little to batter down the bars Of partisan feeling
over the moot point of evolution.
No matter what ones belief the point may be,
however, it is freely admitted by most fair minded
persons that the prohibiting Of the teaching of
copied theories of evolution cannot be justified by
any arguments advanced SO far. 1t amounts to sup
preston Of knowledge, which, in this day and age,
is serious matter. During the middle ages it was
policy for feuda lords prohibit education, for it
might influence vassals revolt against their liege
masters. Probably the theory is in vogue in
"anti-evolution' states today, where certain
element fears that too much knowledge on the sub
ject will influence thinking people to strike off the
letters Of venerated dogma and subscribe to belief
that is more acceptable to modern mentalitcs and
conditions.
Mr.. Scopes in himself was not important, nor is
he now. He was merely an instrument whereby
more millions Of persons stimulated to ind
vidual thought and speculation. 1t is safe to say
that majority Of these millions resent any measure
such as the ant-evouton law, the purpose Of which
is to throttle intelligence

The mysterious letter, copied from
the original in Bob Hathaway's neat,
small handwriting. like copperplate,
engraving, was brief and ominous:
"I'll be out of this hell soon, Cluny,
and you've got to make restitution.
Ten years of hell from which. you
might have saved me if you had not
lain down on the job. Drunk when
you made your summation before the
jury. Drunk! Good God! And I've
paid by ten years in hell for your
spree.
"You cannot give me back the ten
years, but l shall hold YOU to an ac-
counting for the fortune you took
from me to defend me. Defend me!
God, l could tear out the bars of
this damnable place with my bare
hands when | think of you and the
weakened. doddering, drunken de-
Tense plea you put up for me.
II shall come out a penniless, pre-
maturely old man. But you shall re-
store to me the fortune you took
from me for what no right minded
lawyer would consider a defense. If
you do not--but you know me, Cluny.
You know that if you do not meet
my. just demands, you will pay. This
is the last warning ! shall give you.

what a horrible letter." Faiths
hands quivered away from the sheet
with disgust. ut should be easy to
trace the writer, darling. Oh, it is Il
clue, isn't it,"
Bob's face was more grave than
she expected it to be. Pm afraid it
won't be SO easy as it looks, sweet
heart. The original letter was writ
ten by a very crafty man. Crazy, Of
course, but crafty with the cunning
of the insane. AS you see. there is
no date. The original was not even
written. It was done entirely in
words and letters cut from news
paper and pasted upon sheet of
plain white typewriting paper. which
hasn't even watermark to help u.s."
"But if b was in prison, and had
been defended by Mr.. Cluny, it is
safe to assume that he was in a state
prison here, isn't it, Faith asked.
HE might have been a federal
prisoner in Leavenworth or Atlanta,
or in some other prison." Bob point
ed out. "Unfortunately the envelope
was NOT kept"
But he says this was last warn

you find other letters from him?"

The Censorship Mania
New York Times)

Judging by one days proceedings at Albany. the
rage Tor setting up censors is still affecting many
members of the legislature. If they could have their
way, somebody would be censoring everybody. The
latest proposal is for censorship of broadcastinp
This has nothing to do with the assignment of wave
lengths or with the pretty ways of announcers but
with the programs provided by the various stations
THESE would be severely scrutinized and, on occa-
sion, eviscerated by some kind of public utility
board. Then we have once more the bill to censor
book publishers Instead Of acting with Governor
Smith to abolish the existing censorship of moving
PICTURES that is to be kept and there are to be CEN
sors for the spoken drama well. All these plans
are put forward in the name of public morality,
which is said to be certain to 90 to smash unless
there is official censor morum for every activity
of social life
The probability is that none of these bills will be
enacted into law. The arguments against them are
too many and conclusive. Yet the very appearance
OF such measures, with the backing which they have
from many good people, is dsquieting indication
OF the mounting desire in this country to control
and standardize everything. The trait of Angle
Saxon character known "eanestness" has been
happily defined rs meaning an overwhelming i'm
pulse to make everybody else exactly like yourself
something OF that idea evidently underlies the con-
tnued demand for censOrshps as varied as life it.
SELF Fortunately, the tendency, even Of the legs
lative mind today, seems to be to depend more
upon general laws for the protection Of public NOR
ais than upon special statutes designed to fit mul
tpcity Of things; and At the same time to call upon
publishers. theatrical producers the movie industry

Bob asserted defiantly. "Uncle Ralph

King George could specialize in
