(Official City, State and County Newspaper) nH - cy J WE COME FROM AKSHAK The site of the oldest city of the world has been discovered in the valley of the Tigris river by a party of scientists representing the University of Michigan and the Toledo Museum of Art. Buried beneath the rubble of forgotten succeeding cities the explorers found the foundation stones of the city of Akshak, which was old before the pyramids were built and before Nineveh or Ur of the Chaldees had been laid out. The city passed out of existence long, long ago; the Roman emperor Trajan sacked it in the first century A. D., and it has been a wind-blown, sand-covered rubbish heap ever since. There is somethting fascinating about the discovery of the ruins of ancient cities. The race wasn’t very far from savagery when this old city was built. Human beings were sacrificed on blood-stained altars in the temples. The wisest men in the world believed the future could be foretold by looking in the entrails of animals; and were convinced that they could control the weather by performing strange rites with decorated sticks and colored pebbles. Nobody had ever doubted that might made right. The high water mark of civilization was represented in a mud palace where a half naked king impaled people he didn’t like. If a disinterested, civilized observer—the familiar) man from Mars, for instance—could have visited that city then, he surely would have concluded that human beings never would rise more, than two or three degrees above the level of animals. Yet, in that barbaric city, were hidden the germs of all our progress. The city itself passed away, consumed by time and by the trampling soldiers of Trajan’s legions. The people that inhabitated it went to graves that do not now exist, and the very memory of the place dis- appeared. Yet something survived. Something—an impulse, a subconscious aspiration, a veiled desire— proved immortal. Through long cehturies of darkness, warfare, suffering and defeat, humanity nourished that spark. It glowed and became a flame, and now and PEREOTERRPSLOT ERTS AP RETEST NSS LAGE TY agai “smai state hasn smi pro! m = Nort of tl state direc vent anni | Editorial Comment THE have @ bit too much energy. All of our prises go to the men who can travel the fastest. The “tired busi- ness man” is a type; indeed, we rather take it for granted that a man who is not constantly tired from overwork is not quite up to snuff. All of this is very fine, in a way. We are growing great and prosperous. Our exports go tu every part of the world. New factories, skyscrapers, bridges, ea are heing built everywhere. One person in ‘ive owns an automobile. And so on. But life isn’t a matter of bread alone. The nose that is kept too close to the grindstone can never detect the fine savor of an October wind. Tall buildings, however decorative, can shut us out from any glimpse of distant horizons. It is too easy to lose sight of our divinity in a tangle of crowded streets. October is the antidote. Its countrysides contain a dreaming peace that we need more than we need any- thing else. It, would be a great month for a vacation —a vacation in-which a man could cut loose from the iron standards of a machine age and get back to a realization of the simple, all-pervading beauty and serenity that are his rightful heritage. TO ANALYZE LAW The Institute for the Study of Law now being or- ganized at the Johns Hopkins University has lying before it a broad ld in which to work and a tre- mendous opportunity to perform an important service to civilization. The purpose of the institute will be not to train men and women for the practice of law but to give to the world a new profession whose job will be finding out what is wrong with the law and how to correct it. Nothing yields so powerful an/influence upon the spiritual, economical and political life of people as does law, and yet no department of human knowledge is so confused, so overwhelmed by uncertainties. New conditions continually arise which drive law-making bodies to frenzied enactment of measures for the most part experimental for the reason that there ig no well defined philosophy to guide them. Courts are multi- plied and semi-judicial bodies are set up to struggle with the mere mathematical phase of the situation, the increased number of cases requiring adjudication. The real need is not more laws and more judges, but 2 clarification of the basic principles of law, new def- injtions of tthe aims and* purposes of law, to which lawmakers may conform and which may largely take the place of the wild confusion of conflicting precedents in judicial determination. If the new institute of Jaw can do anything to bring order out of chaos it will prove an untold blessing. Certainly the attempt is warranted by conditions. KING HIS OWN MESSENGER ‘ (Manchester Guardian) Whoever may be chosen to succeed to the throne of Cantebury, it may be taken as certain that news of his elevation will reach him in very ifferent fashion from that in which the momentous tidings came to Dr, Manners Sutton in 1805. One January evening Sutton was giving a dinner party at his deanery at Windsor when a visitor was announced who insisted upon seeing him immediately. Sutton, in no very amiable mood, went into the hall, to find George III, standing there. “How d’ye do. How d’ye do?” said the king gen- ially. “Come to let you know you're archbishop of Canterbury—archbishop of Canterbury. D’ye accept? D’ye accept? Eh?” The astonished dean could only bow in token of acceptance. “All right,” said the king. “See you've got a party. then—at Athens, in Judea, at Rome—it burned with a light to make all of mankind’s pathway brighter. Incomprehensibly, the race made progress. Today the forgotten ruined city of Ashak stands like a mile-| stone, incredibly far back on the long road from dark- ness. We were there, once, in the dim morning of history. Today our curious scientists poke among the rubbish with spade and pick. We have left it many leagues behind us. But we must never forget that we once were there. the doubters and pessimists of the world. EVERYONE CAN HELP The Republican national committee is experimenting mea with a new method in raising large campaign funds. It has been tried before but never on so large a scalc and never to the exclusion of other and older money- raising schemes. Small contributions are being solicited from the rank Go back to your guests.” And he departed, chuckling at having forestalled Pitt, who rode posthaste to