interesting to ArcheoIooists.

Quirgua, Guatemala, is one Of the
most important archaeological sites on
the American continent. 1t is noted
for the beauty and intricacy Of the
carvings of its monuments and the
size of its monoliths. Founded in 45O
A. D., according to most scientists,
probably as a colony of C0pan in Brit
ish Honduras. its art represents the
peak of culture toward the close Of
the first and most brilliant period OF
the ancient Maya civilization. Here
is found the largest monument of the
whole Maya area. mOnOlith nearly
forty feet in length and weighing
more than fifty TONS The site is
marked by numerous squares, or OBJ
long mounds and terraces, standing
alone, or clustered in irregular
groups.

 A COMMON INCONSISTENCY

A wise old man once remarked that ''it is a weak argument which relies for support on an oath or a bet" Which is recalled by this paragraph from the Detroit Free Press: "Some of our heated conversationalists really ought to remember that the whole of the American people are not impressed by the use of such words as dishonest, liar,' 'fourflusher,' 'grafter' and traitor in lieu of real argument" Both observations are true, and find application to a no less unfortunate than notable condition which is preva- lent in the public life of the nation. Time and again the most opprobrtous epithets are applied to the capacity and record of some man holding pub lie office by men who did not take the time to go to the polls and vote. The people elect their representatives in law-making and governing bodies The people can have just as good gov ernment as they are determined to have, or just as bad government as they are willing to tolerate. Denun- citation and abuse from the man who is not sufficiently concerned as to the character or fitness of a candi- date to register his preference at the polls, comes too late for public or private service, and suggests incon- sistency, to say the least. Yet, such situation is witnessed in every city every day. Who is to blame? There is lesson in this which the average American citizen might do we'll to study.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-23
A DANGEROUS POLICY

The appearance or suspicion of wrong-doing is frequently dangerous and harmful. In the state senate a bill has been introduced which pro- vides that newspapers be permitted to exchange advertising for railroad transportation. Some years ago such an arrangement was in general opera tion in Alabama. It did not work Many people who had neither direct nor indirect connection with news papers were riding on the railroads apparently free or on passes paid for by newspaper advertising to settle other obligations, to get business, or for other obscure reason. The system became more or less associated with political influence, and did no little towards putting railroads into politics, situation highly undesirable from every moral and economic standpoint Indeed, the system approached a po- litical scandal in Alabama.
 The railroads are public service in stitutions which owe certain obliga- tions to the public. It is imperative that they confine their activities to the field of transportation and stay out of politics. The newspapers are public journals which owe the public certain obligations, notably that of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-07-23

keeping their records clean and their skirts clear of suspicion. The ex- change of advertising space for trans portation is an easy step towards the exchange of news matter and sven editorial expression for transports- ton privileges, if former situation that developed from such an arrange ment be taken as test. To keep the record straight and for both railroads and newspapers properly to perform their duties to the public, 1t were well that this bill be indefinitely post poned,

THE FIGHT AGAINST DIPPING

The dipping-vat destroyers are mak- ing a hopeless and useless battle against the inevitable. They are op posing three laws. The one is the law of man, which has been enacted by the states and the nation for the bet terment of the country through i'm provement of farming conditions and assets. They are attempting to deny the law of nature which rules that cattle cannot be both healthy and in fested with ticks. Where dipping has been systematically followed, the tick has disappeared, cattle have thrived and a beef and dairy cattle industry, lucrative in it's yield, has evolved.
 The third law which these men com bat is that of economies. Where the tick flourishes, there is poverty, there is a backward cattle industry and there is an obstacle to better cattle raising. The secretary of the Federal Land Bank at New Orleans has of ficially announced that the new h. termediate Credit Bank is not going to lend money in tick-infested terri tory. He says: "Diversification is considered by the land bank as an es- sential part of farming operations. In any scheme of diversification cat tie raising, especially the beef and dairy cattle industry, is looked upon as necessary. Where the cattle tick is allowed to flourish the most important factor in diversification is destroyed" The land banks will not lend money in tick-infested territory because that would be money wasted; thrown away on people who make no effort to help themselves, but who, while resisting progress on their own part, also hold back that of their neighbors.
 The warfare against the dipping vat is a one-sided affair, because, in the end, the three laws underlying it must and will rise supreme. In every sec tion there are enough of the progress sive to stand as a nucleus for the vim dication of the law and the support of sound and sensible economic prac- tices. Around this nucle<j the law entrenches itself and finally prevails.

FARMERS BUYING MACHINERY

Sales of agricultural machinery and trucks and wagons in the state of Ala bama have more than doubled those made.in the same period of 1922: In the case of some farming apparatus the sales have been several times what they were in 1922. This speaks vol umes for the change in the condition of the average Alabama farmer Those farm implements would not have been purchased in such an increased vol ume had not there been decided inn provement in the farmers condition. Doubtless some of the improvement may be traced to the development of the dairying industry, where the regu- lar cash income has had a most de- cided effect on the farmers affairs. Cooperative marketing has had much to do with it. So has cooperative purchase of fertilizers and other CO., operative efforts. The good price ob- tained for cotton last year has con- tributed to the increase of the far mer's spending ability. The larger buying of agricultural machinery is proof positive that there has been a lot of safe and sound farming in the state and reflects the injection of business into farming methods.
