Truth Will Prevail
ume 50 years ago, the late Harvey V. Scott wrote an
article in the "New Northwest" on the attempt of ecclesiastics
to perpetuate dogma by rejecting science, that might have
been inspired by the recent action of Tennessee in barring
the teaching of evolution in public schools as contrary to
bibical beliefs. Mr. Scott said:
Those who repudiate so vehemently the argument and conclusions
rf nrlrnce may be remind!, not improperly, that In erery dispute
of thla sort fur many centuries the church has been worsted and
driven from Its position.
After Christianity had become the state religion of the Uoman
Empire, It was made a st.ite crime to affirm that death waa In the
world before the f;ill of Ad.itn. It wns asserted that all knowledge
wan tn the wripturew and In the traditions of the church, and that
In tha written revelations man had been furnished, not only with an
exact criterion of truth but with all that God Intended him to know.
It. Is only to say, what everybody now known, that the authority
)f the Book of Genesis, as an account of the oricin of tlilriRH and the
date of Bitch origin, has been completely overturned; that death was
In the world thousands of years before the date asaiRned for Adam's
full, nnd could not, therefore, have beon a consequence of It.
The time was, also, when It was universally upheld by the church
that the earth was a flat surface and the center of the universe.
Thla was maintained out of the bible as zealously as miracles are now.
"How could the sun stand still at the command of Joshua unless It
were Roinff around the earth?"
ThotiKh the church did all In Its power to check and destroy the
true Interpretation of nature; though men were burnt at the stake so
late as lfiOO for their adherence to It, truth and enlightenment
would prevail.
Spanking
"Spank them when they need it" is the advice given
parents by Dr. Rudolph Jr. Binder, professor of sociology at
New York university. Spanking, he explains, acts as a
natural physical cure for the nervous condition that brings
on misbehavior.
We always knew there was merit in the now almost
obsolete method of teaching children how they should go and
are glad to have the testimony of a scientist to prove it.
It is good to get back to common sense after so many years
of ' : ;chological bunk. As the New York World says:

Camouflage
The citizens law enforcement committee at Portland, in a
report by Frank L. Shull, chairman, declares:
There are Innumerable plaeea of corruption in 1 ho city.
It is a matter of no dlffienlty to find Riimblinjr Joints.
Houses of prostitution are plentiful, anil street walkers are every
where to be seen. Narrotlcs are beini; sold.
Of these things we have sntlf!cd ourselves. The police depart,
ment is not functioning, or these thine would not be.
Mayor Raker is pronounced
Police Jenkins a "weakling",
the press of Portland tells the real trouble with the Portland
police force and that it is Ku Klu.xed, hence honeycombed
with corruption, permeated
discipline.
Illegal raids upon private residences by stool-pigeons are
merely camouflage to conceal protected vice and make the
public think an effort is being
