pendence for the teacher. Without attempting to set forth complete theory on the subject, we can draw certain lines, across which the pubic school teacher should not carry his educational independence" He must not teach as fact that which IS more or less probable theory. This rule will prevent him from intoxicating evolution as an established certainty and therefore from positively denying the Biblical account of creation. lie should not represent theory, or opln- ion, or conclusion or doctrine as cer- tainly true when it is merely one of several which have the support ot re- sponsible authority. This rule applies to history, philosophy, sociology and all the physical sciences. Even when he sets forth scientific doctrines which are held to be true by substantially all educated persons, but which seem to conflict with certain instructions of the Bible or certain other religious beliefs, he should refrain from calling attention to the apparent disagree ment. It is no part of the teachers function to reconcile any of the disci- plines in the public school curricu- lum with the Bible, or with religion. If a pupil calls attention to the ap- parent conflict and asks an eXplana- tiOn, the teacher should refuse to sat isfy this legitimate curiosity unless he explains that the question in but a theory and not a fact The pupil should be referred to his own par ent or minister or priest.
 Obviously this theory is difficult to reduce to practice. As a matter of fact, it is frequently and flagrantly disregarded. Nevertheless, the viola tions of religious neutrality by public school instructors could be greatly lesSened. This result should be achiev-

 Will Deny Crime in Teaching
 A word as regards the judicial pro cesses, impending and remote, which are to determine the legal guilt or in nocence of young Mr. Scopes, and

the validity or invalidity of the law. The defendant will admit that he taught the doctrine of evolution in the Dayton High School, but he will deny that this action constitutes legal crime. His denial will be based on the ground that the Anti-Evolution Law is unconstitutional. His attor- neys will show that the law violates the due process" clause of the Four teenth Amendment; that it is the in- Junction that no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law" They Will contend that the individual lib- erty thus protected includes liberty or teaching. Since the Anti-Evolution law destroys this liberty, it violates

the Constitution
 It was this Constitutional guarantee which, in the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court, rendered null and void the Oregon Anti-Parochial school law. The Court held that liberty" in the due process" clause of the Four teenth Amendment included the lib erty to maintain, to teach in, and to send children to a private school If the Scopes case presented this issue it would be ended before it could be begun. But it involves a material different question; namely, whether the Constitutional liberty of teaching implies the freedom to teach particu- ular doctrines in the public schools.

ELKS PLANTO SAVE DREADNAUGHT
OF AMERICAN NAVY, WAR OF 1872

Plans to raise 100000 to save the
famous frigate Constitution" or "Old
IrOnsides' as she is better known,
have been announced by John G. Price,
of Columbus, Ohio. Grand Exalted
Rule of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks.
The plan will be forwarded by the
Elks and the officers of the lodge ex-
pect to raise the money from the L.
100000 members of the order and from
the school children of America. 1t is
stated that the plans have the approx
al of Secretary of the Navy Wilbur.
It is planned to have a speaker visit
every school room in America to tell
the story of cold Ironsides'' again and
to enlist the sympathy and efforts of
the children in saving her from disso-
luton.
No contribution of more than ten
cents from any one child will be ac-
cepted.
The history of "Old Ironsides" is,
of course, well known to every school
boy. She was launched in October,
1897, and from that time on her rec
ord was memorable one. Her eX-
ploits III the War OF 1872 and against
the pirates of Tripoli will never be
forgotten.
The tough planks which won for
her the name of "Old Ironsides" came
from the forests of Georgia, and her
masts were of New England pine.
Paul Revere, on a government con-
tract furnished the brass and metal
work which went into her.
In 1886 the navy department order
ed her scrapped. But Oliver Wendall
Holmes the young poet penned his
famous lines which stirred the country
and her "tattered ensign" was kept
waving.
The ship served as training ship
for the naval academy for many years
and finally in 1897 she was toWed in
to Boston harbor where she now
rocks idly at her mornings, her stout
planking waterlogged and her masts
and rigging long vanished.
Plans for her preservation include
the building of new hull and fitting
her out as a patriotic shrine for the
coming generations.

Tourists Abuse Generosity
of Shullsburg Citizen

SHULLSBURG.-This town has no
free tourist camp controlled by the
municipality, but last year and this
year also, DR.. Hoesley placed the ball
park at the disposal of auto tourists,
and erected signs directing them to the
park.
The place made a good camping
ground, with shade and water, and
was freely patronized by transient
tourists. Everything has been free.
Probably most of the tourists were
good, honest people, but there have
been thieves among them.
The doctor has a club house On the
grounds equipped with cooking uten-
sils, etc. Most of this equipment has
been stolen, little at time, the last
articles to disappear being the doctors
camping stove.
This was the straw that broke the
camel's back, and the doctor has now
closed the grounds to the tourists.

Vice President Scores State
in Lakes Level Fight

GREEN BAY.-Talking on dry and
wet subject, namely railroads and wa
terways, before 500 guests attending
the tenth annual dinner of the Asso-
citation of Commerce here, w. R.
Dawes, president of the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce, declared that
Wisconsin, in bringing suit against
the Chicago District Drainage Canal
association, was committing an injus-
tice to the future development of in
land waterways.
Mr.. Dawes deplored the fact, accord
ing to his opinion, that Wisconsin and
it's lake port cities are doing some
wrong thinking in regard to the
drainage canal. He said the best en-
gineers in the country are agreed
that the water which now tumbles
over Niagara Falls and that which is
that the lakes level will not be i'm
paired.
Chicago has s1,00O,0O0 deposited
with the war department" Mr.. Dawes
said, ''to be used in controlling the
flow over Niagara without lessening
it's water power. We will control the
flow there and at Chicago in like man
ner."
In regard to the railroads, Mr..
Dawes said that their efficiency must
not be hindered by unjust rate laws.
He claimed that the roads running out
west with empty freight trains should
be permitted to make lower rate on
the long haul, so that they could COM
pete with water transportation.

