ANCIENT CIVILIZATION
REMAINS IN ECUADOR

NEW YORK, September 11.-Prof
M. Fl. Saville Of Columbia University,
who arrived yesterday from Colon
aboard the Panama line steamship
Panama, has been in Ecuador hunting
for the remnants of civilization pre-
ceding that OF the Aztecs. He says
that he found them in the interior of
the country at place that he desig-
mated somewhat dimly as between
fifty degrees north of the equator and
a similar distance south of it and 100
miles from the coast.
Prof. Saville has written a book In
which he intimates that an ancient
civilization might be found in a certain
part of Ecuador, and the object of his
trip was to prove his theory. He says
he has done so even beyond his expec-
tations. He discovered monuments
copper relics and pottery along the
coast which showed on the part of the
makers high development in indus
trial art, approaching that of the
Aztecs.
He spent nearly three months ex-
ploring and was surprised at the rich
nature of his finds, some of which he
brought with him. In spot in the
interior which he did not wish to speci-
fly he discovered the ruins of a city that
had contained about 5000 houses built
f1imsily aloft to withstand the infiu-
ence of earthquakes, which have been
prevalent in the region for many CEN
turtles and still make trouble for the
inhabitants. These ruins are aban-
doned. From the viewpoint of the
professor they probably existed long
before the Spaniards set foot on South
American soil and despoiled the In
cas-. 1t seemed as if the ancient peo-
pie, judging from the pottery and con-
per wrought utensils the professor
found, were in the transition stage of
development between the Indians and
the Aztecs. The street of the city were
laid out in regular form and the foun-
dation of the houses, in a sad state of
wreck above, were substantial.
This is merely the beginning of the
professors Investigations. He will visit
the scene of his discoveries next sum
mer and try to get a completer knowl-
edge of vanished civilization, about
which even the traditions of the In
dams around it's site say practically
nothing.
The professor will write another
book about the subject. May be that
is why he did not want to give too
much information for immediate pub
lication.

The Deer Park Typewriter.

Considering that Secretary TAFT and
Ambassador FRANCIS agree that Oyster
Bay is one of the hottest places on
earth" the correspondent of the Boston
Transcript at the summer capital de-
serves recognition as a veritable sala-
mander when he ~revives the story that
Mr.. ROOSEVELT will not retire on his
laurels after March 4, 1909. Thus the
news maker sums up:
whether the President Is 20 become Senator.
Congressman. college head. business man or builder
Of the Panama Canal after his term Of once eX-
plres will In all probability depend purely upon
circumstances"
Mr.. ROOSEVELT a creature Of circum-
stances? Not if JONATHAN BOURNE, Jr.
bold JACK BoURNE-of Oregon knows
il. Listen to the click of the typewriter
at Deer Park! JACK is debating a
definition of the first elective term in
complete disregard of Mr.. RoosEvELT's
understanding that he is 20 serving his
second term and entirely oblivious Of
the fact that on each and all Of the Sen
atorial visits al the White House before
the summer vacation began the Presi-
dent pitilesslv impressed it upon JACK
BOURNE that he must disappoint him and
could not be a candidate again, But the
Senator knows no such word as fail.
For twenty years he was a candidate in
Oregon for the United States Senate on
any old or any new platform, and nothing
like his publicity bureau was ever seen
before or has ever been seen since,
except perhaps the hopeful Deer Park
enterprise.
II will be recalled that on each occasion
Of leaving the Presidential presence the
new Senator from Oregon, in spite Of the
Presidential frown, again defined the first
elective term and again declared that,
willy nilly. Mr.. ROOSEVELT must have
another. The burden Of the reiteration
was that the people wanted him. In
Oregon. where they understand the
wants Of JACK BOURNE, his own version
Of what the people a has no currency.
II is what he wants that occupies his time.
No edict from Mr.. ROOSEVELT would
stop the click of the Deer Park type
writer. The third term boom is a pri-
vate spec Of the bounding BOURNE of
Oregon. who knows no sound save his
W dashing. But the behavior of JACK
after his many closet conferences with
the President must be calling to a proud,
high spirited man acutely sensitive to
being misrepresented.

