JSryan and Evolution By Williatn Pickens _ (For Tho Associated Negro Press.) Bryan and Tennessee are Stacking the law of evolution,? s if they thought that natural uwa jiuldcd to attacks.? lay be jailed or tortured or bur* ed, but no law of nature can be triumphs ever registered by the uman mind was thd discovery f the fact tha>t evolution was the r>rms of life. The Fact is atistedJiy'more than is any other rinciple in the universe. This i\v is witnessed by every blade f grass, by every-leaf of the for st, by everything that wall r flies, and that creeps and rawls and increases?and even y_the very :c el Is of the one-sid3 brain of Bryan. Bryan decires that he never descended -cm the apes. Well, the apes ave never said so, and no scientD o ' ts have yet accused the apes E so much. . The law of evoluon does not say that man des;nded from apes; and that man id apes _ descended from - the j ime original creature; and that lat original lived not so long ?o, when we measure time in j iological -ages, .This truth is so ell attested that no really edu-j tted man,can doubt it. Of course, this law of evolu-1 on has joined battle with all, ---T " te ancient superstitions.

Only religious nonsense and foul hot air. And against this law of the universe Tennessee has pitted a statute, enacted by: a_ legiglfttur?f!many-^ of whom have never known what the word evolution means. / > Some say that Bryan moved South because the people of the North would not accept his political vagaries and that he is try ing to make good in the South by adopting southern prejudices ...?^ and exploiting the superstitions of the ignorant. ?- 1 And'as for Tennessee?the law of evolution cannot \ be overthrown by the wisdom Of a State " where they burn men alive.

If anything is wrong_ with__ ffie ideas concerning evolution^ * the best way to find out .what . f - -* ?? e . is wrong is by investigation and studyamong scholars of thy schools.
