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.
The action of the ways and means committee in prepar
ing budget recommendations affecting state educational in
stitutions i worthy of ipraisie,' though-the'job'is 'not"C(in
plete. 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."
