Ben M. Bogard of Little Rock, presi-

against the Daily News, asking $50 900
damages for an editorial which appeared

to put over the anti-evolution measure,

question with him" Reciting the fact
that Smith had returned to Arkansas
in connection with the present anti
evolution bill and was now in jail at
Little Rock, the editorial continued:
