EVOLUTION CARRIES KENTUCKY

From the New York World.
 It's to be evolution in Kentucky after all, for the state assembly has defeated by AZ to Il the Act to prohibit the teaching of Darwin ism atheism, agnorsticsm an devolution as per- taining to the origin of man." Citations from the Declaration of Independence, the federal and state constitutions, the Bible and other high authorities to the contrary notwthstand- ing, the last man voting, finding the question a a tie and the hopes of science-against- Bryan trembling in the balance, came out boldly for science and changed the destiny of his State forever Residents of Kentucky, along with the rest of the human race, may now trace their ancestry as far back they like without vioat- ing law or shocking legislative minds
 To blame the Kentucky Representative alone for the entire affair would be slightly unjust, however, for MT. Bryan had been talking to them, and they were consideraly befuddled with oratory For some weeks after the Bryan address it seems to have been impossible for any of them to distinguish Darwin from Robert Ingersoll the origin of species from dev-worship. It-was all one to them, and in this dazzled condition they drew up bill that covered the whole field.
 , On the day before the measure was reject ed the tracks of huge prehistoric animals, "one of which shows five toes and is eleven inches across" were found not far from the Kentucky capital. This was no doubt old evolution himself, breathing fire, and with horns and tail all completely creeping up on the Sommon- wealth. At any rate, Kentucky is lost to Bryanism by one vote.

 AND ELSEWHERE
DEVELOPMENT MEANS NEW INDUSTRIES

"The development of the port of Mobile means the springing up of additional indus tries, bringing into the state thousands of people who will make Alabama their perma- nent home," said H. K. Milner, chairman Ala bama rivers and harbors commission. "No one will deny that the, building up of Birmingham, the greatest city in the south, brought pros perity to every section of the state. Every farmer knows that the more people we have in the state the better are his opportunities to sell foodstuffs. The nearer he is to the market the more he realize from the sale of his products. The more industries we have the more people there are to be fed.
 "The port amendment to the constitution failed to carry when submitted to the people before because they did not fully understand it. l feel confident that every and woman in Alabama will be favorable to this amendment when it's meaning and importance to peo- pie are clearly understood"

THE AGRICULTURAL BUG

"Not only have more people gotten the az ricultural bug" said c. B. McVay, the vet eran seedsman, Out they have got it on much more intelligent manner than in, past years. Everywhere you 40 you see pure-bred poul- try, hogs and cattle. You see heater yards and houses where live stock is kept.
 "The amateurs have improved as well as those who make their livelihood by the soil. I believe that the greater enthusiasm is largely the result of the intelligence that made folks do things better such as selecting pure-bred stock and improved methods of cultivation.
 "When a man is doing something worth while with worth while instruments he feels an interest in the work and gives it an atten- tion that he would not give to scrub stock and stuff that made poor showing"

THOUGHTFUL THIEVES

"All thieves are not thoughtless, it seems," said Graham Perdue, local attorney yesterday.
 Several nights ago my car, which was parked in front of the Southern club, was stolen. I immediately reported the theft to the police, but heard nothing from it until Monday night, when I was told that car of the same make as mine was out near Trussvile with the tires gone. took another car and some tires out and sure enough we found the car off about 150 yards from the road.
 "The spark plugs, magneto and tires were taken, but the thief or thieves had placed the tire tools neatly on the running board, beside the rims, so that I would have no trouble in putting the new castings on.'

TEXT BOOK REVISION

Several school text books have been revised since the war" said S. o. White of the D. c. Heaton Publishing company, who is stopping over in the city at the Tutwiler. "Not only are the geographies and the histories changed but several books on mathematics are changed.
 "This can be explained as during the war very few new books were issued because of the probability of them being changed after the war. This proved to be true, and the books are now being issued and meeting with a good demand"

ENIGMA

Charles Hanson Towne, in Harper's Magazine. I have known loveliness that broke my heart; Pale aspens through evening wet with
 rain;
 A dusty road whereon the rattling vain Went creaking homeward from some crowded

 A road that wandered like thing apart, And made me dream of lost youth once again. And what of roses with their crimson stain Against a wall that crumbled from the start? I drink all wonder avidly, lest I

