49, The Scopes trial at Dayton has
ended in what was a foregone con.
'clusion, viz; Guilty of an infrac-
ton of the rules appertaining to
the teaching Of evolution in the
Tennessee schools.
Otherwise it has proven nothing
either for or against evolution,
more especially because no evolu-.
tionary evidence was allowed the.
defense. 1t remains for the U. S.
Supreme Court to finally declare.
the Tennessee law unconstitutional
which it undoubtedly is.
Personally | am not altogether
settled in my mind as to the abso-
lutte reliability of evolution as a
solution of the riddle of life. Moth
ing can create itself, therefor there
must of necessity be Creator
and in whatever form that crea-
tive intelligence may be, that is
God.
All life is inter-related or as the
Scripture has it, Man has no pre-
eminence above the beast, they
have all one breath, they all go
unto one place, as one dieth so
dieth the other, in other words as
regards the mere function of iv-
ing, all forms of life are on an
even footing.
The Earth is our mother and the
Sun is our father. We could not
exist without either or both. With
draw the light and heat of the Sun
for short period and all life
would cease. We should be froz-
en- stiff.
| would not for a single moment
that the Supreme Intelligence
could create man or any other
Living thing in moment of time,
or create the world (meaning the
earth) in six days of "a hours.
Geology disproves the latter and
it does not seem reasonable that
Diety with all Eternity to work
in should do such mighty work i'll
such breathless haste.
l hold myself with an open mind
DESTROYS of learning the truth
only. If the findings of scientific
research prove the falsity of cur

A recent investigation made by the
american Electric Railway Associa-
ton indicates that the securities of
the various electric lines In the United
States are held by nearly 100000
people. This estimate is based on re
ports from a group of companies hav-
Ing securities outstanding to the
amount of S2,084,000,0O0. Some of
these companies, however, were doing
combined railway and power bust
ness, so that the security holders could
not be divided into two groups.
The gas industry, begun in this
country when Baltimore streets were
first Illuminated by gas in 1916, has
spread until now the nations various
gas companies have approximately
loo, 900 security holders in business
which today represents an investment
az over four billions of dollars.
