Scopes, who is charged with violating the Tennessee stautue aganist teaching evolu.ion theories in the schools of Tennessee. “From this time on it will be a de .th grapple in the light.” .Mr. Bryan, who is associated with counsel for the prosecution of the young high school instructor, was guest of the club which two weeks ago entertained Clarence Darrow t>f defense counsel, in the same dining room. The fundamentalist leader was introduced tonight by Wallace Hag gard, a member of the prosecution counsel. A welcome to Dayton was extended by John L. Godsey, local member of defense counsel. One issue of the coming trial, which is scheduled to begin next Friday, is whether the people shall rule in the United States, the speaker asserted The people are only soured of the power, he said, and will in the end control.

Christians, he said, believing that “revealed religion of mankind the only abiding truth will fight evolution as their only great foe. If they are wrong they will of course be defeated and will be compelled to abandon the Bible as the word of God, he declared. ■. “If information furnished at the trial and brought out afterwards be-1 cause of the trial shows evolution to be unproven and therefore unworthy of acceptance, science will have to fall back upon demonstrated truth, which has no terrors for Christianity. “Christianity is not afraid of truth,” Mr. Bryan exclaimed. “It only opposes hypothesis put forth in the name of science but unsupported by facts.” Mr. Bryan’s “third point” concerned “the fundamental principle of our government. . — “Shall the people rule?” he cried, 44 —if not who shall?” He insisted that the basic principle of the Tennessee anti-evolution law was the theory that the people, speaking through the leg islature, have a right to control the J public schools. since the coming of Darrow, Bain- bridge Colby and Dudley Field Ma lone.

This is the comment that the author of the book makes upon the two ^pictures contrasted: Compare the unfavorable artificial en- politics by the very general disre gard for his ideals.’ If the world wishes to live in peace it will have to return to Wilson’s theories.” Put beauty into your home with Eurniture r'.
