Child Sacrifice
Altar Is Found

One Of the altars at which the Car
thaginians for centuries sacrificed
their first-born to the Goddess Tanit
has been discovered by NJ. Pouissote
and NJ. Lautier. two French archie
ologists. who are searching the ruins
of ancient Carthage, according to the
Paris correspondent of the London
Times.
Tanit was the name given by the
Carthaginians to the Goddess Astarte.
In front Of an altar near a temple of
Tanit three vaults have been un-
earthed, which contained the charred
bones Of newborn babies and chill
dren from two to three years OF age.
The aroheologists express the view
that to the left of the altar was
stone slab with a bronze grill under
which burnt a fierce fire, and here the
naked bodies of the flrst-born were
offered in accordance with the an
Client rites. which were regularly
practiced from. the sixth or seventh
centuries before the Christian era un-
til the days when the Romans con-
quered and destroyed Carthage.
Another theory advanced is that as
1t was customary for the parents to
reclaim the remains OF the first-born
after the sacrifice, the bones now un-
earthed-which made a gruesome pile
fifteen feet high-are the remains of
sacrificed children placed by their
parents under the protection of the
all-powerful Tanit.

"As goes Maine so goes the Union"
This has been a familiar slogan in
| political history for many years.
Broadly speaking. the horoscope
has been accurate. and, with few ex-
! ceptions, the result of the September
dex Of the result in the nation in
| November following.
Thus Maine has lived up to its
(, motto. "Dirigo"-I direct or lead.
This motto may be considered the
! citizens guide and the object to
| which the patriots best exertions
should be directed
Often the question is asked. why
does Maine hold her state elections on
| the second Monday of September
this year tomorrow. or September 11?"
There is only one answer to this.
and it is: The farmers are better able
to vote at this time, before the bad
| weather sets in and when harvesting
is over practically. Maine dislikes
to make change in anything. This
| conservatism accounted for the strong
| and the powerful influence Of the
delegation.
Governor Was King.
AS a matter of fact, Maine has not
kalways held its state election on the
second Monday Of September. The
first state election was held on the
| first Monday in April. 1920. a month
after the state was admitted into the
Union.
N,,.S <.. ...,~z. n...,;~,. g.,
France south Of Normandy. it is a
strange coincidence that the first gov
| ernor of Maine should be a King.
The people of Maine were the first
to adopt the principle Of ''self-de-
termination. The term was not
common in those days. They called it
separation then. Massachusetts, had
been a just and liberal parent, but
Maine had always had streak of in
dependence in her makeup. She
| maintained that independence by Sc
iecting the second Monday in Septem-
Der for her state election day. when
every other state but one held state
elections in November. Louisiana is
the only other state In the Union de-
termined to be unorthodox in its state
Tueday in April.
The state election Of Maine has
been held on the second Monday in
September ever since 1921. Notwith-
standing the September election is
only a state election. it has been held
as guiding star to politicians and
party leaders. Maine has two cleo
! tions, one in September for state Off
GERS. including congressman: the
!! other in November for President.
Prior to 1879 state elections in Maine

by accident. They came in response
to definite demands and requirements
They came to give the worker
chance to exercise voice In deter
mining the terms and conditions un-
der which he shall give service In IN
dustry.
If the democratic principle Is right
anywhere 1t Is right in industry. The
trade unions rest their whole claim
to a right to exist upon the funda-
mental rightness of the democratic
principle. The reason for their ex-
3stence Is found in industry itself.
Trade unions function through
Rgreements with employers in which
certain stipulations are set forth as
TO terms and conditions of work.
Employers, resisting encroachment
Apon autocratic control-following
every historic precedent-have looked
upon trade unions as organizations
which sought to infringe upon the
prerogatives of employers. They have
chosen to see only the resistance side
of trade union possibilities.
The reason that high fnanciers take
and hold this point Of view Is clear.
They see only profits.

The realm over which Car Nicho-

are republics, others are classed as
communes, but all are autonomous.
