ANCIENT INDIAN RECORDS FOUND

From the Philadelphia Record.
Records of Indian history, dating from
the time of Christ and containing he
enly acurate information in existence in
regard to the human race on the Amer
lean continent for many centuries before
the arrival of Columbus have been un-
'earthed by members of the Navajo tribe
of Indians in Arizona and are now on
the way to the museum of the University
of Pennsylvania. The records, which
date from the year 96 A D., and con-
tinue down to the present time, upset all
the theories of government experts who
have spent lifetimes in the quest of In
dian history They are considered th.'
most important discovery concerning tie
American aborisines ever brought to
light
The records. which fill three immense
chests, are inscribed on stone. pottery,
slate, barks animal and snake skins.

The facts recorded are startling in their
revelations, and are of tremendous liz
portance 10 ethnologists.
One of the remarkable features Of the
records is the reference to three distinct
races on the continent of North America
1900 years or more ago. These people,
according to the characters with which
they are perpetuated, were of entirely
different blood and antecedents and their
customs and habits of life were at
great variance. Just who these three
peoples We're and their possible origin s
expected to be disclosed by the experts
who are to examine the records.
The theory that the Navajo Indians
migrated from Asia is dealt a severe
blow, and 1t is proved conclusively that
they had great antipathy for all tribes
to the north and the south which have
had their origin on the other side of the
world. Those who have seen some of tae
records believe that they strengthen tie
theory that human life began and went
through a series of evolution on this con-
tinent just as it did in other parts of the
earth, and that the Indians never existed
on any other continent.

AFTERMATH A

Arthur Wiley in the New York Times
There is a road that leads where tie
ghosts of memory thronging.
Mourn for the day of the glad and
strong endeavor-
lonely road, with a length that is
fraught with longing
And an echo of song of one who
passed forever
Woods-gray woods, and bleak as sl,s
gales have left them,
Silent, vast by the road that knows but
yearning,
Grieving, gaunt where the years have
ever bereft them
With a hint of bloom, but never of
youth returning.
Goals ungained, or passed and long for
saken,
Truths that were buried, and deep In
swift forgetting,
Heart calls stilled when faith in God was
shaken
Every they haunt the road of gray re-.
gretting.
Drear is the vast wood lone in the night
fail dimming,
Weary the road that fades where its
length is cropping:
Yet, afar. may the glad sur CLINT on sde
cup once brimming
With youth and the hope that blesscs
still for hoping.

" ING CHARLES 1 of England was
~ tried before the high court of jus
i \ tice at Westminster on January 20.
1913, for tyranny, treason and murder
The arrogant manner in which Charles
attempted to dominate over parliament
was the first step in his eventual down.
fall. Civil war broke out; many engage
ments took place with a varied success
but on the Kings defeat at Naseby, he
retired to oxford, and on the approach of
Fairfax, the parliamentary general, lie
threw himself on the protection of the
Scots, who sold him to the parliament
Charles was finally arrested by party
of 500 horsemen, under the command of
Cornet Joyce, who rushed into his pres
ence with pistols and told him he must
go along with them. Resistance. Of
course, was in vain, and Charles, steppin g
into his coach, was safely conducted t.
the army.
Finally Charles was brought to trial.
The Indictment read in part as follows:
Whereas it is notorious that Charles
Stuart, now King of England, hath had
wicked design totally to subvert the
ancient anu fundamental laws ana Uu-
critics of this nation, and in their stead
to introduce an arbitrary and tyrannical
government, and he hath prosecuted with
fire and sword, levied and maintained q
cruel war in the land against the parlia-
ment and kingdom, therefore we discharge
him, the said Charles Stuart, with the
crimes and treason mentioned, and d.
mand that he appear to answer these
charges"
The trial was begun on January 90
and Go members sat in Judgment, with
John Bradshaw Lord President. On
this day it was demanded that the pris-
oner be sent for, and he appeared i'll
about quarter of an hour. The charge,
which was a long one, was read to him.
During its reading the King sat in HIS
chair looking sometimes on the court
sometimes up to the galleries. and then
rising up turned about to behold TIE
guards and spectators Then he would
sit down with majestic and unmovsd
ccuntenance, and sometimes smiled es-
pecially at the words tyrant, traitor,
murderer, and public enemy to the com
monwealth.
When the King had heard the charge
he demanded to know by what powe.

