state supreme court in the Alder
holt murder case, was that the
trial court was in error in per
mitting witnesses TO be ques-
toned about their religious be
liefs and that this error was, in
effect. d denial Of the rights Of
the defendants under the consti-
tutional guarantee of religious
freedom
Several Of the witnesses in the
Aderholt trial held unorthodox
views on religion. and this fact
was brought out with the OBJ
vlous motive Of creating dlstrust
in the minds Of an orthodox jury.
4 witness was asked about his
belief in a God just as he might
be asked, for example. whether
ne had ever served a Jail SEN
tence for bank robbery or jer-
jury or fraud.
Il is the practice of all courts.
10 allow q wide latitude in the
cross-examination Of witnesses
for the purpose Of establishing
or impugnlng their credibility.
and in It's decision handed down
last week the supreme court held
that the questions relating TO re-
ligious opinion did not violate
TIE defendants constitutional
rights The court does not deny
that an agnostic may be a com
petent witness; that is. that he
may be properly permitted to
testify II merely says that his
religious or non-rellplous beliefs
may be brought to the jury's at
tentlon.
No doubt this is good law, by
the letter, but We believe that
most thoughtful people Will
agree with the opinion that K
K. Clark expresses in the Greens
boro Ne1rS. namely. that in
quiry as to the religious views
Of witness is made mot so
much for the purpose Of giving
the jury the opportunity to de-
termine whether the Witness is
worthy Of belief as to create
prejudice in the minds Of the
jurors that will cause them to
dlscredit the testimony because
Of. dislike Of the witnesses per
sonal attitude toward matters
that may not have the remotest
connection with the case at bar
and without reference TO his
character or reputation.
Mr.. Clark continues:
With that, the scope of cross
examination could be extended
and a new weapon, or one that
has been rarely used, put into
l. l ri.
We are theoretically a religious
people and the average North
Carolina jury, whether. or not
composed entirely of protesting
Christians, would be inclined to
discredit testimony when it was
disclosed on cross-examination
that the religious views of the
witness were unorthodox-that
is, not in accord with the views
generally taught and held in the
community. The liberty to go
into this matter would make it
possible to discredit persons who
are non-professors, who have
formed no church connection
certainly those who might have
no settled religious beliefs, no es-
tablished convictions, would be
undone to begin with. It is ad-
mitted that there can be some de-
bate as to whether such inquiry
is an infraction of the right. of
conscience, although the belief
here is that the effect is the same
as a denial of religious freedom

JOIN FOR G., N. LINK
Bresents Brief in Favor Of Ex.
tension of Line to Join

The railroad boards Of North Da-
kota and Montana have joined in pre-
senting to the Interstate Commerce
commission the brief asking that per-
mission be granted to the Great
Northern and Western Pacific rail-
roads to Join their lines by construct
ing additional. mileage in western
California.
Because their positions were iden.
tical and the reasons for supporting
the project were the same, the two
state commissions decided to present
their arguments in a joint brief.
The contend that a new and addi-
tional route between these states and
California would be of great benefit
for reasons which arc set forth In
detail.
II the new route is constructed, the
brief AYERS. rates to North Dakota
and Montana will be materially re-
duced since it will make available q
new North Pacific coast railroad gate

Much of the traffic between these
states and California is handled
through so-called southern gateways at
higher rates than could be justified
if the two railroads were permitted
to join their trackage as proposed.

that the route would offer an
important freight and passenger serv-
ice between the near Northwest and

With reference to general business

ELECTRIC SUN RAYS
Lamp IS DEVELOPED
Will Supply Health Benefits Of
Sunlight for Those Who
Remain Indoors

New York, Jan. 28.-ReAn cleo
trio lamp for general $ which will
give off healthful rays like sunlight
is in the process Of development by
engineers.
DR.. M. Luckeish, director Of light
ing research for the National Elec-
trio Lamp works Of the General
Electric company described the lamp
at the convention of electrical en-.
gineers last night and outlined the
possibilities seer for it when per-
fected.
The lamp contains tungsten fila
ment such as is used In ordinary light
bulbs together with a mercury tube.
Heat from the filament vapori:es the
mercury creating an arc which Is
completed almost instantly after the
current is turned on. The tungsten
emits 68 per cent of the light, the
mercury arc Is per cent and the fila
ment Z per cent.
This light" DR.. Luckeish said, 'is
the first practical source for stimu.
lating cunlight which has been de-
veloped with a possible new era Of
lighting in mind.
THE new ere aims at simulated
sunlight, adequate and proper fol
vision in addition supplying health
benefits Of sunlight to those who
work and play indoors"
DR.. Luckeish said there is evidence
that the benefits Of the simulated
sunlight q be obtained by persons
wearing ordinary clothing whose faces
and hands are exposed only, but said
that in nurseries, schools and gym
nasiums, greater benefits could be Oh
tanned by wearing Of less clothing.
