BRYAN VERSUS DARWIN.

liam Jennings Bryan, for many
years a candidate for president Of
the United States, fired the open
ing guns in the case of State Of
Tennessee VS.. John T. Scopes, Day.
ton, Tenn, school teacher indicted
for violation of the Tennessee anti
evolution law.
Not for several years has GRIM
inal case in the United States ex-
cited as much interest as has this
one. The eyes of all America-of
all the world, indeed-are focused
on Dayton, and that town has re-
ceived more publicity in the last
few weeks through this somewhat
muddled and tangled affair than
it could ever have gotten otherwise.
Most Americans seem to view the
proceedings with tolerant amuse-
ment, but not so Europe. Bernard
Shaw writes from London, among
other things, that America is on
trial. Indeed, civilization itself is
on trial." and so forth. Similar
dark expressions from Continental
Europe would indicate that, at least
in the Old Worlds eyes, America
is in bad way.
Whatever ones opinion as to
the justice or the constitutionality
of the anti-evolution statute, it ap-
pears all are agreed that this trial
is nothing more than fine legal
comedy, with Mr.. Bryan once more
apparently leader of the minority
And in the meantime John T
Scopes, the defendant, being for
gotten in the excitement and blot
ted out by the streams of eloquence
gushing forth from the learned
counsel, sits idly wondering wheth-
er the simian biped could be the
ancestor of so vain a creature as
man.

THE LOG TRAIN
By D. MAITLAND BUSHBY.
(Written for The Mail.)

Screeching and wheeling, it rum
bles along
Through the stately pines OF
Gods own country.
Down through the dimlit lanes,
echoes prolong
The monsters shrieking voice,
crying to be free,
Then grumbling midst belches Of
hazy smoke
Settles once more to it's cumber-
some yoke.
Newly hewn logs rest snugly in
still death.
Standing pines look on and seem
to shudder
When the twisting hearse goes by,
gasping for breath
With chokes that break the 81
lence asunder.
The woodstock stop their play and
watch with fear
Whenever the dread thing of man
comes near.
Then when the light Of day is gone
once more,
The cool night breeze gathers
tales of the day.
Pausing here awhile, then on as
before,
But singing softly in a sad,
sweet way
AS it goes throughout the listening
woodland,
That thoughtless man will never
understand

ACCIDENTS AT RAILROAD
CROSSINGS.

DURING the last few weeks s the
safety department of the Santa
Fe Railway company has sent out
new posters to be put up along
railway crossings and elsewhere
and which, it is hoped, may teach
a lesson that will have the effect
of reducing the number Of acci-
dents at such points. In sending
out these posters the railway calls
attention to these very important
facts which tell story that is
quite startling:
Seventy per cent of all crossing
accidents occur in daylight.
Sixty-three per cent of all cross
ing accidents occur at crossings
in the country where there is no
obstruction to the view.
A large majority of all crossing
accidents occur at crossings with
which the driver is entirely famil-
lar, usually in the community
where he or she resides.
Fourteen per cent of all cross
ing accidents Zone out of every
seven) result from the drivers run
ming into the side of moving trains.
While about 25 per cent of drivers
are careless, only about 5 per cent
are grossly negligent, yet with
100000 automobiles in the Unit
ed States this represents 100000
reckless motorists: These include
many whose eyesight and hearing
are impaired, children who are not
old enough to understand the oper-
alton of the car, men Of such adj
vanced age that they are not capa-
BILE of operating the car safely,
and it also includes large number
who drive cars while in an intoxi
Gated condition.
All crossings are not protected
and those that are have various
types of protection, such as ground
flagman, gateman and electric
flashlight and audible signals. All
drivers should approach crossings
with this knowledge and know that
the way is clear before attempting
to cross the tracks; also should
know that where there are two or
more tracks trains are likely to be
moving in both directions at the
same time.

