cause he is a big-hearted man who is

trampling it in the mud. And they

sold their honor, their souls and their

EVOLUTION. - A passion for
knowledge seems to have grown
among the people; great Change
has taken place; all leading thinkers
and investigators are now working
along material lines. This earth is
only a small speck of nature. By
evolution we shall arrive at the goal
where we shall see the true character
of nature Evolution means change,
and it is based upon substance.
There is no matter without force and
no force without matter The highest
variety of human species has been
produced by the laws of transforma-
ton, evolution and development.
Therefore only one kind of world is
possible, a material world. An i'm
material world is an insanity.
The metaphysicians have had their
days and have done nothing but con-
fused. 1t remains, therefore, for ma
terialism to give light to the world.
The real object of the orthodox
church is to stop the great avalanche
of science and to perpetuate the mod
flied superstitution of barbarous
ages, the natural offspring of mans
primitive ignorance. It is true that
in some isolated instances some peo-
pie will still insist in the most off
hand manners of defending fanati-
cism, but in spite of them progress
goes on, for heretics rise up every
where and dispute old theologies that
are being riddlied and sifted and
shaken into fragments.
In the old times the people looked
to the clergy for knowledge; the edu-
Gated of this generation pay little or
no attention to what they say. There
fore, if we attack superstition, it is
because we regard it an enemy of the
human race. 1t was the evolution Of

NEWS WRITER'S ARE
EXEMPT FROM ARMY

Correspondence of The
Associated Press. The war office has
refused to exempt from army service
a great many newspaper men and wo
men who has been designated by the
Newspaper PrOprietors' association at
London as essential to the work OF
publishing the local papers.
Art editors, photographers and
dark room operators are not consid-
cred as editorial staff employees by the
war Office and it refused to exempt
them from military service. The same
ruling was applied to all society edi-
tors, fiction editors, sporting editors
and headline writer's. Sub-editors
copy readers were for some unex-
planned reason considered more essen
tial to the papers than any Of the
other members of the stats.
The general principle TO be fol-
lowed" the war Office ruled, lis that
the men TO be exempted are serving
some vital purpose during a time of
war"
Many of the leading London papers
were careful to publish notice read
ing like this: 1T should be mentioned
that the editor of the London Blank
has not applied for exemption or post
pOnement of service in any case of any
war age man on the editorial staff"