UNDERWOOD AND THE TREATIES

From the Washington Star
 One hears this question in the general talk To what extent will the democratic criticism of the treaties now before the Senate impair MT. Underwoods leadership of his party in that body? Why at all?
 The Presidents selection of the Alabama senator as delegate to the armament confer ence was in every way happy.
 CD It testified to the fact that the Presi- dent was seeking no party advantage. MT. Un- derwood, a democrat, would sit with Mr. Lodge,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-03-15

a republican, but neither would sit, or act, party man. Both would weigh and vote on questions from broad American point of view. Both as delegates did so, and both as senators are now justifying from the same point of view their course as delegates.
 CD MT. Underwood was recommended to the President for the assignment by his accomplish ments and position public man. He had at taned distinction, first in the House and then in the Senate, had been balloted for in demo- cratic national convention for President and had come to be classed among the south's most influential contributions to public life since the Civil war. He was conspicuously the man for such work as the President had in mind and to heart.
 How we'll Mir. Underwood met the Presi- dents purposes and expectations is of course, a matter of opinion. The President was sat isfed Mr. Underwood's fellow delegates were satisfied, and he shared in the applause widely bestowed by the world on the fruits of the con- ference's labors.
 Sentiment in the Senate about the treaties shows neither party united. There are repub- licans as well as democrats for and against Some spirited exchanges taking place in the chamber but neither MT. Underwoods de- mocracy nor MT. Lodges repubicanism is at stake, nor can fairly be brought into question.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
IT'S AN OLD STORY

Strongheart lived when men were wilder,
 When the race was fierce and bold; Had great prowess as hunter,
 Tales of his exploits were told Slew the prehistoric monster,
 Ate the meat and wore the hide; Oft in combat grim and bloody,
 By his valor turned the tide. Large his cave and well twas furnished
 In the custom of the time; There the wife of Strongheart's bosom
 Dwelt, matron in her prime Did she cringe before her master,
 Flee his sullen wrath in fear? No, although she clubbed him freely,
 All he said was, "Yes, my dear"

N IN HONOR OF GORGAS AND FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY

HE SAKE OF HUMANE
 The Gorgas memorial campaign, which be- ms today, presents cause to the people of labama which should enlist their sympathy l support. It should hardly be necessary 'waA on che accievements of the man who be honored by the founding of two institu- s that will carry the work by which earned the gratitu ude of humanity.
 When Sir Auckland Geddes, speaking 1tly in Birmingham paved his glowing trib to General Gorgas, it might have appeared a person not familiar with the achievements Aiabama's distinguished son that the British lbassador exaggerated. But such was not case. There have been great conquerors the worlds history whose exploits have mortalized them and sent their names ringing the corridors of time Yet few of these wAre benefactors to humanity. Instead they Jeff bloodshed and ruin in their wake. Theirs was the triumph of personal ambition. General GofSas was conqueror of another type. He fought disease. lHe destroyed some of the worst foAafksgss.sn @ ms;.Slnd, brought new hope and happiness and increased produc- : r>ness to lands where for centuries the lives sshillions of people had been sacrificed and z.u.r. progress retarded by tropical diseases. Is not worth while to cherish such man in >.eful memory and to honor him in the way es would have most desired by perpetuating ! widening the scope of his work? There ..e only one answer to that question.
 The people of the United States and of Cen al and South American countries are uniting found an institute in Panama for research tropical diseases and school of sanita- ,n at Tuscalopsa, which will be fitting me- norials to Gendral Gorgas. Sentiment, grati- ude and businass foresight all plead strongly for the people of Alabama to do their share to make these projects success, particularly the ho51x of sanitation, which will be the only ,oci of its kind in the world, and will train fly needed health workers. By banishing s;e fever epidemics from the south General
 added countless millions to it's wealth,
 xed frequent paralysis of business and
 sed farm production and the efficiency
 iustrial workers.
 ne Gorgas school of sanitation will re-
 Alabama in dividends of better health | the savin gof human life. It will be the st kind of investment, if wish to put it that basis. The endowment of between $1,- 1000 and $2,000,O00 of which Alabamians expected to contribute one-thrd, is small apared to the great benefits the school will ng to this state and to the south.
 sresent conditions should not influence con- ions to the Gorgas memorial. Business Improve and subscriptions may be made It basis. Cash will be accepted, of course, e amount subscribed may be paid in five i annual installments, or a note may be to mature in five or ten years, bearing in- sst at per cent.
 The Gorgas memorial gives Alabamians an Unprecedented opportunity to profit in ma- Sterfal way and to honor man who has truly < been called one of the worlds greatest bene- factors.
