4 LIBERAL POLICY PROVED A
GOOD ONE.

The Department of the interior has
been valuing the governments lands
on which coal exists, and, instead of
selling them at the old price of agri-
cultural lands. Is marking them I'D as
coal lands In some cases, the price
has been put as high as $500 an acre.
These coal lands were classified and
restored TO entry In June. At the old
rate, they we're worth s7500,OOO. I'm.

Chicago Tribune declares. Is much
more important than the amounts, and
II adds: IF this principle had been
put In practice many years ago, many
fraud upon the government would
have been prevented" And many

Its coal land, the government does
wisely. II Is ts;ne for a new policy
with regard TO natural resources. But
II is unfair 10 use the new value as a
text for recrlminations about the past
policy OF the government. When II
practically gave away lands. II did so
In order TO get people on the soil. The
success OF Its policy Is evident in the

ments In Washington have been much
disturbed by a recent order Of Secre.
tary Nagel of the Department of Com.
merce and Labor that the heads OF bu.
reaus under his jurisdiction should
prepare report upon the efficiency OF
the clerks under them. The test Is re.
ported to have disclosed the fact that
one In ten of the clerks Is ineficient.
The proportion Is surprisingly low. It
Is not generally known outside Of
Washington that sort Of sfYiciency
record OF the clerks has been kept for
years. Employees have been marked"
on their work. like schoolboys, but mel.
Their by them nor by their superiors
has the record been taken very seri.
ously. Secretary Nagel's order brings
to the front one Of the great problems
Of government. administration every.
where-a problem from which no ma.
ton IL wholly free. and for which no
perfect solution has been discovered.
II Is admitted by those most familiar
with conditions In the United States
that the work OF the departments at
Washington could be done by contract
with private Arms for less than one
half what 1t now costs. The working
hours Of the clerks are from o'clock
In the morning until half past 4.
Throughout the summer months Sat.
urday Is a half.holiday. and every
clerk has thirty days OF sick-leave dur.
Ing the year. and thirty days vaca.
ton. both with full pay. Salaries
range from $3.50 to $4,000; but those
who receive more than $1,000 are more
than those who receive less than that
sum. The average. although not large.
IL higher than the payment for similar
work In private employment. Never.
theless. It IL not sufiicient to enable
clerks to lay up fund for the time
when they will be superannuated. and
they have formed an organization the
object OF which Ii the establishment Of
civil pensions for aged government en-
ployes. In the past the United States
has suffered greatly In Its public ser.
vice through political influence. The
establishment OF civil service reform
has worked a great Improvement. but
not perfection. Moreover. since 1t has
placed this country In line with for.
eign nations In the matter Of civil ser.
vice, 1t is almost inevitable that In
time 1t will also introduce the foreign
practice Of civil pensions. That ques.
ton. however, Is too large to discuss
here.

Important Excavations Made by Prof
Garstang in Asia Minor-Origin
Of People and Their Race
Still in Doubt.

London.-Prof. John Garstang of the
University of Liverpool has made
some recent excavations at SAX Ji-Gen
ri. Asia Minor. and thereby adds an
important contribution to the prob
lem of the Hittites comparable with
the results obtained by the German
archaeologist DR.. Hugo Winckler. who
demonstrated that about 1900 b. c. the
Hittites were on an equal footing with
Babylon and Egypt as the three great
powers of the world
Indeed. two years ago DR.. Winckler,
working under the auspices of the
German Asiatic society. discovered
within the walls of the modern city of
Roghaz koi deposit of 1000 tablets,
mostly in the Assyrian language.
which he identified as the remains of
the state archives of the Hittite en-
pile. This fact has been practically
confirmed by one tablet, which, in
scribed about 1900 b. c., contains the
text of treaty made between Ram
eses H.. of Egypt and Hittite king. A
duplicate of the text of this treaty, in
hierosyphics. has been discovered on
the walls OF building in the temple
of karnak en- the Nile.
Prof. Garstang. in the course of
lecture before the Royal Asiatic so
ciety. stated that further evidence of
the high state of artistic culture
reached by the Hittites in their prime
was strikingly demonstrated by the

these had not been exposed to the
weather the inscriptions and carvings
were much clearer and more distinct
than similar monuments of Hittite art
previously discovered Although found
in what was. in Hittite times. only a
provincial city, the sculptures com
pared favorably with even the best
Egyptian reliefs.
Excavations was almost entirely
confined to the smallest series of
mounds. but soundings were made in
other mounds with a view to ascertain
ing whether they would repay eXcava-
ton. They proved to be all artificial
and full of objects of historical and
archaeological interest.
Prof. Garstang, therefore, looked for
ward to ten or fifteen years work as
calculated to throw much light on the
great Hittite problem. He cherished
the hope that some of the inscriptions
would be bilingual and would thus
open the door to an understanding of
Hittite characters. thereby providing
students with a vast new library of
ancient literature.
The first phase of the Hittite prob
lem is to determine the origin of this
people and their race-whether Aryan
or Semitic-for the researches of men
like Sayce and de Lantsheere have
long since upset the Old Testament
dictum that the Hittites were an in
significant tribe of warriors who sold
themselves and their horses to the
irh NO nrf, To-,
it certain that they confined them
selves to the land of the Hittites,"
the territory between Lebanon and the
Euphrates. AS has been shown by re-
mains uncovered a year ago, the Hit
tiles extended their sway through the
f.evant until about 100 B. c. the en-
,ire broke up into a number of small
kingdoms, which preserved their COM
mon civilization, language, and forms
of government until wiped out by the
counter invasion from southeastern
Europe.
Sources of information concerning
the Hittites. aside from Biblical ref
erences, are two-fold-Egyptian in
scriptions and Assyrian tablets In
the latter the name is COMPOUNDED with
the Khata. They are first mentioned
in the annals of Thotmes Ill, of
the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty,
1503-1449 b. CO. 1t is related that in
1470 b. c. the reigning Pharaoh
marched to the banks of the Euphra-
ties to receive tribute from the land
of the Hittites. consisting of eight
rings of silver. 400 pounds in weight,
and "a great piece of crystal" Then
came record of Hittite attacks upon
the Asiatic possessions of Egypt and
1t was evident that the power of these
people was gradually increasing until
Egypt was obliged to treat with the
invaders in 1900 Is. C.
The Assyrian monuments uncovered
prior to the excavations of the German
Asia,ic society have invariably treat
ed of later periods. One inscribed In
the time of Tiglathpileser III d. CO.
is the first to record the existence Of
number of Hittite states, some OF
which finally became tributary to AS
