BEGIN SEARCH FOR
 ANNALS OF ABRAHAM
Looking for Records of Men Who
 Lived 10000 Years Ago

London, April 20. American and British archaeologists engaged In ex- cavatlng the Tomb of the Moon God in the ancient city of UT of the Chal- dees have begun the search for the records of Abraham, says an airplane dispatch from the Bagdad correspond ent of the London Daily Mail The excavators, says the correspondent, hope to recover the worlds first and oldest library of original works on history, religion, art. law, science. and the narratives of the affairs of men 5000, and perhaps 10000, years ago. When tho work of the expedition is done, he adds, 1t may yield wholly new story of the inception of the re- ligious movement that prepared the world for Christianity. or it may cor roborate the story in Genesis.
 Development of Cities.
 Describing his visit to UT, the cor- respondent says that it is probably to this 5000 year old city that the world owes the development of cities, great irrigation schemes, gardens, wa ter supply, the use of lead and as- phalt, drainage and fortress building. Bricks" he writes, 'were made in UT earlier than in Egypt. Here the arch was invented and the vault sys- tematically. used in monumental structures, and it was in Mesopotamia thA the dome became prominent. Forty centuries before Christ Ur was a great city in the midst of cultiva- tion. Even now the line of silted-in canals can be seen stretching away to the far horizon.
 Land Has Been Deserted.
 For more than 2,500 years" the correspondent proceeds, since Darius and his Persian hordes swept over the land, Ur has been deserted ex- cept for Bedouins. That the ruins of Abraham are there is definitely known. Only tentative exploring shafts have been sunk here and there over the wide expanse, but each has yielded relics of a lost people, the Sumerians. It Is now known that after Abraham left Ur there came a long period of difficulties. The inn pending collapse of the dynastry was probably the reason for his departure.
 Tt has been discovered that after destroying the city the conquerors laid pavements over the principal buildings. The tablets, buried in the archives beneath each set of pave ments, tell the intimate stories of the daily lives of the kings and leaders merchants, property owners and slaves. Tablets found at Ur show that legal transactions, including mar riage contracts, sales and tenancies were witnessed by six persons. It is expected to find the record of prop erty sold by Abraham before leay. ing Ur.
 Would Find First Records.
 Records obtained so far show that the Sumerians were nearly ex tinct in Abrahams time, so that tho records are earlier than the Nippul collection. The intentions of thu American and British experts are tc excavate to the first record of occu pancy at Ur. Among the finds arc tiny leaves of gold which, according to the records, were set upon the lips of the dead; mannikin of three feet, clad in a sheep skin with tai hanging down. made of some hard green stone, and hoes and axes wrought in stone, which were placed on the altar of the Moon God as em. blems of industry"

GOVERNOR ASSAILS
 ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
Says They Lack Courage Of Their Convictions

2 Hartford. April 20.--Declaring the legislators did not have the courage of their convictions, but were like so many ants, at the capitol, following where they were led, Governor Charles A. Templeton at a civic club Luncheon at Hotel Bond today se- verely criticized members of the Con- necticut legislature for not voting as they themselves believed they should vote. He declared that the members of the legislature would sacrifice any- thing else to get half a mile of road way installed.
 Men came to my office and told me they were absolutely sure l was right in the stand I had taken on that last measure" (the Kent Hubbard bill) declared the governor, but they could not vote with me. Such men are towards and it is up to you men to tell these legislators what they should do. Ninety-nine per cent Of the members of the Legislature are honest and mean to do what is right but they get in the crowd and run around where they are led"
 Faith in his plan for a three-head- ed highway commission for the state of Connecticut as sane safeguard on the expenditure of the states money forthighway was reiterated by the governor. Although not yet as- sured that his plan for the manage ment of the state highway depart ment would be approved by the legis- lature the governor announced thai if it did prevail he would appoint on this commission Howard Whitmore of Naugatuck, Morgan Brainard oi Hartford with the third selection ye' to be made.
 The governor was very 'forceful 1T his discussion of the states bust ness," the subject he elected to have for his talk, and he made 1t plain ht had had enough of politics and politi cal influence in the carrying on of tho states business. He declared witt considerable emotion that never agair would he accept political office, moi even flor, the whole city of Washing ton," and revealed the pressure brought to bear on him was tremend' ous

LEARNING WHAT A COW
LOOKS LIKE

Recently in New York City it was
learned in the schools that thous-
ands of children had never seen a
live cow. Accordingly COW has
been added to the collection of ami
mails kept in Bronx Park so that the
children may learn Of the animal
that supplies their milk. 1t has
been proven that the COW is of as
much interest TO the New York
child as the elephant is to the
country child
In other words, city people are as
ignorant in their way as country
people are in theirs. The Trenton
Times is attempting in condo
seending way to give little rural
uplift' to the small towns surround
ming that city. In their edition Of

The ignoramus who wrote that
should look up the postal regula-

could easily learn that postmasters
in towns larger than "cross-roads'
have to give their undivided time
to their duties.

