That Blasting Evolution.

Honorable William Jennings Bry-

citizen who, inspite OF endless abuse,
still stands in the front rank Of
Americas greatest and best men
has recently paid his tribute of re-
spect to Darwinism, as taught In
many public schools and colleges OF
our country. While delivering an ad-
dress in Springfield, ILL.,, on May
End, he said;
Teachers and professors In schools
supported by public money, are turn

starless night. robbing them of their
faith In immortality and a Heavenly
Father and substituting cold, clam

TO mere man and gives him an ape
for an ancestor. The Darwin theory
is not scientific. II Is wilder fiction
than the Arabian nights"
The Editor of "The Kings Bust
mess" in commenting on Mr.. Bryan's
statement says
"This would he an appropriate mes
sage to read In all our grade schools,
colleges aud seminaries, and would
not be amiss in many OF our churches.
II has always been q mystery TO us

Darwin who loved to think of his an

branches of trees, talking in an IN

could have found such a foothold in
the minds Of supposedly intelligent
people. No wonder that Paul says, by

FOR IMPROVED AUTOMOBILE
TRAFFIC,

The city Judge in his concentrated
and conscientious drive to have the
city traffic laws implicitly enforced.
should receive the full cooperation
of everyone.
Unanimous demand is constantly
being made for an improvement of
automobile traffic here. 1t was a
plank of the new city administration
platform. Thinking people want to
take a stitch in time and prevent ac-
cidents, that are sure to occur If
the careless observance of traffic
rules continues and that have oc-
CURED because of this. Automobile
men realize that growing popularity
of the motor car, depends much on
the safety and convenience of it's
use. Only the reckless and foolish
insist upon the inalienable right o,
careless driving and disregard Of
traffic laws
But TO only continue to complain
of the way automobiles arr driven
here, and to not cooperate in i'm
proving the traffic, will not bc of
the best avail. If Paris wants lawfui
and sensible traffic, that is What
she will have, but her citizess will
in that case assist in traffic law IN
forcements.
No one can expect any discrimina

carefully explained. One man can't
think he can run without a back

IL you want traffic here improved

several ways that you know you
can, by not breaking the regulations
