Merchandizing a Myth
Appointment of Wallace McCamant of Oregon, ex-justice'
of the state supreme court, to the federal circuit court of
appeals, is a deserved recognition of judicial ability as well
as an award for personal political service rendered President
Coolidge.
Judge McCamant is well qualified for the position, and
will doubtless fill it with honor, though probably at a financial
sacrince to himselt, lor leueral judges are not paid in
accordance with the importance of their positions and power.
Yet the political phase of the appointment illustrates how
reiterated error is better than the truth and how myths
originate.
It was Judge John L. Rand, now on the supreme bench,
who was the original advocate and ardent champion of
Governor Calvin Coolidge for vice-president in the Oregon
delegation to the republican national convention at Chicago
in 1920, and he it was who was scheduled to make the
nominalimr soeech. However, having developed a sore
throat, he requested Judge McCamant to substitute for him
and place Coolidge in nomination, which he did.
As a result, Judge McCamant was hailed as the discoverer
of Coolidge and given the glory of having secured his
nomination by suggesting him at the psychological time.
This idea he has assiduously fostered, and omitted no oppor
tunity to give it publicity, with the result that he now wears
the ermine, for carrying out the ideas and making the speech
of another.
All of -which proves that modesty is a gem that doesn't
get one anywhere in politics, even with a modest president
like Cautious Cal, and that a little thing like a sore throat
sometimes has big consequences for more than the
afflicted one.

I wandered around alone all
evening trying to amu.se myself,
but not succeeding. I finally gath
ered up some books In the library
thinking I'd go to my room and
read. I felt lonely and neglected
especially when I passed
French door leading to the terrace
and saw a woman in a man'n arms
out there in the moonlight. It was
Nathalie and her husband and I
went upstairs and cried, myself to
wleep, feeling that nobody loved
me, and wishing I could feel sure
that Bill Kwing would.
There wa.i to be a costume ball
the next night at one of the hotels
in Nassau, and of coure we were
all going. I think Nathalie would
have been perfectly happy to stay
right where she was. on Itlll liw
ving'n beautiful Island, but she
thought that I wanted to go,, and
I didn't disillusion her.
We spent most of the next day
making costumes. Bill Ewlng got
out a trunkfull of costumes that
he said had been used for amateur
theatricals years before. When
Nathalie and I were looking them
over by ourselves she told me
more about how ho happened to
have- them.
"He had a stunning country
place, near New York built it
for the girl he was going to marry.
They used to have gorgeous par
ties up there. She wan wild about
the stage, and was always getting
up little plays. She kept putting
off marrying him, and then sud
denly broke the engagement and
went on the stage, when somebody
gave 'her a small part in a play.
He was broken hearted. I'm sur
prised that he kept these cos
tume." i
They were really lovely things. ;
I chose a ballet dancer's fluffy1
skirts and satin bodice, with a gar
land of flowers cascading down
over the skirt, and two big flowers
for my hair.
There is something about a fancy
costume that goes straight to my
head. I didn't feel like myself at
all, but like the gay little creatine
that I looked. Bill Ewlng cho.se
a Pierrot's costume, but his ex
pression didn't go with It. He
looked awfully sad.
Nathalie and Dick went as a
Spanish dancer and toreador. We
were a curious group to sail off
through tho moonlit seas in the
launch, but a very silent group,
too not half so gay as our costumes
I had the first dance with Bill,
but wo wore only half way round
the great ballroom when a man
dressed as a pirate cut in, and I
went whirling off in his arms. Bill
disappeared, and I didn't see him
again till supper time. The he
led me ta a table out in the gar
den, beneath gaudy Chinese lan
tern and swayed in the breeze.
"There are a lot of things I want
to say to you," he began the mo
ment we were alone. "1
know that you're married, and not
especially happy, and I've com
completely lost my head over you.
Nancy, won't you got a divorce and
marry me?"
I was too much surprised to an
swer. Ife had been so strange late
ly when lie was with me, so aloof,
that I couldn't believe I'd really
heard what he said.
"But I thought you were in
love with someone else." I said,
more to gain time than for any
other reason.
'I was until I mot you. "You're
tho only girl who's ever been able
to make me forget her. Nancy.,
say that you care for me." '
His voice had a magical effect.
I forgot everything Jim, and
everybody else. All that I knew
was that BUI Kwing was silting
there beside me, holding my hand
very tight In his, looking down
into my eyes with adoration in his.
"Oh Bill, I do love you," I told
him.
As he took me in his arms nil
tho world was 'shut out. I was
happier than I'd ever been before
in my life.
We stayed there In the garden
until Nathalie found us, and sug
gested that we go homo. BUI wrap
ped my cloak around me, as if I'd
been some delicate thing that
might break If it was touched
roughly. And we went skimming
through tho water In his launch,
back to the enchanted Island that
was Ills home.
Wo hud made many plans. I
was to go back to New York nt
once, and begin proceedings for
a divorce. I felt sure that Jim
would not mind, though, of course,
I was going to cable him. Then,
as soon as the decree had been
granted, Hill and I weie going to
be married. And we'd live for
ever on his beautiful island, with
all the world shut out.
I could hardly wait to start for
home. There was a steamer duo
at Nassau t lie next day, arriving
In the morning from Havana, and
sailing In the afternoon.
"But you won't be able to get
accommodations on it, Nancy,"
Nathalie protested. "Wait and sail
with us on the yacht."
I knew that sne and Dick were
n't ready to go back north, how
ever, and I wouldn't hear of their
leaving.
I'll get a corner on the boat
somewhere," I Insisted. "I'm sura
I can do It."
I went to the steamship office
myself the next morning. Bill
wanted to do it for me, but I in
sisted on going myself. They told
me at the office that there wasn't
my space left on the boat; they
wouldn't even sell me a ticket.

Burbank on Evolution
Luther Burbank, plant wizard ami scientist, lias written
the best article on evolution that has been produced as a
result of the Tennessee fight upon science. He holds that
all life is evolution and that its theories should be taught in
all public schools as the only way to combat ignorance and
superstition. He says:
Kvolutlon Is truth, and Irulli must unci will nn-vall.
Kvcry nation that ilocs nut liclkvc will I'Ventuully disappear from
the earth.
The Imliclinciit of a Tennessee teacher for leadline evolution In a
high school in that state la a step one thousand years backward.
All my work wilh plants here 111 Santa Hosa dally demonstrates
evolution. All growth, all life is evolution.
Ignorance always has. and always will flcht evolution for evolu
tion Is growth. The people, the groups, who arc cntnhatllng the
theory of evolution have not found the trulh nnd do not believe In it.
They must he educated.
The theory of evolution should he (aught in public schools. Yming
children should he Instructed in the t rut I, and evolution is truth.
Evolution Is contrary to theology, which may account tor some of
the animosity It has aroused, hut It Is not contrary to religion
Theology Is man-made, religion l not. Truth la supreme.
All life on this planet is one Universal Life, constantly evolving
liilo higher and better forms, not at first created perfect as some
theologians would have us believe mil left lo man for runner cvoiu
tion anil Imorovement.
It Is much more flattering lo me to think that we are evolving
Into something better than that as the older theologians would have
us believe we were created perfect in the garden of Kilcn and fi ll Into
disgrace afterwards: even a man who would construct a machine
which would go wrong so quickly and o thoroughly would be called
a vrv noor mechanic. The Universal Korco which is creating all
lliim.. Is Imller hr such lttltillc.lt Ion.
The theory of evolution should of course continue to he taught In
niilillr schools, as should every other great truth, because evolution
Is truth.
