Embarrassment of Talent.
JOHN T. SCOPES, the young Dayton, Tcnn., high
school, teacher, who is to undurgo trinl, charged with
the high crime, misdemeanor and treason of having told
his class that a man named Dnrwin once advanced the
theory that man may have heen evolved from lower
forms of animal life, 'finds on his hands an embarrass
ment of talent for his defense. Indeed, it appears that
Mr. Scopes is so beset and pestered by the multitudo of
proffers of legal aid from high places that he may yet
scream and recant rather than go to trial.
A dispatch from New York carried by the always
veracious Associated Press and published in The Guard
yesterday gave a pitiful view of Mr. Scopes' dilemma.
Mr. Scopes, it appears, i's already irrevocably committed
to Jtfhn It. Neal, former dean of the University of Ten
nesseo, as his chief counsel. That, it would seem, bars
Clarence Darrow right off, for Darrow is one ot tnoso
follows who will not attend a wedding unless no enn
be the bride, nor a funeral unless ho can be the corpse
In short Darrow will bo assistant nothing to anybody
and Scopes says what ho wants is a good assistant at
torney. , Besides somo of Scopes' friends say Darrow
is unfit because ho is an atheist, although Kcopes con
tends Darrow is an agnostic, like himself.
' Friends of Dudley Field Malono urged that gentle
man's fitness upon Mr. Scopes. Thoro does not occur
to memory at this moment any causo celebre which Mr,
Malono has fought and won at bar none at least that
gives .him outstanding prestige as an attorney. Come
to think of it, though, Mr. Malone was once collector
of the port of New York, and it does appear that there
is to bo something for a collector to do in the. Scopes
ense, for a very heavy defense fund has boon raised.
Naturally, the attorneys who do tho defending will
later do the collecting and a collector of experience might
possess an advantage.
Senator Pepper, of Pennsylvania, is being urged
upon Mr. Scopes' consideration. It is altogether likely
that here will bo no lack ot pepper m the case, onco it
gots under way, so that tho senator would appoar at
this distance like a prospective superfluity. Too much,
as tho feller says, is plenty.
Charles Kvnns Hughes is put forward by another
group of Mr. Scopes' friends. This must bo on tho
theory that Hughes would bo a logical opponent for
Bryan becauso both have run for tho presidency and
IohI. If so, however, tho rensoning is pretty poor. Hughes
was boaton only once, whilo Bryan possesses tho added
distinction of a second defeat, giving him a seeming
advantage. ' This might prejudico the ease from the
Blurt in iavor ot the monkoy-hntors.
"What to do? That .is Mr. Scopes' gravo problem.
He can't accept all tho attorneys of real or fancied note
that all of the contributors to his dofenso fund admire.
There wouldn't bo room left in tho courtroom for any
body to make gestures. This probably was in yoiing
Mr. Scopes' mind when. her finally turned upon his tor
mentors in their pull-hauling conference and exclaimed:
"I want, this to bo an epoch-making enso and I don't
want anything to spoil it!'" It is too bad tho voracious
Associated Press account fails to toll us whether ho ut
tered this cry of distress just after tho name of Mr.
Hughes had been proposed, or that of Mr. Darrow or Mr.
Malono or. Mr. Pepper. Particularity would have been
so illuminating.
Two automobiles havo battled their way through
the snowdrifts of tho Santinm puss, making a complete
journey from Albany to Bend. It is a font comparable
with that of W. J. Neil, who fought .his way through
with a six-horso team some two weeks ago from Bend
to Eugene by way of tho McKenzie pass. Aside from
the spirit of achievement represented by both feats the
thing they call to attention most proniinentlv is that the
high Cascades aro still the high Cascades 'and that in
years following so severe a winter ns last, tho mountain
passes aro certain to bo held snowbound pretty lute
in tho Boason. Probably no greater average of useful
ness than four to five months of tho year can safely be
figured for any Casendo-pnss rond.
Some of .his own partisans are criticizing the gov
ernor for making political trade and barter of his fish
commission appointments. Why? Aside from the fact
that nobody on the fish commission from now on will be
ablo to tell a royal ehinook salmon from a wide-mouthed
pike, the governor's appointments are good. And ns
for his making political trade and barter of the appoint
ments, tlid the governor's critics expect the sturgeon
to change his f ins T

Long steps toward their completion ,

see the time coming when it will bo
possible to aid in rue wanna m deve

but one Mint will bo recognized as
bound to come if the Albany deter

In addition to , its practical uses
such a road will have a very high
sentimental value becauso It will re
new the tie between two sections of
Oregon that in the past were very
close. The inntlam trail was used nut
only by pioneers bound for western
Oregon, Possibly an even greater vol
ume of travel came over it from the
valley into eastern Oregon. The older
settlements in central Uregou were
largely of Linn county people. It will
be a pleasant thing to have bhe two
brought together again through the
medium of a modern highway.

