A most hopeful view of business prospects as the result
of recovery from war conditions, was given by the recent
aadress of the retiring president of the International Cham

gjtve reason to believe that the losses of the war would be
made up much sooner than had been expected. The war
burdens would seem rather light if a large gain in produc
tion methods could be secured. Take the case of the Amer
ican war debt. The sum of $20,000,000,000 seems an enor
mous burden. Yet it is only about $180 for every man,

tical difficulty would remain of finding a market for all this

foreign demand for American products has fallen off
some instances, is not so much that these war debts form
ah insuperable difficulty, as that the world is still fearful of

WHAT IS PROFIT..
Profit, according to some of the old school arithmetics,
is the difference between the price which a merchant pays i
for an article and the price for wthich he sells it. Some
merchants and accountants call it gross profit.
. In modern trade language both are wrong. Only a
small part of the difference between the cost price and the
selling price is profit. Out of the difference must come the
expenses which sometimes absorb from ninety to ninety
five per cent of the entire margin.
How numerous these expenses arc, is indicated, by the
following list suggested for study by the National Distribu
tion Conference organized under the auspices of the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States:
Wages, rent, heat, light, power, telephone, supplies, cost
of capital, bad debts, freight and cartage, losses due to mark
downs, returns and pilfering; unknown losses due to other
causes and mistakes; deliveries, selling on approval, small
purchases, long credits, styles demanding a wide variety,
taxes, size of territory, decentralization of purchases by
merchant and consumer, turnover, buying by the merchant
in small shipments and broken packages.
If tho retail merchant succeeds in meeting all these
costs out of the margin between buying and selling prices,
what is left is profit. If not, he is out of pocket and out of
luck.

Fires are already breaking out in the hills. The duty
to sow no seeds of fire is on everyone. It falls particularly
on the vacationists now swarming the woods. Tho experi
enced outdoor man grinds. tobacco leavings and match stubs
into the dust with his heel. The campfiro should be built
only on bare ground, should never be left unattended, and
should be thoroughly extinguished before the camp is left.
The forests will be open as long as Hie public respects the
rules for safeguarding them, otherwise they will eventually
be closed during the summer to protect our timber resources.

put over what he'a put off."
I Uy CLARK K1N.NAIRD
. Central i'ress Service Writer.
I Only uninformed persons have
, the idea that "evolution" is some
I theory hatched by Charles Darwin,
I and that evolution la founded on
the belief that man is descended
from monkeys.
I Darwinism is not a term synony
, mous with evolution. e
I No scientist worthy of the name
today believes that monkeys are
an ancestor of man.
Evolution itoes much farther
back than Charles Darwin.
That all living organisms have
i been derived by gradual evolution
I from simpler forms was an Idea
' proposed by the ancient Greeks.
In the thousands of years that
have followed many have conjec
tured at the mechanism that might
have produced this evolution. But
I not until the later years of the
: eighteenth century and the be
ginning of the nineteenth century
did any thinkers base their ex
planations of evolution on actual'
observations. Among these early
j thinkers there stand out the names
of Iluffnn, Krasmus Darwin, grand
father of Charles, Lamarck and
itioelhe, who was a great biologist
as well as a great poet.
Charles Darwin's name is asso
ciated wilh evolution more strong
ly lhan any other because he pop
ularized it, and because he was the
center of an evolution controversy
similar in some respects to the
Scopes rase, that was stirred up
in Knglund half a century ago.
Since Darwin's time his ideas
have been modified and much has
been added to them. His greatness
as a scientist remains unqualified.
I As one scientist says: "Science al
Iways Is changing as new research
ers are made. It Is no more to be
expected that Darwin should have,
been entirely right than that the
ancient Greeks should have been
entirely right: nor is it to be ex
pected that modern science is en
tirely right."
From Main Stem, Branches.
Kvolutlon does not teach and
never haa taught, the scientists
say, that man was descended from
a monkey. What it does teach is
that man belongs to the order of
DARWIN
m
Will'
Charles - Darwin, author of
"The OriKio of the Specie."
tlu "ri mates or higher forms of
life bU:h emprsed about the dawn
of a remote or the Eocene era;
and that man, the various types of
monkeys, apes and other of the
hither animal forms are something
like remote cousins.
In other words, all came from a
common ancestor. Man no more
descended from the monkey or the
ape than the latter descended from
man, says evolution.
Recently evidence was diijc up
which tends to indicate that man
preceded monkeys on the earth.
From tho main Btem of the pri
mates there were various bran
ches. First, the South American
monkey, than the Old World Mon
keys, then ages later, from Ihe
main stem, "the branch now rep
resented by the small anthropoid
apes, the babbon and the sin man.
Distinctly later there diverged the
branch of the larRer anthropoid
apes the gorilla, the chimpamee
and the orang.'
That, It is explained, left "a gen
eralized humanoid stock separated
off from the monkeys and apes,
and Including the Immediate pre
cursors of man." Here, at leant,
say the scientists, we are getting
somewhere, safely away from the
detested, degrading monkey, whom
nobody wants, and need have, for
an ancestor. And the time of this
definite separation is estimated at
anything like 500.000 to 2,000,000
years ago. No danger of identi
fying ancestors there, by any
lengthening out of anybody's fam-
lly tree, comfort the exponents of
1 evolution. This separation. It Is
. definitely believed, took place in
Asia, and man began his own long
ages of development.
Evidence for S cotters.
To those who question the proof
or evidence of evolution wilh re
spect to man, scientists give many
answers Professor Conklln of
Princeton university declares that
''everything which speaks of the
evolution of plants and animals
speaks plainly of the evolution of
man. In the structure of fhe hu
man body there is scarcely a bone,
muscle, nerve or other organ that
does not have its counterpart In
the higher primates, and especial
ly the anthropoid apes."
And if we reject the natural ex
planation of herditary descent
from a common ancestor, we can
only suppose that the Deity, in
creating man, tok the most scrup
ulous pains to make him in the
Image of the beast.
A common demand of the doubt
ers Is that evidence be furnished,
"while they wait," as to how evo
lution works. There are thought
less persons, says Joseph McCabe,
who ask why we cannot turn a
man-like ape into a man. "They
never ask,' he says, "whether we
could turn a negrp or a red Indian
Into a white European. Yet the
white, black and red men had a
common ancestor, probably less
than o.OOO years aeo, whereas It
Is certainly more than 1, On0.no
years, probably 2,000.000 to 3.000,
000 years, since the common an
cestor of the ape and man lived."

