Has the Day of Judgement Arrived? JS THE world really going to hell? Two recent happenings, one not in the state of Oregon, the other in the state, require comment. The first is the rather astonishingly bitter battle, or undignified fracas, at present being waged over the anti evolution teaching law of Tennessee. The second is a letter appearing in the Oregonian on May 18 in which a “Taxpayer” charges the University of Oregon with exerting an irreligious influence on the students in attendance there. At first thought these two incidents may not appear to have much in common, other than the peculiar type of narrpw mindedness as displayed by the utterances of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taxpayer. However, each is indicative of the same movement and each is indicative of a certain attitude of mind on the part of an apparently growing number of the population. Persons of this class have somehow come to feel the responsibility of being “their brother’s keeper” and they are deadly serious about carrying out this self-appointed mission. They are so deadly in earnest about it because they really believe that if they don’t the world “will go to hell,” “the eternal namnation bow wows,” or “what-not.” Mr. Bryan said in a speech delivered in Brooklyn on last Monday defending the now-famous Tennessee law forbidding the teaching of evolution in the public schools, “We must win if the world is to be saved.” Mr. Taxpayer in his letter in the Oregonian quotes a man as saying that “he believed the University was responsible for many of its students going to j hell.” There is a remarkable similarity in the fundamental thought, or mental slant, in those two sentences. Each shows a sublime confidence, a self-righteous smugness, on the part of those indi viduals in their own godliness and in their self-ordained an- ] thority to instruct others as to what is right and what is wrong. They fane ythey already hear the keys of St. Peter jingling in their santimonious pockets, and now they must show others the Light. “If you believe as T do you are right, if you don't believe as I do you are wrong,’’ is the tenor of their pious chant. That there may still be some open questions in the field of ethics, religion, and moral conduct apparently is inconceivable to this type of mind. Mr. Taxpayer writes. “We expect our state insti tutions of learning to prepare their graduates to right the wrongs of mankind, to prevent civilization from rushing head long over the brink of destruction, to find a correct solution ; to the mooted problems of peace and war. the industrial issue I between capital and labor, the growing menace of crime.” Fearsome phraseology, true, but carrying far more of an unintelligent emotional appeal by instilling uncritical fear than demonstrating a careful, thoughtful and judical analysis of con-! ditions. He speaks of finding correct solutions to various prob lems, once again giving insight into the style of thought which ! is blind to various shades of gray but cannot see other than , black and white. It is such as he who dream of Utopia, where all is smooth, ] smug, atrophic “perfection,” and where the thrills of combat ing resistance and the exotic stimulation of vigorous living j are blandly denied entrance and condemned as evil. “Many of its students have gone to hell!” Who shall say? Surely not Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taxpayer—any more than that those whom they declare as lost should judge others, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taxpayer included, as themselves having gone to hell. Would it not seem more consistent, even judicious, if these < persons who so vigorously condemn their brothers would allow God to care for his children, resting secure that He, in His wis dom, omnipotence and power, is amply fitted to care for the glory of His works without the officious, puny assistance of these heavenlier-than-thou calamity howlers? Fears for His incompetence are unnecessary. For life, after all, is not half bad, civilization has not yet “ijushed over the brink of destruction” and the Universe had been spinning merrily a long, long time before the first feeble squalls of Mr. Bryan and others disturbingly announced their arrival on our relatively minute and insignificant portion of His vast plan.

The first event on the program for Junior Week-end is scheduled for 5:15 o’clock this afternoon, when the battalion parade of the University R. O. T. C. unit will be held on the drill grounds south of the barracks. A large number of students and townspeople have witnessed the weekly parades of the unit, and have noted the steady improvement in the drill during the last month. The parade today will be in the nature of a demonstration of the work which has been done by the military department during the year, and, with the incorporation of several new features, promises to be the best that has yet been given. Colonel John Leader, who was in charge of military affairs on the University campus during the World war, will witness the parade, as the guest of Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Sinclair, commander of the local R. O. T. C. unit. Although now a resident of Victoria. B. C., Colonel Leader has followed with interest the work and development of the military unit on the campus, since his departure, following the war. “Whether or not the ceremonies will be in the nature of a parade or a military review has not as yet been decided, but in all probabil ity a parade will be held, ns this ^s the more impressive ceremony,” mid Captain F. L. Culin, executive officer of the R, O. T. C. depart ment. Efforts have been made to se. cure a cameraman of the Oregon Tournal’s “Webfoot Weekly” news •eel, to take moving pictures of his and other events during Jun ior Week-end, but no defiiite ar rangements have been completed.
