Dayton And Cancer Research

IN. Y. World)
Multitudes must have turned yes
terday with exhilaration from that
miasma of human folly at Dayton to
the report from London that the
British National Institute of Medical
Research is about to announce the
observation of micro organism
which produces cancer. The contrast
is dramatic enough to be understood
even in the mountains of 1Nnnessee.
For while Mr.. Bryan in the last
few years has been doing his level
best to make life intolerable for any
man of science in the South, scien
tific men in other parts of the world
have been quietly at work seeking
the causes of the Affections of man
kind. But suppose the men working
on the causes of cancer had to con-
suit the Bible before they dared come
to conclusion; suppose before they
were allowed to eXpound an hypoth-
esis they had to obtain permission
from the Rev. John Roach Straton ;
suppose they had to run the gaunt-
/ let of. q vote in the Tennessee Legis-
lature; suppose they had to appear
in the Dayton Court House and stand
trial before a jury of twelve men,
eleven of whom can read, although
none of them has read a scientific
book. How fast could, mankind hope
to reach a cure for a disease like
cancer?
The very essence of all scientific
research is absolute freedom to try
any theory which seems plausible
and to reach any conclusion which
the evidence supports. A scientific
inquirer cannot even pause to con-
slider whether his conclusion fits the
Bible or the teachings of any relig-
able only to his peers-that is. to
other scientific men. In no other at
mosphere can scientific work be car
ried on

So the unchurched, homeless pas

not appear to have been. And yet

pARRow ExcITEs CURIOSITY

The text Of the judges ruling. in
response to the plea of the Scopes
defense to throw the case out of
court has not at this writing appear
ed. Some curiosity as to how he
may try to get around or avoid the
argument Of Darrow. for instance. is
pardonable. How may there be fair
answer to the question, what under
the Tennessee act is the school teach
er in that State to teach?
Regarding the provision forbidding
him ito teach the theory that denies
the divine creation of man, as taught
in the Bible and to teach instead that
man has descended from a lower
order of animals. Darrow asks his
honor just what "is given as the
origin of man as shown in the Bible,
how reconcile the conflicting ac-
counts; how may a teacher know
that he is not violating the criminal
code; who has authority to tell us
Just what the Bible means? How
successfully dispute the statement
that mo Legislature is strong enough
in any State of the Union to charac-
terize and pick any book as being
divine, without defying the provi-
sions of the Constitution?
OF course Judge Raulston will not
tell us, Mr.. Bryan will not tell us,
however strenuous or oratorical may
be their effort to do so. And when
they are through will it remain true,
as Darrow says Of them in the Bible
days: "They thought the sun went
around the earth, and gave us light
and gave us night. We know better.
We know the earth turns on its axis
to produce days and nights. They
thought the earth was 4,004 years old
before the Christian era. We know
better. J. doubt If there is a person
in Tennessee who does not know bet
ter. They told it the best way they
knew. And while suns may change
all You may learn of chemistry, ge-
ometry and mathematics, there are
no doubt certain primitive, elemental
instincts in the organs of man that
remain the same. He finds out what

supplements his knowledge with
hope and faith.
This is the province OF religion,
and I haven't the slightest fault to
fnd with 1t, not the slightest in the
world. One has one thought and one
another, and instead of fighting each
other a. in the past they should sup
port and help each other"
And Darrow saya he cannot ac-
count for ''the hatred and the ven
ON" Within sound Of his voice
there was q sample Of it, the pastor
driven from the church and the
homo he had built because he
thought. as Bryan was talking
against evolution in another church.
Il would be proper for a noted divine
= speak in his church the same day
IN favor Of evolution.

OF the six and half million radio
sets, that have been put out the
world over, three and a half million
are in this country. How many of
these have been distributed in Ten

trying to keep out of the schools.
