Judge Neal Says

The question is not whether evo-
luton is true or untrue, but involves
the freedom Of teaching. Or, what
Is more important, freedom of learn
ing.
AS we see it, the great question is
whether the Tennessee legislature
has the power to prevent the young
MINDS of Tennessee from knowing
what has been thought and said by
the worlds greatest scientists, and
thus to prevent them from forming
their own judgment in regard to
questions Of life and science.
We regard 1t as equally un-Ameri-
can and, therefore, unconstitutional
whether it is kingly or ecclesiastical
authority or legislative power. that
would attempt to limit the human
mind in its inquiry after the truth.

SPECIAL WORKERS
MAY GET RATING
Emergency U. S. Employees
May Have Names Put on
Civil Service List.

A step long sought by more than
1000 emergency workers on the pay
roll of number of Government de-
partmentS and independent eStab-
ishments-placing their names on
the classified Civil Service list, en-
titling them to all the rights of per-
sons who have passed the civil serv-
ice eXamiEations-toda appears
probable, with announcement by the
Civil Service Commission that it con-
templates asking the President to is
sue an executive order giving these
employees full civil service status.
The number of Government work
erS to be affected by this change in
status is something over 1000, a re-
cent poll showing nearly 1900 en-
ployes, mostly in the Government
Printing Office and the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, who were ap-
pointed with an emergency status
under one of the more than two score
orders issued by President Wilson
during the war They entered the
service without examination. and do
not have the right of retirement with
compensation, the right of transfer
of promotion, or of appeal enjoyed by
employees on the classified civil Serv-
Ice list. The Civil Service Commits
sion would give them all these rights
under the request soon to be made
to the President.
Members of the cabinet are said to
be divided on the propriety of trans
ferring these employees to the claSSi-
fed rolls without going through the
regular civil service procedure, al
though those in favor of the move
are held to outnumber those opposed
to it. The change, according to the
Civil Service Commission, will prob
ably not be made until temporary
fluctuations in the number of Gov
ernment employees in Washington
are ended.

rendering as they will, "Erminie,"
that beautiful opera SO well known