Observations or an Investor

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sr The
chief occupation Of the Federal officials who
deal with our corporations seems to be the
issuing of sensational pronunciamentos at

Would IL not be only fair for one AT least

securities are listed In New York? This would
be a great boon TO an immense number Of
small pitalists-including the widows and
orphans.
The prospective buyer OF a security would
then always refer TO his ready list Of "ap-
proved" observation-disclosures that he was
buying something that would not the next
day be trampled under foot and spat upon,
hRuratively speaking. by the Government.
As matters are now conducted. a great
corporation is formed by permission and
charter obtained from 4 sovereign State.

may judge by their historical record
the Arabs and Moors Of Morocco may be
expected to show themselves wen more
fierce and tenacious than their Mos

men OF a temper very different from that
which the French met with in Tunisia
or from that which the British encoun-
tered in the fellaheen OF the Nile Valley.
The Afghans themselves are not more

these Moorish champions Of Islam, who

II should be and doubtless will be
recognized at Berlin that if n virtual
conquest OF the whole Shereeian Empire

nently safe therein, France, by virtue
Of her proximity to the eastern frontier,
by her habitual maintenance Of a large

Emperor WILLIAM likely to deny that the

it should not be hard to reconcile the Ger

Of one or more coaling stations on the
west coast of Morocco might avail, espe-

arrangement, easily brought about by
Official pressure, for the admission of
Germany's Government bonds and rail-

nots fed from one persecution, Catho-
lies from another, and fortune hunters
gathered from all lands. To Maryland,
in the latter part Of the seventeenth CEN
fury came the HANSON family, direct
descendants Of the vAsAs, the royal
house OF Sweden. Louisiana in her
earliest days was ruled by the best blood
Of France. New England had for its
aristocracy the scions OF the odd coun-
try's" most substantial gentry.
The evolution is entirely legitimate.
Sir CYPRIAN makes no mistake when he
asserts that we have a thoroughly we'll
defined ar~istocracy with pedigree and
origin complete. But what puzzles us
ia the difficulty Of identifying his sources
Of information. He may have visited
and made a genealogical study Of the
old families of New York. New England,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the
Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Louisi-
ana, but we can find no record Of the fact.
And IL he has not done these things, how
possibly can he know whereof he speaks?
H. is inconceivable that he has derived
his convictions from any enlightened
contemplation Of u European col
onies"-London, Paris, Rome and so
forth. Doubtless one beholds in those
great capitals the American ~apotheosis
as regards expenditure, ~ostentation and
all the rest of it. There he finds the
ultimate evolution Of the free feed, the
carnival of pageantry, the parade Of
purchased splendor. But if Sir CYPRIAN
has confined his observations within
these limits, how can he have attained
this conception Of the American pa
t~riciate, and upon what hypothesis does
he base his structure Of an American
~aristocracy?
1t is a fascinating topic, but il battles
us for fair.

Big Yachts and Little Ones.

A study of the list of yachts now
threshing their way 10 the eastward in
the cruise Of the New York Yacht Club
will call attention TO the significant in
crease in the number of small craft in
the fleet. Quite within the recollection
Of Young lovers Of nautical sport is the
time when any vessel measuring less
than forty feet on the water line was
deemed unworthy of a place in the re-
gattas Of this important club. At that
time, indeed, there was a general dispo-
sition to look down upon small yachts
as the playthings of mere boys who could
DO their w sailing.
But that time has gone. IL is now
thoroughly understood that the little
boat whose gear is simple and whose
management requires cieverness more
than physical labor is the nursery of
craftsmanship. All the local yacht
clubs are doing much to encourage the
racing of small boats, and the result is
that New York is breeding a race OF
canny young shippers whose sm~artness
is a match even for the experience of
professionals.
All lovers Of Yachting recall with de-
light the exploits Of the delectable ADAMS
boys of Boston, who were among the
first to give fame to the benefits Of small
yacht handling in these later days. New
Workers point with proverbial pride to
their HANNAH boys and TO HARRY MAX
WELL, who have in many brilliant battles
Of the wheel harried the best profession
ais and in no few instances got TO wind
ward of them.
The big yachts cost more to build and
to maintain, and more alluring prizes are
offered for this class of vessel, but those
who watch the contests Of the smaller
fellows in the present cruise will see
some Of the most brilliant displays Of
nautical ability.

