some of the carvings are evidences Of
the dates I have given. DIP HeWett be-

that they lived in houses somewhat

you can see the stones OF temples
showing out On the tops Of some OF
them grew trees many feet thick and
in mound number ] / saw negroes cut
ting out the stumps Of mahogany trees
They were taking away the earth IN
one corner and there under the super
vision of Mr.. Morley the ancient walls
We're being relaid- The temple on
which he was working was about so
feet wide and 100 feet long The stones
taken out were covered with carvings
and upon them were the faces OF men
and women There were also glyphs or
characters cut in the stone
The stones I first saw were a part
Of a. frieZe and Mr.. Morley showed me
that the wall OF the temple was nine
feet thick, and that the whole of the
outside IS covered with carving. one
door has been eXcaVated and the slabs
over this are seven feet long I saw
one piece Of sandstone which had a
hole cut through il. and it seemed TO
me as though it might have been the
top Of a letter box.
The Grand Plaza
From this temple I went to others,
climbing up the steps until I could look
down on the great court in which the
mounds of temples lay The whole
made me think of the stadium at Ath-
ems. and / can see that when che earth
is all cleared away the site will be
very imposing. Much of the buildings
has already been uncovered and YOU
can walk about through the ancient
structures and wonder what kind of
people put them into shape
There is no doubt but that the stone
all came from some distance The soil
Of the court is a sandy loan. and there
are no rocks of any kind within three
miles of it excepting those in the tenn
pies. The chief quarries are three miles
away, and it is believed that the heav-
lest monuments were brought here by
turning the course of the Quirigua
river 50 that it ran past the temples.
The city seems to have been laid
with a grand plaza or court. with a
smaller court adjoining for the tenn
pies or main buildings The main
buildings surround a court They had
terraced walls from so to 90 feet high.
and in some of them are rooms with
walls of square stones and dOOrways
arched with flat stones To the north
of the plaza is a pyramid, which is
$50 feet square at the base and 40 feet
high. Near this pyramid is a round
carved stone so big that IL would take
40 horses to haul if III was put upon 8
wagon. This stone is covered with
carvings, and among them is that of
woman, deliberately dressed. Nearby
lies another great stone. which looks

that the first civilizations have sprung
up in valleys. The soil there is rich
and the river makes it easy to carry
the products from one place to another.
The fight for food is not hard, and the
people have leisure to cultivate the

But when tho questions involved
are social and moral, they arc not
susceptible Of being made parts Of
party programme. Whonever they
have been made the subject matter
of purity contests. they have cut the
lines OF party organization and party
action athwart to the utter confusion
OF political action in every other field.
They have thrown every other ques-
tion, however important, into the
background. and have made construc-
tive party action impossible for long
years together. SO far as 1 am my
self concerned, / can never consent
to have the question Of local option
made an issue between political par
ties In this state. My judgment Is
very clear IN this matter. L do not
believe that party programmes Of the
highest consequence to the political
life of the state and OF the nation
ought to be thrust on one side and
hopelessly ernba rrassed for long
periods together by making politi-
cal Issue OF q great question which
Is essentially nonpolitlcal. nonpar-