j clara it unconstitutional for some '
technical reason, spoiling the j

. ter exactly where It was before
Messrs. Reppleyea and Hicks
I evolved this case In Robinson's
drns; store.
I Many Tennessee lawyers assert
that tho Tennessee supreme court
is unite likely to reverse any con
viction of Scopes in the trial
.court, upon appeal, because of the
diversity of statement in tho cap
'tion and clause of thp act. Fur
thermore. John H. Cantrell, pre
sident of the chattanoona Har As
sociation and a Tennessee legal j
luminary, gives It as high opin
ion that a conviction under the i
; Hutler hill is impossible, because !
under a strict construction of the j
l.'uiEilucv of the act two enacted
, ivpes of teaching are required to
violate it. Klrst, to teach "any
theory that denies Ihe story of
tho divine creation of man as
, taught In the Ililile." and. second,
, "to toach instead that man is des
I tended from a lower form of
; animals." The teaching of nei
ther one of theso two things by
, itself constitutes a violation of
the act Cantrell contends, but
both must he taucht jointly.
It should be remembered that
the Issue of constitutionality has
no bearing on Ihe wisdom of folly
of the act simply upon the ques
tion of whether the leglslnture In
enacting It acted within powers
conferred upon it by the consti
tution or not.
The state argues that the Hut
ler act is an exercise by the state
of its constitutional right and
power lo direct Its own agencies.
It points out that state-supported
schools ar a function of tho
state: that the teachers In theso
schools are agents, official, func
tionaries, of the state; that their
salaries are met out of public
funds; that they are confined in
their ui of text honks to volumes
spoelMrallv selected by a state
sgpucy; that they are properly
sublet to the control of their em
ployer, the slate. In their duties

The llefenv Argument.
The state directs the length of
the school term: It appropriates
the hii'ldine: It establishes a tett
hook commission tn adopt text
hooks. Theoretically and consti
tutionally, the state legislature Is
voire of the people, being
course, has had Its power to act
for the people restricted by cer
tain declarations of the people in
! th-air state constitutions; but, ex
!,cept as it contravenes these, it la
j the people. In assembly, and is
i empowered to dirct the people's
' business. Such Is the line of ar
gnment of the slate,
j The defense holds that the legis
lature's right of guidance must be
within the limits Imposed by the
constitution; that it cannot over
step those bounds; and that tho
Duller act Interferes with the
rights of freedom of speech, of
I opinion and of religious worship.
Counsel for the derense may he
expected to make brilliant exposi
tion or the bill of riKhts of tlra
Vnlted States constitution and of
that of Tennessee; they may be
expected to say much of the ty
ranny of shackling free speech.
They will likely refer to the Ten
nessee constitution's Instruction to
the legislature to "cherish sclenco
and literature," and point out it
cannot he dona by forbidding any
instruction In a fundamental
scientific thesis.
Thus the battle will go.
The question ia an important
one. It ia highly desirable that
there be a clear opinion upon It.
Certatinly the state has a right to
control its agencies. Certainly
no state leglslnture has the slight
est right to throttle the freedom
of speech, or prevent the freedom
of accademlc inquiry. The line
between in thia case is a closo
one.
Mountain Justice.
H is unlikely that the matter
will be settled in Dayton.
Any Jury of 12 men good and
true assembled in these hills la
certain to convict young Scopes.
To them It will not be a matter
of free speech, but a case of
atheism vs. the Hible, and none
of them will hesitate in bringing
in a verdict.
Moieover. the mere presence of
Messrs. Harrow. Malone. et al. Is
sufficient to lose the case for
Scopes. The south must be pro
tected from the machinations of
meddling Yankee laweyers. partic
ularly "murder lawyers" like Har
row, and "scandal lawyers" like
Malone. A sidelight of the Leo
Frank case down In Georgia is
illuminating. When It was ail
over, and Frank was convicted, a
newspaperman asked one of tho
Jurors who sat In the trial: "What
convinced you that Frank was
guilty?"
"Wall," replied the Juror, who
sprang from the same stock aa
these hlllmen, "If he wasn't guilty,
what did he get all them hlgh
