which he says written before the days Of Abraham
According to this ancient record says the Oxford man.
Noah was the custodian of Garden of Eden and
commanded to refrain from eating the fruit Of the cas-
sa tree the penalty for dsobedience being that he would
be an unhealthy Individual and would die early instead
OF living to be fifty thousand years old, the

ADAM made boss of the Garden Of Eden because he
was the first man. how could he have ancestors who
lived to be fifty thousand years old? And, again, with
only the training of tier Of the SOIL is it likely that
he could build the good ship known The Ark and pilot
it safely through the flood for forty days and forty
nights? And furthermore Is there the slightest prob
ability that he would deliberately violate the command
without being tempted to do so by woman? And there
are other questions that will suggest themselves to those
who doubt this new version of the trouble in the Garden
of Eden.
Indeed, 1t is than likely that the skeptics VIII

pose was to relieve Eve of the odium connected with
Adams accusation that she tempted him. and incidentally
of the inference that she was so weakminded that

Editorial Comment

GRAIN RATES

The Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion has postponed until February
from August 13 the consideration of
the application Of the railways for an
advance of rates on grain for export.
After the commission has taken up
the matter it will be weeks certainly,
perhaps months before a decision is
rendered. There are two reasons why
this delay Is undesirable. 1t is OBJ.
vious that a great deal of grain will
have moved between now and next
March. If it is right that the rates
should be advanced, they ought 10 be
advanced before the movement is ap.
preaching its end. II 1t is not right
that rates should be advanced, that al
so ought TO be known sooner, for the
rates on export are part of the price
of grain. The fixing of a rate is a
matter Of business discretion upon
which competent men OF business
would make decision in a week. No

REAL DANGER

Never since the outbreak Of the
great war was there more need for
caution and circumspection at Wash
ington than at the present moment.
President Wilson must be completely
on the guard lest an honest desire
to assist in restoring peace IN Europe
may lead him into a grave and costly
blunder. There is not the smallest
chance Of a restoration OF enduring
peace in Europe now. Any peace
patched up would not mean real
peace, but the victory of Germany.
No conceivable basis agreement could
fail to take cognizance of the great
ConQuests Of Germany in Europe, and
any such recognition would be peril
GUS to the future Of all the nations
now allied against the Germans.-N.

FRYE CASE RAcknomN.

Our State Department, in plain
English, has backed down completely
from the preposterous position which
it undertook to maintain in the Frye
case. This was nothing more nor less
than a boomerang proposition that,
because the German government had
bound itself in special treaty with
the United States not to destroy
American property on the high seas,
German war vessels were thereby
obliged not to stop contrabrand in
American bottoms from reaching an
enemy, although this is fundamental
right of every power at war, no less
than a national duty.-N. Y. Press.
