made public his great find, waiting
such a time as would permit the
assembling of the parts and the re-
construction of the elephant and the
complete mounting of the tree. AS
it is, the secret he has been treas
uring is out because of his perfunct-
ory letter of requisition.
At Athens-on-the-Hill, about six
months ago, thigh bone of an i'm
perial elephant was discovered in per-
feet fossilized condition. Further ex-
cavations in the neighborhood failed
to reveal additional portions of the
monsters anatomy. In other parts of
the world fragmentary parts of this
immense animal have been discovered,
but an entire skeleton has, never be-
fore been found.
When a workman in the La Brea
pits several weeks ago uncovered an
unusually large skull, the boss on the
job failed to identify it with the mas
todon or other similar prehistoric
beasts. Director Daggett was called
in and his joy was almost bound
less, finding final release in the requi-
sition for more wheelbarrows to trans
port other parts of the anatomy that
were Immediately afterwards uncov-
cred.
Twelve men are now at work and it
is only matter of days before the
rest Of the imperial beast is exhumed.
Immediate work on assembling it will
be rushed and it is expected that the
huge skeleton will attract some of the
Psychologists from distant parts of
the world. The elephant frame will
measure about eighteen feet in length
and, standing, on all fours, about fif-
teen feet in height. Its tusks will
measure anywhere from ten to fifteen
feet in length.
AS for the tree, it is of a variety
that is absolutely extinct in this part
of California. Smithsonian and gov
ernment experts at Washington have
declared it species of the sypress
found only in cold climates, and one
that evidently flourished in this Sec
tion of California just after the glac-
ial period. The lower portions of the
tree are in perfect state of preserva-
tion. The upper portions have rotted
away through long exposure to atmos-
pheric conditions prior to the time it
was completely engulfed in the oil
beds. Estimates place it's age at
about 100000 years and make it the
oldest piece of wood in existence.

ferentiation between license and lib
erty, their individual insubordination
must eventually pervade the whole
fabric of organized rule, disrupting
and destroying it.
Whether it be school children restive
under the curb of the pedagog, or a
lax mollycoddle defying decency with
his affnities, or a whole people de-
manding the Alght to review IN judicial
matters, or Theodore Roosevelt leap
ing before the rulings of the party to
which he owed allegiance and appeal
ing from the arbitrament of the con-
stituted authorities to new forms of
authority which he would institute, it
is all one and the same in principle.
In government, in religion and in
society there is diminished respect for
authority. 1t is not a revolution, for
revolution is concrete in it's purposes
and aims at definite reform, nor is it
evolution, for society was organized
in the beginning to prevent such Ii
cense, but it is the apothesis of indi-
vidualism, the effort to elevate per-
sonal opinion above the conglomerate
conclusions of humanity as whole.
1t is an unorganized but distinctly
progressive subversion of discipline.
The early days of this republic
formed an area Of character building.
Harsh the customs of our ancestors
may have been, but they were effec-

women, men whom hardship did not
deter and women whose souls were
big. They respected church and state,
the social order and all authority.
Against constituted wrong they struck
boldly, but individuals did not set
themselves up as superior to the ac-
cumulated wisdom of centuries.

asked to enter into the agreement and purchase the warrants issued in pay ment of debts accruing from that in stitution.
 It is the opinion of Governor Hays that $450.O00 will be sufficient to car
 ry over the business of the state. He has assumed the responsibility of ask
 ing the legislature at it's next regular 9ession to appropriate funds to pur-
 ;hase the warrants from the banks and to reimburse those who sold their
 warrants at discount. The scheme is entirely dependent upon future leg islation for the reimbursement and payment for carrying the warrants. Thus, according to bankers, several phases of intricate banking procedure will be necessary, through which sell lers of warrants will legitimately seek to be reimbursed by affixing to bills presented the state for payment the amounts of the discount they paid to realize on old warrants.
 That the bankers will formulate a schedule of discount rates as they will be determined by the interest in the warrants, is probable. This schedule to be made in order to facilitate the business of buying the warrants. Ac- cording to local bankers, their plan is to figure the discounts as they will be due and have the figures always at hand to present warrant holder who wishes to sell his warrant.

HAYS HAS PLAN TO
 SAVE STATE CREDIT
GOVERNOR OFFERS SUBSTI- TUTE FOR CALLING SPECIAL
 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

3 Little Rock, Sept. 20-The finan- cial plan of Gov. Geo. w. Hays, to provide funds for the various state institutions until appropriations by the next legislature shall remove the deficiency in the general revenue fund, yesterday was ,concurred in by members of the Little Rock Clearing House Association. By agreeing to the plan as presented them by the governor, the local bankers make pos sible meeting with members of the Arkansas Bankers Association to be called for early in October. At that time the brief plans as drawn by the governor will be discussed and elab- orated and all arrangements made for putting them into execution. Ulti- mately it will be possible for holders of state warrants to sell them to the banks at discount equal to the pre- scribed rate of interest. Then it is hoped the next legislature will pro- vide a reimbursement equal to the amount of the discount.
 The provision for selling the war rants, however, is only small part of the governors plan. He proposes to induce the banks throughout the state to enter into the movement to
 
 finance state institutions in the face of the growing deficiency in the gen eral fund. At the October meeting the banks in each county where there is situated state institution will be

This question of the privileged position
of the nobility in the German diplomatic
service was a principal subject of dis
cussion in the debates on the budget OF
the foreign ministry, and practically every
speaker united in demanding that COM
moners have the same chance in the
diplomatic service as the scions of the
landed and financial aristocracy. The
members of the reichstag showed that
they were working along American lines
by demanding that the salaries of diplo-
matte representatives be generally and
generously increased SO that appoint
ments might be made on the basis OF
merit, and not solely on account of fam
lily and fortune.
The German government lays stress
upon supplying its ambassadors abroad
with commodous official residences in
keeping with the dignity of the father
land. 1t is giving particular attention to
making the new embassy at Washington

lecture, and to that end it is about to in
vite all German architects to enter con
