ance of this struggle and expect that
it can lead to the separation of the
revolutionary "Darwinist" (and MARX.

geoisie. Amongst the bourgeois and
petty bourgeois partisans of Darwin
ism there will be found only very
insignificant number of thoroly con.
sequental Darwinists, capable Of as
similating the atheistic and anti
religious deductions which flow out
of Darwinism. The overwhelming
majority of the bourgeois and petty
bourgeois Darwinists do not wish to
split with the dear old god. They
would wish only to "rejuvenate" him
and to make him more modern. A
typical sample of such petty bourgeois,
semi arwinists, semi-believers,o is

He begins his interview with "a
statement that "He does not dispense
with god. On the contrary, he sees
science coming to accept the idea of
god thru all nature" But the old
Jewish god (the special patron of the
Jews) does not appeal to the profess
sor. For our times he is antiquated.
1.-THE enormous enlargement in the
reach of things" states the profess
sor, must be accompanied by an en-
largement of the idea of god" In what
then consists this enlargement of the
idea of god" in the opinion of the
respectable scientist? In the follow
ing: 1--WE had a monarchial god. Now
let us look at the republican god"

Chamberlain, 1t is necessary to make
the following quotations from his in

able clarity. A cowardly Darwinist
has given out the secret of all the
modern offensive against Darwinism
and has thrown open the political
secret of all this savage campaign.
This campaign is being aimed directly
against that spirit of criticism which
is awakening in the American prole-
tartan revolution in our country is i'm
possible.
Our proletariat begins to throw off,
under the influence of the revolution
airy events of the last decade, many
of it's old traditional viewpoints, it
begins to criticize the existing social
system. (And yet Marx said that every
criticism begins with the criticism of
religion.) This is the greatest danger
threatening our bourgeoisie.
Hence this fury which we observe
during the last weeks in the struggle
against the theory of evolution. This
struggle represents a new way of re-
action, aimed at the beginning of
revolutionary rising of the proletariat.
The rejuvenated republican god'' is
needed by Prof Chamberlain for the
struggle against Soviet Russia, and
against the revolutionary movements
Of our proletariat. The discussion be-
tween Prof. Chamberlain and the anti
evolutionist is essentially a discussion
as to what are the best measures for
the suppression of the proletariat
revolution. Prof. Chamberlain is for
a republican" god, because the spirit
of democracy inherent in such a god
will be a better means against the
revolutionists than the spirit of re-
action" defended by the anti-evolu-
tionists and which is inherent to the
old Jewish god" Precisely in this
question lies the political center of
gravity Of the entire dispute between

TN the camp of the American bour-
4 geoisie a struggle is raging around
the Darwinian theory Of evolution. In
the bourgeois newspapers of all
shades of opinion discussion is 60
ing on concerning the origin of ami
mails and man, concerning the origin
of earth, of god, of religion, of the
Bible and the New Testament. Learn
ed professors, clergymen and bishops,
cartoonists and journalists, reporters,
interviewers and foreign correspond
ents, even statesmen, finally even
judges, are modified for this discus
sion.
Even the old man Darwin, himself,
/ is not left in peace. Lord Northcliffe
who has died few years ago and who
was during his life the kingsof the
English bourgeois press (this main
instrument for misleading and de-
ceiving the masses)-has sought out,
as reported by the Chicago Daily
Tribune in the other world, Darwin
and upon instruction of the latter has
communicated with the outer world
that after few discussions in heaven
on the theory of evolution, Darwin
convinced himself that (the ape is the
anti-thesis of mani "the evolu-
ton theory is wrong" Apparently
Darwin, as well as Nortcliffe, con-
tinue to occupy themselves in the
other world with the same affairs as
they did upon earth. The first one,

ond with newspaper reporting.
The bourgeoisie has become divided
into two parts the evolutionists and
the anti-evolutionists, both sides gath
ering their forces for the struggle Ma
tional leagues are being formed of the
evolutionists and the anti-evolution-
lists. Meeting and lectures are being
arranged. Strategic positions in the
press are being conquered. In one
word, the struggle is assuming an
| imposing character and the general
battle is forthcoming in an American
court between the evolutionists and
the anti-evolutionists. In other words,
this theoretical" struggle is clearly
assuming the character of a political
struggle between two sections of the
bourgeoisie and it becomes sharper
with every day.
THE working class cannot remain

First of all, because the split in the
camp of the enemy is weakening the
strength of the latter and is increas-
ing the latteFs chances in the strug-
gle for its class interests. 1t is neces-
sary to study the enemy and his

THREE MINERS

BY AUGUST VALENTINE.
Worker Correspondent

,NANTICOKE, Pa, July o. Just as
the employees of the Mineral Spring
Collery No. 5 of the Lehigh aVlley
Coal company at Parsons, were about
to go to work at their various places,
theye were struck by runaway cars.
Three miners were instantly killed
and two others were seriously injur-
ed. The men, were waiting to be
hauled up the slope as the cars came
tearing and ripping down the grade.
1t took the miners a great deal of time
to lift the cars off of the mangled
bodies. ,.E
No Way to Escape Provided.
Had the coal company made man
holes in the ribs so the men could
get out of the way, the accident could
have been easily avoided. But all
this costs money. It's less expensive
to have first aid teams, volunteers
in most cases. to give help to the
slaves than toll for them.
The capitalistic sheet blew its full
steam praising the first aid team and
the physicians that were rushed to

killed. Nothing was mentioned that

was that when the cars turned loose

forces of their possible military
enemies. 1t would be very important,
for example, to determine what part
of our bourgeoisie exactly stands for
Darwinism and what part against, and
also to clarity whether this struggle
which has fiared up unexpectedly" is
not a manifestation of the former
divisions within the bourgeoisie,
whether this struggle does not merely
represent new form Of the old strug-
gle "for third party" new rising
Of the LaFollette petty bourgeoisie
or of its biologists against the old
parties, or a new offensive of the lat
ter against the LaFollette farmer-la-
Dor masses, and also against the Com

Indeed, Darwinismi is a part of the
Communist conception ofthe universe.
That what Marx hasgaccomplished in
relation to the human society, Darwin
has accomplished in relation to the
animal world. Marx has discovered
the laws of the human society, Oar
win has discovered the laws Of evolu-
ton of the animals and plants. The
revolutionary significance of Marxism
and Darwinism is enormous. Darwin
has overturned god and the eternal

THE matter Of methods OF the sup

the most important matter for the
bourgeoisie of all countries. Precise
" in that question lies the essence OF

Our proletariat has always suffered
from an extreme theoretical backward
ness. in comparison with the prole-
tariat of the European countries and
particularly with the Russian .prole-

is drawing our workers into the
sphere Of theoretical questions.

concentrated practice of the prole-

science of proletarian struggle, with
out which the arch of the proletarian
struggle is impossible and now, when
the very march of events has tied up
the theoretical (scientiic) questions
with the practical (politicaD and had
made the study Of theory a practical
necessity the further indifference to
the theoretical questions becomes an
intolerable crime.

member of our party individually,
must place in the center of their at

put broadly the study of theory.

before the party stands also another
immediate practical political task.
