People do not admire weakness, but they will follow strength to the end If this law stands the churches will lose member: For their own {the churches ought to help kill this {evolution bill.

I do not would have ence and Christianity a believe the evolution bill passed in Tennessee if {the clause “The divine creation of man as told in the Bible” had not been attached to it. It suggested to the legislators that the children in the State were losing their religious faith by attending public schools. Faith Rests With Home. If a child ever loses its faith it will be the fault of the home training and not what it m learn at school. It is something else when a teacher is responsible for the religious, the moral and the educational training of the pupil. In order for this to be pos- ble there must be established schools -‘u all denominations, supported by the State. The Tennessee constitution the ‘Lm.'lslature must encourage ience land art by its laws. Does the anti- !4‘\'()]”[“\“ bill encourage science? It |was not intended to do so. It was | formulated to be a slap in the face of science. In an unintended way the act has jaided science, for to study science is to believe in its value and its great possibilities. The people of the entire Nation have lost no time in obtaining books on evoiution and reading a bit for themselves. Whether evolution i: if the knowledge of it dangerous to religion, then religion is doomed. But Christianity and sclence both stand for truths, so in the long run neither can be injured by the study of the other. It is only the narrow-minded interpretation of them that hur Legislators Violate Duty. | or is not true, The statesmen of Tennessee, re- sponding to this narrow view of nce and religion, have not only ailed to do their duty, but have vio- lated their duty. The law conflicts with another great principle of this Nation, taxation with- out representation. The State taxes all people directly or indirectly to ob- tain finances to operate its schools. The question is now asked of them, “Do you believe in evolution or any religion other than the Christian re- liglon?” If they answer in the af- firmative, exempt them from taxation. They are taxed for the upkeep of a public institution that does not permit the teaching of their beliefs. They are not entation, only taxed without but are taxed and st. Are we going back to an intoler- ance in this country that we de- spised so much in our ancestral homes in_the old countries? 1 talked to a legislator who voted for this act. He was of the opinion that this anti-evolution law was not so bad within itself, but that it would, in all probability, lead to fu- ture legislation that would be very obnoxious if it were permitted to stand. Ridiculous in Any View. From any viewpoint this law is ridiculous. I believe every biology instructor in the State ignored the law as 1 did. 1 taught the c ss 1 was hired to teach in the best way my limited ability permitted. Under this law, any {ime an indignant parent heard vou even so much as mention evo- lution he could prosecute you. Where does the Legislature get this power to say what is a truth? I do not believe it has such a power. It is not conferred upon it by either the State or the Federal Constitution. It has just as much authority to say that two and two are not four as to say that man is or is not subject to evolution.

DALLAS, Tex., May 19.—The gray of the South and the blue of the North mingled once more to- day, this time as friends, when the United Confederate Veterans, here for their thirty-fifth reunion begin- ning today, discovered a meeting of the Texas branch of the Grand Army of the Republic in session. The fact that the Texas G. A. R. was to meet today did not become zenerally known until last night when a few of the boys in blue be- gan to arrive and were received by members of the Women's Relief Corps. About 100 of the men who ht for the Union are attending while the Confeder: at the State f: away. The 4 members planned on making a visit to the mp of the Confederates to pay the streets between the veterans of the opposite camps. Registration of Confederate Vet- erans far beyond expectations v in progress tod Sight special trains yesterday brought in almost 00, and 14 special trains were due to arrive today. Besides those coming by train a great army is converging on the city by automo- bile. The Sons of Confeder: erans also are coming by sands, the early registrations indi- cating the reunion will be one of the largest of recent years. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the Confederated Southern Memorial Association was to hold a welcom- ing meeting. The reunion will begin to swing into its stride tonight when the three organizations hold a com- bined meeting at the Fair Park Auditorium near which many of the veterans are nping. The program will be under the auspices of the Sons of Confederate Vet- erar judgment on this question t problem for science to solve Whether the theory of evolution is true is to be decided, not by an act of the Legislature, but by time and study. Truth will prevail in the long run, regardless of what we do. The question is not concerned with the truth, for truth can take care of a itself. Rather is it whether science will continue to enjoy the liberty it| has had since the founding of our vernment, or shall we have to bow n to superstition and prejudic in its infancy.

