OLDEST KNOWN BOOKS
Most Ancient is The Papyrus Prisse
In The L0uvae

One of the oldest writings OF the
world is an inscription in Egyptian
' hireroglyphics preserved in the Ash
molet Museum at Oxford, England.
What is regarded as the oldest piece
of literary composition and the Oldest
book extant is in the Papyrus Prisse
in the Louvre at Paris.
1t is in Egyptian Hieratic writing
and is ascribed to B. G.. 1920, but
supposed to have been composed as
early as B. C. 1850. Curiously enough
it consists of a treatise on How to
Behave wisely" Much of the advice
given in language quaint and force
iul Is applicable to this day just as to
that bygone past. =.
The oldest guide book In the world
is P~ausanias' description of Greece"
describing a journey made through
that land Of wonderful memoirs by an
observant old antiquarian of amiable
temper and simple faith.
The oldest Latin document is q wax
, table in cursive letter formed by a
stylus and dated A. d. 1876 and can
now be seer in the National Museum
ut Naples.
The Book of Kells, produced in the
! seventh century, is "the glory OF
Trinity College, Dublin" The taste
and ~delicacy, the originality and the
elaboration of coloring place it among
the wonders Of the world. The book
is SO perfect that one can examine 1t
most closely under the strongest mag
lnifying glass without finding lack OF
alignment or an i~rregularity in inter-
lacement.
The medieval miniaturists raised
the art of illumination to the highest
pinnacle of perfection. The most re-
nowned miniaturist was Guido Glove
1496-15-8O. The examples of his
work in the British Museum are not
placed on public exhibition being re-
garded as too precious to run risks
at the hands Of our curio hunters OF
inconoclasts.
Among the superlative "rarities"ar
the printed books sent forth during
the first rs years after the printing
art had come to stay. Such are the "a
''copies of the Mazarin Bible of Guten,
berg and Schieffer about 1445, the
! Mentz PSalter by the same printers
in 1857 (this was the first book print
ed with a date), the first edition Of
Livy 1469), the only copy Of which
on vellum is in the British Museum
where also are the Bedford Hours
the Sforza Book of Hours and Queen
Mary's Psalter.
1t is now almost impossible to OBJ
tain an example of Cations press, ex-
rept in portions Of books. 1t is known
that there are 500 examples extant in

HOME RULE TO THE FRONT

The vital question before the re-
assembled British parliament will be
that of Home Rule. The Liberal min
stry perceives clearly enough that in
approaching this issue it is upon
treacherous ground, but the moment
IS at hand when a decisive step must
oe taken. The Irish Nationalists have
aithfully supported the Government
and have saved it from defeat on sew
!ral crucial occasions. They have
lone so in the belief and, indeed, on
the promise of the Asquith ministry
that a thoroughgoing Home Rule
bill would be put forward and passed
at the earliest opportunity. .
The time is now at hand for the
liberals to redeem their pledge, or at
least to do their utmost to that end.

WHY NOT Elect
WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub'
Iican Paper, Asks Its Read
ers a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
Saws the Tariff Has Been Too High
for a Generation, and Must Be Low
cred.

The Chicago Post, an influential In
dependent Republican newspaper, pro
pounds this question to Republicans:
Why not Wilson?
This question is addressed partiou'
larly to Republicans.
Governor Wilson suits the Demo
Gratis down to the ground, suits all
Democrats who are worthy to be call
ed Democrats. But in ar emergency
like this, why should not Wilson suit
a large part Of the Republicans a
we'll?
Why not Wilson?
Governor Wilson Is a thoroughbred
American gentleman, not only IN the
accident of birth, but In his ever!
ideal, impulse and principle. That
should be the first requirement OF ev
cry presidential candidate.
Governor Wilson is a tried and
trustworthy executive. His brilliant
record as governor Of New jersey
proves that.
Governor Wilson is an eminently
sane and sensible man. He is an emil
nently honorable man. He has d!gni'
fed every place which he has held.
He has performed a splendid public
service by lifting the present cam
paign out Of the riot Of m~udshhsing
with which Roosevelt began 1t.
In every personal characteristic,
Governor Wilson Is equipped to be
any mans president, without regard
to whether that man Is q Democrat or
q Republican What, then. Of his 20
litical qualifications?
Governor Wilson fs, and always has
been, a sensible Democrat, but he 10
not and never has been a Silly, violent
partisan.
Governor Wilson stands for hooesty
and efficiency IN federal administra-
ton. So do all save those who prodt
by graft and inef1ciency.
Governor Wilson stands for the
curbing Of trusts and monopolies. So
do all, except monopolists and their de-
fender, Theodore Roosevelt.
Governor Wilson stands for q
prompt and steady downward revision
of the tarin. So DO nine-tenths Of the
people of the United States.
Governor Wilson believes IL a mere
radical tariff revision than do a large
number Of the rank and file Of Re-
%publicans. But Governor Wilson In
the only candidate who II elected will
permit the revision Of the tariff at all.
The tariff has been to high for a
generation. Is It not better TO take .
chance at getting 1t too low-accordins
to Republican Standardization to let
the known frauds Of the present re-
gime continue for another four years
to rob the public?
Why not Wilson, He will give an
honest, a dignihed. a capable admins
tration. He will respect the constitu-
ton. He will see that the tariff is re-
vised downward. He will curb trusts.
He will serve the people.
why not Wilson,

could to represent this measure as &
menace to the empire and to kindle
against it all manner of popular pre-
judice. In some of these attempts they
seem to have overleaped their OWL
purpose, as for instance, in their ef-
fort to fan the spirit of rebellion ir
Ulster. An appeal to armed resist
ance in such circumstances should
and doubtless does meet the censure
of thoughtful English voters.
If the Liberals fall with the Home
Rule issue, they will at least go down
as did Gladstone, in a worthy cause; II
they succeed, they will be more firmly
%intrenched and will win fresh admir-
alton for the Government they are
conducting.-Atlanta Journal.
