Due of the Youngest American NM -
tions lifaS Had Turinilent History •
r --Quito Was Capital of important
Indian Kingdom Before Arrival of
Spaniards. •
• Ecuador is almost the youtigest of
the natiens of the Americae, writes
Wallace Thimpson, in the Christian
Science Monitor. Its separation from
the confederation of Greater Colome
bin came on August 14, 1830, so that
only Panama. and Cuba have a more
recent birthday. Yet Quito, the Ecu-
adorean capital, was the, capital of
an important Indian kingdom beiore
the Spaniards came to South Amer-
ica. Indeed, Ecuador's ancient his-
tory promises to reveal a cultural
plane second only to that of the Incas
of Peru, and'exeavations have turaed
up notable treasures, iudications of
the wealth that existed in pre-Colom;
bleu days.
Tbe name Ecuador is definitive, for
the equator passes directly through
Quito and Ecuador's "island posses-
sions," the Galapagos Islands in the
Pacific, which R&M) miles off shore,
are also exactly on the equator. The
Galapagos Islands are cooled some-
what by the Humboldt current from
the Antarctic, and Quito is cooled by
its altitude of 9,500 feet above the
sea. For the ancient capital, like the
capital of the Incas in Peru, Cuzco,
lies in the great inter -Andean plain
between. the snoWca.pped summits df
the eastern and western cordilleras
of the Andes. Above it rise snow -
Capped mountains, the dominating
summit being th•at of the active vol-
cano Cotopaxi, nearly 20,000 feet in
height above the sea.
• The area of Ecuador, like its popu-
lation, is merely eitiraated, for the
• boundaries of Ecuador are st411 in
dispute, 'and the solution of tbe
boundary with Peru, in particular, is
raow engaging the attention of both
countries. Ecuador exercises sove-
reign control over 116,000 square
miles, but Peru claims almost a third
of this, in addition to over 100,000.
square miles in the valley of the
A:mazon. The population of Ecuador
is generally put at about 2,090,000.
The Amazon region is but sparsely
populated by,Indian tribes, most of
them supremely, ignorant of any
distant Government, either in Quito
Education in Ecnador is backward,
peonage has been outlawed only a
few years, and. the rulers of the coun-
try and the leaders in commercial life
are virutally all of direct Spauish de-
scent, though not all of pure blood.
The life of the npper classes' is pa-
triarchal, and their sons and damgh-
ters are almost invariably educated
abroad. They themselves spend a
large portion of their time in Europe
and the United Slates. The cities are
distinctly Spanish colonial in style,
Quito being charming 'with its Old
World atmosphere and fine old Span-
ish colonial mansions. •
Guayaquil, the'largest city of the
country (Quito has about 50,000
people ,and Guayaquil more than
tvviee as many) is also the chief port.
It lies on the largest river emptying
into the Pacific Oeean, and most of
the ships plying the coast can make
their way to its water front. Guaya-
frail was once one of the ports
avoided by all the ships not forced to
call, but within the past quarter cen-
tury it has been cleaned up, furnish-
ed with fine modern buildings and
parks.
Ecuador has beeu from the first
Spanish conquest a buffer state in
more senses than one. „Its ancient
kingdom of Quito peopled by a na-
tion known as the Caras, was put
under the rule of Gonzalo Pizarro,
brothel' of the conqueror of Peru, and
whose men had entered Quito on Dec.
6, 15 3 4. The *Presidency of Quito,
as it came to be called, was attached
first to the Viceroyalty of Peru, then
to that of Nueva Granada (Colom-
bia), again to Peru and again to
Nueva Granada, the last step in 1139.
In the course of the titantic struggle
of Simon Bolivar ' for the lilocration
Of the continent, Ecuador was taken
from the Spaniards and became a
part of Greater Colombia. •
Ecuador later formed itself into a
separate sovereign republic. It re-
mains to -day one of the smaller, less
significant Of the countries of South
America,. Yet its scenic wonders are
unsurpassed even ;in that continent,
of scenic magnificence. Its mighty
v lie s dlsplay alt the vaniatlons of
the exotie climate in which they lie,
and ornithologists have told of find-
ing, in a single ;valley, every variety
of bird from brilliant parrots and
touchans of the low-lying tropics to
the winged denizens of the snows of
the arctic zones in the heights.
Politically, Ecuador has won --
with many baeksliclings perhaps --Its
slow way up the heights toward bet-
ter democracy. Of its first seventeen
presidents it is retarded that not one
reached his office by any road save
revolution, and Gen. Eloy Aifaro, the
seventeenth ehief exeeutive, was the
fuet to turn over his poWet to an
eleeted successor. But revolution did
not end with President Alfaro; antl'
Indeed the last revolution, a blood-
less eoup d'etat, took plave in 1925.
The present Pregident, Dr, Isidro
Ayora, was called to his post by the.

the revolution, and in his hands was

Mr. Spotton's Open, Letter
To the Editor,:
Dear Sirs •
—
leread Mr. Spottoa's open letter itt
your last week's issue and I found it
interesting and entertaining. From it
I gathered that Mr, Spotton considers
himself North •Httron's Hired Man,
its Representative and its Advocate,
Mr. Spotton was hired, for a term,
byte majority cif the electers of North
Huron to represent them in parlia-
ment. There were a number of per-
sons, however, in the constituency,
who did not vote for Mr. Spotton,
who were opposed to hiririg Mal, who
thought, in short, that he could not
represent them, and. that he would
not advocate what they thought their
Representative or Hired Man should
advocate. Therefore, the persons re-
ferred to, constituting the • minority,
element in the Constituency have no
Representative in the House, no Hir-
ed man there, so they argue. Yet Mr.
Spotton claims be is our Hired Man,
and truly and most emphatically he
assuredly is. "The law allows it and
the House awards it." He represents
your and 1, and all of tai; we cannot
escape that; it is indeed "so nominat-
ed in the bond." He is member for
North Huron. He calls himself a
Conservative; why, I don't know. He
sits on the Opposition 'Benches (1
done know how many he occupies,
two at least, I should imagine) be-
cause others call- lain a Conservative.
For my part I don't think he is inucb
of a Conservative. He is too blessed-
ly independent to be a Conservative
for any length of tune, one stretch,
so to speak. He is a Conservative at
odd times, quite properly so, but at
other times, when he thinks largely
and wholesomely (if I may use these
expressions) and on a topic that real-
ly matters, he is anything but a Con-
servative.
In his open letter he says nothing
at all about the great Conservative
Party; he never • mentions it. He
writes, on the contrary, is my de-
sire to serve all, irrespective of polit-
ical affiliations." Now, no good Con-
servative, (good, in the party sense)
would ever dare to use such language.
I am very much in love with the
above quoted sentence. It is simply
beautiful, no matter how you para-
phrase it. For example:—I desire to
serve all, irrespective of their politi-
nal affiliations. Or:—I will disregard
my Political affiliations in my efforts
to serve all, Mr. Spotton is eager
to serve all. Whether you are e Tory
a Grit or simply an It, he is going
to serve' you, • though the Heavens'
fall or the Tory party spring up and
choke him. That's the sett of spirit
I like, I say so in all seriousness,
It is a valiant, an :upright, a Christ-
ian spirit.. With this kind of a spirit
in our T-Iired Man, we Feel proud of
him and we wish him every success.
We don't accept • assurance of this
spirit entirely on trust. Since Mr,
Spotton entered the House he has
given many exhibitions of this spirit
and I have no doubt whatever he will
persevere and gladden our hearts with
more of them. More power to his
1 -Jig, brew, brawny brain say I.
