This was true of the days of local option, when we had county and State-wide prohibition. The growth of enforcement is attested to by many facts. One of the significant facts brought to light recently is the following, taken from Ridley’s Wine and Spirit Trade circular of England in its edition of June 15 this year, which shows a large decrease in the exports of intoxicating beverages of the first five months of this vear as compared with the same five months of the previous year.

The most significant of these figures is the one showing that from January 1 to May 31. 1924, there was exported to the Bermudas from England 87,630 gal lons, while from January 1 to May 31, 1925, the quantity was only 20,298 Gain in Bay State. “In Massachusetts enforcement has continually gained ground. The local police and State constabulary have | been greatly aided by the passage of the enforcement code by the electorate at the election last November. Seven of the twenty-one country jails that were doing business before prohibi tion have been vacated. They were located at Edgartown, Nantucket, Taunton, Fitchburg, Ipswich, New. buryport and Lowell. The last three mentioned have been sold and the ones at Ipswich and Lowell have been turned into schoolhouses. “It is also significant that instead of a steady Increase in the number of almshouses in Massachusetts as be- fore prohibition, there are now 32 less than there were in 1917, the number then being 170, as compared with 138 today. “The final test, however, of enforce- ment cannot be made with strong anti-prohibitionists in control of en: forcement. We must, to be fair to the whole proposition, at least have offi- cers who are strong believers in law enforcement, regardless of their per- sonal opinions, and, better still, have officers who are friends of the law. It would be ridiculous to try to en- force a law against murder with offi clals who believed in murder, and it is just as ridiculous to expect to en- force a law against polsonous alco- holic beverages by men who believe in them. “Under the leadership of President Coolidge, however, after a reasonable time has passed, I anticipate as full and complete enforcement of the pro- hibition law as we have of any other law in America ARTISANS BORROW LESS. Clientele of German Pawnshops Changed Since World War. Correspondencs of the Associated Press. BERLIN, June 29.—A distinct change since the World War has been noted among the class of people who patronize pawnshops. Statistics of state and municipal pawn offices show that among” the present clientele there are only 34 per cent of artisans, compared to more than 50 per cent in pre-war days. The number of smaller officials borrowing money on their belongings has increased from 4 per cent to 11 per cent. Last year the pawn offices of Prussia received 170,000 miscellaneous objects in exchange for money loans. In addition to the two official pawn- shops run by the state and the municipalty, there are 286 other loan offices in Berlin. Gould Gives Tower to City. PARIS, July 18 (#).—Frank J.

By the Associated Press. DAYTON, Tenn., July 18.—William J. Bryan today in a statement says that the Tennessee evolution case has uncovered a conspiracy against Bible Christianity. Declaring that multitudes have been deceived by the use of the term “evo- lution,” he added that their eyes are now being opened. Evolution, as taught by scientists, he claims, is an imaginary process, wholly unproven, that begins with life, but does not at- tempt to explain life, “If the evolutionary hypothegs is true, man has come up through the animals below him by a cruel law un- der which the strong kill off the weak. “The evolutionists bring their doc- trine before the public in a jeweled case and praise it as if it were u sa- cred thing. They do not exhibit, as Darwin did, its bloody purpose; they do not boast that barbarism is its only true expression; they do not tell the public that Darwin, who studied for the ministry and in his youth believed in a_personal God and in ‘the strict and literal truth of every word in the Bible,’ was led away from Christianity by evolution and died an agnostic. he evolutionists have not been honest with the public, even ministers who believe in evolution have assured their congregations that there is no inconsistency between Darwinism and Christianity.

