Conviction Probable
Dayton, Tennessee, scene of the Scopes trial, we are told
in dispatches, spent an hectic Sunday "girding itself for the
war against evolution and liberaism" which starts in
earnest today. Inflamed by fiery sermons by William J.
Bryan, preparations are underway to "make short work of
the 'heretics' in the court proceedings."
All of which indicates that the conviction of Scopes is a
certainty, for in such a community, any other outcome is
improbable if not impossible. Dayton has a dozen churches,
a good many for a small town, and is apparently on intimate
terms with the Lord, and as customary with finite minds,
the Tennesseans have managed to recreate Him in their
own image.
Writing in the Nation from Dayton, Howard K. Hollister
relates a conversation with the secretary of the Progressive
Dayton club and some of his associates, which throws an
interesting side-light on the situation:
"This tTlal is going to be about tho idea ol God," I ventured.
''Well, there's plenty 'round bore that know nil about God," said
tho club secretary. "There's a farmer out here about aix miles; he
Baw God." This provoked a general laugh. "Hut Unit ain't the only
one,'' went on another member. "We hud a preacher here in the
Southern Methodist Church that signed a contract with God. lie met
God in the street one night, and God told him He wanted him to
come and serve Ilim the rest of his life. Hut he wouldn't do it,
'cause he said the spirit was willing enough but the flesh was too
weak. So he wrestled with God for an hour or so and then signed a
contract to serve Him for seven years and no more. That preacher
baptized more people than any oUicr preacher in Dayton, more than
nil the others put together, I guess. Once he baptized seventy-five
at a crack."
Tried by a jury of these converts, what chance has Scopes?
As in medieval Europe, scientific truth is to bo determined
by ecclesiastical dogma. The right of legislature and court
to define truth and to limit the acquisition of facts, will be
legally established in Tennessee.
Newspapers and Newspapers
The Portland Journal protests the Capital Journal's asser
tion that the small newspapers ethically have all the
advantage over the metropolitan press because they are
conducted by their owners and therefore freer to express
their honest convictions than the commercialized city press
run by hired men whose jobs depend on dividends they pile
up for stock-holders. It quotes the words of its founder to
prove that the Portland Journal works fearlessly for the
public interest:
If a time ever comes when The Journal cannot be free, f earl can
and independent, I will throw it into the river. Pay no attent ion to
boycotters don't budge an Inch. Print the wimp thing attain", if you
want to, and let them slop the paper and unit their advertising. We 11
run this paper for the common guml if we have but one subscriber.
While an owner of a big or little paper could throw it into
the river if he desired, no hired men whom the owners employ
to operate it, would dare do it, in support of any principle.
Their jobs depend ujmhi their ability to safeguard, promote
and advance the properties and their remuneration depends
upon it.
So, when a crisis arises, and boycotts threaten, we have
big city newspapers like the Journal and the Oregonian soft
pedalling and silent. That is why both never editorially
discovered the Ku KIujc Klan and grafting secret political
societies. That is why neither had the courage to conduct a
campaign against the Oregon school bill. That is why
neither takes a stand in the bat Me of Truth vs. Tennessee.
The Capital Journal repeats its assertion that
The aniull paper that lives up to its opportunity rcprcHcuts the
last Bland or that pcrnnunl journalism (hat made the press a power

Gardner."
"You'd better not have anything
to do with me If you want to keep
peace In the family; everything 3
do Is wrong," Cynthia retorted. Khe
was tired and unhappy, wretched
at the prospect of having Jim away
for bo long.
"Oh, well, it's Just the old ques
tion of adapting yourself to new
people and surroundings," he told
her. "It was hard for me at first
too. As soon as you learn their
ways nnd settlo Into them you'll be
all right."
Cynthia nodded, glad to cret rid
of him and go into (lie house alone.
It seemed very gloomy and lone
some, but at least she could be
ilone. She undressed, nnd sat read
ing in her little sitting-room, near
the telephone, fur the next two
hours, sure that Jim would call
her. But at laHt, exhausted, she
went to bed. Jim evidently hadn't
thought It worth the money to call
her.
She was at Gardner's office
promptly at eleven tho next morn
ing, and explained that she under-
Htood that he was Interested In the
Htock that .Madame Leland had
bought, and lost money on, and
that she wanted him to buy It back
from Madame Leland and then sell
it to her.
"You see, she and I have had
some difficulty about well, about
other things," she told him. "And
reel that If I could do this ft
would make matters easier for both
of us."
He studied her quietly for a mo
ment. Then he nodded decisive
ly and reached for some pa pern
that were in a drawer of his desk.
"All right; I'll do It," he told
her. "Ait a mat tor of fact, that
stock that Madame Leland bought
is very low just now, and of course
if she doesn't wish to keep it until
It goes up she's at liberty to sell.
It's true that I'm heavily Interest
ed In It, but thliiFta were not man
aged quite as I'd have chosen while
I was away, and oh, I won't ex
plain, but I'll buy the slock back
from her. and arrange later to sell
ft to vou." 1
"At the irloe she paid for it,"
Cynthia Insisted. 1
"Yes, at that fame price. Now,
tell me -can't we have luncheon
together?"
Cynthia smiled as ahe shook her
head.
"Sorry, but I'm lunching out at
the country club with Mrs. Jlal
colm; we're going to play golf af
terwards." He looked up with interest.
"That's a good way to spend the
afternoon congratulations. .Now,
I'll phone you later about this mat
ter, and we can settle tho details
then."
Cynthia drove out to the country
club with her thoughts in a tur
moll. Her father had left her very
well provided for, but if she was to
buy this stock she would have to
sell some of the securities that he
had left her ;lt would take all the
money that she could put her hands
on, swallowing up her income for
some months to come.
"I don't care if It takes every
cent I've got," she decided ns she
reached the club. "I'll do ,."
Her luncheon with Cecile Mal-
cum was a long round of gossip
and she was glad to leave the table'
and go out to the veranda. The first
person ehe saw there was Noel
t'.ardner, in golfing clothes, lie
hurried forward eagerly. "Mind If
I join you?" he asked.

