Curious and arresting to the
imagination that three items
In the news of the modern
world, like three little arrows,
point to a race and a people
vanished IS centuries ago from
this North American conti-
nent; a race and a people who
were great before the Pyramids
were built; whose temples,
swallowed and strangled by
the jungles of Central America,
adorned great cities thousands
of years before the Sphinx
turned her cold and cryptic
smile upon the Egyptian plain.
An expedition departs to ex-
plore the ruined cities of the
Mayas in Guatemala and Hon
duras. Bare legged natives.
seeking in the jungles of
Yucatan the sapodilla tree,
from which commerce gets the
chicle from which chewing gum
is made, stumble upon one of
the greatest of these lost
cities, Calakmul. And scholars,
after hundreds of years, are
learning to read the heiro-
gliphics. the stone writings, of
the great Mayan race. piercing
the veil of the oldest story of
mankind.
Mighty Race
Nobody knows from whence
they came, those Mayas, in the
long. long ago. Some think
they crossed over a land bridge
from the lost continent of
Atlanta, the continent which
lies at the bottom of the sea
between Europe and Central
America. There is a Intel of
carved hardwood above the
great doorway of a palace of
what was the Mayan city of
Tikal, and on that Intel is the
date of the arrival of the
Mayas in America, 1902 years
before Christ.
When Christ was born they
were a mighty race. Their
cities spread from Costa Rica
to Peten. They had artists
and artisans, mathematicians
and astronomers, priests and
kings. Out of the tangled
jungle have been dug great
ball courts with wells 40 feet
high, where they played a game
like basketball. -. ~.
Their calendar was so accu-
rate that it identified any day
within a quarter of a million
years. It was Is centuries be-
fore white men matched that
knowledge of the march of the
stars.
Nobody knows how many
thousand years they fought the
jungle. There is only the dead
stone record of their defeat.
The jungle waited till the race
grew old and then closed in,
cnoKlng their farms, starving
their cities, driving them
through slow centuries to the
arid plains of Yucatan, where
they dwindled and utterly van
iShed.
They had no horses. The
wheel was not known to them.
Yet they built vast temples of
quarried stone, of blocks weigh
ing 200 tons. There was no
such Stons within a hundred
miles of these incredible pal
aces and amazing temples. How
did they transport such stones
anC raise them into place?
They must have known more
of the laws of nature than
man knows today.
They built thirty great cities.

The turn of the year finds the American people with
their faces to the 'front.' marching steadily and strongly
along the pathway to economic security.
For long years the march was halted and the rout
seemed complete
But today as 1884 dawns the light Of victory is begin
ming to shine
The adverse tide has been turned turned in the last
few months of the old year.
Now we're going forward once more, toward eco
nomc peace toward security toward wise enjoyment
of the abundant blessings of our great land
It may be slow march. There may be diversions
and excursions off the main path.
But with our renewed determination it will be sure
march and one which will shortly lead us to our goal

leadership in high places.
It that leadership reach down to the most humble
home and there start the reform which has spread over
the country.
We look to the new year.
The tremendous gains which made in the latter
part of 1888 will be cemented in 1884

Prompted by the feeling to bestow
flowers while they may be adequately
appreciated, am writing you this let
ter to commend you upon the highly
noteworthy manner that you are pre-
senting the news in the Twin City
Herald. Your editorials are pungent
and stimulating; the editorial column
provocative of much serious thinking
along the line of questions gravely
confronting our group.
Incited by your editorial of March
10, 1884, under the caption "Help Os-
car DePriest Protect Your Rights" 1
presented the matter of discrimination
in capital restaurants and the fight
being waged by Congressman De-
Priest to a class in Inter-race Rela-
tons, which 1 have been conducting
at the st. Paul Community Training
School in the House of Hope Church
on Monday evenings. AS a matter of
fact, I read your editorial, in full, to
the class. You will be gratified to
learn that the group, consisting of
some thirty-five students of the white
race coming from various parts of the
city of st. Paul, responded to the ex-
tent that, voluntarily, they requested
permission to bring suitable resolu-
lions addressed to the Minnesota Con-
gresham, as you suggested. They are

DIR. MOUJNCE ON BUTTING
By Frank Sullivan

DR.. Jethro Mounce, the adage
tester, has had busy and
fruitful summer. He spent
July at his summer laboratory
in the Catskills working on his
But experiments. For some
time DR.. Mounce has been in
terested in what he terms the
But people, or Buffers.
There are many types of
Buffers, one of the most COM
mon being the person who, in
giving advice to another. says,
Il don't want to stand in the
way of your happiness but. g"
Another common type is the
person who says, I'D be the
last person in the world to say
a word against her, but.
DR.. Mounce was pretty sure
that the great majority OF the
first class were, as a matter OF
cold fact, strongly DESTROYS of
standing in the way of the
happiness of those they were
advising.
Determined to prove or dis
prove his theory scientifically,
DR.. Mounce sent a thousand
picked observers to as many
representative cities, towns and
hamlets throughout the United
States with instructions to OBJ
serve carefully 500 Buffers in
each of the two above classes
and report on what happened.
Last week the last agent re-
ported, and the result is chat
DR.. Mounce has once again
made a noteworthy contribution
to science and the common
good. OF the 500 Buffers be-
longing to the Don't-want-to-
stand-in-the-way of -happine S.
BUT school 489 were caught
redhanded within a week after
making the remark, standing
directly in the way of the hap
piness of the person to whom
the remark was addressed, or
the Buttee, as he is called.
X X X
This practice of Butting, in
the opinion of DR.. Mounce, con-
StitIlteS an inSidiOuS and grow
ing menace which must be
dealt with promptly and firmly.
Mild measures are not Suffi-
Gent to cope with the con-
firmed Butter, thinks DR..
Mounce.
The plan DR.. Mounce has de-
vised for coping with Buffers
is simply this: Whenever any

gress, will be among the missing
when Congress conveneS.
Somewhat hard of hearing,
Cochran managed to hear those
things which interested him,
and was a parliamentarian of
no mean ability, which served
him we'll when he fought for
years to get a better brew in
these United States.
By way of diUerSion, he often
placed his rotundity in a boat
on the riUer or bay for bit OF
fishing, and last gear caught a
5O-pound bonita on the CheSd-
pedke to be a runnerup for the
record on that fish in those
