Ials who do not hesitate to employ any means, ev.
len to cold blooded murder, to accomplish their
purposes Of theft and robbery, is something that
challenges the best thought Of our most able and
lfar-seeing friends of the commonwealth.
To what extent the legislature can deal
with this problem in an effectual way is not
$50 easily ascertained. Time and again there
have been epochs in the worlds history when
crime has apparently run rampant and it seems
that just now we are passing through one of the
worst of these.
It goes without saying that any considera-
tion that the legislature give this subject will
be time and effort well spent and whatsoever
can be done to help stem the tide of lawlessness
will be most heartily endorsed by long suffer
ing public.
By the daily papers we note that another
problem may be injected into the turmoil OF
Legislation this session that is entirely new in
this state. We refer to the so-called antievolu-
ton bll-a bill designed to prohibit the teaching
of evolution in state supported institutions.
In its essence this is religious subject and
as there is no subject more prolific of conten-
ton and controversy than a religious one there
lis no doubt that this will add very picturesque
element to the present session, if it ever gets
"going good" On both sides of this controversy
there are hopeless fanatics and they surely will
be able to set the legislators pulling each others
hair if they get half change.
But we believe that the present legislature
will refuse to be turned into debating club on
such monkey business" as this-not that We do
not consider the subject one of Importance, but
we doubt seriously it's right to place upon a
Legislative program.
The problem of highways, economy in ex-
penditures, tax legislation, bus transportation
and multitude of other subjects will occupy at
tention.
This legislature will meet these problems
las other legislatures have met them-to the best
of it's ability. 1t will do some good work and
make some mistakes, just other legislatures
have done.
But the people should remember one thing,
and that is not to expect too much. The legis-
lature is composed of nearly two hundred men
and women, whose minds must meet and the ma
jority of whom must agree in order to make
any action effective.
If the people would help the legislators to
eliminate factionalism and sectionalism, much
could be accomplished often the people fan
the flames of these two destructive elements
