Writing in the current issue of the National Geographic Magazine, o. F. Cook, botanist of the National Geo. graphic Society," Yale University Fix petition to Peru in 1915, and of the bureau of plant industry of the de- partment. of agriculture, pays a high tribute to the wonderful civilization of the Incas whose amazing irrigation projects and staircase" farms on the mQnntain slopes enabled them to de- velop such food plants as the potato.
 In substantiatiOn of his claim that the Inca agricultural system was not only the most complete form of sO- Clal organization of which we have any record, but that it also gave the most adequate adjustment of the nu- man relations that lead to continual conflict and confusion in other forms of society, MT. Cook quotes the follow ing from the will of the Spanish con- queror MarCio Serra, who died in Cuzco, Peru, in 1889:
 The said Yncas governed in such a way that in all the land neither thief nor vicious man, nor a bad dishonest woman was known. The men all had honest, and profita ble employment. The woods and mines and all kinds of property were so divided that each man knew what belonged to him, and there were no lawsuits. The Yncas were feared obeyed, and respected by their sub jects, as a race very capable of gov erning; but we took away their land and placed it under the crown of Spain, and made them subjects.
 We have destroyed this people by our bad examples. Crimes were once so little known among them that an Indian with 100000 pieces of gold and silver in his house, left it open only placing a little stick across the door as the sign that the master was out, and nobody went in. But when

learning this very important art. They permit nam eless terrors to deprive them of what is at once a great joy and a safeguard against disaster. Such persons should never go in the water at all, except where there are ropes to mark the limits where they may go, and guards to look after them.
 It is true that one often reads of ''good swirnm ers'' being drowned. But usually it will be found that, notwith- standing their proficiency in natation, they have shown bad judgment-ta k ing unnecessary risks, attempting fool hardy feats, or indulging in too viO- lent exercise for their physical condi- ton. Many swimmers do not allow sufficient time to elapse after a hearty meal or after getting greatly heated up, but go into the water too soon. Cramps are likely to seize those who do not take this precautiOn.
 Bathing is like any other pastime. It should be enjoyed in moderation and with judgment. Thus enjoyed, 1t Is one of the most healthful forms of exercise known.

Busting the Bund.
{ New York World. )

The World regrets to report an un- l fortunate controversy between the
 Hon. Elihu Root and the Hon. Staats- Zeitung, both ardent members of MT. i Hughes Dominant AmeriCanism club. MT Root is all for Robert Bacon
 as the republican candidate for United States senator, and has issued state ment explaining how MT. Bacon
 would be of immense value to MT.
 Hughes in the conduct of the foreign
 affairs of the United States The
 Staats-Zeitung's Dominant American
 ism gags at the very thought of
 Bacon and 1t denounces him as "one
 of the most unmasked, unneutral per sons in the United States"
 This is a most unfortunate state of things. The republican organization Is in partnership with the German vote and cannot repudiate it's part ner. It was the German vote that demanded the nomination of MT. Hughes at Chicago, and 1t was the German vote that furnished most of the inspiring sentiment, America First and Efficient" Why should any misguided republican try to tamper with the Hughes Kaiser entente by putting up a candidate for senator who is persona non grata in the Will helmstrasse and at Potsdam? If the Hughes Whitman machine fails to prevent this outrage, Dominant Amer icanism is done for.
 MT. Bacon ought to retire from the the contest. This is no year for an "unneutraP' person to run for office on the republican ticket. It is a year for only those republican candidates whose Dominant Americanism can stand the Imperial German test. What ever MT. Root may think or MT. Choate may think or the Colonel may think, MT. Bacons candidacy is 0 sad example of what MT Hughes would describe as "fneptitude.' He Is busting the Bund

An Example to Connecticut.
(NeW London Day.)

The gift of S15, ,OOO made to Con- necticut college by Mrs. Appleton R. Hnlyer of Hartford for the erection of a field house and assembly hall, will stand out, through the years, not only as graceful and particularly timely act, but as being the first inn portant contribution to the physical equipment of the university to origin ate anywhere in the state of COnnec- ticut outside of New London. So that It's donor attains to a peculiar distinction not merely as be maker of a generous gift, but as a leader among Connecticut people of means, in the recognition of Connecticut college as a statewide interest, an institution in which all sections of this common wealth should properly display an equal concern and for the welfare of which they should feel a special re- spOnsibility.
 That there have been contributions some of them splendid ones when considered in relation to the means of the givers, from Connecticut people to the general funds of the college does not alter the fact that Mrs. Hill yer's benefactiOn stands by itself as the first tangible evidence that the institution is thus regarded as a Con- necticut responsibility, as well as g. Connecticut asset.
 Undoubtedly it never occurred to this Hartford lady that by her fine constructive action sEe was creating for herself an unic' osition among those benefactOrs Cf Connecticut col lege whose number in the future will certainly be large but she has done so nevertheless, and a distinctive quality will always attach, in the tra- ditions of the college, to the modest but adequate gym and assembly building which, we mako no doubt, will forever bear the name of Hill yer. Nothing in the future history of Connecticut college, of course, will ever affect the status of the name of Plant as that of the man who made the university a possibility; but among those other names which, in time to come, will associate themselves with the campus, that of the Hartford donor will always suggest the thought that, After the foundation, she was the firSt.''

