MORE 4NTI-ETOLUTION

Mississippi follows the example Of Tehhessee and
several other states in banning evolution. The state
legislature makes it unlawful to teach in taX-suppor
ed schools that ascended descended from low
er animals
Apparently it is still possible to teach the evolu-
tonary doctrine in private schools parocha schools
or in the press or pulpit the lecture platform or
street corner If so it cannot be held that free
dom of opinion freedom of education is really
Stifled.
1t may be all right for taxpayers, through their
legislatures forbid the advocacy in the schools they
support of ideas they object to. But il sensible for
them to forbid telling children what the theories
in an impartial way so that the young people will not
be ignorant of them, part of civilized education?
Any intelligent person is to find out something
about evolution anyway, later, and decide
for himself whether to accept it not. Why not get
if straight at first?

BEGG CASE DECISION

Charge Against Representatives.

Police File Papers.

After deliberating more than 4S
hours over what to do with the
case, police of the tenth precinct to-

Pvt. Tolson Of the precinct.
Mr.. Begg, while admitting he was
at the restaurant in company with two
other youths, who also were arreSl ed
emphatically denies that he had pos.
session of a quart OF gin police say
they found under a table at which he
was seated and denies also that he was
drinking or had been drinking.
A solution of the case. however, is eX.
pected tomorrow. Acting under direc-
ton of Maj. Edwin Il. tieSSe chief of
police, police of the tenth precinct are
TO file information papers concerning
the case with Assistant District Attor-
ney David Hart, who will decide
whether the youth is to be brought to
trial or if the charges are to be
quaShed.
The application to the district attor-
neyS office, however, 1t is stated au-
thoritatively, was to be taken only as
"a matter of police routine, because the
charge had been entered on the blotter
at the precinct, and doubt was eX-
pressed if there was any ease

minimum all formalities, prohibitions
and restrictions; to remove Unequal
tiles of treatment in other matters

of passengers and goods. In some
countries powerful voices are pleading
for the suspension of tariffs. alto
gether.
"Others have suggested the conclu-
sion for long periods of commercial
agreements embodying in every case
the most favored nation clause.
'Some states have recognized in re-
cent treaties the necessity Of freeing
trade from the restrictions which de-
press it. And experience is slowly
teaching others that the breaking
down Of the economic barriers be-
tween them may prove the surest
remedy for the stagnation which eX-
lists. On the valuable political results
which might flow from such policy,
from the substitution of good will for

to place on record our conviction that
the establishment of economic free
dom Is the best hope of restoring the
commerce and the credit of the world"

later the President and Mrs. Coolidge
will enter the spacious chamber. The
Queen will be introduced to them by
Mr.. Wright. President Coolidge is
expected to do no more than bow and
accept the Queens hand. After the
introduction and exchange of greet
ings, Princess Ileana and Prince Mich
olas will be presented to them by the
Queen. 1t was not expected that the
few formalities at the White House
would require more than 10 minutes.
Leaving the White House, the
Presidents car will convey the royal
party back to the legation. At 4:30
o'clock, the President and Mrs. Cool
idge, in keeping with diplomatic Gus
tom, will return the call. This will be
hardly more than the mere formality
OF extending to them in person an in
vitation to dine at the White House
tonight.
Preparations for the state dinner
in honor OF the royal party at 8
o'clock and the reception to follow it,
were not fully divulged early today.
The dinner, it was said, will be at

as the usual diplomatic dinner at the
White House has seats for about 80
guests.

the Cabinet, the Queens own party
and members of the Rumanian lega-

Queen Marie Of Rumania and Mrs.

Queen Marie will observe all the rigid

an official call upon the President and

hour for the exchange Of courteSies

visit to the White House. her majesty
will be accompanied by her two chill

Immediately after the return of the
royal party to the legation the Pres1-

be more than a half hours duration.
Tonight the Queen and her party
again will be guests at the White

ton, prior to their departure from

Gates to Be Closed.
Immediately upon the return of the
royal party from a trip to Mount Yer

paratory arrangements for the wei
coming Of Queen Marie. The gates

There has been much speculation
as to the manner in which the Presi-
