vine gave his summary as follows.
Evolution from the germ. followed
to conclusion, shows an angel.
There Is Immortality. The Bible
offers 1t under conditions and the
best science is looking toward It as
tho elimination OF its choicest
dreams. Evolution is one Cf the mas
ter words of the age, and evolution
means more life. The original germ
created by the Divine Thinker became
monera, then pOlyzoa, then through
all the stages u'1 to man. Each change
was made by the constant upward
pressure of life.
THE wheels have started and per-
haps they will not stop. The prim-
ordial germ has become a man. Let
us keep our eye on the process, for
by the same reasoning man becomes
an angel"

CAMPAIGN LIE NAILED

Governor Wilson has led fairly,
honorablel and open life, but he is
not safe from the dirty work Of
the campaign liar. He has been
accused Of becoming a Knight of
Columbus, a Catholic organization.
This is. of course, for the pur-
pose Of turning fanstical Pro-
testants against him. In letter
Vice Chairman McAdoo of the
democratic national committee,
Governor Wilson says:
my attention has been called
to a statement that l have: become a
member of the Knights Of Column
bus. This is, of course, not true.
! have not been asked to join the
order, either as an active or
honorary member, and am not
eligible, becau) e ] am not q
Catholic. must warn my friends
every where that statements OF this
kind are all campaign inventions,
devised to serve special purpose.
This particular statement has been
circulated in selected quarters to
create the impression that am to
identify myself politically with the
Catholic body.
II an a normal man. following
my own natural cour,e with no
thought of playing fayorites aud
am trying to treat every creed and
class with impartiality and respect.
Very sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON,"