 Honesty and Prosperity

they saw that we placed locks and keys on our doors, they understood that it was from fear of thieves, and when they saw that we had thieves among us they despised us"
 The great fortress of Sacsahuaman near CuZcO, Peru, is the most stu pendOus example in American of what prehistoric men could accomplish. It's builders had no better tools than stone hammers and fibre ropes, and understood no more advanced me- chanical principles than the lever and the inclined plane. Many centuries ago, long before the days of the In cas, a primitive people constructed the walls of this fortress. Like the inhabitants of ancient Greece, they were aware of the strategic value of salients and re-entrant angles, a knowledge which had been lost in Eu- rope before the era of the First Cru sade.
 The ancient builders constructed three lines of salients extending on terraces, one above another, for a third of a mile across the back of a hill which overshadowed the city of Cuzco. The terraces are faced with colossal boulders, some of which weigh more than twenty tons, and most of which were brought from quarries in the mountains a mile or two away. Several stones in the lower tier, at the points of the salient, are over twenty feet In height.
 Notwithstanding the difficulty of handling and placing In position such enormous and extra ordinary irregular blocks, they were fitted together with great precision. No cement was used in the construction, the strength of the walls being due to the very irrAGu- arity of the blocks and the method in which they were locked together. It Is almost incredible that a prim- l itive people should have had the cour- age and the patience to carry out such an enormous undertaking.

0UT-OF-TOWN POLICE WORK.

@Commissioner Howard M. Steele of Ne safety board is not kindly disposed MWard the idea of sending our po- #emen from New Britain to other E Hes on occasions Of great festivals or #1er gala events. His attitude on #s score was made known last night # the regular meeting of the board. #ne six members of the New Britain @ lice Force were sent over to Mid- M town yesterday by Chief Rawlings M help handle the crowds attending AacelebratiOn there.
 RSome basis to MT. Steele's complaint Night be found if the entire regular Sice force of New Britain were re- E#Ved of work here and sent to a E ghboring city for duty. But since x this case a small squad of officers # de up the delegation from New N tain there should be no severe Mticism. It is a courtesy existing be- #Ren cities that they exchange police #Ptection during times of extra
 E mary activity. When the late |sAsarles Hamilton performed his #rvelous aeronauticaI feats in New
 E tain and the day was made one of
 ste- wide interest nearby cities gladly #Anished part of their police depart
 An nts for duty in this city. It is e-worn custom. Yesterday at
 hdletown there were police officers asm Hartford, New Haven and Wa
 @oury, besides those from here.
 Vhen the day comes that New Mtatn cannot return courtesy to a zHghboring city then New Britain E uld never make plans for any Ent that might attract people from M parts of the state. For, on such S# occasion a call for extra police
 n nearby towns would necessarily a e to be made. It could not be S#e e with propriety unless New
 ain stands ready and willing to # procate. It might be better, of @srse, to send supernumeraries in $&d of regular officers when out of an work is to be done Tn this way Se could be no interruption to the
 k of the force.

Without Honor.
Providence Journal.)

(HTONlQeuC6 JO1I 1le1l'|
 The German government, in ad- dressing the United States government on the question of the interned off1-
 cers of the Kronprinz Wilhelm and
 Prinz Eitel Friedrich who violated the enga gements given in their De- half and escaped from this country indulges in some fine-spun ethical dis functions.
 We are seriously asked by Berlin to believe that the vanished IeutOnS are not morally culpable because, in the first place, the commanders of the ln- termed vessels did not sufficiently in struct their officers and crews regard ing the significance of the 'assuranCe' (versicherung) given by them;" and in the second place, because ''the ex- pression 'pledge' chosen by Rear
 Admiral Beatty in his letter to the commanders does not conform abso-
 lutely to the idea of the word of 1 hOnor.''
 This is hair-splitting beyond the 1 comprehension of most of us. But the | Germans have a new moral code. It 1 governs all their conduct at least so 1 far as that conduct relates to the 1 state.
 l Allegiance to the empire, loyalty to
 the house of Hohenzollern-these are 1 the cardinal requirements of the new 1 code. If the Ten Commandments or 1 established moral conventions or any 1 other considerations whatsoever cOun- | sel to the contrary, no matter. The state and the dynasty can do no wrong | and no one who gives his WhOle- 1 hearted service to them can be held blam eworthy.
 It is by such atrocious subversions l of ethics, however, that the Germans l have forfeited the respect of the civil l lized world. What would it profit them I if they gained all the ends at which l they aim and lost the esteem of their ] fellOW-men?
 But it is doubly pitiable when they | sacrifice this esteem to no purpose. The interned officers who broke
 their pledge, or ignored their "assur- | ance" or violated their word of l honOr'-cau it what we will-did a 1 shameful thing. They knew the mOr- l al requirements of their situation. vet | they deliberately offended against the l universal sense of decency, and so | contributed to the worldwide disgust l that German contempt for justice and 1 honor has awakened.

That American Plan.
(Collier's Weekly.)

Some Philadelphia paper reused up once to record this dialogue: Well, she makes him a good wife, doesn't she?" "Yes, indeed and she makes him a good husband too" That's another angle on the modern American scheme eff there is oneD of family life. We are all accustomed to see ing his wife determine where the fam fly is to live, what church they are to go to. where the children are to get their schooling, what lines of work the boys are to take up what chances the girls are to have at getting mar ried (except in so far as the younger women may have a say themselVes,) what standard of living the family is to maintain, etc. etc. but it's rather a shock to be told, even in jest, that she is also the master pilot of what should be their joint-stOCk craft. What has become of the old-fashioned hus- band, with touch of Dombey in him, who had chart and compass of his own and an eye for the fixed stars of this life's sky? Have golf and the automobile so prolonged mans per iod of infancy that woman is now the maturer being and has to do the fam fly steering2