The secretary of the navy has sev

surprising Mint ho lent hi npproval to
the vulgar attempt of the movie com
pany to havo the president of the
United States filmed in an Anna-
polls graduation scene with a motion-picture
actor dressed up as a
miilrinipman.
ltut tho president of the United
States had the good tasto and tho
good judgment to decline to be com
mercially and vulgarly utilised nml to
lend his great office to a cheap and
presumptuous plan. In matters like
this Air, Coolidge always, behaves n

EXPERTS EYE ANTI-MONKEY LAW

City Zoning Laws.
(Corvnllis UaBette-Timea)
The city toning laws of Portland
were held invalid. They may be, but
the theory of the lonlng ordinance Ik
orrcct. 1 ho decision held that to de
prive an owuur of a lot from build
ing on it whot "ho pleased was, in ef
fect, confiscation of property. There
is another confiscation side of it. If
the owner of a lot wants to erect a
an factory or any other undesirable
establishment on his lot, he may be
depreciating the value of nil tho resi
dence property in that neighborhood.
By CHARLES P, STEWART
(NEA Service Writer)
yASHINGTON, June 10. Con-
. stitutional lawyers, one of them
prominent enough to occupy a scat
on the federal supreme bench, though
ho enn t be quoted by name, nren t a
bit certain Tennessee can't make her
anti-evolution law stick.
Not that they believe its violation
can be punished by fine or imprison
ment. Any such penalty, imposed by
n tower court will be set asido on np
peul, tho authorities hero are confi
dent.
Rut they do think the state of
Tennessee probably is entitled to dic
tato what shall and shall not be
taught in her own state-supported
schools.
The Tenneseenns foot the bill and
If they choose to bar instruction even
In reading, writing and . 'rtthmetic.'
there's a strong tendency on the ton,
stltutlonnl experts' part to hold thoy,
can do it. . . . '
In case any teacher they hire dis
regards their wishes, the best guess
seems to be that, whilo he can't be
puuisbed as n criminal, he can be
fired for insubordination.
The TcnneHecnns may be making
themselves ridiculous, it's agreed, but
that's their business. 1 '
A Httle analysis of the fiitimtiiva
shows quito readily why Vice-PresW
dent Dawes is getting no support from
tho Whito House, or many of tho Re
publican leaders outside of it, in his
campaign to get Ihe senate rules
changed so as to speed up business.
The whole purpose of the proposed I
alterations is to prevent a senate mi
nority, by dilatory tacticse, from
holding up legislation desired by the
majority.
When the present senate met Inst
March tho administration, and doubt
less Vico-President Dawes, thought
the Republicans woro in control. At
that stage of the game the White
House appeared favorable to the
change Dawes demanded.
But it soon became evident a mis
take had been made. Not the Regular
Republicans, but a Democratic-Progressive
alliance dominated.
Immediately the more experienced
Republican old-liners soured, on the
Dawes scheme. What would have
served their ends as a majority was
precisely whot they didn't want ns a
minority. Some other time, maybe,
but not now.
Dawes, however, seems to think
he's hit on something likely to be pop
ular with the voters, if'not with the
politicians, and refuses to quit. The
old gunrd doesn't particularly mind
hearing him tfllk. He can't do anything
by himself.
: Secretnry of Agriculture Jardine,
r whose department is charged with ad
ministering the federal highway act,
says motor trucks can't compete with
the rnilronds on long hauls. Down nt
Interstate commerce commission
headquarters they answer in behalf
of the railroads that motor trucks
may have nil the short ones they
want- and thrice welcome.
Indeed, mnny experienced trans
port otion men hnve been worrying
lest the railroads be ruined by their
short ranis. Tha way they tell ft, the
idea's thisi ;
Moving freight over their rails is
comparatively a small part of what it
costs the roads to get it from the
consignors' hands into the consig
nees.' The big items are bookeeping
and handling. These nre just ns much
for n short as for a long bnul.
Besides, a long haul allows latitude
for economy in routing, whereas a
short one is opt to leave little room
for choice. Thus, according to the
railroaders and interstate commerce
officials bear them out, a .100 or 200
mile hnul cosily mny cost a road more
than one of 1000 miles.