Windsor next morning to rie dy another nominee for the office, only to find it filled. SPARE US OUR ILLUSIONS (Baltimore Sun) After years of politely thumbing his nose at invita- tions to visit America, George Bernard Shaw at last relented and will arrive in our midst some time next year. At least so announces one Robert Fair- banks, brother of Douglas Fairbanks, the cinema hero; and he states further that the distinguished author and dramatist will be the guest of the Fairbanks at their home in Hollywood. If Mr. Fairbanks is not talking through his hat, and there is no reason to think he is, one may well wonder what has happened to the usually inflexible Shavian mind. While Mr. Shaw has always condescended to ac- cept fat royalties on his books and plays from this fat land, he has also made it plain that his curiosity about the way we move and have our being was not suffi- ciently acute to cause him to cross the ocean and and file of Reublicans, and large gifts from individuals and organizations which might have reason for seek- ing governmental favors are being discouraged. One million small contributions, starting with $1, will finance the campaign, the committee believes. A party going into power with the aid of small Aeey TYG The Republican national committee is showing the People 2 way to discourage the conditions which en- couraged and made possible the oil lease affair. No political organization prefers a few large contributions to many small gifts, if the totals balance. Large campaign funds and large contributions are the source of evil in politics and in public administra- tion. Recognizing this, the Republican party in this campaign will 1p its fund and contributions within safe and reasonable limits. _ Herbert Hoover has endorsed the plan and appealed _ to all persons interested in the party and supporting “ita platform to assist the committee in this work. There ‘aust be a better showing than in the Coolidge cam- -paign when only 90,600 contributions were received. OCTOBER'S LAZY GHOSTS If we Americans were half as smart as we pretend, ‘we would arrange matters so that we could get our vacations in October. The average vacation comes when the weather is hot. The seeker of rest and relaxation misses both| objectives; he follows the ancient American custom of dashing about at top speed, gets jostled by crowds, mingle. Is it possible, unhappy thought! that Mr. Shaw is being worn away with age and that he has given up the hope of preserving the majesty of a rigid mentalitiy in his twilight years of decay? ile we as much as anyone would like to have a look at Mr. Shaw in the flesh, our advice to him is to stay at home. Distance lends enchantment, and since Mr. Shaw has built a mammoth reputation for himself, as he has said, on the principle of dogmatic reiteration, he should leave it where it is. We are sometimes an impudent people and it is possible he may be tricked ae leaving us a ridiculous rather than a dignified LORD HALDANE'S DEMOCRACY BISMARCK TRIRUNE By RODNEY DUTCHER a (NEA Service Writer) \ three grandchildren. Washington, Oct. 9.—Everyonej pied would be a glutton for punishment if it were always meted out in the manner in which the Navy Depart- ment has treated Reaf Admiral Thomas Pickett Magruder. i Admiral Magruder, readers with exceptionally long memories will recall, was the veteran naval fighter who, while commander of Philadel- phia Navy Yard, was reckless enough to suggest that the navy could stand a few minor improvements. Among other. things, he made the heinous and unforgivable suggestion that it had too thany admirals. After that, the admirals who run the navy col- laborated enthusiastically with Sec- retary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur in deciding that something ought to be done about Magruder. So the admiral was punished. He was punished with a perfectly beautiful vacation which began November 5, 1927, which continues to this day and which may, for all one can learn from Wilbur, continue | until the admiral reaches retirement age, three years and a half hence. cipline an official \charge.

As the disease progresses, isa faulty metabolism of sugar which appears in excessive quantities in the blood and urine, giving a peculiar ether-like sweetish odor to the breath and to the urine. As the disease progresses, the pa- ‘ient may have to void several times the normal quantity of urine which constantly maintains a large amot of sugar. There is a mild form where the withdrawal of carbohy- drates causes a disappearance of the sugar, but in the severe type even complete fasting causes no appre- ciable change. Apparently, the tis- sues of the body break down to fur- nish the sugar which is discharged. Diabetes, contrary to popular be- lief, is not necessarily a disease of sible that the kidneys in many cases actually save the life of the sufferer by removing the excessive quantities Re ee that are present in the ‘ Diabetes is supposed to be caused by a disease of the pancreas that interferes with the manufacture of the pancreatic secretion which in- fluences the action of the liver upon sugar.

Rich in mental endowment beyond almost any other man of his day, able to converse and contend with Philosophers and scientists of all times from Democ- ritus to Einstein, he yet gave his thought to those whose days were spent in manual labor that they might not be shut away from that freedom which can come only from intelligence and which in turn must depend for its efficacy to some extent upon knowledge. For “intelligence is not merely the gift of unaided nature.” Viscount Haldane was long the foremost protagonist of adult education for those who cannot leave their labors to spend years within university walls. He knocked at the gates of the universities and got them to send some of their best teachers to communities outside. His persuasive voice drew grants in aid from Parliament and the Board of Education. He was heard all over England in his appeal to the workingmen to make the most of their larger leisure. Manual labor, he kept saying, was no barrier to man’s reflective and creative force. He would tell of one great philosopher who was a shoemaker; of another, Spinoza, who earned @ precarious livelihood by polishing optical glasses; of John Bunyan, who earned his livelihood as a tinker. and of Einstein, who was a clerk in the Patent Office in Switzerland when he began his discoveries, He had come across miners who were students of Schopenhauer and artisans who read Plato.
