An UNKNOWN RACE.
Traditions Of the Hohokam, Who Were
the First Americans.

the First Americans.
In the beginning the Hohokam dweit
h the land. They were the first Amer
lcans-before the pilgrim fathers, be-
fore the Spaniards, before the Indians
They were the unknown people VINO
lived In the United States so long ago
that their name is utterly lost In the
southwest old tribes of Indians nke
the Zunis and Navajos know nothing
Of them save by vaguest tradition.
The Pimas and Papagos of southern
Arizona, who occupy part Of the lano
that once was theirs, know that an
other race possessed the country long
ago. More they cannot tell. They
and their fathers for hundreds OF
years have seen what we see-the
scanty remnants of ancient villages.
For the inhabitants of the villages
they have no name except the Hobo
kam-that is, the unknown"
The modern archaeologist describes
the implements and pottery OF the
Hohokam. He cannot do much more,
for their houses are laid low. Except
in few places. such as the ruins or
Casa Grande, near the ella river, the
very walls have vanished. Casa
Grande itself may be the work OF a
people later than the main body of the
Hohokam. We can never know the
whole story. Yet little by little we
may learn its chief facts. Arizona
and the adjacent regions are full Of
ruins unknown to scientists and even
to the people who live within mile
of them. They are so nearly obliterat-
ed that there seems at first sight little
to repay study.
Archaeology begins the task of recon-
structing the past Geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables
us to determine the mode of life which
must prevail. especially among print.
tive peoples. under given conditions OF
physical environment. If we can cor
rectly picture the geographic environ.
ment of the Hohokam we may learn
much of the history of our earliest fel
low countrymen.-Ell Ellsworth Hunting

of confidence and with confidence re-

cotton this year will begin to fall in
line and in few years we will hardly
know that the boil weevil is with us.
While great many things that ought
to have been done, have been left I'M

this year, still, if the people will wake
up and get to doing the things neces-
sary to be done, there is time yet for
good crop of cotton.
l am sorry that our board of super
visors could not see the vast impor-
lance of this work and cooperate with
the United States government, by max
ing the small appropriation of three
hundred dollars to help pay for the
work, so that could put in full time,
instead of half time, as it is at pres
ent.
only work three days in a week,
because of lack of money to pay me
full time. This is the most important
year that we will probably ever ex-
perience with the weevil, because this
year will determine whether the farm
ers are going to win the fight or not.
The work is so important this year,
that I ought to be working every day
and there ought to be two or three
other men at work seeing every farm
er in Forrest county and impressing
upon them the great Importance of
this work; men that would go right In
the fields and spend few hours OF
actual work, picking off the weevils
and picking up the fallen squares and
explaining to the farmers the things
necessary to be done.
A prominent man here in Hatties
burg, who goes in and out of the city
every day on the Mississippi Contra
train, told me that an old negro ovel

there within the past few days to see

THEODORE {. BECK
After Being Rearrested, on Grant

in a game of battledore and shuttle
cock, that for the past few days WAS
played by the local police department
and the sheriff's office. was released
from custody, Tuesday, by the sheriff

port brought by his wife.

ton of Attorney r. II Sweet. for n

ately re-arrested upon a fugitive war

ENEMY OF WAR AND
FRIEND OF PEACE
Sentiment of President Taft in
Address Tuesday at Airing
ton Cemetery

WASHINGTON, p. c., May 30
Under the shaded arches of the
Washington National cemetery Taft
spoke today, not SO much as the
friend of peace. but as an enemy of
war. Thousands of veterans tramped
the hot asphalt of the streets and
crossed the Potmate and trudged
along the dusty roads to Arlington to
hear the president speak.
Far be it from me, said the
president ito minimize in any way
the debt we owe to the men buried
here who carried on the successful
struggle that resulted in abolition of
the cancer of slavery. but the
thought at which l would but hint
this morning is that even the hal
lowed presence of these dead, whose
ideals Of patriotism and lave of their
countrymen it needed a war to make
everlastingly evident, we should
abate no effort and should strain
every nerve and avail ourselves of
every honorable device to avoid war
in the future"

BRYAN IS DECLARED
UNJUST AND UNFAIR
His. Attitude on Wool Tariff At
tackled by Underwood, Who
Discloses Some Facts

WASHINGTON, D. c., May So
Aroused by William j. Bryan's attack
on the democrats who favor a raw
wool low tariff. the democratic leader,
Underwood, made statement to-
was unjust, unfair and disclosing the
fact that the wool tariffs to be sub
mitted Thursday at the democratic
caucus are much the same as the
Wilson bill wool schedules.
Reducing Wool Tariff
THE ways and means committee
has cut in half the whole wool sched-
ule They have reduced the duty on
manufactured goods as low as they
were under the Wilson bill that Mr..
Bryan voted for when raw wool was
placed on the free list. In that re-
duction they have fallen short of
$40, 100000 now raised by wool by
$13.000.00, and it is necessary in or
der to secure this revenue to place
a revenue tax on raw wool imported
into the United States.
Under the high rates of the Payne
tariff bill the tax on raw wool was
highly competitive, nearly one-half of
the wool used in this country being
imported. When the rates on raw
wool are cut more than one-half of
it is absolutely at a competitive rate
levied solely for the purpose of rev.
enue without any of the essentials OF
Il protective tariff
The committee contends that by
reducing the rates and making the
tariff more competitive more goods
will come and thus supply the rev
enue Under the Wilson bill the tar
ifs on wool have been about pei
cent adva forum, a figure comparing
closely with those in the bill to be
made public next Thursday.
