DROWNING ACCIDENTS
 POINT < MORAL

Five drownings in one day in Connecticut and Massachusetts. and two persons killed in an automobile accident. was the record for Thurs day, All the victims of the drown- ings were young in years.
 Drowning accidents have been particularly rife this summer. In some sections they have been more numerous than fatal automobile &C., cidents. Nothing will be lost and perhaps much gained by emphasiz- ing { h 6 dangers of carelessness while boating or in bathing, The fact that most drowning victims are youths should cause parents to stress the dangers of the smiling waters to their young.

THE MAYORS LETTER TO THE C. OF C.

Mayor Paonessa, in writing to the Chamber of Commerce to the effect that he cannot enunciate an order closing stores on Sunday, declared he had secured legal advice before coming to this conclusion. This gives the letter of the mayor much more weight than had he written Into it only his personal opinion, as the chief executive of the city makes no pretense at being a law yer.
 The logic in the letter appeared sound. The Chamber of Commerce, he declared, created for the pur- pose of regulating trade, would seem to be the ideal place for the settlement of this dispute" It is to be hoped that the c. of C. can solve the difficulty at issue with satisfaC- ton to the majority.
 The agitation for part-day Sun day closing, started by number of merchants themselves, has resulted in considerable discussion, some un- official action on the part of indi- sidual merchants and no official &C., ton.
 The statutes permit certain arti- cles to be sold upon Sunday. As everyone knows, however, many of the stores which sell the "certain articles" also sell other articles; and as many of them remain open all day on Sunday to sell the "cer- tain articles" they also remain open that long to sell whatever else IS called for. The suggestion that such as desire it remain open for two hours Sunday morning, was constructive, and seemed to meet with some favor, Legal advice be- ing that only persuasive efforts can Ae applied. it would appear logical that the C, of C. continue the at tempt to solve the difficulty without Sdyocatms d blue law Sunday. The latter conception of Sunday ob- s.r,auce is no longer popular.

THE DECISION RESTS ON FUNDAMENTALS

The decision Of Judge Raulston in the Dayton evolution trial to bar scientific evidence was regrettable to those who had hoped the trial would give an opportunity for dozen or so of scientists to func- ton as schoolmasters to the coun- try at large through the pubica- tion of their evidence in the news papers; but when the legal prln- ciplcs are closely examined the judge's decision appears Ill con- formity with strict rules of eVi- dcnce as interpreted by some legal authorities.
 Scopes was indicted under the Tennessee law prohibiting tn 6 teaching of evolution, and scientific 1ata as 10 the character of cNoIu- ton, its status among scientists and its couuarison with the Bible, did moi really enter into the question Lrrorc the court according 10 the judge and the fundamentalists, The eourt existed to decide whether the law as made and provided by the Lrpislature had been violated, not to lend itself 10 weighing the lus- ,ir. of the law, according 10 this view.
 In the opinion of many, of course' particularly those who were willing or anxious 10 have the trial utilized for maintenance of the theory oi ..,olution, the decision ot the court u,s unpleasant Perhaps they will r,Ilrd the judge ua having made d...i.,nu that WAS somewhat in con tarml,y with his own predijPctiohS ,s a fuDIanlcntallst; but one must ink, human nature into consldeia- ffnn ,trn on thc bench. Had the iIlra Mnty,G bc,n q believer Ill 4,,Iut,on hla decision might nave la.n m la,or of admitting all the ....,.p,,fr testimony in sight. Some l.ouIg think judg"s never permit ,,.i. ,-rn n,rsnual views to enler into their decisions oil the rules ot ,>l1..rr.. but fhose ot us who were n.t born yesterday think differently fl times. Judges are human beings
