RELIEFS OF SACRED BULL AND DRAGON OX WALL OF ISIITAR GATE: BABYLON 



King Sargon, the gardener king, nearly 6,ooo years ago, reviewed his reign much as a 

 President of the United States does his administration in his farewell message. He calls 

 attention to the fact that he restored and colonized ruined cities, that he made tracts of 

 barren lands fertile, that he gave his nation a splendid system of irrigation works, that he 

 protected the needy from want and the weak from oppression, rilling the nation's granaries 

 with corn, bringing down the high cost of living, and rinding new markets (see page 137).
