a = -O-A-' Half its people
worship in their way the one living
God. They are monotheists, Moham-
medans; the other half, the lower,
subject, conquered half, are heather.
Arab monotheism and negro fetishism
are mingled in the Sudan. The peo-
pie are of mixed blood and mixed re
ligions.
The name Sudan is a witness to
this mixture. 1t is an Arabic name,
and means Land of the Blacks" 1t
witnesses that the land of the negro
has become Arab. The Semitic and
the Hamite dwell together in its sun,
ny plains.
The Sudan lies between the great
desert of Sahara and the vast Kongo
basin. 1t is bounded on the east by
Abyssinia, and on the west by the
Atlantic. America is 5000 miles
broad, from New York to San Fran
cisco. The Sudan is 500 miles broad
er-3,500 miles 1t is as large as Eu-
rope, minus Russia.
The men of the world are the heroes
of the Sudan. Travellers have been
heroic Distance has been no bar to
them. Disease and death have proved
unable to alright them. Neither love
of friends nor fear of foes has been
able to dissuade them from their
fixed resolve to open it to the knOwl-
edge of the world and bring its people
into contact with the civilization of
surrounding lands But the heralds
of salvation have almost wholly for
gotten this mighty heritage of a host
of heather nations They have left
them all these ages to the reign Of
unmiXed darkness and unmitigated
depravity

Discussion of Sermons.

What is to be thought of the discus
sion of sermons? asks the London cor
respondent of the Record of Christian
Work I do not mean the discussion
of sermons by the congregation when
they are on their way home from
church, or around the Sunday dinner
or supper table. But the discussion
of sermons in the church itself. after
their delivery, and before the people
go home. Though no doubt not the
first to make the experiment, it has
recently been tried by Rev. J. e. Rob-
erts, the successor at Union chapel,
Manchester, OF the eminent DR.. Alex
ander Maclaren.

also The quickest increase.
The Beaver Laud & Irrigation

will sell 10000 acres additional
when their reservoir system shall
have been completed.
These reservoirs will require
from two to three yeurs for com

To sell 1900 acres the Beaver
company will have to take several
thousand people through the tract,
and show them what has been ac-
oomplished by those who bought
the first 1000 acres.
Hundreds will want improved o.

who buy in Beaver Park now will

Every dollar you spend in
Beaver Park will double in two
years. You can buy twenty acres
now and by improving it, sell 10
acres for enough to clear 10 acres
in two years
You will not doubt this if YOU
take the time to see Beaver Park
1t is the most beautiful location in

THE TARIFF ON ART.

We have yet to meet with any very
serious argument against the removal
of the tariff on art objects. Everybody
seems to favor that Even those who
believe that objects dart are 'luxu-
ries." and therefore deserve to pay
heavily for the privilege of importa-
ton, have to admit that as pro-
Queer of revenue the tariff is colos-
sal failure and instead Of fattening
the national Golfers simply keeps
most of the art treasures out, even
when they are owned by Americans.
1t is a sort of lucus non lucendo,
Unsuitable in one view of the theory,
perhaps, but utterly unjustifiable in
practice AS for the artists, the want
the tariff taken off. AS for they public,
it wants the schedule removed. In
deed, we should be very glad indeed
to know who wants it retained? We
never have met any such person yet.
On the contrary, we have met at least
500 who want it remedied, and we
suspect that only the limitations of
space and time prevent our meeting
fifty million.
Certainly it is not fair that the COM
parative1y few minded souls
who care absolutely nothing for
paintings or sculpture any more than
for chromos and Rogers groups
should bar a tariff change that is for
the palpable benefit of the country,
| more ESPECIALLY since not even the
sordid argument exists for keeping
this absurd schedule alive. If anybody
proflted by 1t, one could at least I'M
derstand how selfish interest would
initiate against its removal. AS it is
nothing opposes save the opinion Of a
few uniformed people who affect tc
believe that art is all bosh, cared fol-
by nobody but dudes and dreamers

kind of idiocy.-Lowell Courier-Citizen

THE causes of vagrancy being deep

the causes of vagrancy, such as insti-
Iautionaiism, child-labor, inadequate ed

THE PULP AND PAPER TARIFF

In tender consideration for news
paper publishers the Dipgley tariff
puts on the free list wood for pulp,
rags and other paper stock, of which
there are large importations, On me-
chemically ground pulp Of wood the
duty is one-twelfth of cent a pound;
on chemical unbleached pulp one-sixth
of cent pound, and on chemical
hleached pulp one-fourth Of a cent a
pound, making an average on these
imports Of little over 10 per cent on
the value. On printing paper the aver
age duty is little above Is per cent.
Al the same time the rates on the
above-named articles Of necessity run
from so per cent. to 100 per cent
The newspaper publishers would
stand in much better light before the
public and would be more consequent
in their argument il they should adj
vocate revision Of these duties as
we'll as a repeal of the pulp and pa

there should be no protective duties

BINGHAM ON POLICE PROBLEM.

Not only by reason of its physical
conformation, but because of the
heterogeneousness Of its population,
New York is the most difficult city in
the world to police effectively Lon
don, the only city larger than New
York with a population of 6,576,64S,
has a patrol force of 1928 men, an
average of one patrolman to every
4ss residents, as against New York
with a population Of 4,2S5,425 and a
patrol force of 1888 men, an average
Of but one to every SAT residents, The
district covered by the London police
force, with its greater average of
patrolmen, Is, moreover, compact

and commons, and penetrated by q
single comparatively narrow river,
while New York, divided and subdi-
vided by water, struggles formlessly
at its southern extremity, and, dense

settled In others that the houses are

other great city in the abnormal

NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL THURSDAY NOVEMBER a. 1907

We do not yet know whether every
Babylonian of that age could write,
but in many of the houses were
found tablets Of clay upon which
were recorded the private contracts Of
the owner. In parts of the ruins
were clay letters still in the original
clay envelopes in which they had been
sent.
The Babylonian was essentially a
warrior. for most Of the bronza OBJ
jects which the ruins of his home
have yielded are spear-heads ,both
fiat and round) and arrow-heads.
About the thick wall with which he
fortified his city were found traces Of
the fierce battles which he had
fought. At its outer edge, Just where
the moat may have been, were thou
sands of the sling balls employed in
the wars Of those days. Their Inca
ton shows that they were hurlel
from without the city at the inhabit-
ants upon the wall, but many Of them,
striking below their mark, fell into
! the trench. Though the date Of this
prehistoric battle is uncertain, It's re-
suit is apparent.
It seems that the city fell into the
hands Of the besiegers Its temple
was plundered; the statues were be-
headed and thrown from their pades-
itals, and the chambers of the priests
were RACED. The fate of the people
and their homes could not have az
fered from that which usually bafall
Oriental cities in time of war. The
prosperity of Udnun departed, its
fertilization came to an end. 1t was
not until $500 B. C. that sargon per-
haps one of the first of the Semitic
kings in Mesopotamia, built another
