Science

Present opposition to scientific
teachings of the law Of evolution is
nothing new. All durable truths
that have come into the world within
historic times have been opposed and
every individual who has welcomed
and advocated them has been de-
nounced and sometimes punished as
an enemy Of the race.
1t is the history Of all scientific
discoveries, excepting only those for
use in warfare, which generally are
accepted when proved practical,
that they are bitterly opposed at
first and are endorsed only after
years Of opposition.
The greatest opposition of modern
times has been aimed at Darwin,
Huxley, Herbert Spencer and their
associates. This has diminished
with the years, but is still strong
enough to make the principles which
they established in science one of
the chief arguments of the civil
lied world. A revival of opposition
to this group Of leaders is now in ex-
istence and has resulted in many bit
ter controversies, many resolutions
of assembled partisans and attempts
at legal suppression Of scientific
teachings.

WASTING NJ LIFE

IT1HE public service commission has reported on two of the
l three tragic interurban and railroad wrecks in Indiana
during the last few months. In both cases it was found that
block signals were not in operation.
In the case of the Union Traction Company it was found the
block signals were not working. This was held to be at least
partly to blame for the Fortvile wreck, in which eighteen per-
sons were killed. In the case of the Roanoke wreck on the
Indiana Service Corporation line, it twas found that no block
signals had been installed. Five persons were killed in this
crash.
The duty of the State and of the railroad companies is
clear. The companies should be required to install block signals
on ALL lines Immediately. The commission should see that
these signals are working ALL the time.
1t is almost inconceivable that a traction line should not
take every possible precaution to protect its passengers. 1t is
equally strange that the State should permit them to operate
without taking these precautions.
If the present law is not strong enough to force the com
panies to take these precautions, it should be strengthened i'm
mediately. If the companies are not in a position to provide rea-
SOnable safeguards for their passengers, they have no business
operating.
Persons responsible for failure to provide these safeguards
are guilty of the worst kind Of neglect. Even a stronger term
might be applied.

pee, but they were dropped for want
of proof.
Then the Socialist newspapers took
up the cry and just when Coppee
was getting ready to sue them for
libel, the state itself took new action
against the magnate. 1t was claimed
that new documents, left behind by
the Germans when they evacuated
Belgium, had given the government
damaging evidence.
The act of accusation in the pres
ent trial consumed three days of
solid reading. 1t consisted Of $50
pages of printed text, which set
forth the allegations that COppee
kept his furnaces and retorts work
ing full time during the war; that
he delivered benzol, coal tar and oils
to the Germans by thousands of
tons, and that he acted freely, volun-
tarily and knowingly.
The State admits that the Ger
mans could have requistioned the
materials manufactured by COppee,
but alleges that he intensified his
production, perfected his methods
and increased his plant.
Increased Power
Not only does the State charge
that the Coppee deliveries were used
in making poison gases and shells,
but also in running airplanes and
submarines. Thus, it claims, the
Germans saw their military power
increased by reason of Belgian ben
zols.
Coppee has already indicated part
of his defense:
/. That the Germans were all pow
erful in Belgium and could requisi-
ton anything they pleased, enforc-
ing it's delivery.
?. That deliveries he made were
supposed to remain in Belgium for
the benefit of Belgians.

who was Belgian prime minister at

AS the United States Senate the right to inquire into the
L l acts performed by executive officials of the Government !?
That is the question the Senate has voted to take before
the Supreme Court. A Federal judge in Ohio ruled that the
Senate had no right to inquire in the affairs of Harry Daugh-
erty, late attorney general. Judge Cochran based his decision
largely on the ground that Daugherty is no longer in Office and
hence the right of the Senate to investigate his record has ended
In voting by the overwhelming majority of 10 to 2 to appeal
from this decision, the Senate took the stand that regardless
of Daugherty's present status, the power to study his record
while he was in Office has not lapsed.
Were Judge Cochrans decision to be upheld it would mean
that a corrupt public executive could prevent and Illustrate in
vestigation at the hands Of the legislative branch of the Govern
ment by the simple expedient of handing in his resignation.
Had that been the recognized order of the day, the Senate
could never have Investigated Charles Forbes of Veterans
Bureau rehown nor Alkali Al Fall of Teapot Dome fame. Both
these officials resigned, or at least left Office, long before the
Senate had an opportunity to study their executive acts.
