Watch Your Postage
Numerous* people in Camden have
apparently forgotten (if they ever
knew) that the increased postal rate*
are in effect. If you want to' mail a
paper, average size, the cost is two
K^nts, instead of one cent, as here
tofore. Picture postcards- also re*
?juii'v a two- cent stamp. You are
wasting time and stamps if you
fail to follow the above rules.
Hew are of the Agents
A Monroe citizen a few weeks an '?
was picked up by a book agent to
the tune of $12 in good hard cash.
Our citizens subscribed for a couple
of popular magazines and a set of
hooks from one C. \V. Lewis, who
pu rported himself- to be representing
a New York concern. The hooks and
magazines have never been received,'
and letters to. the company are re
turned, no such company being at
1 he place addressed.
Well, my advice to all and sundry,
who would subscribe to slick book
and magazine agents is to take Vih

The Chronicle is in receipt of tt
letter from Wrigley Pharmaceutical
Company of Atlantic City, N. J., of
fering to vicH us as one of a number
of highly representative people the
opportunity to become a stockholder
on the ground floor basis, For $10
they offer us ten aha res of atock and
two dozen tubes of Spearmint tooth

will not permit us to buy more than

THIS WEEK
By Arthur Brisbane
Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub
linhod a* expressions of opinions
Of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily e ndorse all of his
views and conclusions.
Something Wrong
Judge Gary says there is sonic
thing wrong with business conditions,
and the something is lack of confi-.
dencc "the abnormal, unnecessary and
timid, ill poised mental attitude of
managers* including ourselves,"
That's as sound as a steel ingot.
Our troubles are mental. Put a
plank six inches wide on the ground,
and of a hundred people, every one
will walk the length of it without
fear, of falling. Hut the same plank
fifty feet in . the air, and two in a
hundred, perhaps, w'il' uW"
hundred feet, and not one in a thou
saml will* trv to cross it.
Vet, leaving out fear, it is as easy
t<> walk such a plank a thousand feet
up as it is flat on the ground.
The height of our national prosper
ity makes some citizens dizzy.
This is a new age, and the things
we do would Have surprised not only
(>u: grandfathers, but ourselves a few
years . back.
l iving, Diving,, a New Era
Young gentlemen, studying at An
napolis are told- that hereafter an
ol'fit or and a gentleman "fnust know
how to fly.
And out in the' Pacific Ocean, down
among the coral lanes, near the Gala
pagos Islands, scientists, with diving
helmets on their heads, their other
wise, naked bodies well oiled, aiv
fitting -under the water, studying the
fr-h that come, wide-eyed to study
the men.
For the first, linn- in his several
hundred thousaifd years of existence
on t h : -? planet, man can tiuly say tlu
earth is his and tlu- fullness thereof.

into the ocean.
With such wonders happening ?0
rapidly, who knows but men^, -may

throats in war.

