NOAH, NOT ADAM, RESPONSIBLE
Says Prof. Langdon. and I'm
1verSity Officials Con.
firm His Ideas.
WRITTEN ON ANCIENT TABLETS

Philadelphia, Penn, July g.
Officials of the University of Penn
sylvania Museum have confirmed the
announcement by Prof. Stephen
Langdon in London recently that
Noah and not Adam was responsible
for the fall of man as shown in his
readings of Babylonian tablets I'M
earthed at Nippur.
DR.. Langdon, who is an American,
was in this country last October and
visited the University of Pennsyl-
vania Museum where he made copies
of about so of the Nippur tablets in
the museums collection.
What makes the new account of
the fall of man especially interest
ing and important Is that It Is not,
like other versions, written in the
Semitic Babylonian language, but in
the Sumerian, the older tongue of
the non-Semitic race, which in the
early days of history held sway over
Babylonia.
BY comparison with other tablets
written in the time of King Ham
murabi, the date of whose reign is
definitely known. the tablet from
which DR.. Langdon made his trans
latiOn probably was written about
$500 b. c., making it the oldest rec
ord known at present of the crea-
ton, the fall of man and the deluge.
Examination shows that the frag-
ment of tablet translated by DR..
Langdon and the tablet translated
by DR.. Poebel were separate. and
that with other tablets they contain
ed the full story of the beginning of
the world.
DR.. Langdon is easily the fore
most Sumerian scholar in the world.
DR.. Poebel is an able translator of
the language, and both he and DR..
Langdon will give their full transla-
lions of such portions of the tablets
as exist to the public in book form
within short time.
Whether our Bible as we have it
to-day will have to be rewritten is a
question Whether the Hebrew writ
ers got their ideas from the SUI
merians and Babylonians or only
through direct revelation is a sub
ject concerning which theologians
do not agree.

KENTucKYs BIG GAIN
IN HER COAL OUTPUT
That For 1913 Was I9,42l,2SS
TOns-A Gain Of 3,00O,.
600 Tons.

Lexington, KY, July 3.-While
all of the details of the report of c..
J. Norwood, Chief Inspector of
Mines, of coal mine operations in
Kentucky for 1913 are not quite
finished, the completed figures
show gain of more than 5000, 900
tons in the coal output of 1913 over
that of 1912 in this State. The to-
tai output for 1913 amounted to
19,421,2SS tons. This refers only
to what are known as commercial
mines, the aggregates being made
up from monthly reports received by
the Chief Inspector from coal COM
panies throughout the year.
Up to 1911 the annual production
of the western field exceeded that of
the eastern one, but i'm that year the
output of the eastern field passed
that of the western and the annual
excess has grown rapidly. In 1911
the excess for the eastern field was
5,729 tons; i'm 1912 it was 2,096
tons, and in 1913 it was 2,54S,97S
tons. The prospect is that within
another five years the output of the
eastern field alone will exceed the
total production for the entire State.
There are now approximately 49,
600 persons employed at and i'm the
coal mines. The number so employ
ed during 1913 was 1885.

1913 will be ready for distribution

The commercial output has al

years, the gain for 1913 over the
output for 1903 being 9,125, 143
tons.

4 plea For Good Roads.

Discussing the Importance of good
roads Editor Ed ID. Shinnick says in
the Shelbyville Record:
what makes farm valuable?
Don't good roads between 1T and the
markets and accessibility to
churches and schools have more to
do with the adding of value to 1t
than anything else? The fertility
of the soil is not the only thing that
prospective purchaser takes into
consideration. Don't all of us know
Of farms that are not adjacent to
good roads, churches, schools and
the county seat that will produce
twice as much per acre as desirably
located farms that will sell for two
or three times as many dollars per
acre? Good roads make the
churches, schools and markets more
accessible. Then why. should any,
one hesitate to do what they can for
the construction and maintenance
of the public highways?"

self Up What We
May Expect.

Col. Roosevelt has recently re-
turned from Europe and notwith-
standing his emphatic declaration,
at Southampton: II will not run
for Governor of New York" the
New York World bids his Progress
sive admirers in that State to be
of good cheer, recalling his past
declarations. as follows:
November 3, 1904, the Colonel
issued an equally emphatic state
ment, in which he said;
On the 4th of March next |
shall have served three and a half
years, and these three and a half
years constitute my first term. The
wise custom which limits the Presi-
dent to two terms regards the sub
stance and not the form. and under
no circumstances will be a candi-
date for or accept another nomi-
nation
December IL. 1907. the Colonel
realfirmed this decision in language
that was as positive as anything he
has said about the Governorship:
81 have not changed and shall
not change that decision thus an
nounced'
February II, 1912. the Colonel
issued "a further statement in which
he said:
~ will accept the nomination
for President IL it is rendered to
me-
And when the nomination was
not rendered. the Colonel busted up
the Grand Old Party and proceeded
to nominate himself.
In the circumstances, what the
Colonel said at Southampton re-
Gently should prove distinctly en-
couraging to those Progressives who
want him to be a candidate for Gov
ernor. If third-term nomination
for President was only a third cup
of coffee, as DR.. Lyman Abbott so
piously explained, second nomina-
ton for Governor may be only a see
ond cup of tea, and as primary day
approaches the Colonel may discov-
er that a second cup of tea is the
one thing his system needs"
The World, therefore, well ar
argues that taking him by his past
performances. Mr.. Roosevelt is quite
liable to reverse himself and yet run
for Governor.

pied territory to take part in mill
tary operations against its own
country.
To bring pressure upon the popu-
lation of occupied territory to take

based on the declaration that the
right of belligerents to adopt means
of injuring the enemy is not unlim-
tied" Special provisions are made

vance warning must be given, wher-

THE WORD BANK
Chicago Evening Post

It seems as if the Illinois Bankers Association is again to go through it's annual meeting without indorsing the movement to protect the use of the word "bank" in Illinois.
 The fact makes the heart of the average public spirited citizen sink a bit. It seems to hopeless that this great State should lag far behind the other states of the Union in giving it's citizens the simple protection that or dered law should give.
 Under cover of the war all sorts of things are possible. Well-defined and steadily growing movements for ad- vance in legislation are likely to be in terrupted.
 Is this to be the case in the long crusade to make the word "bank" in Illinois mean what it pretends to mean?
 Are we to fail to profit by the pitt ful succession of "private bank" fail ures with their trail of ruin to the poor and weak?

NO QUARTER
Richmond Times Dispatch.

lplSHalCi
 The intelligent reader of our in es- sentials, complete and surprisingly prompt cable dispatches from troubled Europe cannot but be seriously con- cerned over the repeated indications that something like a war of extermi- nation Is being or will be waged, or at least closer approach to a war of eXtermination than one could have dreamed to be possible before the out break of the present struggle.
 From Paris-and French soldiers have ever held reputation for chiv- alry-comes word that the War Office has officially told the troops that they need not do more than merely safe guard the lives of the prisoners they take. From Servia comes the sinister message that the troops will give no quarter. It is true that these an- nouncements are said to be made necessary by the conduct of the enemy the Germans and the Austrians. But If the rules, such as they are, of civ lllzed warfare can be so quickly set aside because of what, at the most, can only be uninvestigated reports, it Is greatly to be feared that the re- turn to barbarism is more sudden and complete than even we in this country had thought.
 If the armies in the field are imbued with the spirit that does not recog- nize in wounded or surrendered foe a human being to be succored and pro- tected, then the most progressive na- tons in the world are in no sense re- moved from the warning tribes of Darkest Africa, except that their i'm plements of destruction are more ef- fective.
 The imagination shrinks, appalled, from the picture.
