Land of the Morning Calm.

"Rich in the capacity for friend
ship, poetic lovers of nature with dis
tinct literary tastes," this is how Mr..
George Sherwood Eddy describes the
Koreans; but, he adds, they are suf-
fering from the result of centuries of
relative idleness with no incentive to
work. 1t is said that Korea Is truly
the land of the morning calm and it
might be added-and Of peaceful inn
providence. In his book, "The New
Era In ASIA" the author shows that 1t
is only the right incentive that is
needed to produce a high state of etli-
cheney In the country.
The devotion and self-sacrifice of
these people was wonderful. Mr.. Ed
dy mentions man who restricted
himself to one meal day in order to
subscribe to the funds Of the mission,
and was able to give sum of 100
pounds {8100) in two years. Another
man was found plowing by hand, hav-
ing sold his OK in order to give to the
funds.

tains, standing in their sublime and
rugged grandeur, mute but eloquent
witnesses the. puny littleness Of
man, and the infinite power and great
ness of the Divine Creator who up
heaved them. It was shivering cold
at the Springs the day passed thru
on account of seven inch snowfall
on Pixies Peak the day before.
It is said that the vicinity of Col
orado Springs is very popular with
young lady tourists because there is
always a Manitou around there. Well,
woman was made after man and in
some respects she has been after him
ever since.
Then on to Denver, the famous
Queen City of the Plains, to visit my
step-mother, Mrs. Priscilla T. Bell,
who has made her home here ever
since my fathers death. In Denver
one sees tourists everywhere. But
the restaurant prices are surprisingly
low in these times. Although Denver
is in the zone of mountain time, the
city has adopted daylight saving"
time, which is the same as our CEN
trail standard time. AS the hotel day
in Denver closes at one o'clock
p. M, no doubt the hotel keepers find
it very profitable in their business.
Denver's great church, Trinity
Methodist, has just sustained Sc
we're loss in the elevation of its
brilliant pastor, Rev. DR.. Charles l..
Mead, to bishopric, which was done
at the General Conference held in
Des Moines last May. While being
made bishop must be coveted hon
or to DR.. Mead, it was, at least, a
sacrifice from a financial viewpoint.
His church was always filled. 1t was
an ordinary occurance for him to
welcome from twenty five to fifty new
members every Sunday. And these
welcoming receptions were regular
feature of every Sunday morning
service and were worth going far to
see. But DR.. Mead was an eloquent
preacher also. He is now Bishop of
the Denver Area.
The topic of all-absorbing interest
in Denver just now is the streetcar
mems strike. which occurred on Aug.
list, and is not settled at this writing.
So far the union seems to have the
worst of it. Judge GreeleyW. Viii
ford has sentenced seven Of the lead
ers of the Garments Union to Jail for
ninty days for contempt of his district
court. Government troops arrived
with riot guns and are now riding the
tramway cars to guard the passen-
gers and the property Of the Tramway
Co.. Federal Conciliator, G. G. Harry
of the Department of Labor, is here
trying to bring about satisfactory
settlement of the troubles, but has
not succeeded so far.
With best wishes to all,

TEXAS ONCE CANNIsAl. HOME
University Man Finds EWdances OF
Depraved Prehistoric Race in
Southern State.

Evidence that Texas was inhabited
by prehistoric people, different from
the Indian who roamed the plains
when the first white man came, has
been unearthed by James Il. Pearce,
professor of antllropology of the Uni
versity of Texas TIE early inhabi-
tants he said, lived a nomad-like ex-
istence, roaming from one part Of the
wilderness to another and killing, With
rude stone weapons, animals and even
humans for food.
Professor Pearce, who has been in
vesttgating the mounds for more than
year, reported: "The life history of
these people has been read from the
reports they left in tfeir burned rock
mounds or kitchen middens These
mounds are piles of broken and
charred bits of limestone three or four
feet high and sometimes rs long as
100 feet. They are made up of the
kitchen refuse OF these prehistoric
peoples who had regular canp sites at
frequent intervals along the Edwards
plateau, extending from Austin west
ward to New Mexico
1.-THE kitchen mihdens which we dis
covered are the only things of their
kind in America, so far as l know, al
though they have been found in other
parts Of the world. AT these sites
camps were located with n great fire
place in the center over which Eslge
slabs Of limestone were placed as q
sort Of primitive stove upon which to
cook the meat the Inhabitants killed.
1--WE know these people We're cam
nibals, for among the refuse heaps
have been found human bones split
apart in order to get at the marrow"
When the present Investigation on
the Edwards plateau has been con-
cluded, work will be started upon the
"Funeral mounds in east Texas,
which are the work of an entirely diff
ferent race of people, according to
Professor Pearce.

Mr. Root sailed for home with the
intention of taking part in the national
campaign and to urge America TO ad-
here to the international court plan,
which he is said to regard az the high
point of his career. The proposition
was taken up for discussion by the
league council when it met in Paris on
Thursday. 1t was expected that Italy
and Japan, and perhaps America,
would make objection to the article
in the constitution of the court which
provides for compulsory adjudication.
In making public the text of the prof.
ect the council, in a letter to all league
members, said:
"The council would regard an ir-
reconcilable difference of opinion on
the merits of the scheme as an inter
national misfortune of the gravest
kind. 1t would mean that the league
was publicly compelled to admit its
incapacity to carry out one of the most
important of the tasks which it was
invited to perform. The failure would
be great and probably irreparable; for,
if agreement proves impossible under
circumstances apparently SO favorable,
it is hard to see how and when the
task of securing it will be successfully
resumed"
