Archeologists, impressed b» , the excavations in progress, thlnl that It may fcrove a rival to th* . ' famous baried city at the foot <(( ; Vesuvius. But Leptis Magna, in an event, will furnish an exhibit muc different from that of Pompeii. V;; Rome was founded about 753 B. ($,' - and fell in 476 A. D. Up to 510 B. C. Rome was% local affair, governed by kings. From 510 to 2®• *, B. C. It was a republic and conquered Italy.* lflrk 265 B. C. the republic began its career of exti% Italian conquest. In 28 B. C. began the emplrfc When Christ was born Rome was undisputed Mia* tress of the World. From 180 to 268 A. D. wa».l a period of disaster. About 375 A. D. began tBd - series of barbarian invasions which brought ab<M|j ; the fall of the Roman empire in 476 A. D. Now, Pompeii was founded sometime before 500 B. C. It came under the power of Rome aboat 800 B. C. Its industries were wine-making, fishing and the working of lava. It was a gay and pleasure-loving city of considerable wealth and, luxury. August 24, 79 A. D.p Vesuvius erupted and In 24 hours Pompeii was buried In ashes. About 2,000 of Its Inhabitants perished. The ashes so preserved the city that excavations--which are still going on--have revealed the Pompeiian life to its most Intimate details. Even the "graffiti"-- the scrlbbllngs on the walls--give us the wit, ok* scenlty and politics of the day. Now as to Leptis Magna: It wu in 148 B. CH that Rome destroyed her rival Carthage and made her territories into the province of Africa. Leptis Magna was probably founded by the Romans soon afterward. Lucius Septimlus (146-211 A. D.) was born there. He became consul and In 198 was proclaimed emperor by his troops, following the murder of Pertinax. He marched on Rome, which submitted to him; defeated Alblnus, proclaimed emperor by the troops in Gaul; waged a successful campaign against the Parthians and captured Babylon. He rebuilt the wall In Britain between the firths of Forth and Clyde which bears his name He was an extravagant emperbr who achieved a reputation for expenditures. He made much of Leptis Magna, his birthplace, and Is supposed to have spent the three years between 199 and 202 in building his palace there and beautifying tlie city. . Nowadays the location of Leptis Magna is best described by saying it is in northern Africa. Ill sands of the Libyan desert, about one hundred miles east of Tripoli and four or five miles from the Mediterranean sea. In the time of Severas it was a flourishing city of possibly 300,000 inhabitants, the center of an agricultural region and a seaport, either on an arm of the sea or the mouth of a river. Leptis Magna bad probably began to dedltti before the fall of Rome, A. D. What happened to it nobody knows. Did an epidemic wipe out its people when Rome fell ? Were they frightened away by an earthquake? Did savage hordes - slaughter them) 'r Anyway, when the Arabs came about 800 tbey found a dead city. They neither occupied it nor looted it; the place was contaminated for then because Christian dogs had lived there. But the Arabs did take 40 great marble columns, which they transported 80 miles to the west and used In the building of the Mosque of Tsgiura--where (bey may be seen to this day. Then crept iif the desert sands and buried tbe elty of Severus from 15 to 50 feet deep. For a thousand years it was forgotten, except that among the Arabs of the Sahara there lived a legend of an "Enchanted City." Eighty years ago the explorer, Rohlfs, one of the first of white men to cross the Libyan desert, was caught in a great sandstorm that uncovered enough to show that a city was burled there. Archeologists were eager to excavate--but the Turk ruled the land. Italy took over the colony in 1911 and promptly began preparations to dig up the buried city. Along came the World war and Italy had to fight for her life. Now the work of excavation is well under way. A road Is being built from Tripoli. Several hundred Arab prisoners of war are busy under the direction of Prof. Renato Bartocclnl of the department ofc fine arts. Already the discoveries give hint that the possibilities are very great. Next spring an international congress of archeologists will be held in the ruins. It is probable several years will be needed to finish the work. The photographs reproduced herewith were brought to this country by Dr. Bruno Roselll. professor of Italian at Vassar college, who has Just returned from an extended visit to the buried city. He is greatly impressed and says: AU of the buildings and statues unearth**! are of a pronounced Roman type, with a touch of the Oriental and Egyptian. Some of tbe decorative work la remarkable. Columns nine meters high have been uncovered. Nothing like them has been found In any Roman rains. Imposing and unspoiled palaces already have been exposed by the tflnlng, •with spacious courtyards still paved with the flagstones of Roman days. On what was once an arm of the sea Is the only Roman harbor ever found Intact. The quays and ateps leading down to the water are In almost perfect condition. Galleys must once have been moored there to transport grain to the Imperial City. Even the warehouses which held the grain are still standing. No burled city has ever yielded