WASHINGTON, March ST am not
disturbed by any criticism made by any
man who thinks he is the descendant
OF an ape. He boasts of ms brute an
cestry, but ii is a peculiar pride and
there are comparatively few who share
IT with him.
When a college professor winds his
intellectual tail round limb OF Oar
wins family tree he naturally looks
down with contempt upon ordinary
people who walk on the ground and are
content TO believe that they were made
in the image In God. But while this.
gives amusement to- the "tree man"
it does not disturb the people, except
when such men take charge of the edu-
cational system of the country and un-
dermine the religious faith Of the chill
dren to their care.
With something like a million specie
of life they have not yet been able to
prove that a single species came from
another.
The fimsy evidence upon which Dar-
whites build their fate would not be
sufficient TO convict person of petty
larceny in any court In the civilized
world. And yet upon this so-called
evidence they repudiate the Bible. Oar
vsinism made an agnostic out OF Dar-
win.
You can silence any Of these wcr-
shippers OF a jungle ancestry by asking
them to put in writing the vital truths
which they reject when they consist
emily apply Darwin's hypothesis TO the
Bible. I have been trying TO get some
OF these insolent guessers 70 answer
the question but they avoid it. IF they
will show how little Of the Bible IS
consistent with Darwinism, the people
will understand the extent to which
they undermine faith with their ridi-
culous guesses.
Thev do not believe in the creation
OF man by separate act as part OF
Gods plan They see no divine purpose
IN mans presence here They exclude
the miraculous and the supernatural as
inconsistent with evolution. They libel
Christ by denying His virgin birth;
they rob Him of His deity and scoff at
his resurrection, in fact, they so belit-
tie Him that they regard the finding Of
the fossil remains Of what they call
five toed horse as more important
event even than the birth Of the Saw
four
When the christian people of this
country understand the ravages Of
aenosticisrn caused by the substitution
oP the unsupported guesses for the word
of Cod they will compel the atheists
ard agnostics TO build their own schools
.., 20 ..sgrr +l,a rfIrfic schools for
the spread of unbelief.
Christians do not object 70 sn- eeach
ing of any truth; no truth can De IN
consistent with Christianity; but they
do object TO fanastic guesses being SUD
ststuted for the thus saith the LORD

Downstairs in the courthouse farmers

The county builds too many roads,

room another group OF farmers were
demanding that certain roads be paved
What to do? What to dor
II the county commissioners deny the
petitions for new roads they will be
charged with being unfair TO that sec
tion of the county.
If they build the roads a howl will
go UP that they are in league with the
road contractors and squandering the
county's money.
The farmers need the roads. So do
the industries and the people of the
north end of the county. Roads cost
money. Sometimes contractors get to-
gether and figure" high but just as
often they fall out one with the other
and under bid. Sometimes contractors
make too much money. Sometimes
they lose money. At any rate Lake
county has the best roads in the state.
But how about the high taxes?
ASK the state commission. That Is
the body that lowers the valuations of
the industries Of the county. Remem-
ber how they cut the Inland Steel Com
pany several million dollars last year?
The county isn't TO blame for that.
Do away with the state tax commission
and the public service commission and
the people will have less to complain
about.
That is the argument the conserva-
tive class OF farmers use to pacify the
fellows who want to blame the county
commissioners.
