THE OBSERVATORY
Evolution Not Transyolutien
BY CASTOR R. Coyner.

Evolution Not Transvolutioh
There is such thing as evolution
but there is not such a thing as trans
volution. Evolutionists to-day talk as
if one thing can evolve into some
thing altogether different. That is an
impossibiIity. You can plant potatoes
for 10000 years and at the end OF
that time you would not have onions
but potatoes. Evolution means an un-
folding, growth, development, and not
change from one thing into some
thing else altogether different.
grain of corn unfolding into plant
with large stock and full ears, is
the process called evolution. A child
growing into man or woman might
be called the process of evolution. But
this thing of man descending or a
scending from the lower animals or
all the world evolving from a single
cell is not evolution but it is one big
unfounded, absured, LIE. You can
call it an hypothesis if you wish, If
that sounds better, but the fact re-
mains that it is story that has not
particle of evidence for proof
Every so-called evolutionist that
talk to, when pinned down, will al
ways say: 20, of course, it is only
theory and will likely be set aside
in years to come" But how about
those whose faith has been wrecked
by such theory? Reader, you can go
to Judgement guilty Of teaching evo-
luton as il is taught in our schools
to-day, but that is one thing this writ
er will not have to answer for. God
created man in his own image; in TIE
image Of God creaed He him. Cen

because everybody else is on his way

| suppose such a person would say:
Everybody else is jumping into the

1t is really touching and pitifuI
thing to see so many people that have
been blinded by the world and have
enough power to tear the bandages
from their eyes. They seek after evil
pleasures of the world; their con
sciences become esared as with
hot iron, and they will stand up and
tell you that the most sinful practices
can be used in a Christian way. All
| say is, may God who is good and
kind pity their poor souls.
Entire sanctification is the most
beautiful experience that can come to
Christian. More would have the ex-
perience but they are afraid they
might become too far separated from
from the world. Then, too, they do
not seek for it "The will of God, even
your sanctification." Thessalonians

Strenuous efforts will be put forth
by the Democrats to capture the sen
ate and house. Democrats know of the
wonderful popularity of President
Coolidge with the people. If they can
capture congress, they hope to thwart
future policies of the president and
expect the people in the next two
years to forget the successes of his
administration and elect a Democrat
candidate for president.

hopeful of repeating their success Of
fous years ago. In that campaign,
they elected five of the six con

and controlled the house of delegates.
Whether they repeat in this off-year

and the Republican majority but few

election as state chairman two years
ago Judge Graham has had in mind
and purpose the maintenance of per-

French War Veterans

Banning Their Parade

PARIS, July 1.-THE French Union
of War Veterans are determined to go
ahead with their demonstration next
Sunday against the U. s. debt settle
ment, regardless of the prohibition of
the government at the behest Of the
American ambassador, Myron T. Her
rick, who has let it be known that the
American government will consider
the demonstration an insult" The
banks also asked the government to
forbid the demonstration.
A rift has opened in the previous
friendly relations between the war
veterans association and the Amer
lean patriotic organizations such as
the Paris post of the American Legion,
The French veterans asked the legion
to participate, and found its invitation
holly rejected.
The legion, the banks and the Amer
lean ambassador state that the French
veterans association is in the hands
of radicals and even Communists" as
one reason for opposition. The dem
onstration planned is a parade of the
veterans from the tomb of the un-
known soldier to the statue Of George
Washington in the Place d'Iena.

CHAMBER
FORCES CABINET
into A RETREAT

PARIS, July 11.-Opposition in the
chamber of Disputes indicates the
BRAND government will be forced to
retreat on its proposal to be granted
plenary powers both on the settle
ment of the u. S. debt and the adop-
ton of the experts plan for national
economic changes, called the "stabil-
ization" measure,
"The government is afraid to an
swer," was the cry that kept coming
from all over the house yesterday as
the combined right and left opposition
voiced their particular complaints.
On the debt question Franklin-Bouil-
Ion Of the right led the attack declar-
ing that grant of plenary powers as
asked would be veritable abdica-
ton of parliament and violate the
national sovereignty"
Attacks Trick Clause.
Article seven of the agreement
provides that America may CONNER
cialize the debt-what paradox if one
day Germany presents these demands
to France for payment of sums which
Germany should have paid herself"
BRAND was forced to rise finally and
reply that the cabinet intends to wait
and submit the entire foreign debt pro-
gram after the British debt is settled
and when certain promised conces-
sions have been made by America.
When Franklin Bouillon had finish
ed by stating that concessions were
needed and that Andrew Mellon, Sec
rotary of the U. S. treasury had him
self said, "Ten billion dollars is not
worth as much as a prosperous Eu-
rope" Leon Blum of the socialists at

proposed by the BRAND government

Blum declared: h
Sterilization when the franc is
depreciating means a so per cent in
crease in prices and the cost OF living,
which means bigger circulation is
imperative, which means imitation and
consequent immediate depreciation

For the first time the socialists as
sented by indirection that the debts
should be paid and not cancelled.

RIVALRIES OF
IMPERIALISTS
STIR PEKING
Charges and Counter
Charges Fly About

PICKING, July 1.-THE foreign dele
safes to the Chinese customs confer
ence are having nearly as hard a fight
between themselves as are the Chinese
armies contending at the gates of
Picking for control of the city.
The British have issued an official
statement saying that they are willing
to abide by all provisions of the
Washington treaty, and intends TO
grant surtaxes there specified and is
prepared to discuss any reasonable
proposal offered by Chinese delegates.
This is aimed to Offset what is sup
posed to be Japanese propaganda" to
the effect that the British and Amer
leans we're wishing to wreck the con-
ference and picturing Japan as China's
only friend in the conference.
1t is claimed that the Japanese have
sent news broadcast that the confer
ence is breaking up and the delegates
returning home. Japan, it is claimed
by British and Americans, is willing
to waive her extra-territorial rights
if China will give her preferential
, tariff aimed at excluding British anC
American trade.
Japan seems to have become en-
couraged since her satrap, Chang Tso
lin, has gained control, not only Of
Manchuria, but of the Picking dis
trict.
