What? More of the Direct Legislation And now comes the special tux-in-vestiBation commission, composed of I. N. Day, Walter M. Pierce and oth-1 cm, stutinif that the) present high taxes are not the product of a leg islature but are due to the people's own votes, which have been recorded favoring this thing and that thing un til the load has reached a terrific size. But listen tho commission says tho people arc o blame. T-h-c p-e-o-p-l-e! Wo have made our own bed and now we must lie in it, is prac tically the meaning of the special com mission in its statement relative to the finding it has made after examin ation of the state's business. If this is true, oh, where, where is that hallowed and divine institution called direct legislation? Where i.'. the cherished slogan "let the people rule"? Where, oh, where is the bat talion of orators and the newspaper.! whoiprated long and loud about the people? We have taken their medicine as they proscribed it and as a result we havo a slate almost bankrupt; wc have taken their medicine ns they have compounded it and we have sucn fine specimens of public officials as mOmbers of the public 'service com mission, who are not content with es tablishing telephone rates and stick ing to their decision, but resort to hurling smart sayings at the generul public; we have, after fifteen years of stupid doctoring with the U-liens an I the other political quacks, an enfeebl ed condition in Oregon where secret societies are endeavoring to dictate Darwin In Kentucky j It seems rather late In the day ; for public controversies over the inoory 01 evolution suggested oy Darwin and worked out by Huxley and Spencer. Thirty or 40 years ago it was regarded as a living issue. Laymen fought over It, and theologians maintained that relig ion and uiomlity were in thu bat ance. Now the majority of well- informed people cither, believe in evolution iwith moderate reserva tions as they believe In gravila lion, or else they are uuite Indiffer ent to the matter. Yet tho Kentucky legislature seems to regard the matter still as u burning Issue. At any rate. there has been a tremeTidous effort to bar the teuchlug of evolution from the state university and the normal and public schools of Ken tucky by definite enactment. More. over, thirre are rumblings of a sim ilar effort in tho supposedly mod orn city of New York, to tho deep disgust of Homo of the metropolitan newspapers. It Is strange, from nlonist any point of view. Churchos generally first fought tho1 Idea of evolution, thinking th:it material science was endangering religion. Now churrh men are pretty well ugreoil that religion and science have their sep aratc sphere's, each valid in Its own place, with no real conflict pos slblo. Many a minister, too, teach es straight evolution, as tho pro cess by which (iod created the world and the creatures in it. In any event, it Is hard to see what business legislators have witli tho matter.. A scientific theory has never been proved or disproved by legislation. Perhaps Kentucky needs evolution In politics. There is a demand in Cleveland to take the zoo out of politics. If pol itics were taken out of the zoo, then.' wouldn't be so many 'politicians mak ing monkeys of themselves.
