The Monte Alban Exhibit.

Washingtonians this week are having
the opportunity to see for themselves
Q demonstration Of the caliber of the
ancient civilization of Mexico. The
famous Monte Alban jewels, discovered
last year, are being shown at the Pan
American Union Building. They are
works OF authentic genius, rejecting a
sympathetic love of beauty, rich mag
inative power, patience and q skill not
excelled by modern designers. Mute
witnesses, they testify to one of the
major tragedies Of history.
The people to whom these treasures
belonged were not only robbed and
murdered by the ConqMstadores. It was
their fate also to be traduced and SIAN
dered by them. The motive Of the
crime may have been that of apology.
The fact is that propaganda Of mis-
representation was circulated through
out Europe. The Indians were pictured
g treacherous savages. Their culture
was indicted as an abonination. Their
religion was described as demono1ogy.
Their government was pnloried as q
vicious tyranny. The world was taught
to believe that the benign invaders had
been providentiAlly commissioned to
terminate practices Of human sacrifice
and cannibalism.

duced the lie until 1t was universally
accepted. Only within the past decade
has reason begun to penetrate the
darkness Of the falsehood. But as the
light increases and new discoveries are
made and studied. a truer conception
of the character of the Mexico Of the
sixteenth century is bound to be re-
vealed. Monte Alban is but one OF
hundreds Of buried sites Of Indian cul-
ture. The work Of excavating the
others will require at least a genera
ton. But slowly there should become
available q wealth Of precious mate
rials for an accurate evaluation OF
the Mexican race. Then 1t will be
seen that none but q peaceable, refined,
orderly and measurably happy people
could have raised such monuments as
those of Militia and Cholula, Chichen
Itza and Uxmal, Palenque and Copan
The Mexican government deserves q
vote of gratitude for its resurrection
OF the national past. 1t Is to be con-
graduated upon Its policy OF scientific
exploration and recovery. With field
as potentially rich in many respects as
the valley Of the Nile, 1t follows that
its rewards should be abundantly
satisfying.

Two ObjectiveA.
From the New York Sun


In a foreword to the Forthcoming re-
port OF the study which Raymond Eos
dick and Albert L. Scott have made of
liquor control In the United States,
Canada and Europe, John D. Rocke-
feller, jr, suggests two immediate OBJ
jectives for advocates Of temperance:
Rightly, the first objective Is the
abolition Of lAwlesmess. Any proRrau
offered in lieu Of the eighteenth amend
ment must make that its chief aim, even
if-and ! weight carefully what I say
the immediate result Is temporarily
away from temperance.
THE second objective is the focusing
Of all the forces Of society upon the de-
velopment Of self-control and temper
ance as regards the use Of alcoholic
Of temperance In individuals, to take
up the slow march Of education-this
Is the real and fundamental approach
to the problem Of alcohol"
Such q statement comes with added
force from one who, like Mr.. Rocke-
feller, is not only Q total abstainer.
but who, until recently, also believed IN
the eighteenth amendment. A little
evil Of . Nationwide disregard for law
He believes, a. do . majority Of his
fellow Americans, that law must IL
ways be the articulays organ Of The
desires Of living men" OF that belief
Is Of the lessons taught both By the
era Of national prohibition and The
longer period Of Temperance education
the program to be offered in Lieu Of
the eighteenth amendment must be
compounded.

Debt Discussions 60 On.

President Roosevelt and the British
debt negotiators who have been In
Washington for the better part Of q
month evidently believe that while
there is talk there is hope. At any
rate, as the result Of q call at the
White House on Wednesday by Sir
Frederick Ieith-Ross OF the British
treasury and Ambassador Lindsay. 1t
was ofacially announced by the Presi-
dents secretary that "the debt Discus
sions will be continued"
This is q gratifying, II wholly indefi-
mite, prospect. OF no less significance,
especially at this moment, Is the rea-
son supposedly underlying the decision
to prolong the debt conversations. Al
though the White House communique
specifically states that the administra-
tion's new sold-purchasing plans did
not figure in the Presidents talk with
his British visitors, there seems every
reason to believe that the United States
intention to refrain from any action
that could be provocative Of currency

ain to prolong the debt parley in
Washington. Otherwise there was
danger that Sir Frederick Leith-Ross

intelligence and a reasonable knowledge

1t is not SO much that the automobile
In itself, is dead and mechanical
thing, utterly without life or will Of its
own.

