 Cable and signal codes, maps charting the routes used by rum ships, bills for huge quantities of liquor labels and evidence that mem- bers of the ring have brokerage ac- counts running into substantial fig ures were found by the raiders.
 Thirteen men regarded as mem bers of the ring were. arrested by federal agents and police In two raids on offices of pseudo real es- tate firm in the theatrical district Wednesday. Fourteen others are being sought

The skipper had the other half of the bill and the runner got his liquor
 The code used in cable messages and to signal rum ships from shore, contained such designations as WYAXY for champagn; WuYos, Scotch whiskey. WUYIR, gin. There were code letters for such phrases as "Munro's house of lords" King William V. Q.

 Arthur Kraus, one of the defend ants not yet arrested, obtained a s5o,o0o letter of credit from the Ma tional City bank last December. Mir. Ruckner says. He deposited s2o0.- 600 in one bank in 2 single month. May 2S last was the banner order day when 4,soo were sold

startling increases in crimes
against property, chiefly thieving
and commercial fraud of various
kinds. Crimes of violence against
the person, however, show fur
Their decreases. The home office
report says that crime in gen
eral has steadily diminished over
a considerable term of years, and
in addition the reduction is great

The increase in crime in America
has been laid to the war by apollo

A MISUSED TERM

The American has several
times said that the term 100 per
cent Americanism" which is fire.
quently misused is a little too
strong and does not ring beauti-
full to our ears, because it means
so much and few if any can at
tain that goal.
John II. Clarke, former justice
of the United States supreme
court, in an address at Brown uni
versity recently made objection
to the misuse of the term 100
per cent Americanism". Not that
we believe he got his idea from
us but there seems to be desire
within all of US for company.
in a word" he said, 1T seems
to be used chiefly to express an
attitude of self-suffcient super
iority TO our neighbors which is
not calculated to promote har-
mony at home, and in foreign re-
lations to cultivate an exaggerat-
ed nationalism."

THE EVOLUTION TRIAL

The famous Monkey" trial al
Dayton, Tennessee, appears to be
the principal topic to fill up front
page space of the daily news
papers these days. MIR. Bryan
who is the principal spokesman
against the evolution theory,
gave out a statement some time
ago TO the effect that there is a
wide difference between lectur-
ing on evolution and then teach.
ing il in the public schools TO
children and in this il seems that
he is perfectly right, A lecture
before grown-ups where people
are permitted to attend or stay
away of their own free will and
then teaching it to children i'm an
institution that they are practi-
cally compelled to attend are two
different things and especially in
view of the fact that the teach
ings in the school is the opposite
Of that taught in the home.
But Mr.. Bryan gave out an
other statement more recently
which is too far fetched when he
said regarding the Scopes trial
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1925-07-16

it is "a duel to the death between
evolution and Christianity"
The Duluth Herald comments
in part on that as follows:
Probably Mr.. Bryan, in his
zeal, says more than he means.
Anyway, he says more than is
true.
Whatever the outcome Of the
Scopes trial may be. it will not
destroy either evolution or Chris
tianity. Nor will it change
either of them very much.
Neither will it settle for all
time the issue that has been
raised in Tennessee. No matter
what happens to Scopes or to the
law under which he is to be tried,
Christianity will go on, and those
who believe in evolution will con-
tinue to believe in it. Moreover,
those who doubt evolution will
continue to doubt it, and those
who hold that it is entirely pos
sible to believe in some form of
evolution and in Christianity too
will remain about where they
were before the trial"
All the time and money spent
at the Tennessee trial will prob
ably do as much good as the polar
explorations and perhaps less,
anyway it seems like a case of
much excitement wrought up
about a small matter. Why so
much speculation as to the origin
of man? If it was possible to
discover that the teachings of the
bible in that respect are wrong
would evolution give us a sub
stitute for the moral teachings of
the bible. the church and the Sun
day school? If that were pos
sible then it would be easy to UNI
derstand why the subject would
command the attention, study
and interest of everybody.
