Dead or Alive?

Looking back to the rccons;ruo-
ion era following the Civil War. one
remembers that the khan came into
ex.stance. IL was the instrument that
kept alive the FIRE and dash OF delca.-
ed southern people and that. perhaps.
prevented domination by a race that
had so recently acquired liberty.
To-Day the Democratic party is face
to face with its own creation. For
the Democratic party OF the south is
the father OF the khan. Not the same
khan. mind you. but the same methods.
the same source. and the descendants
OF the same people.
Just how serious the injection OF :
religious issue into the councils OF
the Democratic party may be can only
be shown by time But i'll feeling and
misunderstanding based upon religion
are not easy steps TO surmouut, not
sore spots that are easily cured. Al
ready, Democrats are willing to con
cede that whatever chance the party
possessed o win the national election
this fall has gone glimmering be-
cause of the deadlock at New Yorl
and the bitterness which arose there
over the Khan issue.
Evere since Roosevelts Bull Moose
party flared across the heavens. ;
third and progressive party has beer
struggling for cxistance. Many acute
political students long ago concluded
that sectionaism. the final effect OF
the Civil War. prevented amalgaiior
OF the Democratic and Republican
parties. Hcredity alone made the
Democratic party possible. So far a
distinctions. they are few today so
far as Democracy and Republicanism
are concerned. The tariff is no longer |
an issue. The league is dead but on
OF it has grown feeling that Ameri-
can participation in world affairs is
essential That feeling is shared by |
Republicans and Democrats alike
Perhaps he day OF a new split in
Amcri IN politics IS at hand. Per
haps we may shortly see a conserva-
tive and a liberal alignment. For
this is a two government Third
parties cannot long live.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Wright Explains
Cigarette Story

Editor Tribune-Mrs. Isaac Roberts
seems to miss the sentiment expressed
in my letter to George. II there is
habit that violates the mind and
body OF 4 growing boy its the Gig
arctic habit The medical fraternity
have given ample warning OF the fact.
When the indulgent mother finds
her boy smoking a cigarette she would
do him an everlasting favor by apply
ing vigorously her slipper upon that
part of his anatomy where it would
do the most good.
We had large and hard struggle
to Danish that school OF vice for young
men. called the saloon. from our coun-
try and this cigarette habit ought to
follow in its make. It's worse than
the vice with which compared it
because it begins earlier in life and
never ends.
Yours Truly

fact that President Coolidge observed
his birthday anniversary July Fourth

Washington, August 5.-Discovery
of the reputed throne of the emper.
ors and priests of Chichen liza, civil
and religious center of the Maya, ar
aboriginal civilization that extended
through Yucatan and Guatemala, and
the unearthing of another court
where the god of chance reigned, has
just been reported by the staff Of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
engaged in excavating ruins in that
region.
Tlachtli was the name they called
the game akin to modern basketball
and which they played in the cen
fury before Christ.
DR.. Sylyanus G. Morley, Associated
in Middle American Archaeology
with DR.. Earl H. Morris. is engaged
in the institutions program for ex-
cavation of the ancient Maya metro
polls.
The Tlachtli court was composed OF
two high parallel walls, from so to
100 feet apart. A stone ring, par
allel to the wall and at right angles
to the floor, jutted out, near the tor
Of either wall. Through this ring
the contending sportsmen sought to
put a rubber ball by bouncing it
from either wrist, elbow or hip.
In the heat Of the sport, the an.
cient gamblers were wont to wager
their liberty, accepting slavedom il
they lost, says DIR. Morley's account
The ownership of vast estates hung
on the outcome of the games. Quilts
filled with gold dust or trinkets Of
intrinsic value were the more com.

The ancient throne, recently
brought to light, is likewise describ:

thirteen feet wide, seven feet deer

In Burma there are large lumber
mills, and elephants are used for
rolling the logs into position for
the saws. an exchange says. Push.
ing with their heads, they run the
logs up two inclined skids to the
platform two elephants do the
pushing and third elephant acts
as boss. In his trunk the boss
carries a few links Of anchor chain
which he uses as whip If one ele.
plant falls behind.
When the whistle blows they all
know that it is time to stop work
and eat. 1t makes no difference
whether they have a log within a
fraction Of an inch Of the platform
the boss drops his anchor chain
and gets out Of the way, and the
pushers step to one side and let the
log crash.

Buckskin

Buckskin. from which gloves are
made, for the most part comes from
Mexico and Brazil. The skins are
usually smaller than those Of sheep.
and seldom perfect, because of the
wounds or thorn scratches. The
latter do not weaken the gloves,
however, and, in fact. a visible
scratch is pretty good proof that a
glove is genuine buckskin. The
leather is dressed in oil and the
color is obtained with colored clay

coloring, every buckskin glove will

Chicago Produce Market

Chicago, April 10.
Wheat and corn scored something of
an advance IN price today, chiefly as a
result of late buying in which one of
the larger houses took the lead. The
buying movement was apparently due
more or less to indications that SELL
ing had been overdone. Wheat closed
firm. a shade to &c net higher, May
1.01s to 1.02 and July 1.03t to 1.03s,
with corn to &c up. oats showing
to &c gain and provisions varying from
unchanged figures to so &c decline.
At first the wheat market was con-
siderably influenced by the government
crop report and was forced down under
1.01 bushel, May delivery within a
fraction of the lowest level so far this
season. Sellers contended that the gov
eminent report If figured on the basis
of the final par yield would suggest
production of 100000 bushels more
than the official estimate. On the de-
cline in prices. however, talk became
current that weakening factors had
perhaps been well discounted and that
a chance for some investment purchas-
ing was open.
Gossip that rehabilitation of German
finances would ultimately have slim
ulating effect on commodity markets
was given rather increased notice to-
day among wheat traders. During the
late dealings a little attention was
also fixed on Indiana and Illinois re-
ports pointing to heavier losses in
acreage than has heretofore appeared
likely.
Reports of a better demand for corn
at Omaha helped turn the corn mar
ket upward. There were predictions,
too. that demand here would improve
with the opening of lake traffic. The
oats market was stimulated by word of
enlarged inquiry northwest.
Provisions were without any decided
support.
