GASOLINE MONEY BELONGS
TO HIGHWAYS

The American Automobile Assocl-
alton renders the motoring public
considerable service from time to
dine. 1t has just been calling atten-
ton to the uses some States are put
ting the funds received from taxes
on the automobile. 1t declares that
a large part of the gasoline tax has
been diverted to other than highway
purposes. The motorists ought to
have sufficient influence to put an
end to a policy manifestly SO unfair,
but 1t is said those of seven States
permitted a misuse of eleven million
dollars Of gasoline money.
It is no new thing for those held
responsible for laws and the admin
istering of a States affairs to want
a low tax rate and plenty Of money
with which to make a good showing
and please all those who are after
the lions share of the public funds
and assume to be offended if denied.
Gasoline money should go to high
way purposes and to none other.

Genesis would prevent a public
school teacher from suggesting that
without sunlight there could not be
vegetation. The principle would of
course rule out modern astronomy,
for the Bible disagrees with the CO.
pernican astronomy.
In short, if literal Interpretation
of the Bible is to be made the test
of what may be taught in the public
schools, then it becomes impossible
to acquaint the pupils with a great
part of history. science and literature.
Even Mr.. Bryan, we venture to
think, often contradicts the Bible
without knowing it. 1t is inevitable.
He uses calendar which does not
conform to the Bible. He employs
scientific conveniences developed by
researches which 1t is impossible 20
reconcile with literal reading of
every chapter in the Bible.
The question is whether anything
may be taught which conflicts with
the authority of the Bible. Mr.. Bry-
ans Fundamentalists say that 1t
must not. 1t follows that only that
can be taught which conforms with
Fundamentalism. Biology, geology,
astronomy. physics, chemistry. bot
any and history must be revised and
eXpurgated not to conflict with
Fundamentalism. If Mr.. Bryan's
philosophy prevails, the Fundament-
alist sect would control the educa-
tional system of any State where it
could muster a popular majority. IT
would have gone long way toward
setting up it's doctrines as an official
State religion.

TO TAKE ON VACATION

Different people make up different
lists of things to take along with
them on the vacations but there are
certain essentials that should be
found in their equipment if the va
cation is to>prove successful. A pro-
fitable hour might be put in thinking
over list.
The Junior First Aid Legion offers
suggestions that should prove help
full. Among these are: iodine, a
sterile compress of gauze and some
string and instructions to apply
iodine without first washing the
wound, then some of the sterile
gauze and fasten with adhesive tape,
as neglect of such matters is often
hazardous. These suggestions ex-
press a preference for the following
as essentials: three parts brains.
Two parts good nature and one part
money. In that way it may be hoped
tne vacationist will know enough to
keep out of the poison ivy, to ac-
quire sunburn gradually, to know
now to swim before getting into deem
water; but don't forget the good ma
ture.

Editorial Comment
A Query From Father Ryan
IN Y. World)

en- Y. WOrld)
There appeared on this. page yes
terday a letter from Father Ryan OF
the Catholic University at Washing
ton, D. c., which raises an interest
ing and important question concern
ing the Tennessee statute. Father
Ryan's point, stated in his own lang
uage, is as follows:
The law forbids any one to
teach theories that deny the
story of the Divine creation of
man as taught in the Bible"
Your contention that
this one prohibition is improper
implies, obviously, that an in
structor should be permitted to
teach theories contrary to the
Biblical account of creation in
the public schools. Do you really
mean to defend this implication?
If it is improper, as it surely is,
to teach Fundamentalism in the
public schools, it is equally inn
proper to teach anti-Fundamen
talism, or any other religious
doctrine, or any doctrine about
religion, or any doctrine in oppo-
sition to religion.
The contention of those opposed &C
like that in Tennessee is
that neither the Bible nor the tenets
of any church nor the doctrines Ct
any party or class should be set VI
to determine what may be taught IN
the schools. The purpose of secular
education is not to impose any par
ticular belief but to equip the child
to understand the world he lives IT
and to help him learn how to reach
conclusions by the use of his reason
on the basis of evidence. Thus, il
the whole weight of historical evil
dence goes to show that there. have
been men on this earth for very long
ages, teacher should not be debar-
red from presenting the evidence OF
historians and anthropologists be-
cause the Biblical chronology allows
only about 1000 years between the
creation of the world and the birth
of Jesus. The principle of the Ten
nessee statute would prevent pub
lie school teaching what has been
learned about the early history OF
Chaldea and Egypt because those
highly developed civilizations exist
ed before the date assigned by tho
Bible as the creation of the world
The same principle would prevent a
public school from teaching geology
Ior the age of the earth, as estimated
by biologists. is ever so much great
er than the Bible teaches. The same
principle would make it difficult to
teach botany, for the account in

KELLoGG's STRAIGHT FROM
SHOULDER

IT doubt IL you are aware or the
amount of destructive, revolutionary
propaganda which Is being secretly
distributed in this country by foreign
influence"
So Secretary Of State Kellogg told
the assemblage gathered at the
Morse centenary celebration in
Minnesota, talking to those with
whom he has long lived, in country
with which he has been familiar for
sixty Of his sixty-nine years. He
struggled up to his eminence among
those people. For six years he rep
resented them in the United States
Senate. Then convinced that he did
not subscribe to all the cure-alls
they had been told would remedy
their ills they turned to another
and hi. has not cured them.
For good measure Secretary KEEL
logg added: IF these people are not
satisfied with our Government and
our institutions let them go where
they can find a Government which
does satisfy them. This is no place
for Them"
OF course that will not meet with
the approval of the bunk purveyors.
They are not restricted by modesty.
They would assume it highly appro-
pirate for the alien, knocking for adj
mission, once he is inside and his
stomach filled, his back clothed. to
sit down and tell the household how
1t should manage its affairs. But do
those hardy, sensible descendants of
the Norsemen like that plan after
thinking it over?
We must all admit there are
chances for improvement but he
would have hands kept off the foun-
dation stones of the structure we
have builded. He would have us re-
view the rights which have been Sc
cured at the cost of effort, and life,
have US bear in mind when listen
ing to those from other lands come
to- tell US how to manage this one.
that we have the best Government
the wit of man has yet devised. That
there is a worldwide concerted
movement to upset government is a
well-established fact. None are in
position to know this better than our
Secretary Of State. recent Ambassa-
dor to Great Britain.
Not all this clamor is raised by
aliens simply seeking to overthrow
and themselves to possess. though
but for them it would speedily die
out. We need not think them all in
sincere. Aliens come from govern
ments dominated by paternalism.
They think Of the Government as
granting rights and privileges. Amer
leans should think Of their Govern
ment-and the intelligent ones know
that the makers of this Government
so Thoughts an organized effort
to protect unalienable rights. not to
confer them. Americans insisted up
on those rights and established gov

them. Here is different view point
from that of the aliens coming from
paternalistic Governments, asking "a

happy instead Of having Government

made for ourselves wide distinc-
tion.