By the Associated Press DAYTON, Tenn., July 18.—The most bored man around the Rhea County court and evolution trial is Sherift “Blutch” Harris, a man who “remem- bers when.” He- stands serenely day in the midst of the turmail of the legal battle, unmindful of the verbal arrows darts which day by and oral contending | | corks of bottles and stated in court before the judge—rep- resents the most militant anti-Chris- tian sentiment in the country. He protested against the opening of court with prayer, and has lost no oppor- tunity to slur the intelligence of those who believe in orthodox Christianity, and to hurl the charge of bigotry against every one who objects to the teaching of evolution in the schools. “Mr. Darrow’s confction and his conduct during this case ought to in- form the Christian world of the real animus that is back of those who are attempting to enforce upon the schools the views of a small minority, regardless of the fact that the philoso- phy of life based upon evolution robs the individual of a sense of responsi- bility to God and paralyzes the doc- trine of brotherly love. “Mr. Darrow shouts that truth is being excluded from the jury, merely because a few so-called ‘experts’ whom he has selected are not permitted to put their prejudiced opinions up against the honest convictions of the people of Tennessee. The experts do not represent unbiased science. Even the so-called ‘Bible experts’ who he wanted to call were selected by Mr. Darrow and his associates. We are making progress and we can acknowledge our indebtedness to many for unintentional aid. First, we are indebted to Mr. Scopes, but our indebtedness is much greater to Mr. Darrow.

Ridicules “Bootlegging.” Representative Johnson, looking back upon the first yvear's operation of restricted Immigration, calls it unqualified succe: He ridicuics the idea that “wholesale bootlegging™ of aliens is in progress across land fron. tiers or at the seaboard. He favors, nevertheless, new provisions that will drastically limit the influx which may legally enter the United States from Canada or Mexico. Johnson also urges the inclusion in the proposed alien code of a provision for the ad- mission of wives and children of aliens who have already arrived, but not men who have yet to come. Experi- ence has shown that provisions, to admit “relatives” open the door wide to fraud. There seems to be an extraordinarily large number of brothers-i w anxious to join rela- tions in this country. Johnson thinks that if the immigration law is changed there should be a definition | of “merchants” to mean one who is a merchant in his native country and expects to remain such in America; not one who merely expects to be a merchant in the United States. The House immigration chairman will be in Washington by September 1 to resume work on the preparation of bills which will form titles of the four-fold alien code. Japanese exclusion, Mr., Johnson de- clares, has entirely justified its enact- ment during the initial year of its enforcement. He describes it, as President Coolidge has done, “a closed incident” and does not expect there will be any serious effort in Congress in the measurable future to modify or upset exclusion. The Pacific coast press, especially in Oregon . itself, heartily disapproves of the recent mobbing episode at Toledo, Oreg., when Japanese sawmill workmen were attacked and expelled. Leading newspapers in Seattle, Spokane and Portland describe the affair as an act of “American lawlessness,” for which the Japanese government is entitled to expect the fullest and promptest possible reparation.

DAYTON, Tenn., July 18.—The Rev. Howard Gale Byrd, who retired from the pastorate of the Dayton Methodist Episcopal Church last Sun- day as an indirect result of the agita- tion of the evolution issue, plans to continue his education by attending Depauw University, Indiana, and to remain in the ministry, he told the Associated Press tonight. The minister withdrew from his church when a part of his congrega- tion protested against his invitation to Dr. Charles Francis Potter of the West Side Unitarian Church of New York to speak from his pulpit last Sunday morning. Dr. Potter had an nounced his subject as “Evolution,” after his arrival in Dayton to attend the Scopes trial. Mr. Byrd was visited yesterday by the Rev. Bert Smith, assistant secre- tary of the educational board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who dis- cussed with the young Dayton preach- er the circumstances of his with drawal and urged him to enter the Indiana school. ‘Will Work Way Through. The visiting church official assured Mr. Byrd that he would gladly aid him in securing pastoral work near the univeraity by which he might sup- port his wife, three small children and | himself while resuming his literary studies. The local minister expressed his wish to accept this offer, if the ar- rangements could be made. “I would be glad to go back to school,” Mr. Byrd said tonight, “and finish the academic work I began at Lincoln Memorial University. The plan is for me to attend Dapauw for two vears and then go to the Drew Theological Seminary in New Jersey for three additional sessions. “I feel that God has called me to the ministry, and if the arrangements can be made for me to go to school I will regard it as an indication of His will in my case.” If_the school plans do not material ize, Mr. Byrd expects to return to his former occupation as a worker alectrical engineering.