Agitation Had Good Effect

THE Christmas holidays were Oh
served in Birmingham with suitable
deeorum so far as street behavior was
concerned; and the good order on
Christmas Eve, which everybody must
have remarked was particularly graft
flying to citizens who believe in a joy
GUS celebration, but who protest against
rowdyism,' said Agust Hirsch.
In former years Christmas Eve wit
messed drunken crowds on the prin-
pal thoroughfares in the business dis
trict, and the air was full of unearth-
ly noises produced by tin horns, COW
bells and explosives. Two years ago |
wrote vigorous protest against the
way in which Christmas was celebrated.
The Age Herald backed up what I said,
and took up the discussion again the
following Christmas-the Christmas of
1912. Some agitation seems to be USE
less, but this agitation in favor of Il
sane Christmas seems to have had its
effect. Last Christmas was observed
without any rowdyism whatsoever"

he was called hither and upon his rel.
fusal to answer the charges he was
ordered to be taken away by the guards.
The court convened again two Jaws
later and proceeded to consider the
Kings behavior, and decided that when
he was again brought before them. they
were resolved that he must answer 10
the charge. Should he refuse a second
time. it was ordered that the president
should command the clerk to demand of
him, in the name of the court, the col
lowing: :

the lame of the people of England of
divers high crimes and treasons. which
charge has been read unto Won, +,e

were called, who, one after the other,

On the 9th, it was ordered that the
King be brought to the painted chamber
to receive his sentence. The charge was

that he, the said Charles Stuart, as a.

rest, spit in his face, which his majesty
patiently wiped off, taking no further
notice of it.

he was to be executed the next day. be-
fore his palace at Whitehall, sont an
officer with the request that he might

was granted him. The warrant for his

Corn From Brazil

The announcement that a cargo of
= corn has arrived at Mobile from Brazil
is fraught with much more signifi-
canoe than appears upon the surface.
The corn crop of the United States
for the year just gone was one of
mammoth proportions and it's value
was so excessive that it has robbed
cotton of its title as king"
Why, then, is this country import
ing corn? Surely it is not because
there is a derth of the staple. One
must look for some other cause for
the reason of this economic phenome-
non.
The probability as to the appearance
of such condition was argued ex
haustively pro and con when the I'm
derwood tariff bill was in formation
and under discussion during the last
session of Congress. Advocates of
high protection saw in the provisions
of the bill menace to the interests
of the agriculturist and presaged a
possible annihilation of his vocation,
while the low tariff supporters were
equally as sanguine that the farmer
would reap an appreciable benefit
from it's passage.
Confessedly the enactment of AL
and any legislation has primarily for
its object the fostering of manufac-
turing interests, and where such in
terests and industries are in their in
fancy there is much of merit to be
advanced in its advocacy. Both Italy
and Germany have made great strides
since their enactment of tariff legis-
lation but the conditions which OBJ
tain in these two countries are not
applicable with us.
There is no doubt but that the abuse
of the tariff is responsible for much
of the disaster and oppression that has
marked its prevalence and the desire
to eradicate the abuse has been large
ly responsible for the downward trend
of tariff legislation.
Upon its shoulders has been Justly
laid the reason for the upward flight
of prices and the concomitant high
cost Of living.
This is all quite apparent insofar
as manufacturing interests are con-
cerned, but when the effect of the tar
iff upon the farmer is to be considered
opinions have differed vastly and hon
estly SO.
The general conclusion has been
that high prices of food stuffs were
4 Godsend to the agriculturist and
that the greater the initiation of such
values the greater was the number of
smiles which wreathed the farmers
visage. In the abstract this would ap-
pear plausible but as matter of fact
the economist has erred, and erred
greatly in his conclusions.
Political economy has divided prod
ucts into two great classes-raw ma
terial and manufactured goods. And

The Earth's Age

This is an age of science. Men of
science have measured the earth, the
planets, the sun and most of the
stars; and have determined with ex-
actness their orbits, volume, weight
and distance from the earth. The ele-
ment of chance and uncertainty is fast
being eliminated from many human
affairs. Men in charge of national and
economic matters of magnitude are
generally those who leave little to
guess work. Exact and general infor-
nation upon most any subject is to be
had from reference books; and doubts
concerning questions of Importance
are being rapidly cleared up by scien-
tific research.
However, there is one subject upon
which scientists are greatly piqued.
Old Mother Earth will not reveal her
approximate age to even the most
logical and persevering geologist or
archaeologist. No two authorities seem
able to agree upon this highly inter
esting subject. The earth's estimated
age is all the way from fifty million
to one thousand million years. Our
scientists are learning natures most
profound secrets; but each new year
brings to mind the fact that although
another year has passed, Mother
Earth still holds an intimate secret
from the wisest Investigators.

You will find. too, that all itching
