siderable success, particularly in the

Bryan's hostility to the Darwinian
hypothesis rests, as he admits, on his
belief that it conflicts with state
ments in the Bible. Some of the state
legislatures have hardened to him and
actually have prohibited the teaching,
in the public schools, of any theories
that are held to conflict with biblical
history. This is legislation not mere
ly for the direct maintenance of a par
ticular religion, but for official spon-
sorship of particular Interpretation
of that religion. In short, it is plain
union of church and state.-St. Louis

Why Not Stay Till the Show Is Over

Twenty thousand people committed
suicide last year in the United States.
which fact seems to be a reflection
upon our well-ordered life, writes
William Allen White in Judge. 1t
would seem that the great panorama
which history is unfolding before US
day by day, forever reckoning with its
tomorroWs and Turing US with big
events Just around the corner from
today-it would seem chat that grip
ping panorama ought to hold US all
in our seats upon this planet. We
may be hungry, we may be forsaken,
we may be cold, sick, unlovely and
unloved, and yet it would seem that
the daily story of life about US, the
great tragic events that are looming
before US in Europe and in Asia, and
the great comedy that should cramr
our sides with anguished laughter
here in America, should hold us tight
ly upon this planet. Yet 20,020 of US
have voluntarily got up and walked
out, left the show cold and f1at-anC
for what? erhaps they are going tC
the big show, perhaps they are only
going to bed. But they are missing {
mighty good thing, nevertheless. The
spinning world never before has helC
so mlGh to charm the eye and engros
the soul as it holds today.

The Hob Is What You Make Ii.

1t is a common rlisapprehension
that eminence in public place is a
measure Of success or a capital at
tribute Of personal happiness The
most uneasy of the men in the world
are such as are dependent upon the
election Of continuance in their posi-
tons The people, being capricious
and flighty will unseat the mighty on
the most silly pretext-and what is
more pitiful than the memory of emf
nence suddenly terminated? Henry
Ford was correct in his assertion that
he has a bigger and better job than
the presidency. 1t is true as to botn
angles because it possesses continuity
if he is a slayer, not a gutter it is
a life job and gets better and better
until the end A mans job is, of
course, what he makes of it. Henry

An Effort to Unite Church and State

Very few people seem to realize
that w. J. Bryans campaign to have
the teaching of evolution prohibited
by law is nothing less, at bottom, than
an attempt to unite church and state
in this country. That it violates per-
haps the most fundamental of all
American ideas in government does
not deter Bryan and it is not deterring
some others. 1t is an ominous fact
that the campaign has met with con-

Standard viii Keep
Down Oil Purchases

New York, July 5. -Considera-
BILE interest has been manifested
by oil men here in the decision Of
the Standard Oil company of
California to restrict purchases
of crude oil to maximum quanti-
ties specified in contracts with
producing companies.
1t had been the practice OF the
company under normal conditions
to accept all shipments from
wells covered in it's contract, but
in April it was found necessary
to cut off Is per cent of such ex-
cess deliveries.
Last week the company made
a further cut 80 per cent in all
excess deliveries and the present
action restricts all deliveries to
contract maximums.

reasons why his team lost in the

clamations. There was a voluminous
assay of words, when the debaters,
representing the clergy, business and
farming, presented their arguments
for and against this vital issue, fur
nishing good food for thought on the
subject. The debaters were warned
to refrain from personalities, which
they did the best they could and still
