“A Strange and Baffling Race of Wanderers From Northeastern Asia” By MANUEL GAMIO, Mexican Anthropologist

ENTURIE® before Columbus launched his caravel* a etrang* and baffling race of wanderers came from northeastern Asia in ships of mystery to discover and develop the virgin soil of ths American continent

C

With equal readiness these hardy adventurers trod the trackless deserts and the snow wreaths of dizzy peaks. Fearlessly they explored remote caverns and hostile tropical jungles. Struggling through cataclysm, hunger and epidemic, this race of bronze conquerors proved over and over again its indomitable strength and manly will. v Artistic, sentimental, harmonious, the original Americans from Asia built powerful empires, created strange theogonies and wise laws. They developed a marvelous architecture and a graceful, colorful art, profusely expressed by the decorator, the.weaver and the worker in metals and precious stones. Today this race is grief-stricken, silent and humiliated, revealing no due to its magnificent, heritage. There is no one to understand or tv receive the mute protest of its afflicted soul. There is no one to wait with devoted faith that certain hour of its redemption when, cast in the molds of modern civilization, its latent ancestral virtues will reawaken in triumph. a The highest homage of mankind has been to Columbus as the discoverer of America. Several countries and numerous cities bear his name. In all latitudes bronze and marble immortalize his genius and poets ceaselessly sing his odyssey. Only with Spain, the conqueror, does Columbus, the explorer, share his glory. The fame of the Great Admiral is merited and justified. But his undertaking is not comparable to the achievement of those who preceded him here by a hundred and fifty centuries. Some dauntless son of the indigenous race was the first to plant his roving footsteps on this land. If honor were given to whom honor is due, he would be exalted as the true discoverer of America. us - / “A Blind Man’s Ears Are His Eyes as Well, He Is an z Expert Listener” , By THOMAS D. SCHALL, U. S. Senator From Minnesota. blind man’s ears are his eyes as well. Because of the hundreds of . j little things he hears which the uneducated ear cannot hear—each denoting a characteristic of the person speaking—he actually sees the person. The blind man is an sxpert listener. This is a job he is especially fitted for. There are all sorts of things to throw a seeing person off the track A man may have on a fine suit of clothes and may have a carnation in his buttonhole and may smile confidently and puff out his chest This may all be camouflage and frequently serves to deceive a seeing person, but not the blind man. Many a voter has said to me “Schall, I’m for you” when I knew very well by his voice that he wasn’t The blind know their friends by soice, by their step, and fiy some little peculiarity that to the seeing has gone entirely unnoted. In a poker game a man can Muff his way through by keeping a straight face, but just let me hear his voice and I’ll tell you what kind of a hand he holds. We Are Passing Through a Period Not Unlike the Puritanical Regime By JOHN J. BLAINE, Governor of Wisconsin. ' There is *a formidable program on today. It is to enact laws and ever more laws, stricter and sterner, heaping the penalties higher and higher under the delusion that modern crusades can make men good by passing laws and the establishment of moral guardianship over the people. * Conventionally, we think of the Puritan* as coming* to America to establish the principles of religious freedom. They did—religious freedom for themselves, but prescriptions and inquisitions for others. They demanded full obedience to their decrees and religious freedom ceased to exist Their policy was suppression and repression. They became the reapers of wrath, and through Massachusetts there began a race of lawbreakers, fostered by the laws themselves. We are passing through a period now not unlike the Puritanical regime of centuriea ago. But the multiplicity of laws that do not comport with God’s moral law are bound to be violated and eventually repealed, as they ought to be repealed. To Be Broke and to Be Turned Down by His Girl at the Same Time By JAMES L. FORD, in Theatre Magazine. The education of the dramatist should be that of life rather than of books. 1 cannot conceive of a real dramatist who has not known what it was to be broke and turned down by his girl at the same time. Such an experience is of far greater value than the most exhaustive study of the work of Euripides, though thoughtful consideration of the Greek dramas may be taken by one familiar with the teachings of life as a postgraduate coune. It is often said by those who favor dramas of the highest type that there is no reason why play-writing should not be classed with other professions and taught as effectively as are law and medicine. But the practice of law rests on the solid foundation of the Constitution and that of medicine or surgery on the immutable laws which govern the human body, whereas the writing of dramas has no foundation savt the ever-shifting quicksand of public taste. Conditions in Life Which Favor the Success of Motion Pictures _ By LOUIS WEINBERG, m Current History. la the enthusiasm for motion pictures an artificial thing "created by the promoter*, or is the success of the promoters due to the fact that there are conditions in modern life which favor the success of motion pictures? A most cursory consideration of the subject must reveal the answer. Morion pictures were no doubt heavily advertised, but their success has been primarily due to the fact that they provided in an easily available way for recreational needs of modern life. It is in the nature of this highspeed system that millions of the city workers, caught'in the grind and the routine of their daily tasks, overwrought by the whirl of business deals, inhibiting the natural play of mind, muscle, mood, should seek escape in tome medium of swift experience which brings visions of financial success, of free, unrestrained joy, of the thrills and dangers of outdoor adventures It is also in the nature of our industrial order to stimulate in our rural population a desire for the luxuries, the pleasures, real or imaginary, to be found in the big city.
