PURE FOOD IN

It is significant that the pure food
bill comes from the state of hogs, lard
and glucose-from Iowa. 1t is Mr..
Hepburn's own bill, and Mr.. Hep
burn is an Iowa man first, last and
all the time.
The full text bill is not at hand,
but if a close reading of it does not
disclose several jobs of a sectional,
corporate or individual nature, the
ARGUS will be agreeably disappoint-
ed. If, in other words, it IS not
drawn to boom Iowa lard and to as
sail North Carolina cotton seed oil,
we shall be pleasingly surprised.
Cotton seed oil is a far healthier food
material than the grease gathered
from a miscellaneous lot of hogs, al
subject to hog cholera and other dis
| eases, but in all probability the Hep.
| burn bill, which has been rushed
through the house, discriminate
! against the more wholesome produc
in favor of the lard of Iowa.
Other jobs may be tucked away il
the Hepburn bill. Until the full tex
comes in. it cannot be CAREFUL,
summarized, it cannot, however, b
rushed through the senate, and w
trust the senators from the soutl
will see that cotton seed oil is not un
duly Disseminated against even TO
the purpose of booming unwhOle

A REPUBLICAN ASSET.

Senator Hanna's recent remark,
that "Mr. Bryan is the Republican
party's most valuable asset" affords
added proof of the senator's astute-
ness and clearness of vision.
Mr.. Bryan is a valuable man. He
is valuable as a representative
American" disporting himself in
foreign capitals. He is valuable as a
scientific specimen, showing how a
man may be dead and yet make a
noise. But he is most valuable as a
resource of the Republican party in
it's time of direst need.
1t would pay the Republicans to
keep Mr.. Bryan in commission all
the time, so long as there is a chance
of any Democrats listening at what
he says. It would pay them to keep
that huge mouth a-going, and to
supply those leathern lungs with
wind for all time to come, if thereby
some impressionable Democrat
should be led astray out of the true
path of party wisdom.
Should Mr.. Bryan become mac
tive, the Republicans would have
suffered a distressing calamity. Ii
such a case we doubt not that the.
would find some means of restoring
him to his Wonted noi,iness, an,
would stop at nothing in their effort
to bring,on another explosion.
/ For in SO tar as the Democrat
5 party inclines towards Bryan in il
l platform or recognizes Bryan in il
councils, just so far are its chance
of victory decreased in geometrics
, ratio.
The trouble is, however, that M
Bryan is becoming so tiresome ths
i fewer and fewer people every da
e are even listening at his pate
Where he formerly hypnotized, /
only bores. Consequently, the Walt
d of the Great Republican asset is dali
declining.
U In the wee, small hours of the fl
d ture it will pass zero on the wa

/. is DARWINISM DECLINING?

Men come and g., and theories
with them. The hypothesis of OAR
win, commonly known as the "evo-
luton theory" is now being serious
ly questioned by scientific men, after
holding almost supreme sway for 20
years.
The well-known philosopher, Ed
ward Won Hartmann, though opposed
to Christianity, says in a recent
book:
SIN the sixties of the past century
the opposition OF the older group of
savants to the Darwinian hypothesis
was still supreme. In the seventies,
the new idea began to gain ground
rapidly in all cultured countries. In
the eighties, Darwin's influence was
at its height, and exercised an al
most absolute control over technical
research. In the nineties, for the
first time a few timid expressions of
doubt and opposition were heard,
and these gradually swelled into a
great chorus of voices, aiming at the
overthrow Of the Darwinian theory.
In the first decade of the twentieth
century it has become apparent that
the days of Darwinism are number
ed. Among its latest opponents are
such savants as Elmer, Gustav Wolf,
De Vries, Hoocke, Won Wellstein,
Fleischman, Reinke, and many
| Others"
According to Hartmann's view,
"the theory of descent is safe, but
Darwinism has been weighed and
found wanting. Selection can in gen.
eral not achieve any positive results,
but only negative effects; the origin
of species by minimal changes is pos
sible, but has not been demonstrated.
The pretensions of Darwinism as a
purely mechanical explanation of re-
suits that show purpose are totally
groundless."
The mutability Of scientific systems
is forcibly illustrated by these opin'
ions which are not sporadic but voice
a growing sentiment among think
ing men-a feeling of huge doub
; concerning the Darwinian theory O
= descent, which one writer stigma
. ties as having ''not a single fact Il
lconfirm it in the realm of nature. l
= not the result of scientific research
. but purely the product of the imagi
. nation"
For ourselves, while not wedde
u to any particular theory, Darwinia
or otherwise, we believe the genera
idea of evolution to be not only tru
: but in harmony with revealed relig
, ion.