A BOISHEvIST DRIVE

r. NJ. Whitney, director of the
Washington City Bureau of the
American Defense Society, said
nothing especially new, but he said
something that is very true, when
he asserted that Moscow is directing
the amnesty drive" for ''poltieal
prisoners" about to be staged. And
he made shrewd and accurate
diagnosis that needs to be kept
carefully in mind when he remark
ed.
1.-THE amnesty seekers are shout
ing that those prisoners were con-
victed and are now being held for
the expression of opinion OF for
their belief in free speech. This is
absolutely untrue. They are being
held after conviction at fam trials
Cor violating the laws of the land

their power to defeat the United
States in time of war. TIL eeast of
Tense any of the prisoners was con-
victed of, was endeavoring to OBJ
struct the draft by spoken and writ

trenches We're in need of support
from every man, woman and child
in tn United States"
In othrr words, these so-called
"political prisoners" over which boil
shevist sympathizers, silly women
and gullible men are shedding tears,
We're guilty of treason; the most
heinous offense of which u person
can be guilty; and they deserve all
the punishment that has been melted
out to them and more. If they get
their freedom, the bolshevist agents
will Immediately rejoice, and what
is worse, take credit for what occurs
and gather the liberated felons to
their bosoms. These political pris-
oners" ought to remain just where
they are until they have served

WHY THEY ARE IN PRISON

No one is thrown into prison in
the United States for questioning
the capitalistic system of economics
or advocating, through appeal to
the ballot, its adjustment and the
substitution of communism or So
cialism. For thirty years the So
cialsts have been running their can
ddates for the presidency. At every
presidential election they cast sew
eral hundred thousand votes. They
polld nearly a million votes in 1920.
How many of that million are in
prison or have been in the slightest
danger of Imprisonment? 1t is only
when they go out and advocate rev.
olution by violence, or armed over
throw Of the government of the ma
jority and the setting up ora dicta-
torship of the proletariat,@ that fire
brand leaders find themselves in the
tolls of the law.-Spokane Spokes-

GIVING PREFERENCE TO
MOTHERHOOD

The women do not have the vote
in France. This is largely due to
the fact that the female population
there greatly outnumbers the males.
Many of the giddy and vacuous wo-
men of France are not worthy of the
ballot. But the majority of them
are noble, splendid women Chief
among these are the mothers.
In country where the birth rate
is as low as it is in France, an es-
pecial gratitude should be felt for
those women who disdain birth con-
troll and fulfill their womanly func-
tons. An attempt is being made to
this end by bill that has been in
troduced TO grant the vote to all
women who are, and have been
mothers. 1t is wise and commend
able thing.
Stephane Lausanne, aditor of lie
Matin," says, What makes the
nobleness and beauty of woman is
motherhood. The woman who gives
child to her country serves it as
usefully as the man who gives his
life for his country"
France ESPECIALLY Paris), is
overrun with women who have Tea
reers.' Their careers being
chiefly that of mistress to men who
havo r,o,.,, ,,opnX, tha,, n,o,.ale nf
course motherhood would ruin their
careers" New York City is mot
unlike Paris in this respect. Every
day you read in the newspapers the
accounts of such careers" when
they are exposed thru divorce
scandals and murder trials.
Many women, blinded by their
ambitions, are daily stumbling into
this quagmire. They are like star
gazers Hopping into mudholes. They
do not all end up in murder trials
and divorce scandals, but they end
up with beauty and charm gone, and
a barren existence facing them to
the end of their days. Their "ca-
reers" end up in their being "decad-
ent gentlewomen."
There is no alternative. When a
woman barriers her God-given pre-
negatives for cheap Career she
turns upon herself the flood gates of
the retributions of nature.
