ing. Ii this is to be regular and con-
tinuous feature of the Blade it's readers
are to be congratulated. l have long
desired to adopt this plan for The
Searchlight, but have feared the addi-
tional cost would Overtax my final re-
sources.
Thanks, Brother Shaw, and the Blade
wishes you health, strength and abund.
ant prosperity in your fight against
superstition in the Lone Star State.
One thing is certain, you have hit the
nail squarely upon the head when you
mention the "overtax" upon financial
resources connected with the publ
cation Of the portraits. We find it
great tax, and it is for this reason, de-
feature, that we urge upon our friends
constantly to their best efforts in assist
ing the Blade to much larger circula-
ton than it now enjoys. Many friends
are helping us by sending new sub
scribers, and if the plan we have recent
ly suggested is carried our our
circulation can be doubled before 1908
passes out. By these means only can
the portraits be continued another year
Next in line for a mention is the
Rumford Citizen, published at Rum
ford Falls, Maine. In it's issue of March
Goth, the Citizen says, editorially:
"We have received a copy of the
Blue Grass Blade, paper that has
been published in Lexington, KY, for
the past sixteen years, as a four-page
weekly. 1t is now enlarged to sixteen
pages, and is very finely gotten up.
1t seems to be radical sheet on various
subjects, and has the peculiar distinc-
ton of being prohibition paper, pub
lished in the midst of the whisky stills
of old Kentucky. We do not know
whether the prohibition wave that
has swept over the country has given
the paper new life or not, but we con
graduate it upon having fought for
which it deemed right in the past and
hope il will enjoy future prosperity"
The foregoing is an acceptable com
pliment. 1t is true that for years the
Blade enjoyed the distinction of being,
as it's late editor termed it, an infidel
prohibition paper, but under it's present
edit rial control it does not advocate
prohibition, or force, but teaches tenn
perancc as an Individual virture to be
encouraged and maintained. The polit
ical issue of prohibition will then adj
Just itself However, we desire to thank
The editor for the kindly mention made.
and wish him many happy returns of
the day.

BLUE GRASS BLADE.
THE TRIUMPH OF EVOLUTION.

The attitude of the Christian church
towards evolution and it's intolerance
towards the most pronounced advocates
of the doctrine, with its present pre-
sumption in favor of those teachings is
proof positive of its absolute impotency
in the world of intellectual thought and
its inability to grapple with the cos
biological problems that are constantly
being presented.
When evolution was first announced
by Laplace, Humboldt, Lamarck and
other renowned scientists of that age,
even in its then modified form, the
shurchs presented bitter and
open hostility, encouraged by the
INDIGESTION of other scientific think,
ers upon the subject. One by
one, through successive demonstra-
ton and experiment, the greatest minds
OF the world gave evolution their sup
port and encouragement, and the church
was eft alone TO fight it out as best sh.
may. Realising that evolution utterly
shattered the theory of special creation
the church knew that it was facing 4
crisis and that crisis is moro marked
to-day than it was in the past. The
church regarded evolution as a most
deadly enemy, an enemy to her cher
ished traditions, an enemy to biblical
cosmogOny, an enemy that must b, de-
stroyed, an enemy deserving destruc
ton and that destruction essential To
the salvation of the church itself. Now
the leading advocates of orthodox doe
trne are attempting a peaceful corn
promise. They announce an acceptance
of all that evolution implies, and even
insist that it is in perfect harmony with
gods plan and cOnfrmatory of the
bible account of the creation. This
radical change simply proves that an
intOlerant orthodoxy invariably ac-
quires audacity as it grows in strength
and numbers, but it is only the intelli-
gent reaction among the greatest scien-
tific thinkers of the world that has pro-
duced this wonderful transformation.
BY its very nature evolution must be
in direct conflict with special creation.
The bible teaches special creation. If
evolution be accepted by orthodox pro-
fessors then they must, of necessity,
abandon the special creation theory.
This naturally displaces god, for there
is no room in nature for such an UNI
founded hypothesis. Further than this,
if there be a creating god, and this
creating god actually made natural law
he bound himself by the process, for he
is prohibited from producing natural
phenomena by any other medium than

In Russia pits for cock fighting are

Death and Tired Leus.

Alpine climbing, long walking tours
and similar fatiguing recreations may
be suitable enough for those who
keep in training all the year round
but are disastrous for those whose
ordinary exercise consists of a short

of the many mountaineering acct

Hearing" Of "Deaf Mutes."

"Hearing" OF Deaf Mutes."
Contrary to the general belief, near.
ly all deaf people, according to a for
eign scientific magazine, a hear
some sound, but, unlike the normal
ear. the deaf ear hears only very deep
sounds.
1t happens that some Of the lower
animals hear only deep sounds; this
is to be concluded from the fact that
they do not seem to notice any other.
The spider Is of this class; since it
does not possess hearing organs, 1t
must get the sound by a process akin
to touch. If this be the fact, could
not deaf-mutes develop the power to
hear more than they have heard up
to the present time, asks the writer
in the above magazine.