anything like It. ; Pompeii, when It was dug from beneath the ashes of Vesuvius, gave an almost perfect picture of how the Romans lived, of their kitchen utensils and of minute details of their homes. Leptis Magna will be of equal Importance, but It has far more Imposing structures and probably more valuable works of art than any found In Pompeii. The fact that It was the birthplace of Eraperor Septimlus Severus gave It an added Importance and dignity and It had a splendor of which Pompeii could never bout The photographs give hint of the quality of the city of Severus. It is believed that Severus spent time and money lavishly In beautifying the city of his birth. Certain It is that he had there a magnificent palace, for tbe inscription stone baa been brought to light. It can be read in part la city, which occupied aeveral square miles, has been mar- VSlously preserved by the protecting sand. The quality of the varl-colored marble, the workmanship and the size of the pillars all Indicate that the palace Is of truly royal magnificence. It is lioped to find here valuable historical records. Concerning this Doctor Roselll says: The period that produced Caesar Augustus Lucius Septimlus is the period about which scholars know least. Authentic documents are few, and so are relics of his contributions to letters and arr Leptis Magna may reveal the secrets of his home. Dlo Casslus the Greek historian and a contemporary of Septimlus Severus. tells something of this Caesar andspeaksofhU superstitions and his belief » miraculous siRns. Leptis Magna was probably gbout two miles square in ancient times, with outlying suburbs. There seems no reason to doubt that it was in tru a P* city. All the results of excavation point to that fact For Instance, two bathhouses have been found in different parts of the c y.. days only a city of importance ha wo . WINS FULL SWAY IN BOTH HOUSES Newly Elected Republican President Is Sure to - ^M?Have Control. The decisive manner in which the •oters of the country rallied to the wishes of President Coolidge and his party in the recent election, by providing a substantial working majority in both houses, marks the event as one general satisfaction to those directly concerned. f Several important Items mark the election of President Coolidge as most remarkable in such events. Among them may be enumerated the generous support that was given" in the election to the senate and house of members of the President's party--a substantial majority In both branches; what might have proved a thorn In the side of the President and his fellow-workers--the LaFollerte faction--has been dispelled; the election was not thrown into congress as had been feared; approval of President Coolidge's course by approximately 18,000,000 votes. Deeply grateful for "the faith and confidence" expressed by the people at the polls. President Coolidge in a statement of appreciation dedicated himself anew to "the service of all my country and all of my countrymen." He wrote: "It does not seem possible to me to make an adequate expression concerning the presidency of the United States. No other honor equals this, no other responsibility approaches this. "When It is conferred by an overwhelming choice of the people and •ote of the electoral college, these are made all the greater. "I can only express my simple thanks to all those who have contributed to this result and plainly acknowledge that It has been brought to pass through the work of a Divine Providence, of which I am but one instrument. "Such powers as I have I dedicate to the service of all my countrymen. In the performance of the duties of my office I could not ask for anything more than the sympathetic consideration which my follow Americans have always bestowed upon me. "1 have no appeal except to the common sense of all the people. I have made no pledge except to serve them. I have no object except to promote their welfare." The lineup of the next congress presents a situation that will further stress the support President Coolidge will have during the next four years. With Senator LaFollette so badly weakened that he will be of no dan ger to the interests of the party In control; with the defeat of Senator Mangus Johnson of Minnesota, representing the Farmer-Labor party. In fact, the senate situation is better from a Republican standpoint than any of the administration leaders had hoped for. Causes of the Landslide. Causes for a landslide in s presidential election always are discussed, after the smoke of the battle has cleared. The platforms adopted at the national conventions of the three parties are well known. The fact that LaFollette carried only his own state --Wisconsin, and that Davis could control only the so-called Solid South, •nil not all of that, showed the strength of President Coolidge. It Is contended that the principal causes, aside from the preference of the- majority of the voters for the present administration may be ascribed to the disatisfaction of the labor element and the discontent of the farmers. It is obvious that the voters of the country did not follow either Davis or LaFollette in their attempt to score THE ELECTORAL VOTE State, i Alabama Arizona Arkansas .. California . Colorado ..

