Not civic pride In two young
musicians raised in La Grande,, not
friendship or sympathy caused by
years of association or a sense of
obligation was responsible tor the
sincere applause b stowed upon
Miss Krederlke Sen. Ike und Alfred
Meyers at their jo nt recital given
at the Presbyterl'.n church lust
evening. t
It was but a Just and fitting
tribute to two young students who
are undoubtedly on the threshold
of richly deserved artistic fame.
Both are talented, both have had
excellent foundation work and
above all both Mr. Meyers and Miss
Schilke possess thut intangible
something known us stage pres
ence; thut nebulous und Indescrib
able faculty of "putting it over
across the footlights to the audi
ence beyond.
First Appearance.
It was La Grande's first, oppor
tunity to hear Mr. Meyers In re
cital. Miss Schilke appeared here
once before this summer und in

Alfred Meyers received his early
vocal trnining under the direction
of John Stark Evans. Instructor oi

Indiana.
I,lke Mr. Meyers, Miss Schilke
received much of her early train
Ine nt the University of Oregon
and has for the past two yeur
been studying in Boston.
The concert w is almost union

the other at the piano. At tin close
of a duet. "Night Hymn at Sea,"
by Thomas whs sung with with Mr.
Meyers at the Steinwny, '

William Jennings Bryan's
Last Attack Against
"So-Called Science"
ADDRESS IS GIVEN
j TO WORLD BY WIFE
i '
Sweeping Indictment of
Evolution Delivered by
the Late Great Com
moner. DAYTON. Tenn. (By the Asso
ciated Press). "The Tennessee
Case," address prepared by Wil
liam Jennings Bryan In defense
of the Tennessee anti-evolution law
which the late Great Commoner
was prevented from delivering at
the Dayton trial because of tiie
early termination of thu case, was
made public toduy by Mrs. Bryan.
Itryun declared In the address
thut the Tennessee case was no
longer local, but "It hus assumed
the proportions of a battle royil
between an unbelief thut attempts
to speak through so-called science
und the defenders of the Chris
tian faith speaking through thq
legislature of Tennessee."
"Itlghts Not Violated."
AsserLng that the Tennessee
law "does not violate any rights
guaranteed by uny constitution to
any Individual," Bryan Indicted
evolution on five broud counts. '
Ho churged that evolution led
to disbelief tn the Bible as the
word of God; disputed the Bible's
story of creation; and If made a
phlloHophy of life, evolution would
eliminate love and carry man back
to the struggle of tooth and claw.