an instrument of human will.

would not be discourteous with a door

would find it expedient to SO handle q

No persons lament this effect Of the
automobile more than some motor car
drivers.
They recognize the inimical effects
deriving from the placing of so much
power in the hands of persons at large.
1t is well known effect; the automo-
bile just permits 1t to show itself more
easily
Tartars and other wild horsemen, It
is said, delighted in riding down plain
citizens at country fairs If the pumpkins
would not get out of the way.
Put a human being in some situation
where he senses the physical advantage
he possesses over those who are not In
that position, Immediately he is sorely
tempted to seize the advantages and
operate them to the ultimate degree.
A great many people manage to over
come that temptation, some so easily
that they do not recognize that it exists
at all.
These are the persons, no doubt, who
stop their cars and motion for pedes-
trians to cross
The latter, so accustomed to the op-
Poslte sort Of treatment, often are un.
willing to believe in their good fortune.
There must be a joke in it some
where!
One has been caught by the wight
with sad sense of humor. who mo-
tions for one to cross over, only to start
his car forward suddenly before one
has time to do 1t.
Perhaps he is the cousin to the two
legged animal which suddenly races the
engine as the pedestrians attempt to
cross on the green light
He does not start, owing to the red
light, but thinks he will have a little
fun with the pedestrians by half scar
ing them out of their wits.

tenn seemingly unnoticed, when their

they are thus privileged as a reward for

Automobile bad manners are but an
acute manifestation OF q general prob
lem.
There are Just as many roughnecks
afoot, only they do not have the op-
portunity to show themselves up Is
easily. or In quite such an obnoxious
form.
Very few persons are willing to try
running over another afoot.
And If one does happen to bump into
you, there are few 80 lost to good man
ners that they will not make some sort
OF an apology. or attempt at one.
One OF the most comic happenings In
the everyday life is the involuntary
bobbing back and forth which two per-
sons make when each is trying to pass
around the other.
Usually both parties smile broadly:
then one stands still while the other is
permitted to walk by.
The theory Of automobile bad man
nerS. OF course: Is easy enough. The
main product Of the motor car, the aim
and end, is speed. There has been .
great deal OF talk about transportation,
but speed Is the real thing. And speed
means rnaa &c, out OF very necessity, ruthless
lnere was q great disposition on the
par part aoa of every tS no one for many years to
to place all the blame for accidents,
resulting In manning and death, upon
s 1aeF on s 1 shs
course
Careful motorists are coming to be-
lieve more and more that perhaps the
careful pedestrians were right, when
they said that speed was the prime
cause of the trouble.
1t is mostly a problem Of physics.
AT such and such a speed, with such
and such brakes, a car may be stopped
within certain distance.
As the speed Of the vehicle Is in
creased, the distance at which 1t NAV
stop Is increased, too.
A Dig bus poked Its nose around q
speed.
A pedestrian thinking about some
thing else suddenly walked out between
two parked cars.
1t was the old situation, and the old
careleSSneSS.
Air brakes undoubtedly saved that
man from injury or worse. The greater
truth, however, was that II the bus had
been going even SO little as S miles an
hour faster it would have struck the
pedestrian. The car would have
Travelled Just enough farther to have
struck him.
In this instance the speed, the brakes
and the man conceded to q happy end
Ing. The pedestrian got the breaks"
as they say In base ball.
Perhaps he cursed the driver, in his
fright, maybe that worthy swore at
"jaywalkers" beneath his breath. The
pedestrian and the driver no doubt gave
credit to the brakes
Lack Of speed, however, really de-
served the credit It was Q certain
speed alone which permitted the bus
driver to work his brakes 20 that the
vehicle could be stopped Just Is 1t was,
not few feet, or even one foot far
ther on
This Is Q theory Of accident which,
while not yet popular, Is receiving an
increasing number OF converts yearly.
We were surprised recently, in talking
to several rabid motorists, to flnd that
they more or less agreed with these
theories. The automobile Is too fine an
instrument Of mankind to permit 1t to
continue its present record as manner
and killer. The laws Of physics, not nu-
man laws. really control these things.