Women have proved themselves
so competent in control of motor
machinery, according to the find
ings of Frederick L. Hoffman,
LII. D., in his recent survey of
motor traffic and its hazards, that
he sees no reason why they should
not be equally skillful in the hand
ling of the aeroplane. For this
reason, he says, the rule adopted
by the International Commission
on Aviation, excluding them as
aviators, lis not to be commend
ed
''There are no reasons" asserts
DR.. Hoffman, "for assuming that
women, in the course of time, will
not prove as capable of managing
aeroplanes as they have been found
to be in the driving of motor cars.
The prejudice against women dri-
vers and the charge that they are
erratic or unreliable is usually
voiced by men who could be con-
victed of recklessn ess."

COUNTIES NJ AY
ELIMINATE TAX
UNDER NEW LAW
Gasoline Tax Makes Unnec-
essary a Direct Coun-
ty Tax.

Many inquiries are being made by
the people of the state regarding the
highway appropriation tax law passed
by the last legislature. They wonder
why a gasoline tax law was passed in
addition to the present license fee
based on weight. They are under the
impression that this means additional
highway expenditures. This is a
wrong impression, as the facts will
show.
In the year 1924, excluding the
county bond issue funds which are
practically exhausted, there was
spent on highways by the counties
and the state in round numbers Sl5,-
100000. Of this, $6,462,000 came from
automobile license; $1,142,000 was re-
ceived from the federal government;
and $7,448,000 was raised by direct
county taxes.
Expenditures Same As 1924.
Under the new highway appropria
ton law, which includes the gasoline
tax, the estimated state funds which
will be raised, and the amount re-
C0lN6u lIOUu Tie I6ClSI dI SONCI hlllChI,
will be $14,853,000, practically the
same as last years expenditures. OF
this, $8,100,000 will come from the Ii
cense fees; $4,880,000 from the gaso-
line tax; and $1,873,000 will be in the
form of federal aid.
Increased Federal Aid.
Note that the state funds available
are practically the same as the ex-
penditures of 1924 In the 1924 ex-
penditures, however, we find $7,448,-
900 direct county taxes. Under the
new law, if the counties whish they
can eliminate this tax and still have
the same funds available, the differ
ence being made up by the gasoline
tax, the increase in the motor license
fees, and an increased amount of fed
eral aid.
To sum it up, the new law does not
provide for more highway expendl-
lures. 1t does provide for larger state
funds coming mostly from the new
gasoline tax. 1t means that larger
share will be paid by the motor We
hicle owners and that over 100000
of general property taxes will be lifted
if the county boards so desire.

Farmers Want Yags
to Help With Harvest

EAU CLAIRE. - Farmers in this
section are being handicapped in han
ding their heavy crops by scarcity of
farm labor. So serious has become
the situation that the farmers have
applied to the police department in
the various cities and towns in this
section to call attention of those who
show up at the police stations for
shelter to the plenitude of work to be
had on the farms
Farmers report that their sons have
left the farm to work in the city, this

Prudential Insurance Company,
DR.. Hoffman is now making an in
quiry into aerial traffic hazards
in view of the prosp i've devel-
opment of commercial aviation in
this country and the resultant de-
mand for the insurance of aviators.
Flyers are now among the few
persons positively declined as in
Surance risks.
DR.. Hoffman believes that aerial
traffic as rapid transit for both
passengers and freight will be-
come a commonplace of the next
decade. In his opinion, based on
data procured from his investiga-
tons of rail and motor traffic, the
accident hazard will decrease in
ratio to the increase in the num-
Der of flying machines. There is
no reason, as he views the situa-
ton, why women should not be
permitted to qualify as pilots for
the planes that carry freight, pas
Sengers or mail,

Personal Property Held
Liable for Back Taxes

MADISON.-It is the duty of town
treasurers to collect delinquent real
estate taxes from personal property
wherever found, first from personal
property in the immediate vicinity of
the real estate, or if none there, then
elsewhere, an opinion by Attorney
General Herman L. Ekern, to Elmer
S. Hall, conservation commissioner,
states.
County treasurers, however, have
no authority, the opinion holds.
The question arose in connection
with the situations in the northern
part of the state where certain lum-
Der companies own large tracts of
land. These tracts are now worth lit
tie since the timber has been removed.
Companies permit the taxes to become
delinquent and subsequently the lands
are returned to counties.

Best Adv. Is One That
Tells the Truth, Simply

''The man who uses the newspapers
tells his story quickly and directly to
all the people in the territory covered
by the circulation of those papers. In
your ads, be straightforward-be SEN
sible!
The attempt to use clever witt
cisms in ads has done more to ruin
advertising than any other factor.
Don't bee sensational. Tell the simple,
unvarnished truth about your goods.
Invariably your readers will appre-
ciate it and come to your store rather
than go to the place of the merchant
who exaggerates his goods. Poor
goods cannot be sold by sensational
advertising.
The good ad is the truth we'll told"