There are serious pending questions OF
constitutional law and statute Interpretation
growing out OF each Of tie three ensctments
having the names respectively OF Hepburn

So excellent a lawyersas senstor Foraker
has recently denounced the rate amendment
Of last year to the Hepburn statute as q vio-
lstion Of the Constitution. Senator Knox

Yale law school that the statute OF 1905 I'M

President Roosevelt began In 1905 a criticism
OF the Sherman antitrust law as interpreted
by the decision OF the Supreme Court In 1897.
which decision was to the effect that the pro-
hibitions Of that law are not confined TO unrea-
sonable contracts. or agreements In restraint
OF trade. but cover those that are reasonable.
The President IL willing TO permit railroads,
whether competing or uncompetinR, 10 make

are sanctioned by himself or his commission.
Doubt has been thrown on the true interpre-
tatlon OF the Sherman law by expressions
which one Of the Justices Of the Supreme
Court let fall in a recent case regarding rea-
sonable and unreasonable restraint OF trade.
Many OF the Legislatures of the States have
also recently raised interesting and novel
railway rate questions under the Fourteenth
Amendment. a. well as in regard to the right
OF q State to prevent q litigant from repov-
ing a case from a State into a Federal court.

The Experiment In North Carolina.

The experiment of compelling the
within the limits of the State Of North
Carolina interstate as distinguished
from interstate traffic-at the new rate
Of Pa cents a mile began on August s.
Passengers who cross the State boundary
from a point in the State will have to
pay the old rate Of 81 cents a mile, since
to charge them the new rate would be
TO discriminate against travellers in
adjoining States,
The first days intrastste receipts
we're heavier than usual, as was to be
expected. and the advocates Of the re-
duced rate by legislative decree point to
the fact as confirming their view that the
Southern Railway Company was goug-
ing its patrons when the Legislature in
tervened. Nevertheless the company is
not sanguine that the reduced rate will
bring it enough extra passengers to make
up the disparity between the old and the
new rate. North Carolina is a State OF
magnificent distances, and the country
people. whose necessities oblige them to
be thrifty, will not ride on the railway
trains for the mere sake of travelling.
The Southern Railway Company is
probably right when il predicts a falling
of in total receipts, although traffic may
be greater. But the new rate is an ex-
~periment-for the State as well as for
the company. There are symptoms Of
uneasiness about the success of it. Even
Governor GLENN is open TO conviction,
for he is reported as saying that if the
compulsory tariff proves burdensome he
will call a special session of the Legis-
lature TO afford the Southern Railway
relief.
The doubts as TO the wisdom OF this
legislation which are creeping into the
minds Of those responsible for it are not
without significance. There is such a
thing as depressing wen a railroad, and
perhaps it may turn out that il knows
more about It's business than the poll
ticians who would undertake to manage
il by positive legislation.
Capital is easily alarmed. From Ashe>
vile comes a report that the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, which provides
transportation for the southwestern part
of North Carolina, has abandoned new
construction work. moved out its freight
cars and may withdraw from the State
altogether because the cost Of hauling
passengers exceeds ia cents a mile. 1t
is probably nearer five cents a mile in
the mountain districts. The people Of
western North Carolina are said to be
much disturbed at the prospect of losing
the accommodations provided by the
Louisville and Nashville. In other parts
of the State the railroads may take off
some Of their trains TO reduce operating
expenses.
Managing a railroad is not a work of
charity, but essentially a business I'M
dertaking. All the laws on the statute
books cannot make a profit NJ of a
deficit. Ifthe Southern Railway Company
cannot afford 10 transport passengers at
q. cents a mile the proof will soon be
forthcoming, unmistakable and unan-
swersble.
