HANDS Off POLICY
ADOPTED BY T|GERT
U. S. Commissioner of Edu-
cation Says Question Is
Up to Tennessee.

Without a representative, official or
unofficial, at the Scopes trial in Day
ton, Tenn, where the State law pro
hibiting the teaching of evolution
hangs in the balance, the Federal Bu-
reau of Education, although it is the
Government agency for all education
in the United States, is as unconcerned
in the outcome of the evolution"
trial as if the history making case
were being tried in the Sahara Desert.
Even though DR.. John J. Tigert,
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, is a native of Tennessee and
graduate of Vanderbilt University, in
the heart of the State, he is the head
of a great Federal agency and as such
cannot take sides with any question
which involves the right of State
to set up laws for its citizens. This
is the way the bureau views the trial
at Dayton, even though Scopes taught
evolution to his pupils from book
which is in wide use throughout the
United States and which has the tacit
sanction of the bureau.
No matter which way this bureau
cast its opinion DR.. Tigert said to-
day, whether it favored or decried
the theory OF evolution or whether
it announced its position as on the
fence awaiting proof, there would be
those who would level shafts of criti-
cism at such action. The issue is
one for the State to decide, and
cannot see where the Federal Gov

With Judge Raulston's decision on

Whispers With Bryan.
Mr.. Darrow came over to the States
mained seated as the greater part Of
the crowd filed out. He took a seat
by the Floridan and entered into a
whispered discussion.
Photographers. sensing the unusual
ness of the situation, rushed in a
phalanx to the position in front of
them and began to snap and grind
their instruments. Mr.. Bryan snatch
ed up his white helmet and held 1t in
front of his face. He lowered it in
good humor.
Mr.. Malone, Darrow's colleague,
walked by and exclaimed at the con-
ferring opponents:
'I object"
They waved at him.
THE Commoner's" son came to the
stand by his fathers side and between
the two.
There is the proof Of evolution be-
tween him." the New York lawyer
cried in his accustomed jovial tones.
Bryan Becomes Angered.
Some one asked Mr.. Bryan If he be-
lieved that Joshua commanded the sun

"I will always answer questions
asked with an honest purpose" Mr..
Bryan replied with some heat. But
somebody told you to ask me that
question. 1t is asked with no other
purpose than to insult me. 1 am get
ting mighty tired of such treatment"
The former Secretary Of State turned
and walked away.

short time, Attorney General Stewart
has announced, the defense will make
its second legal fight of the trial-an
effort to gain the admission of scien-
tific testimony into the case.
Well known scientists from many
sections of the country were in Day
ton this morning, with others expect
ed later in the day, and still others to-
morrow and Thursday.
Dayton folk and the hundreds of
visitors from far and near who try to
crowd into the courtroom each day
were looking forward with interest to
the next series Of arguments. Conjec-
ture was rife as to what speakers
would be heard on the issue of the
competency of the disputed testimony.
It was thought likely that Mr.. Ma
lone or William o. Thompson, neither
Of whom has as yet made an argu-
ment. would present part of the con-
tentions of the defense. Mr.. BRYAN
and his son are yet to say a single
word in the case, and while 1t was
not thought probable that the Florida
fundamentalist would speak at this
stage, some well informed but unoffi-
cial observers suggested that the Los
Angeles lawyer might be heard on this
question.
Darrow Speaks Two Hours.
MI" 1dIIOW. WHO IdS IOuBnI scores
OF criminal cases in many courts,
came to Rhea County to make one of
the most earnest fights of his life in
case in which a misdemeanor is
charged, and the maximum punish
ment in the event of conviction OF
his client will be fine of $500.
The Chicago lawyer, who has often
pleaded for lives in gravest Jeopardy
was desperately in earnest yesterday
as he addressed Judge John T. Raul
ston in arguing the affirmative side
of motion to quash the indictment
against John T. Scopes.
For nearly two hours Darrow spoke
against the statute behind the indict
ment. The Chicago lawyer called II
foolish, mischievous and wicked. y
He spoke of bigotry, and harked back
to the sixteenth century as he walked
about the bar inclosure and waved
his shirt-sleeved arms in emphatic
gestures.
A few feet away sat William Jen.
nings Bryan at the table tof the
prosecution counsel. He looked in
tently at the speaker as Darrow said:
"a gentleman from Florida, prose.
cutting this case, was responsible for
the act under which 1t Is brought"
Bryan's expression did not change.
For the second court day he went
throughout the session without ad-
dressing a word to the court or oppos.
ing counsel.
Mr.. Darrow began his argument
speaking slowly and with pronounc-
ed drawl. He referred briefly to the
points of the compass from which the
case had drawn counsel.
within limitations. the Legislature
has the right to determine what shall
be taught In the public schools" he
said.
Back a number of years ago when
people were free the people of Ten
nessee wrote constitution. They
made It broad and said that the people
should enjoy religious freedom.
There is not a single line Of any
constitution that can withstand big
otry. Here, we find today as brazen
and bold an attempt to destroy learn
ing as was made in the middle ages.

ernment can take sides one way or
another. Certainly the Bureau of
Education will take no stand in the
matter"
Deeprooted in the hearts of the
Tennessee folk is a simple and abid-
ing faith in the teachings of the
Bible that no argument or verbal ges-
ticulations can shake, DIR. Tigert said
Planted in them from childhood and
untainted by the latter day theory
of Darwin is the thought that the
Bible is their creed and that it would
be blasphemy to doubt it's teachings.
Their faith is devout, their creed
simple, he added. DIR. Tigert grew
up in the fundamental atmosphere

country and abroad. we'll remembers

public schools. I do not question the
right of the Legislature to fix the
courses of study. But the Legislature
has no power to pass a criminal stat
ute which applies to the school teach
erS and to no others.
Says Bigotry Makes Fiends.
They can't make 1t a criminal act
to teach evolution and permit books
of evolution to be sold in all the book
stores Nor, If the law is constitu-
tional, can they permit foreign publ
cations TO be bootlegged into your
peaceful community teaching the hor-
rible doctrine Of evolution.
Nothing turns the minds of human
beings into fends like religious ha-
tired and bigotry. If today we can
make it a crime to teach it in the high
schools. next year you can bar 1t
from the private schools; the next you
can prohibit books to be circulated,
and later you can lead to such a point
that you will set man against man,
and send Protestants against Catho-
lies"

quences of such action graphically, in
concluding his argument
