TENNESSEE IN LIME LIGHT

If a student in the Tennessee
schools should ask the teacher to
harmonic what is related in Genesis
about the world being made in six
days with the evidence from geolog-
icai formations, what reply could the
teacher make that would be legal I'M
der the law of that State? If the
teacher should reply: believe the
story of Genesis, that the day there
mentioned means what we speak Of
as a day. To believe anything else
would be unlawful and would f1out
the authority of the majority of the
Legislature that passed the law, in
what degree would this enhance in
the minds Of the pupils respect for
the law, the State or for the teach
er?
One John Thomas Scopes evidently
had an opinion if we may judge from
his act, which, according to the
charge. was to the effect that the
Interpretation of Genesis is not to
be taken literally and then went
farther and taught that man de-
scend from lower order of animals,
concerning which latter teaching he
would find it difficult to present in
dubitable proof, AS result he has
been, indicted and is being tried and
Bryan is to make a speech in court.
The indictment charges that
Scopes did unlawfully and wilfully
teach in a public school supported
from the public funds certain the
DRY and theories that deny the story
of the Divine creation of man as
taught in the Bible and did teach
instead thereof that man has de-
scended from lower order of ami
mails" The judge termed this high
misdemeanor", saying. that he made
no reference to the policy or the con-
stitutionality of the statute but TO
the evil example Of the teacher dis
regarding constituted authority in
the presence of those whose thought
and morals he is to direct and guide
He did not add that care should
be had in constituting authority.
Some entertain the opinion that an
attempt has been made by the Leg
islature Of Tennessee to constitute
an authority on the part of the voters
to teach religious issue in the pub
lie schools after the manner the ma
jority may decide it should be taught.
Though the attempt is made to try
Scopes. who does not appear reluct-
ant to be tried-he was an obscure
school teacher before he created this
sensation-for violation of law with
out consideration of the merit of
that law. it will be impossible to
separate these in the public mind.
1t will also serve to remind us that
fundamental principle of our gov
eminent Is separation og church and
state.

When The Two Met

Several days ago, while the noon
tide of pedestrians was sweeping
East Washington street, it happened
that an unusual number of persons
attempted to pass through tn, tenn
porary arcade in front of the partly
completed Selig Building.
An ample and rather jovial fat man
had elbowed his way almost through
the crowd and was breathing a sigh
of relief when the unexpected hap
pened. Just as he started to turn
from the arcade to the street he ran
into a large colored woman of equal
size. Both took the count.
why don't you put out your hand
when you all is goin' to make left
turn?" exclaimed the colored woman
as she picked herself up.
The fat man said nothing, but
arose and busted himself off. Before
resuming his amble down the street
he asked, did anybody get the num-

April and in the same period of
time the freight revenues showed a
decrease Of $4,000, and since

these utilities to continue to be
operated at loss over any long
period Of time. Yet there is no
substitute for them during the
heavy SHOWS of winter. 1t is easy
enough to talk about serving all

the railroads by buses run over
cleared highways, but it is an alto

make sure of what is proposed in

engaged in spotting spooners, is al
legged to have extorted $25 after the
discovery of a colored couple parked
on Massachusetts avenue extended
about midnight Tuesday, was being
investigated by the sub-precinct at
Tenleytown last night
The investigation. launched i'm.
medlately after the report was made
late yesterday afternoon. is aimed at
discovering whether the reported
blackmailer was really a policeman or
whether he obtained the badge seen
on his belt by the complainants
wrongfuIly.
The official police report states def
nitely that at midnight Tuesday night
David Parker and Rose johnson, both
colored. the latter living at 2426 Shows

lnvestigative routine of policeman.
The policeman" asked the man his
name. Parker told him. He also got
MS address, operators permit num-
ber and identification tag number.
Then he did something foreign to
customary procedure.
How much money have you?" he
asked Parker
Parker sadly admitted he had no
money on his person. The investi-
gator then threatened to take Parker
to the station house. Parker said, but
after skillful negotiations, Parker was
given an ultimatum with leeway until
II O'Clock yesterday morning, to OBJ
tain necessary hush money. Between
noon and l o'clock, this blackmailer

home and Rose took him to see Jake
Levins, of 2519 NJ street. There he
stated he was a policeman and point
ed to a police badge on his trousers

Parker's freedom. Levins gave it to
him.
