ROSEBURG, OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10. 1M9.
THE USpS
Professor Harry Elmer Barnes of Smith college, ad
- dressing the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, declares that man, instead of beinf the lord of all
creation, is only a "temuorary chemical episode" on an in
significant planet Vhich he described as a "celestial juvenile !
and cosmic dwarf. This, says Professor Barnes, is clearly
proved by modern science, and because of it we must furnish
ourselves with an entirely new- conception of God. This
sounds a trifle depressing to those of us who will cling to
the .old-fashioned notions about souls, immortality and so
on. However, it is only fair to point out that science hasn't
proved anywhere near as much as Professor Barnes secxa
to think it has. What he is giving us is not the hard-and-fast
conclusions of modern science, but his own opinions.
Every so often some man of learning surveys the facts and
theories which science has produced, drirws his own conclu
sions, and announces these conclusions to the world as facts.
There is an intolerance and a dogmatism to it as unpleasai'.t
as the intolerance and dogmatism of the medieval theology
which the scientists so abhrr. For instance: Professor
Barnes has evolved in his mind a new conception of man;
therefore he demands a new conception of God. Who needi
it? Surely not those of us who fail to see eye to eye with
him on his new conception of man. And if he is correct,
why should any "temporary chemical episode" peed any
conception of God at all? His little speech is valuable, how
ever. It illustrates antlv the
keen, glistening tool called science. For science, while it is There's nuthinodii9uitin' as
making us rich pud free, anj is preparing us' for the larger ! 9ln' horn to find the wahin' ma

of life some of its highest values, and leaving us far worse
.'off than we were before. If, just at the moment when it U
! releasing us from countless old shackles and launching us
.'mi a new golden agu, science should convince us that we aro
;mere accidents of cosmic chemistry, devoid of souls and
iloomed to ai) eternal death after a few brief yean of activ-
ity then we should not be beginning a golden age, but an
'age of great darkness. Luckily, however, science isn't do
ing anything of the kind. It is presenting us w ith a tra-
. rVndous variety of new facts, and to date no one has comc
'lor ward big enough and far-sighted enough to harmonize.
;-.nq interpret them for us properly. Eventually the povt of
the new day will arise, just as it has always happened bc
fore. Meanwhile, jt might bo well to bear in mind that there
is vast difference between the established conclusion.! o
science und (he ideas of individual professtrs.
English is rapidly discarding its long words and be
coming a language of monosyllables, according to Prof. Otto
Jespcr.-en of Denmark. British savants, following the na
tional custom of blaming every new development on Amer
ica, say that it's our fault. Maybe it is; if so, we ought ta
be proud of it. Short words make language a flexible, easi'v
nmsteitd instrument. Consider some of the jaw-wrenchcrs
that other languages contain. In Finland, for instance, a
'r:xifpaer tar company has to advertise itself as a "huopa
paperitervakattotervatcldasnsakeyhtio." ,, In Danish the old
age pension law is "varemiu'ikcindrogistrcrcngskontrol-
kalerne." "Highness," in Russian, Is "vysokoprevoskhodit
ulstwo." The abstinence movement in Poland is "wstrzem
;ic7.liwosc." If we are tending more and more to one-syllable
words, we may be very glad of it.
Evidence of the substantial growth of the News-Re-view
is the fact that during the months of November aivl
. December of the year just closed 21'i new subscribers, un