The hist 017 of the Christian
missionary movement among the
lMma Indians of Southern Arizona
was recounted yesterday by Dr.
Dirk Lay, Presbyterian missionary
among the Pi inns, who has Bpent
years in their midst. Dr. Lay
spoke at the regular Sunday morn
Ing service of the First Tresbyter
ian church yesterday.
He told of incidents connected
with warfare along the Mexican
border, comparing conditions
among the non-Christian Indian:
with those who have been convert
ed. The tale of one particular
episode stood out, that of a raid
made by a band of Mexican Ind
ians on a group of white men. The
men wore summarily shot during
the process of the raid, one man,
a father, living long enough to see
his 12 year old boy jerked from
the ground where he was lying,
railed at with a series of questions.
and ehot through the body when
he hesitated to answer.
The Plmas, where we live, wore
originally just that kind of Ind
ians," said Dr. Lay. "Yet now I
never have any apprehension what
over In leaving my wife and fam
ily there among them and leaving
them for long periods of time." He
declared that the influence of the
Christian missionary had made the
difference.
Dr. Lay told of the work of Dr.
Cook, veteran of the Civil "War, and
the first missionary in southern
Arizona. Dr. Lay and Dr. Cook
were closely associated for many:
years. Dr. .Cook came to Arizona
from Chicago without financial
backing from anyone, even selling
his rifle at one place on the jour
ney to pay his traveling expenses.
He was captured by Indians nnd
would have been killed except for
the fact that he was unarmed.
The speaker told the story of
"Horse" "Williams, one of the first
converts among the Plums, relat
ing the story from what Williams
himself had told him. The Indian
had been expected by his tribe to
be a great chief, having passed with
honor the tests given to young
Indian men in those days. He had
stood on a hill of black ants for
several hoiirs, naked in the hot
Arizona sun, and gradually pro
gressed up to the point where he
passed the final examination, that
of plunging, naked, into a hive of
bees. He passed all his tests with
out emltlng a sound. He later Join
ed the whltu man's church, how
ever, was looked down upon by
his fellow Indians, lost most of his
family through disease, but ro
mnlned firm to his faith. He even
lost his wife, who had been the
principal cause of his conversion.
The Presbyterian church among
the Indians of Arizona today is the
largest In membership of Its kind
in the world. Dr. Lay stated, with
out excepting any other denomination.
"You and I owe a great big debt ;
to these original Americans," he ;
declared. "We can't give them back,
their country, but we can give i
them the gospel."
There are at the present time
CO, 000 Yaqui Indians along thej
Mexican border without a single
missionary among them, he said,
stating that there will never be
"peace along that border until
you're willing to send missionaries."
"In this day of misunderstand
ing and imperfect interpretation oi
the scriptures we neeu iw
the mount of vision and behold the
eternal verities of God," Kev. Fred
C. Taylor, pastor of the First
Mothodist church of Salem, told his
congregation at the regular serv
ice Sunday morning.
He made reference to the moun
tin of which the Bible relates.
"The mountains were centers of
worship and prayer, the places of
vision nnd blessing," he said. "On
Mount Sinai God revealed himself
to Moses and wrote on tablets of
stone the decalogue for tne moral
and civil government of the world.
Mount Morlah was where A bra
ham worshipped and Solomon
built his temple. Mount Caruiel
was where Elijah built his altar
and received his great victory in
prayer. Mount Herman was the
place of the transfiguration of
Jesus when the desciplea hoard
the voice from Heaven saying,
'This is my son. hear ye him.'
"Our mountains should beget In
us reverence and worship and pary
er.
"The mount of Calvary brings to
us the thought of sacrifice, for on
its skull shaped summit a cros
was hung on which the Savior of
men gave his life for all. The
mount of olives reveals to us the
ascending Lord, caught from view
in a cloud, but promised to ro
turn. "The mountains of Palestine
stand out in tho Bible as the sym-i
hols of the magnitude, tho sub
limity, the permanence and the
eternity of Jehovah. The great
characters of Hebrew history are
associated with the mountains.
'On God's mountains we meet
God, hear His voice; ronew our
faith: pledge our devotion; and re
ceive our power to live and labor
in the valley below."
Rev. Mr. Tnylor took for his text
the passage, "Get thee up Into the
high mountain, for ye shall serve
God In this mountain."

The conduct of Snlom'a fire department in fijjlitinR Hie
most dangerous as well ns most .spectacular fire in the city's
history last night, when the Cherry City mill was destroyed,
is deserving of high praise. Only their prompt and efficient
action kept the fire within its original bounds and prevented
a widespread conflagration. Salem is fortunate to have as
capable a force and more men and equipment should be
supplied with the city's growth as insurance against fire loss.
