A WEST Texas conference OF
"A Methodist ministers decides ito
battle evolution to a finish" a wise
decision, to be welcomed by all.
If evolution is a false doctrine,
offensive to Providence, it ought to
be suppressed, with proper respect,
OF course, for constitutional guaran-
tees of free speech, thought, etc.
If evolution represents, on the con-
trary, a process by which it has
pleased Providence TO build up life
on the earth, as it is built up in
the prenatal condition, The opposi-
ton is the best possible thing. From
debate comes truth.

DELAYS
PLANS FOR
BOOST
Scheduled Election Unlikely
Before February
of 1926.

Mayor John W. Tobin and the COM
missioners may have to wait until
February 10, 1926, for the proposed
increases in their salaries.
Fred Fries, city clerk, announced
Thursday after a conference with City
Attorney Joe Ryan that a resolution
announcing the city's intention to
amend the charter must be passed 20
days or more before an ordinance set
ting the date for the election is ap-
proved by the commission.
Plans for the city council to hold
an adjourned meeting Thursday after
noon to pass the resolution were halt
ed when news was received of the
sudden death of W. G. Tobin, brother
of Mayor Tobin.
DELAY NECESSARY.
First it was believed that the plan
to raise salaries could be submitted
to San Antonio for approval 80 days
after an ordinance was approved" Mr..
Fries explained.
"Later, however, we learned that
the state laws require that city no.
tify its voters 20 days before the ordi-
nance comes before the commission"
he said.
Unless the resolution, which Mr..
Ryan was requested to prepare, in
passed before next Tuesday an election
this year will be out Of the question.
December 80 likely will be the
date set if the papers can be pre-
pared in time" Mr.. Fries said.
MUST NOTIFY VOTERS
The current years poll tax receipts
expire December 81, and if the cleo
ton is postponed until next year it
cannot be held until about February
10. it is pointed out by the city
clerk.
Ptsidents are given until February
1 to get their receipts and as many
wait until the last few days an cleo
ton could not be held, comrletc list
not being available until a few days
after the first Of the month.
Mr.. Fries explained that every
qualified voter must be notified of'the
election by mail.
He estimates that $4,000 letters
must ne sent out.

FINE TRAINS
WILL CARRY
VISITORS
Rail Accommodations to
Match Finest Offered
In America.

Steps to obtain the highest class
railway service in the country for
winter tourists coming to San An
tonic this year were taken Thursday
by officials of the chamber of COM
merce.
Offering to advertise the service
throughout the country, c. Il. Yam
dell, general manager of the chamber,
Thursday made a formal request OF
Frank Orr of the I-G. n. and Walter
Walthall of the NJ. X. and It. rail
ways to put accommodations on
trains running into San Antonio equal
to any in the country.
SEEK CLUB CARS.
Tourist trains carrying San An
tonic visitors, according to the plan,
will in future be equipped with COM
partment, club, and observation cars.
The need for the first class service,
according to Mr.. Yandell was made
evident at the recent conventions of
Insurance Commissioners and Fire
Marshals Of North America.
Big business men and industrial
leaders attending the convention were
unable to obtain the first class ser
vice for which they asked.
TOURISTS NOW RICHER.
More wealthy persons than ever be-
fore are coming to San Antonio this
year, it is pointed out in the request
for more elaborate train service.
Early requests for information
about the city as winter resort
are said to be coming from among
the monied class.
Coupled with the fact that the
chamber will spend large sums OF
money during the next three years
the city, the request is
based on its growing popularity as
Il resort, which is said to now justify
accommodations now accorded other
of the great resort centers of the
country.

Lawyer Says His People
Will Suffer Without
u. S. Protection.

The most tragic mistake the Fill
pinos could possibly make at this time
would be to separate from the United
States.
This is the opinion of Vicente Villa
min, Filipino lawyer, writer and stu
dent of international affairs.
There may come a time when alb
solutc independence may be desirable
and profitable-for the Filipino,
he said. "but that time is not now.
Independent Filipinos,' he con-
tinued. would have two serious prob
lens to face. First, international Sc
curity, and second, the maintenance
of foreign commerce. In neither OF
these are We prepared or equipped,
nor can we be for along time.
The choice is not between the Fill
Pine and independence, but between
the United States of america and
some other nation.

Directors Of the Chamber of Com

than they do, declared these sums too
large. -
