covers a
great many more incidents thar the
\ mentioned, but this was all that
he wrote Of.
Coming to Colorado.
The photograph did not includ a
part of the space taken on
the canon wall by these writings, and
it is said Porter is coming to Colora-
do this summer to continue his re-
search. The crytograms of Egypt
and the cuneiform of Nineveh have
explored for years by scientists,
and many valuable facts supplement
tary to sacred and profane history
