Without going into the merits of such claims. 1t is worth while noting that there is a strong movement under
 way which means the eventual aboli- tion of lynchings for in the strong beds of Southern influence, where stringing a man up to a tree is some times considered playful pastime,
 there are being enacted laws for the
 prevention to some extent of such
 occurrences. While they may not be totally obliterated, their number can be reduced by proper legislation. An association has been formed among the college graduates of the southern colleges for the purpose of eliminat
 ing lynching, and even in Georgia, the hotbed of this practice, the results of this amalgamation of educational influence is being felt. The enactment of laws along these lines Is being stringently urged in that state and North Carolina which almost runs George a close second, has already fallen into line. All these things tend to show changed feeling in the South, where once lynching was not only condoned but smiled upon, where apologists for the evil were thick in number and ready to fight for what tlfey regarded as their prerogative the taking of the laws oht of the courts and placed in the hands of the mob. It means that the South is be- ing rejuvenated, that 1t is shaking off it's old spirit of revenge, that ittis pav- ing a new path along the road of progress and enlightenment. The North will no longer be embittered against those people who realize the falsity of the old and are endeavoring to set up the new order of things. There are bright days ahead for the South and 1t is starting out on the right road.

 Such a proposal for the wanton waste of government funds wrung protest even from Senator Holle Smith Of Georgia in spite of his in stinctive hatred for every capitalist except the man with the cotton hoe and the one suspender. The attempt of Senator Myers of Montana to get it through the upper house has been unsuccessful thus far. A suggestion that the cost of printing in this case be limited to $10,00O has been made but this is just $10.000 too much.

PATRIOTS DAY, 1775 AND 1916

l Massachusetts and Maine today | to commemorate the heroic deeds of those "embattled farmers who made such noble stands at Lexington and Concord against the might of Great Britain. While these two common wealths alone hold as a legal holiday the nineteenth of April, every state in the Union is no less interested in the observance of this day which meant so much in the nations history. Patriots Day is held in high esteem from Maine to Florida, from coast to coast. It is worthy of note that on this anniversary of a great crisis in the countrys career the President of the United States addresses Congress In person upon the subject of the note he has dispatched to Germany, a note that may mean the parting of the ways between these two great powers. It is fitting then that Patriots, Day be observed in the heart of every true American citizen for there Is no tell ing what may be the consequence of these things that happen today. There have been many celebrations of Patriots Day, but never in time of at-this s,l nasment.
 It Is for every American citizen, then, whether born on this land or whether here by adoption to think solemnly%o the meaning of the word patriot. This is the time when the crucial test Is about to be applied, when mems souls begin to scar, when patriotism may be called before the bar. It is the time when actions and not words may be the things called for and if so the true patriots like those farmers of old will not be found wanting. Never has there been such a time In the latter day history of this nation, never has true American blood been needed more than on this morn ing that recalls another April day in the dim past when patriots stood up that the nation might live. If the same things should come our way again, if the men of the country are called on to preserve it's. honor, there will be no sulking or shirking Awhen tradition is recalled, when the deeds of men who went before are brought to mind There Is much food for thought on this Patriots Day, this nineteenth of April, 1916, that may be written on the pages Of history in let ters as glowing as those that record the nineteenth of April, 1775.

In the election of ex-Mayor George M. Landers to the presidency of the Chamber of Commerce the men who hold high hope in the destiny of that organization and the development of New Britain have evinced sound iudg- ment and ripe reasoning. There are few men better suited for work of this kind and the city of New Britain, for which the Chamber of Commerce must work, will reap the benefit of the selection That MT. Landers has de- cided to give ungrudgingly of his time and energy to the important things the Chamber hopes to accomplish is but added proof of his generosity to tho city of his birth.

Indians Prevail To >
 Gre1t Exfent In Nexic0

Washington, D. C., April 1s.- There are more Indians living today within tn eterritory originally com prising Mexico than ever existed at any one time in all the rest of the Western Hemisphere combined, ac cOrding to a bulletin issued today by the National Geographic society of ] Washington.
 "Of the 15,OOO,OOO inhabitants of Mexico fully thirty y-eight per cent. pure Indians, and forty-three per cent. of mixed blood, only nineteen per cent. being whites," continues the bulletin.
 "These six million Indians many of whom are descendants of that wonderful race, the Aztecs, are di- vided into many linguistic. families and tribes, the numbers varying ac- cording to the standards of differen- tiation adopted by each enthnologist Some authorities group them into fourteen families, with flfty-one languages and sixty-nine dialects, while others make sixteen family divisions, sub divided into one hun dred, thirtytwo tribes.
 "The degrees of civilization to he found among the many tribes are astonishing. ranging from the abject Scri Indians of Sonora, as pitiably un- developed as the Indians of Terra del Fuego, to the highly developed and splendid specimens of manhood found among the Nahuatl and Maya tribes.
 The finest examples of aboriginal civilization on the North American continent were to be found in the ncighborhood of the present City of Mexico, with the possible exception of that prehistoric race of temple builders whose ruins dot the Yucatan peninsula. It was on the site of the capital that the To1tecs left their inn print from $50 A. D. to the twelftk- century when the Chichimecs, a cruder tribe, replaced them, not by conquest but because the Toltecs died out, some antiquarians attributing their gradual disappearance to the ravages of pulque. the insidious drink that has ever been the curse of that country.
 Then came the highly civilized Acolhuas, and few years later, be- fore the opening of the thirteenth century, the Aztec began to pour in, leaving in their wake, as they came up the plateau, the remarkable
 
 CaSaS Grandes. They built Tula, fifty miles north of Mexico City, and eventually founded Tenochtitlan, on a site selected for them by the gods, according to legend, the sign being an eagle perched on a clump of cacti with a serpent in it's talons. It is this sign which remains today the rational emblem, appearing both on the coins and on the flag of Mexico.
 "One of the most interesting legends about the tribes from which the Indians of today are descended is that recorded of the Colhuas. who are supposed to have enslaVed the Aztecs during the latter's migratory march up the plateau. The con- uuerors soon released their enemies because they were mortified at the Aztecs' custom of offering human sacrifices to their gods.
 "lt was largely to the co-opera ton of the TlaXcalanS. neighboring tribe, that Cortez owed his triumph over the AZtecs. The latter were as brave and as chivalrous soldiers as were the Spanish adventures who enjoyed the decisive advantage of gunpowder and horses, both of which