He spoke the only language his tempter understood. Asked to Turn His Back. the Coast Guard | of he said id the In a third se exactly the same amount, $30,000, was offered to a Coast Guard man under approxi- mately the same conditions. All that was asked of this man was that he turn his back while rum running motor boats from the row should enter the narrow inlet where he stood guard. That offer, like the others, was made shortly before the present blockade of rum row was put into effect. It was made a a time when the new picket boats of the Coast Guard fleet were increas- ing rapidly on waters around New York. Another bootlegser one n walked boldly ht into a Coast Guard station not from New York City and laid down $18.000 in bills before the lone man on duty. “Wha that for?” asked the Coast Guardsman. “For turning your back,” replied the bootlegger. “Now turn it and keep it turned.” A second later the bootlegger was looking into the wrong end of a service revolver. “You are going to do the back- turning, announced the Coast Guardsman. “Turn it quick—to me —and keep going.” In still another case, also in New Jersey, a well dressed man went to a Coast Guard station early one aft- ernoon and announced that he was ready to pay $8,000 for the privilege of landing a cargo on the beach nearby where he “could work safe- ly and without interruption. Displays Large Sums. He accompanied his offer with a display of bills, a small roll of $1,000 in $500 denominations. Before the astonished Coast Guard man could reply the caller hastily whisked the money from sight and thrust it back into his pocket. “It won't do,” you to get he explained, “for the money in such big bills. Might excite suspicion when vou took it to the bank or some- thing. Now here—" and he dove into the other side of his trousers— “are some smaller bills. Suppose we count off $8,000 in twenties and fifties with a century now and then.” The roll he displayed was so large that he got it back in his pocket only after considerable effort. In the sixth case an offer of $5.000 was made to a Coast Guard employe who had been injured while on duty some years previously and had been carried at full pay for many months while he was recovering. “The Government pays you next to nothing,” was the way the bootlegger put it. “Now here's $6,000—more than vou'll make in two years. And all I'm asking is that you go for a walk to- morrow night and don’t come back till after midnight.” The Coast Guard man looked at the money long before he answered. “No.” he finally said, slowly and de- liberately. “They were good to me while T was on my back. I can't do it. But I sure need the money.’ (Copyright, 1025.)

DETROIT, Mich., May 19 (®.— That the police of this city are now undergoing an investigation similar in many respects to that recently completed in Cincinnati, conducted by a picked force of Federal prohi- bition agents, is the report circulating treely in police circles here todayu. Police Commissioner Frank H. Croul, when questioned in regard to the reported investigation of alleged corruption between police officers and liquor law violators, freely admitted that he had heard from an unofficial source that a group of Federal men came to this city several days for the express purpose of gathering evidence of corruption for presenta- tion to the grand jury. Group of 75 Probers. 1t was reported that the group con- sists of 75 men, the same who gath- ered sufficient evidence in their “clean-up” campalign in Cincinnati to convict 75 policemen and others of violating the Federal prohibition laws. Commissioner Croul was emphatic in declaring that his information came from an unofficial source, and added that in all probability the re- sults of the investigation would not be known until the report of the grand jury. In connection with reports out of Washington that the general cam- paign of the Government against liquor law violators would result in the centering of heavily increased forces along the Canadian-United States border, with probable head- quarters here, James R. Davis, di- rector of prohibition enforcement for Michigan, declared that he had no knowledge of any such plans.

Thomas Hodges, a lumberman from Akron, Ohio, who was in one of the middle cars, commented bitterly on the conduct of the men amongs the fear-crazed passengers, saying many of them had trampled women and children with no thought for any thing_but their own safety. A. L. Merritt, traffic superintendent of the Interborough, credited the mo- torman of the train with the possible salvation of many lives. For it was he, according to this official, who rushed from his train as he saw the panic developing in the cars behind him, made his way to an emergency station ahead and turned off the elec- tric power that supplied the trains with motive power through a third rall. Many of the fugitives through the darkened tunnel stumbled against the third rail, ordinarily deadly, in their rush for safety. 3 Officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. reported that up to 1 clock they had received word that 13 persons had been treated on station platforms. While police and subway employ were telephoning for ambulances fire alarms were turned in. The arrival of the apparatus near the subway exits caused great crowds to gather, and police reserves were called out to pre- serve orcer. Nearly all of the cars on the train were packed. When the train came to a sudden stop many of the passengers were hurled from their seats. A few moments later dense clouds of smoke filled the train. Passengers rushed by the guards and attempted to for open the automatic doors, but the guards prevented. Windows were then smashed in the wild scramble to es- cape. Evewltnesses reported that two women were literally hurled through the windows of one car by the crowds endeavoring to escape. The last serious subway mishap of a similar nature occurred on the East Side subway December 16, 1923, when 150 persons were injured in a panic which started with a fire which sent choking gases through the cars. This accident occurred when fuses in 4 motorman’s compartment blew out and a fireman in the car attempted to extinguish the flames by use of a fire extinguishing chemical.
