The truth will prevail. Forty
prominent American scholars, leaders
| both of orthodox religious thught and
| of scientific learning unite in declar-
| ing that "the world do move" and Is
| not fiat, nor sustained on the back of
| an Atlas standing upon nothing. The
| strange feature OF the situation is
| that there are men Of brains, and
! acumen in other directions. who have
| to be told authoritatively that there
| is no conflict between intelligent re-
| ligious doctrines and pure science
Whatever may appear to be contra
! dictory becomes the strongest kind
/ OF confrma tion, the one of the other,
when rightly understood, according
| to the slgners of this statement
| The heavens declare the glory Of
God. and the armament showeth His
| handiWork."
! The present talk among republicans
| around the Capitol is to the effect
| that the Senate may lose one more
republican seat. The successorship to
| the late Senator Nelson of Minnesota
was originally expected to fall TO
governorship. so that Lieut. Gov. Col
lins would succeed him. and then Gov.
Collins would appoint Mr.. Preuss SEN
ator That program was upset by the
! argument that a federal law required
/ the senators to he elected by the pen-
pie, although lawyers in Minnesota do
not agree that such a law by Con
gress could interfere with the states
right to choose her senators as she
sees fit. However. Gov. PreusS evil
| IDENTIFY thought that 1t would be detrl-
mental to his permanent political
future to construe the disputed law
in favor of his own appointment.
| He has called a special election. to
/ be held in June. That has brought
out a number of senatorial candidates
besides himself. These include Mag
nus johnson, the farmer-labor candf-
date. who almost beat Gov. PreuSs
for the governorship at the time Sem
ator Shipstead. farmer-labor (dentist)
candidate. beat Senator Kellogg. There
are other candidates who are rot
strong conservative republicans. in

Mr.. Frank H Vanderlip. the inter
| national banker, says that there are
| too many farmers in America and
| that if more farmers would move
| into the cities it would tend to equal
ize the division of population and
| of supply and demand 1t would. nat
! urally. increase the consumers cost
for food, since the demand would he
| increased and the supply reduced. It
! would tend to lower wages in in
! dustries for the same reason Per
| haps that is the end desired by Mr..
| Vanderlip.
| In the meanwhile. the government
| policy seems to be to expand farm

mostly to homeSteaderS. amounting to
! the grand total of l2,9G4S21 acres.
! That is an expansion of farm area
/ equal to the three states of Connecti-
