Recent Finds Confute
Biblical Exodus Date

Recent finds Of pottery by an ex-
petition Into southern Transjordan
places the date OF the exodus of the
israelites from Egypt In the Thlr-
teenth century B. c., instead of the
Fifteenth. as has previously been held
by many Bible students, according To
Prof. Nelson Gluek, head of the expe-
dltion and professor of Bible at He
brew Union college In Cincinnati.
The discoveries show that the Edom-
ties and the Moabltes did not become
established In southern Transjordan
until the Thirteenth century B. C. and
therefore could not possibly have re-
fused the Israelites passage through
their countries. as stated In the Bible.

rich deposits of copper and iron ore

sources OF the vast wealth OF King
Solomon. A copper mine was dIscov-

SIR Buckston Browne, the great
surgeon. speaking at the annual din

be given Into the hands of a joint
council of doctors and lawyers, says
cable from London.
He said that he looked forward to
time when the medical profession
should have the power of sentencing
to death those who are not fit to live,
either from disease or crime, and of
granting permits to the old and

Wasted Time, Anyway

the Australian cotton manufacturers
are seeking to establish wholly un-
economic industry behind an insur-
mountable tariff wall. The raw cot
ton is to be homegrown In Queens
land by means Of a government. sub
sidy and the manufacturer Is TO be
protected by a tariff that will keep
out all comers, including British. The
industry, it Is admitted, will have to
pay something like three times the
world price for its homegrown raw
cotton. Its costs Of production are
stated by spinners to be three times
as great as Lancashire's and the cost
OF erecting machinery at least double.
This spoon-feeding of q practically
non-existent industry is denounced
by the Manchester Guardian as a fla
grant evasion of the Ottawa agreement.
The low tariff critics of the scheme
In Australia declare that the cotton
industry Gin Australia) from first to
last Is an unnatural one" and that
Australia would be far better OF if
all her requirements in this respect
were imported" It is pointed out here
that If the cotton trade with Austria
liza can be thus strangled no industry
Is safe and that these breaches Of the
Ottawa covenant are going on while
Australia is enjoying preference for
her exports in the British market over
excellent customers like the Argen-
tine.
- -
will be remains to be seen; but it is
extraordinarily unwise Of Australia
to force this issue at time when
the agricultural industry in England
is groaning under the fierce competi-
ton of the Australian farmers, often
subsidized by bounties levied on the
Australian consumer. Commodities
like Australian butter can be bought
In London far cheaper than in Mel
bourne and the resentment which Is
growing up in farming circles against
what Is regarded as the unfair COM
petition Of the dominions Is bringing
conflict with the dominions depart
ment.
If to this cause Of dissatisfaction
is to be added policy Of shutting out
British manufacturers from the Aus
tralian market the commonwealth
must look out for trouble. The action
Of the Lancashire grocers is not, of
course, approved in responsible circles,
but it is symptomatic of the temper
which is rising against what Is re-
garded as the exploitation Of the
mother country by the dominions. II
Australia Is determined to put on pro-
hibitive duties against Lancashire she
cannot expect to be permitted to en-
joy a preference in the British mar
ket for her agriculture. Blood may
be thicker than water, but 1t Is not 10
thick as all that.

National Committeeman.

Vice President Garner is suggested
for the post of Democratic national
committeeman from Texas, his home
State. Former Gov. James A. Fergu-
son, who was elected national COM
mitteeman by the Ferguson-controlled
State Committee several months ago,
made the proposal to the Vice Presi-
dent "for the sake of harmony" he
said. And Mr.. Garner indicated that
he would accept If the party wanted
him to be its representative on the
National Committee.
No Vice President Of the United
States, so far as the records reveal,
has ever been a member of the Ma
tional Committee of the political party
with which he was affihated. But
that is no real reason why Mr.. Garner
should not take the post If the State
Democratic convention and the State
Committee desire him to do so. 1t
is no secret that Mr.. Garner is q
Democrat or that he desires to pro-
mote the interests Of the Democratic

Many centuries ago a great teacher
asked the question: Prom whence
come wars and fightings among you?"
He answered it by saying, Come they
not hence even Of your lusts that war
in your members?" He was attacking
the cause of war at its source. He
was attempting to make clear that the
genesis of all strife and struggle, of
whatever sort or kind, is to be found
in lives that have no understanding
or perception of moral and spiritual
values.
In these latter years we have talked
much about world peace" 1t has
been favorite theme of speakers and
statesmen. Within the past 10 years
sincere efforts have been put forth to
effect, through pacts and agreements,
a better understanding between ma
tions and peoples. OF all these the
most notable is the so-called Kellogg
BRAND pact" In this notable docu-
ment an attempt was made to out
law war and to guarantee through
conference and arbitration the peace
full settlement Of international diff
ferences. Within our own country,
supreme efforts have been made to
bring about q better understanding,
especially between capital and labor,
and 1t is safe to say that these efforts
have been measurably successful.
Wherever sane, high-minded men
have had to do with these difficulties,
amicable adjustments have been ef-
fected. Greater progress has been
made along these lines in the past
decade than at any period in our
history, but notwithstanding this
progress we still have a long way to
go before we shall attain the ideal
we seek. We have been made familiar
with situations in certain industries
where such a fine spirit is disclosed
on the part of both labor and capital
that strikes are unknown and har-
mony and continued peace mark their
operation. 1t is demonstration of
the value of q spirit of generosity
manifested on both sides and of a
sincere endeavor to maintain without
interruption an orderly and consistent
course.
Whether we are considering the
larger question Of world peace or the
matter Of peace within our own con-
fines, 1t is clearly evident that the
genesis of all strife is directly trace
able to that which the prophet of old
called the 'lusts that war in our mem

conduct Perhaps in many cases it
works out that way, and the bene-
f1ciaries Of the parole honestly and
sincerely try to redeem themselves,
but the frequent recurrence Of cases
of violated parole shakes faith in the
efficacy and the wisdom of this mea-
sure Of mercy.
In this particular case Just reported
from Indiana there had already been
one violation of parole, and yet an
other has been granted. What assur-
ance can there possibly be Of lawful
living hereafter? If the parole law
of Indiana permits such a grant in
the light of a bad record both in and
out of prison surely its terms need
revision.
There can be no sense of security
when the parole system is SO abused.
The prisons themselves are the scenes
of constant INSTRUMENTATION and
escape plots, some of which succeed,
some failing with loss Of life. Wide
latitude in observance of the rules Of
restraint, the provision of entertain
ment, the slackness of guardianship
and, lamentably, the incompetence If
not the dishonesty Of guards con-
tribute to state of Generalization in
many of the institutions of detention,
with the result of frequent riots, es-
capes and subsequent tragedies and
crimes. The whole penal system in
vogue in this country, with all its
variations in different States, must
be remodeled to the end Of the surer
keeping Of those who have been found
guilty of grave crimes and the denial
of liberties and paroles to those who
are chronic lawbreakers.
