TO KILL THEM

The condition of the people as to
education in countries civilized under
the auspices of the Church, is fire.
quently referred to by unfriendly
critics of popular education in those
countries.
Did you ever stop to, think of the
work necessary to civilize and Chris
tianize and educate barbarous peo-
pie? Professionalism has never been
confronted with that proposition. They
have found it easier to kill off a ma
tive race than to incur the expense
and labor of attempting to civilize
them.
1t is nearly three hundred years
since the Puritans came to New Eng
land, to country inhabited by bar
barous race. 1t is longer since the
Cavaliers came to Virginia and estab-
lished African slavery, and what has
our boosted high grade civilization
done for either the Indian or the
Negro.
1t is four hundred years since the
Spaniards came to Mexico and the ma
tive race with it's admixtures, is num-
erically dominant today. They may
not compare from an educational
standpoint with the composite nation
ality that we have built up in this
country, in the matter of education
but they do compare favorably with
the best that we can show in Indian
or Negro advancement in education.
If Cortez and his followers had
wiped out the Aztecs and other races
which he found in Mexico, if the mis-
sionaries of the Church had not been
with Cortez and saved their lives and
tried to make something out of them,
we would have the same conditions in
Mexico which we have in this coun-
try, native race exterminated and
supplanted by the conquering edu-
Gated race.
Our boosted Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton has been successful in maintain
ing high grade of education, but it
has been for itself and they had to
deal with peoples and races who had
centuries of opportunity for culture.
England has the problem in her pos
sessions in India, and is not boasting
very much of the high grade or uni
versatility of the education to which it
has brought the native race.
1t is well to consider these things
when we get the reports of we'll fed
missionaries as to conditions in Mexi-
co, South America or other so-called
Catholic countries, where the energies
of the dominant race have been ex-
pended in civilizing, Outstanding
and educating and bringing as fast
as may be, the native race to their
own standard.

CONFIRMS STORY OF FLOOD
ScRIPTURAL RECORD OF NOAH
AND THE DELUGE CONFIRMED
BY SYMBOLS ON AN ANCIENT
TABLET DEcIPHERED AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF PHILADEL-
PHIA.

The Bible story of Noah and the
flood is confirmed in many details by
hieroglyphics written 1000 years ago,
maybe more, by historian who lived
in ancient Babylon, according to an
announcement made on August 4 by
the University of Pennsylvania.
The writing on tablet-an epic of
great length, purporting to reach back
to the creation-has been deciphered
at the university by DR.. Arno Poeble.
The tablet, said to be the oldest ever
rescued from oblivion, was dug up in
Nipur several years ago by museum
expedition.
In strange symbols, so finely writ
ten that the entire poem is contained
on seven inches square, the primitive
historian harks back to the beginning
of all things.
Then there were seven gods, chief
of which we're Anu and EMIL, and a
goddess, Nintu, the tablet says. Nintu
it was who created mankind whom
she called my creations"
Recital of Creation.
Like the first chapter of Genesis,
the Babylonian poem opens with re,
cital of the creation. Nintu, god
mother of humans, is lamenting that
the other gods seem bent on their
destruction.
"At that time Nintu walled like a
woman in travail" reads the transla-
ton. "The holy Ishtar walled on &C.
count of the people. Enki, god of
wisdom, held counsel with Anu, EMIL
and Nintu over the proposed destruc-
ton of mankind Ziugidda, high
priest of Shuruphak, made obeisance
to the gods and prayed, prostrating
himself in humility"
The Ziugidda of the BabyIonians, it
is believed, was the Noah of the He
brews The tablet tells of Ziugidda's
learning from the great god Enki that
mankind was to be destroyed "by a
rainstorm.' Then comes descrip-
ton of terrific wind and rain.
The DeIuge.
after seven days the rainstorm had
passed over the land and carried
away the huge boat Then the sun
god came forth, shedding light over
heaven and earth. Ziugidda opened
the roof of his ship and the light of
God was let in
This version differs in respect to
the duration of the flood described in
Genesis. There it was said to last
forty days.
When the water subsidized Ziugidda
prayed to the gods with a loud voice,
the poem continues, and sacrificed an
OK, sheep, and something with "a
great horn Through the interces-
sion of Nintu the gods forgave the
surviving human beings and gave
them Immortality, which they did not
possess before the flood.
DR.. Poeble has announced that he
will make public later literal trans
lation of the epic. The particular
tablet from which the story of the
flood was translated, the announce
ment says, may be as old as 4,4OO
years, and is reasonably certain to be
no more recent than the reign of
Hammurabi, about 2,1OO b. C.
1t is regarded as the worlds most
ancient historical writing and it il in

While on the subject of Catholic

that this little island is perhaps the

Women Were Ignored.

There has been fer some years
an agitation for the amendment
of the franchise and registration
laws. I took part in it myself.
Millions of men are without the
vote in Great Britain. Asquith
undertook to remedy this state Of
things. But the demands of wom-
en- were ignored.
Mrs. Pankhurst and the women
who follow her could bear no
more. 'i9Rey had borne indecent
assault, impr''oNpept, the atroes-
ties of forcible feeding; some Of
them had suffered unto blood. But
this last insult, the enfranchise-
ment of unenfranchised men. on
whose behalf there has been only
slight and sporadic agitation. and
the denial to them of the vote they
claimed, seemed to them the last
indisnity, the cruelest and cow
ardliest assault of all.
And they resorted to violence
Here I part company from them.
They have committed assaults.
They have resorted to fire. They
have employed dynamite. They
nave attacked the innocent as we'll
as the guilty, the openly sympa-
thetic friend as well as tie indif-
ferent person or the avowed oppo-
nent Of their cause.
1 can not be a party to wrong
doing.
While they were willing to suf-
fer wrong, I applauded them.
When they begin to do wrong it
is impossible longer to defend
them. 1t is not right to do wrong.
Bloodshed and crime, the torch,
gunpoWder and dynamite are not
the weapons which l care to see
women employer men, either
in advocacy of a mighty moral
movement in the dawn Of the
twentieth century.

DR.. Charles F. Aked
Writes on
AMERICAN WOMEN
AND MILITANCY
Bv DR.. CHARLES F. AKED
written for The Atlanta Georgian.

TT is asserted, perhaps with lit
tie knowledge and less judg-
ment. that Mrs Pankhursts
visit to America will be product
i've Of wide results in the adop-
ton of a policy of 'militancy" by
American women.
1t is to be hoped these forecasts
are wrong. "Militancy," as now
understood and practiced, has
done untold harm in England;
has shocked and grieved the best
friends of woman suffrage among
men. and has done apparently
irreparable damage to women
themselves. Nothing in the world
can justify the action of the
Pankhurst circle and their fol-
lowers. But they have been
driven into the irrationality Of
crime by the more reasonless
irrationality and more criminal
crimes Of the Asquith Cabinet. In
America, between the Pacific and
the Atlantic, there is not the
shadow of a pretense that women
are driven or are likely to be
driven out of the path of orderly,
sane and healthy methods of ad-
vOcating a noble cause.
