MANS TRIUMPH OVER THEOLOGY

During the last two centuries has travelled far and
has many fair field from the dominion Of darkness
Man longer dwells in and hollow trees fighting
naked with the wild beasts for his prey the idle sport of
a whimsical and capricious deity. We have encountered
less than oneenth of the twentieth century, and while
hosts of the ignorant still profess claim to believe, with
out knowing why or how, the of the highest
educated opinion in all America openly and fearessly
expressed that has reached the high pinnacle of
being recognized the "avatar of the almighty"
Nor is there be found in this declaration any attempt
pacifcaon of theological dca but it is uttered in
almost spirit of defiance 1t is opinion drawn from the
repeated demonstrations of modern science aided by the
stern facts of history 1t is deduction which makes
science alone the great crucbe wherein all opinions
be tested, deduction that defes the baistae of
theological controversy and the assumed baering
of the pulpteers
This modern acceptance of science has silently crept
into the curriculum of greatest universities and has,
last attained the ultimate without the theoogans being
actually of what taking place. Our university
teachings, in almost every department. from physiology to
psychology matter to mind thoroughly
stepped in methods of science that it is mpossbilty
back. Every passing day brings educators
stronger realization of the fact that system of in
structiOn is complete unless it is made to conform
strictly with scientific methods. The clergy alto
eether nsensbe of this general trend. Modernism in the
Romsh church, and heresy expounders in the Protestant
churches but startling manifestations of this truth
Upon this hypothesis enabled understand
and explain their persistent antagons towards university
instructors and professors who have attempted the
ployment of scientific considerations of those sub
long deemed be entirely beyond its pale Confronted
by such condition. and assuming that all such instructors
could be removed from educational institutions the
latter would be in pitiable plight indeed

Even Republicans are beginning to discuss the ad-

of office at the next general state election with view
of getting things bit cleaned up by new party
Governor Hay, however, is doing noble work in trying
to clean things up and there does not any partc-
uar need of eectng Democrat to office when there
plenty of good and honest Republicans ready and
willing to do the work What is wanted in the state
house is system of running things the same as pri-
vate concern would run business It will be remem-

That the state capitol building of Washington was
more or less infested with sweet nest of poisoned pups
is coming to light more and the exposure light
is being turned on. While the legislature in
sion State Senator R. A. Hutchinson insisted from the
very day that he arrived in the city until he left that
the financial affairs of the state in dozen different
naces were 80 rotten that if touched they would fall to
pieces This official rottenness he claimed began at the
state house and extended to every of the state in
sttutions and in his sweeping accusations the
court was not overlooked Of course Dick as he is
known among the boys not only considered erratc,
but pessimistic Populis and the other members of
the legislature accredited nothing tangible to his pot
cal accusations and they therefore refused to take any
steps which might give him opportunity to verify his
statements, but when he left he shook his head and
said before see you again something will drop in high
Republican circles"

Who will Governor Hay appoint secretary OF state
state and insurance commissioners has areay begun 10
be discussed in political circles. Those who have
watched the investigation proceedings feel absolutely
certain that the governor will be called upon to make
such appointments whether Secretary Nichols and In
surance Commissioner Schvey resign or not they seem
to think the committee has sufficient evidence IN It's
hands even at this writing to justify the legislature
when it is called in extra session to impeach both OF
them If however, they both resign as 1t is very gen
eray believed they WILL then the governor will be call
cd non to fill two very important vacancies at once,
and to an extent he can get idea of how his pro-
posed plan of only the governor and lieutenant govern
or being elected and the appointing all OF the
other officials will work. In case the two men now
under fire refuse to resign and mpeached the nam
ing of new officers will not occur for some months,
while if they resign, the naming OF new officers VIII
take place within the next two weeks.

kane the VETS were ptted against the "drys' and

seem that Spokane has local option tendencies and
yet the voters may not have meant than the elect

between local option and license would vote
for the latter just strongly they did for
a law and order On the local option issue
the Republicans somewhat divided and the Demo-
Gratis too for that matter but the Democrats will
ing to accept anything that is put up to them just to
get the office If they had thought that supporting
wide open policy for Spokane would have given them
the Offices they would have been just as strong that
way they for the other. Coming close to the
expose in Republican official circles the election of
Democrat mayor of the third largest city the state
is rather significant.