Both are elaborate and extensive. still Intact--pipes between two walls which carried hot water to the steam rooms. Some of the pipes are of cement. Others are made of bricks similar to the bricks,-we use today, but larger. The bridges, of which several have been uncovered, are of superior masonry and substantially built Evidently no earthquake shock disturbed them, for they are intact, having been well preserved, by the sand. ^ There are many quays. These Indicate that Leptis Magna had a considerable water traffic, though It Is suggested that some of them may have been built at the time Severus was bringing choice marbles from Greece and other countries to beautify the city and erect his palace. There certainly Is much marble of very high quality. Doctor Roselll says that some of the temples are made of precious "glallo antlco"--old yellow marble a8 weu aa of "clpollino"--onion marble. The 30-foot pillars of the palace are of the finest marble In green, yellow, blue and other colors. Archeologists will be greatly Interested In the harbor construction work, which Is Intact and Is said to be the first of the kind to be unearthed. There is also a lighthouse. It is In ruins, so no one can tell how It looked. But apparently the stones are all there and It presumably can be restored. The fact that Leptis Magna has not been looted since Its abandonment by Its Inhabitants gives hope of actual treasure, since there are indications of underground storehouses Ko one need worry lest Italy does a good Job IB excavating Leptis Magna. Her archeologists kttow their business. Moreover, there is the prospect of Inestimable treasure--if not in gold and sliver and gems, then In historical records and in works of art worth more than their weight in solid gold. In fact, it may be safely assumed that the imperial city of Severus will not only be carefully and understanding^ explored but also restored-- as an attraction to tourists. It will soon be possible to make the round trip from Rome In a week. So, even If none of the gold of Severus Is unearthed, a treasure may be found in the shape of good American dollars.

It Is also made manifest to the country that the organized labor vote, which has been claimed solidly by La Follette, Is either wholly Independent of any leadership within Its ranks when It comes to voting on election day, or, if the LaFollette contention Is entirely true, that vote is much smaller than It has ever been reckoned before. Worried About "8ilentM Vote. There appeared throughout the campaign to be an apathetic condition among voters; the "silent" vote was worried about. Yet a record vote was cast. President Harding's plurality of 7,000,000 In 1920 over James M. Cox was thought to be almost an Impossible figure, yet Harding had no thirdparty opposition, with the exception of Eugene V. Debs' 1,000,000 total vote. LaFollette polled four times the Socialist vote of that year, his 4,000.- 000 total approximates the Roosevelt Bull Moose third party strength In 1912. Pennsylvania appears to be the banner state for Coolidge with a plurality of about 1.000.000. and the President carried New York state by 900,000; Illinois by 900.000; California, regarded as likely to go to LaFollette, by 400,000; Indiana, claimed by the Democrats, by 300,000, and by a like figure he triumphed in Iowa. President Is Congratulatedi John W. Davis, the defeated presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket, telegraphed President Coolidge as follows: "Permit me to congratulate you on your sweeping victory and to express the hope that your administration may by Its success Inure .to the welfare of the country." President Coolidge sent this reply: "Please accept my thnnks for your message and my appreciation of the patriotic sentiments you express." Senator Robert M. LaFollette, In his first public statement, commenting upon the election, said: "The loss of this one battle in the age-long struggle Is but an Incident. So far as I am personally concerned I am enlisted for life in the struggle. "The progressives will not be dismayed by this result. We have Just begun to fight. There can be no compromise on the fundamental issues fot which we stand." Two Women Governors. For the first time In the history of the country, at this election two women were elected as governors--Mrs. Nellie T. Ross, on the Democratic ticket, as governor of Wyoming. She is the widow of the late Governor Ross. Under the laws she will assume office bs soon as she qualifies. Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, also on the Democratic ticket, was elm-ted governor of Texas. Her husband was formerly governor of the state. There will be one woman in congress, Mrs. Mary T. Norton.^ Democrat, from the Twelfth New Jersey district. Several women were victorious candidates for election to state legislatures and other state offices, displaying s most important fact, that women are In politics to stay. In Chicago, for the first time In history, a co.lored man was elected to the municipal bench. For that skin eruptioo.