Studebaker Is Gone
Profit Motor Ca,

People generally now understand
the advantages of complete auto
mobile manufacture in the low
priced field.
Until today, no manufacturer of
quality car has been able to lay
claim to these advantages. But
now Studebaker manufactures
practically every important unit
building its cars more completely
than any other manufacturer in the
fine car field
1t is the result of seven years
of planning, of turning profits back
into greater manufacturing facili-
ties, the addition of such new
plants as the largest gray iron
foundry in the world and a body
building plant which cost $10,000,-
600.
Studebaker not only builds it's
own engines, aXles, springs, trans
missions and clutches, but all car
bodies as we'll. Only two manufac-
turers, who build in quantity,
make their own bodies. One is
Studebaker; the other is the Ford
Motor company
Studebaker points out:
"Other builders buy their car
bodies from outside body builders,
who of course must collect their
profit. The builders pay this prof
it, include it in their costs, then
figure their own profit on top of it,
compounding the final cost to the
buyer.
what is true of bodies also is
true of engines. Eighteen builders
buy their engines outside and
twenty Eight others assemble en-
gines from various parts bought
elsewhere, in this case doubly
compounding the profits for con-
sumers to pay.
"The same thing is true Of axles,
springs, transmissions, clutches,
and other important parts.
"The buyer pays when he pur-
chases a car not manufactured
under the advantages Studebaker
enjoys. He pays many profits in
stead of one, and these many prof
it's are not represented by anything
in the car itself. AS high as $500
of the purchase price of an as
sembled car may represent un-
necessary profits"
Building it's cars complete, de-
clares Studebaker, enables it to
put finer steel, finer wood, finer
upholstery, better workmanship
and hundreds of thousands of
miles of reserve transportation into
every car, and yet keep the price
down.
Studebaker summarizes the one
profit advantages as follows:
Longer life, because all vital
units are designed to operate in
harmony.
Greater riding comfort because
springs and chassis are scientifi-
cally designed to. function with a
body also designed and built by the
same engineers.
! Greater freedom from repair ex-
pense because strains and stresses
of each moving part are deter
mined accurately before the car is
built and are spread evenly over
| mated parts.
Greater resale value because the
tremendous reserve mileage, rug
gedness and stamina built into
them can not be exhausted in
years Of service.
More than 500 car assemblers.
which passed on these compounded
profits into the prices exacted
from buyers, have gone out of
business. Studebaker's domination
of the fine car field is an exempli-
fication of the sound economic pol
icy of complete manufacture which
has given it that position.

A LESSON LEARNED.

IN THE midst of plenty and pros
perity in a land like the United
States, it is necessary for the peo-
pie to realize the advantages which
they enjoy, if they are to fully ap-
preciate them. Without this un-
derstanding and appreciation, the
agitator, who if he could would
undermine the ideals of our consti-
tutional form of government with
his socialistic doctrines and ex-
The Winslow mail., 1925-07-14

perlments, has an easy field in
which to work
The American people have paid
for some dear lessons in the school
of experience, when they have per-
mitted themselves to be led astray
from the basic principles laid
down by the founders Of this coun-
try.
During the last thirty years we
| have witnessed the passage OF
drastic legislation, which severely
handicapped the full play of pri-
vate initiative and enterprise. Such
legislation seemed necessary to
curb the greed and rapacity of the
few who would trample on the
rights of the many.
But conditions improved, until
/ today, so-called 'big business, -
which a few years ago was looked
upon by many as a curse to the
nation, is now considered essen
tial to it's proper development.
Commenting on this reaction in
public sentiment, which is based
on reason and understanding in
stead Of blind prejudice, Henry
Ford in a recent issue of his Dear
/ born Independent asks a question,
as to whether the business system
has learned it's lesson from past
experience and will profit from the
! same.
1t is safe to say that it has
learned and it has also profited.
A great industry today is no longer
a one-man institution. Instead it
is owned by thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of everyday
| American citizens who have a voice
in its management.
There is no question but what
this change in ownership has been
responsible in large degree for
the change in sentiment toward
business generally.
Rational consideration of busi-
ness generally
Rational consideration of busi-
ness problems has been brought
about as our people have gained a
better understanding of the ques-
tions at issue. They see that short
sighted policies of few industrial
! leaders, which ignored basic prin-
cipIes of justice and fair play in
business, are not sufficient grounds
! for condemning all ''big business. p"
They have found that in order to
| correct abuses in special cases, it
is not necessary to apply the rem
edy to all business alike whether
it needs it or not.
With experience has come under
standing. Today the cry "big
business" arouses no anxiety The
public cares not how big busi-
ness gets, so long as it is conduct
ed honestly and in the public in
terest.
That our greatest industries are
fully aware of their duty and obli-
CATION to the public is evidenced
by the fact that their brightest ex-
ecutives are in charge of or devote
a share of their time to the public
relations work of their companies,
in order that the public may know
of, and if it so desires, share in the
ownership and management OF
such companies.
