LARDNER WEEKLY LETTER

To the Editor;
Not more than I or years ago
there was great excitement in the
state Of FLORIDA when a car come
along with a Tennessee license or
some other place way up north and
everybody wondered who the folks
was that had all that nerve and pa
tients to make such a long trip and
how long it had took them and etc.
In those days the auto routes between
the northern states and Florida was
so bad that they wouldn't nobody
undertake such a trip unless they was

North, Range 4 east I find that the
deed which you have rendered the
City of Phoenix on this option calls
for a different piece of ground than
described in the option. This is not
satisfactory to the commission which
has rejected the deed and instructed
me to take such steps as may be nee
essary to procure a sufficient deed
to the property bargained for. This,
I take 1t, in event Of your failure to
deliver your deed for the optioned
premises. would be by action for
Specific Performance or by way OF
condemnation proceedings under the
provisions OF Title XIII OF the Revised
Statutes of Arizona, Civil Code. for
1919.
I am enclosing herewith Warranty
Deed for the premises described In
the option which please execute and
return to me as soon as you con-
veniently can.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) JAMES e. NELSON,
Assistant and Acting City Attorney
Upon consultation with my attor-
neys, / was advised to deliver this
land to the city without further de-
lay and the deed for the same was
subsequently, delivered to the city
and the money was paid to me.
BY reason of a little difficulty in
volved in the delivery Of q clear title
to this land. due to the existence of
some mortgages. there was few
months unavoidable delay in the de-
livery Of the deed.
It will readily pe seen from the
foregoing facts that the sale of my
land to the city of Phoenix was not
consummated with any idea OF per-
sonal profit or gain through this
transaction, and that the scurrilous
paragraph contained in the yellow
campaign literature now being cir
culated is entirely without founda-
ton in truth or logic.
I make this statement only for the
purpose OF showing the real facts of
the transaction.

Our Mexican Relations

If it were left to the people Of the country at
large we suppose they would favor the recognition
Of the Mexican government regardless OF the pro-
visions of the new Mexican constitution which de-
nrives several we may say many, and yet compare
+,xaIv few Americans Of acquired rights there.
1snecialIv is the sentiment in favor of recognition
along the border strong It is in the border gone

MR.. KORRICK REPLIES
TO YELLOW PERIL
To The Republican:

To The Republican:
A yellow folder is now being cir
culated among the voters OF Phoe-
nix in the interest Of certain candi-
dates for municipal election. which
contains paragraph that desire
to publicly brand as a contemplate
falsehood. While this paragraph has
been phrased with a careful regard
for the consequences following the
publication of libelous statement,
the inference that it was intended
to convey is based on a distinctly
false and malicious premise.

Evolution in Chicago

The city of Chicago famous for its packing in
dustry and at certain seasons the conflict between
the winds Of the wide prares and those of the Great
Lakes has allowed itself become "an het up"
the theory OF evolution. Or, properly not the merits
Of the theory, but whether evolution shall become
subject OF study in the schools further to perpex the
young Chcagonese, already harried by curriculum
which some Of the residents of the packnghouse dis
trict. think is too long.
We think that those who are trying to suppress
the study evolution the that does not
tend to increase ones fitness for financial COM
merciaI or packinghouse career, is wrong. II we
learned nothing except what may be thought neces-
sary to lit for certain narrow inches in life, we
would remain ignorant indeed All learning would
be where 1t was in the dark ages, confined to the
cloistered few.
1t will not be necessary to undertake develop
In the Chicago schools the theory of evolution to
carry it farther than has ever been carried and
to exhume hitherto hidden truths to add to the few
suspected truths which have been uncovered since
Aristotle Cor was it EmpedoclesD began digging, and
whose work has been supplemented by such eminent
excavators as Linnaeus. Huxley Asa Gray and the
Darwins from whom we have heard of the theory of
descent the origin of species, vestigal structures,
and lot of other things which have helped to make
life worth living and which have given pleasure
moderated only by pity compassion for our remote
forbears who did not know that they were being
eyouted.
Evolution in the schools therefore becomes not
scientific but historical study. a history of the
theory of evolution, much part Of the history
branch Of education as our study of the movements
OF people is the study of history. The latter is
record Of wars and political, economic and social
development.
AS to evolution itself the interest of most Of us
in 1t has been only detached and curious one much
the same as interest in things generally which
we do not understand. We not disputing the
doctrine that somewhere in the line of our descent
was monkey and stin farther back tadpole and
still more honorable protoplasm for the
more remote the ancestry the more honorable.

for pleasure or to supply the home
table with squads. Welnicks market
advises us that there is a good DE-

practically all the year from August
TO April or May. During the early
summer, broilers are cheap as this IS
the season when there are many sur
