BIGOTRY IN KENTUCKY
(Contributed.)

NOOHtI lDotcu.J
There is bill now pending before
, the Kentucky Legislature making it q
criminal offense to teach any theory
Of evolution which derives man from
the lower animals, or any other form
of life, or (which eliminate God as
the creator Of man by direct crea-
tive act" The use Of all scientific
textbooks supporting such evolution
airy doctrines is barred from the pub
lie schools, colleges and universities.
Any violation Of the proposed law will
draw fine Of not less than $50 nor
more than $1,000, and a sentence OF
imprisonment If the fine is not paid.
Strange to say, this bill was not in
troduced Is piece of humor, but -
the result Of serious propaganda,
and has considerable support. Ger
tain Of the Kentucky clergy are
shouting for the passage of the bill,
and William J. Bryan has appeared
before the two houses Of the General
Assembly and made vigorous speech
in behalf Of the measure. In his speech
Mr.. Bryan proved what probably no
intelligent man would think Of deny
ing. He demonstrated that all the
text books on geology, zoology, bot
any and anthropology used in the
state university of Kentucky, and in
the high schools Of the state, supports
the doctrine of evolution. He then
told the legislature that "there was
not single fact in nature that sup
ports evolution" and that, inasmuch
as it is contradictory to the Bible, it's
in the public schools ought
to be prohibited by criminal statute.
A certain man has written an open
letter to inquire how many of "the
facts of nature" Mr.. Bryan knows,
and suggesting that he take simple
written high school examination in
he common branches of natural
science to demonstrate his fitness to
overthrow the experts on these sub
ects. The open letter also calls at
ention 10 the fact that the Bible
caches the special creation, not only
# man, but Of the whole animal world
the bedbug and the mosqui-
o, and reverently offers the sugges-
ion that the proposed law ought to
e amended so as to make it crime
0 teach that the bedbug had any an
estors not entitled to as much res
ect as the present generation of bed
ugs.
David Starr Jordon, of Leland
tanford University, states that the
octrine Of evolution is accepted and
lught in the scientific world to the
sme extent as the doctrine Of gravi-
.tion." And President McVey, of the
University of Kentucky, with refer
ace to the proposed law, appeals to
Iinisters and educators Ito speak
ut and stop the outrage on free
.ience and free teaching"

does. But more careful thought con-
vinces him that he couldn't do any
thing of the kind that ten chances p
one he would make miserable failure
of it.
For that reason the editor has
sought to refrain from attempting to
tell the farmers how to farm, prefer
ring rather to cheerfully pay his part
LOT the taxes necessary to engage a
county agent, horticultural inspectors
and other expert advisors; to open
his columns freely to the Farm Bur-
eau, the Grange, the cooperative as
sociations and other organizations
whose members know, or should know,
what they are talking about; and to
maintain in each rural neighborhood
correspondents whose writings are
OF, and from the farm.
For the articles which have to do
with "ladies' entertainments" and
"kid parties" the editor has no apol-
ogies to offer. Mr.. Wray is bachelor.
He has buried himself in the details
of his business. He works hard and
plays little or none. Some day there
may be wife to set his home in ord
er, to cheer, ard hearten, and help
him in his work, and Riddles to bless
and brighten his home, and make life
real. Until then, perhaps, he will new
er fully appreciate that after all is
said and done a community's worth is
not measured in terms of acres and
apple trees; that vastly more import
ance than the scions in the nursery
where trees bud and grow are the
scions in the nursery where children
prattle and play; that though fields
are crop-laden, though orchards bios
som and fruit, though the land yield
fullfold, the community We're as a
barren waste did not the ladies enter
tain and the kiddies have parties.

PRAYERS FOR SATAN

Mark Twain, portion of whose un-
published autobiography appears in Har-
bers writes of his mother, that cher in
terest in people and dumb animals was
warm, personal, friendly. She always
found something to excuse, and as rule
to love, in the toughest of them-even if
she had to put it there herself. She was
the natural ally and friend of the friend
less. 1t was believed that Presbyterian
as she was, she could be beguiled into say
ing soft word for the devil himself; and
so the experiment was tried. The abuse
of Satan began; one conspirator after
another added his bitter word, his malign
reproach, his pitiless censure, till at last,
sure enough, the unsuspecting subject OF
the trick walked into the trap. She adj
mitted that the indictment was sound: that
Satan was utterly wicked and abandoned,
just as these people had said but would
any claim that he had been treated fairly?
A sinner was but sinner; Satan was just
that, like the rest. What saves the rest
their own efforts alone? Moor none
might ever be saved. To their feeble ef-
forts is added the mighty help of pathetic,
appealing, imploring prayers that 60 up
daily out of all the churches in Christen-
dom and out of myriads upon myriads of
plying hearts. But who prays for Satan!
Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the
common humanity to pray for the one sim
ner that needed it most, our one fellow
brother who most needed friend yet had
not single one, the one sinner among us
all who had the highest and clearest right
to every Christians daily and nightly
prayers for the plain and unassailabe rea-
son that his was the first and greatest
need, he being among sinners the su-
prcmest?"

Three things to despise-cruelty, arro-

Instead they will enter an elevator to be
quickly hoisted in shaft cut through
solid granite, and step out on Glacier
Point at an elevation of 7,240 feet above
sea level, according to an announcement
recently made by the Federal Director of
the national park service at Washington.
In spite of the fact that Glacier Point is
one of the most majestic high places in all
the world, very few of the countless thou
sands of visitors to the national park have
stood thereon. This is due to the reason
that the trip to it necessitates a climb up
the face of cliff on stairway cut in
the rock, or a dangerous mountain road
with grades up to "a per cent, that practi-
cally wears out complete set of tires. Be-
cause of the high elevation of the road it
is blocked with snow during large part
of the year, making it possible to oper-
ate the Glacier Point hotel only during the
summer months. The elevator service
through the cliff will enable travellers to
reach Glacier Point quickly and easily,
and at any time of the year. According to
the director this elevator was planned
several years ago, but the actual con-
struction was regarded as an almost i'm
possible feat of engineering The Govern
ment, however, refused to abandon the
idea and recently closed contract with
mining engineer for the construction of
the shaft. Work is to begin at once, and
it is expected that the elevator will be in
actual operation within year.-Ex.

Hands," said I, "and I'll blow your brains
out!" l saw his right hand 60 up over
his shoulder, something sang like an arrow
through the air, and l was pinned to the
mast-both my pistols went off and es-
capped from my hands, but they did not
fall alone with a choking cry the cox
swain loosed his grasp and plunged down
head first, and l saw him through the
clear water, lying on the sand beneath.
found that l was held simply by the
skin of my arm, and pulling myself free,
I finally got ashore, and with difficulty
reached my friends. They had had some
fierce battling with the mutineers, but in
the end flag of truce appeared and Sill
yer came forward to bargain. The doctor,
much to the surprise of all, gave him the
chart; but this was explained later, for
when they dug for the treasure and reached
the bottom of the cache, nothing was found
but broken pick and board with the
word "Walrus" burnt into 1.-THE name
of Flint's ship
Ben Gum was the real hero. Early in
his stay on the island he had come upon
the treasure, and with great difficulty
transported it to cave and hidden it,
seven hundred thousand pounds in minted
money of all nations, besides heavy bars
of gold.
The doctor had wormed the secret out
of Ben Gum and then arranged to give
the chart to Silver, knowing that the cache
was empty.
We piled the treasure aboard the ship,
set sail and finally reached port on the
Mexican coast, where we added to our
crew.
After good voyage we reached home
just as friends of the squire were about
starting out in search of the Hispaniola.
