SLAYER HUNTED .; The January thaw is going fine at least in the daytime. Nappy will be the first of February if it brings no bills for forgotten Christmas presents. . K the snow still bothers you, just think what wonderful weather we had this time last year. If the British continue their warlike gestures in China we'll come to the conclusion they're not so poor nor so dis graced with war as they have seemed when discussing debt settlement. " Congress docs not seem much nearer any approval of agricultural relief legislation. Wo doubt if it ever gets there.. The heavily populated areas on the east not de pendent immediately on farm prosperity will not likely bo convinced of tho need during this short session. And prob ably not in the coming session. Adequate attention to agri cultural problems cannot be predicted until the balance of power is held by a united western and middle western group.

Nothing is more important to Oregon. The amounts asked by heads of the state university and state college and the '.normal schools were settled on as the least that could bo had while maintaining the institutions in keeping with the needs of the state. Py comparison with our local schools and the money we spend and need to spend thereon, the funds required for state schools make a' moderate tftial. : . TOLERANCE IN TENNESSEE 1 The fanmim anti-evolution law of Tennessee appears to be far less drastic than has been supposed. The recent decision of the state supreme court-in the Scopes ease is interpreted, according to one authority, as "not prohibiting the teaching oh tho scientific theory of evolution as usually taught in schools and colleges, but merely the teaching of the material istic theory of evolution." ; That is to say, if this interpretation is correct; any teacher in Tennessee is "at liberty to teach the gradual development of human and other life in accord with the scientific' theory of evolution, provided that in so. leaching he doesn't deny man's divine origin." Many scientists will find this quite satisfactory. They are ready to admit, or at least not deny, that while all animal life seems to have been developed by a gradual upward process, from simple to complex, there may be a special factor involved in the development of man, in his acquisition of a mind or soul. ( "As ordinarily taught," explains a Nashville attorney irp .resenting the Tennessee Academy of Science, "evolution is the theory dealing with the gradual development of human mid other life upon the earth. It does not undertake in any way to determine original causes; it leaves that to religion and philosophy. It does not deny that God is the original cause, nor does it deny that the gradual development of life upon the earth has taken place and is taking place pursuant to a divine plan. Materialism undertakes to deny this and to eliminate God from the universe. There are countless thou sands who believe in God. in Christ and in evolution, and find in the gradual development of human and other life upon the earth additional evidence of a divine creator." PVITKIIKO.VS I'I,AV OKDHKI) KTATK HOUSE, SAJ.K.M. Ore., Jan. 28 (AI-) Governor I. J..