The president's economy will be

ships, if he gets them, to take cars
South and around into the Gulf of

He I? "IT"
John T. Scopes, professor of
biology at Dayton, Tenn. high
school, on trial there for violating
the "monkey-law" or, charged
with teaching the theory of evolu
tion. It is a test case watched with
a great deal of interest throughout
the country.
Ten lessee's battle over the light
to teach the theory of evolution in
the public schools has now engaged
the serious ! attention of all civllezeJ
thinking peoples, it is contended
in some qTinrtrrrs-that the whole que*
tion of human freedom and develop
ment ' is wrapped up in the issue.
I The question is of importance not only
in Tennessee or Florida or Oklahoma
or any other state. It is regarded
even* as more than a national issue.
Of course it is accepted tljat no
? legislative body ,can alter natural,
j law by statute. It is. just as im*
j possible to prove by legislative en
j actment the truth or falsity of evo
j theory of evolution necessarily, runs
I counter to the (Jenesis story of the
| creation.
KJudge John Randolph X-eal, of
Knoxville, Tenn., states his position
' in the controversy in this way: "We
u' i<>n as it woukl be to pass a law
that would definitely establish tin;
truth <>r falsity of gravitaion. What
i is, i>. and no legal pronouncements
for ted, he. grinds out 10.000 prayers
fur you on his little mill. Those
j prayers are believed to do good, al
I though verbal praying from the hear:
] may be better.
i ?
can m.ftke otherwise. The question'
rained involves the right of the hu
nuiM being to try to learn the truth
regarding the origin of life. Of
course in so far as inquiry presup
pose* doubt, the- issue embraces the
question of agnosticism, in that the
regard it as equally un-American and
therefore unconstitutional, whetlfer .
it is kingly or ecclesiastical author
ity or legislative- power that would
attempt to limit the human mind in
its enquiry after truth."
On the other side of the fence j
j stands (he statement of William Jen- !
i nings Uryan, areh foe of the evolu
! tionaiy theory. "This," says Mr. J
! Bryan "is one of the greatest ques-j
tions ever raised ? the question of the
light of the people who created ami
support the schools, to contrql them.
If not they, then who? The Fun- !
damentalists are trying to establish (
the doctrine that the taxpayer has n
rjght to say what shall be taught ? !
the taxpayers and not the scientists
r? Can a handful of scientists rob
your children of religion and turn
them out atheists?"
Rebuttal then advances this argu
menti FJven though the theory of evo
lution be true and be finally accepted
bv the. people as against the Story
ot the Genesis those who might ac
cept the truth Could not be consid
ered atheists. They point, too, to the j
wide divergence between atheism and
agnosticism.
Anotne r vie w point : there does not
appear to be any particular quarrel j
.with Mr. Aryan's basic theory that ,
the taxpayers have a right to set j
up schools, and to govern the school I
curriculum. It is only when this is
coupled wifrh legislation making edi^
cation compulsory th.it the right of !
the individual to seek truth becomes
abridged. On the one hand it -is .
said compulsory education does not
j necessarily involve study only in
! public schools. Parochial and see - j
itarian and private -.schools are still;
' left as the unhampered media through '
; which evolution or any other theory
of life <ir cohdict may be taught;
Other controV'ersalists say this is
not a piacticable answer in that it
would create a monetary standard of
i education. WVre evolution demon
sti atcd or accepted as the true print
j cip.le of life, then such knowledge
? would he barred to the poor: indee'l
| they would be compelled to learn only
' the story of Genesis, correct or ih
; correct.
; The crux of the argument appears
to hung on the natural right of th?
human species to seek the truth, to
be informed pn the thought of Uu
world and be given the liberty then
to exereUe their own judgment in th?
forming of opinions, and whether the
Tennessee atutute allows that right
This applies to economics, to relig,
ion, to history, indeed, to all bases
of human knowledge, including the
theory of evolution."
.
Some Intereuting Opinions
The New York "World say.s:
If the Oregon law stands, any ma
jority of a legislature may compel
all children to attend the schools it
establishes: if the Tennessee law
stands, any majority of a legislature
may determine that the world was
created out of nothing in 144 hours,
or t)mt Bacon wrote -Shakespeare, 01
that blank verse is blasphemy." ,
The Louisville Courier says:
The truth or falsity of the Dar
winian theory does not enter into
this ease. The eonstitutionality of the
Tennessee law should be tried at once.
It ^ intolerable that such a prohi
bition should be on the statute books
of any American commonwealth, p,
smacks altogether too much vof the
| edict# of governments where church
! and state are not dissevered."
[?$ The Norfolk Virginian Pilot says:
There is no more reason for regu
lating the right to, teach evolution
than there is for regulating the right
to teach bee culture or political econ
omy. Any effort to throw legal safe
guards around the teaching of spe
cially selected studies is an unwar
ranted lay intrusion and a step in
the direction of obscurantism and in
tolerance.
The Philadelphia North American
sayfc :
The issue is not whether the BibU -
<>r Darwin is right, or whether the
teaching of the latter's theory en
J dangers young minds, but whether
i the people of a state are entitled t>
' say -how their money is -to be spent
for education. Sdvlong as they make
public schooling compulsive for all
c: in Id r en; so' long as they .permit in
dividuals and private schools to teach
what they please, and deny, no one
the privilege of writing or speaking
on evolution, it does- not appear they
, are interferring with' "freedom of
' thought" as some maintain. *
Finally, George Bernard Shaw says:
"What William Jennings Bryan
rails Fundamentalism, I call Infantal
ism." . \ 3?
