Hair Denoted Power
There was a deep-rooted belief
among the ancient peoples of the
East that a man’s glory was his beard.
Compulsory shaving and the close
cropping of hair were signs of degra¬
dation. This is borne out by Assyrian
sculptures, which always show kings
with beards and long hair, and slaves
with close-cropped hair and clean¬
shaven faces.

has translated the words of the teach
or and the textbook into language
that even a child can understand. As
he recollects its, the defendant said

from this was man.’ There is no room
for difference of opinion here, and
there is no need for expert testimony.
Here are the facts, corroborated by
another student, Harry Shelton, and
admitted to be true by counsel for
defense. Mr. White, superintendent of
schools, testified to the use of Hun¬
ter’s Civic Biology, and to the fact
that the defendant not only admitted
teaching evolution, but declared that
he could not teach it without violat¬
ing the law. Mr. Robinson, the chair¬
man of the school board, corroborat¬
ed the testimony of Superintendent
White in regard to the defendant’s
admissions and declaration. These are
the facts; they are sufficient and
undisputed. A verdict of guilty must
follow.
More Required
“But the importance of this case re¬
quires more. The facts and arguments
presented to you must only convince
you of the justice of conviction in this
case, but while not necessary to a
verdict of guilty, they should con¬
vince you of the righteousness of the
purpose of the people of the state in
the enactment of ths law. The state
must speak through you to the out¬
side world and repel the aspersions
cast by the counsel for the defense
upon the intelligence and the enlight¬
enment of the citizens of Tennessee.
The people of this state have a high
appreciation of the value of education.
The state constitution testifies to i
in its demand that education i
shall be fostered and that science and j
literature* shall be cherished. The
continuing .. and , . I
increasing appropria- !
tions for public instruction furnish
abundant proof that Tennessee places
a just estimate upon the learning
that is secured in its schools.
a Religion is not hostile to learning; ;
Christianity has been the greatest
patron learning has had. But !
ever
Christians knyw that ‘the fear of
Lord is the beginning of
just as it has been in the past,
they therefore oppose the teaching
guesses that encourage
among the students.
‘‘Neither does Tennessee
the service rendered by science.
Christian men and women of
see know how deeply mankind is
debted to science for benefits
ferred by the discovery of the
of nature and by the designing
machinery for the utilization of
laws. Give science a fact and it
-not only invincible, but it is of
eulable service to man. One in
titled to draw from society in
portion to the service that he

the reward earned by those who
given us the use of steam, the use
electricity, and enabled us to
the weight of water that flows
the mountainside? Who will
the value of the service rendered
those who invented the
the telephone and the radio? Or, to
come more closely to our home life,
how shall we recompense those who
gave us the sewing machine, the har
vester, the threshing machine, the
tractor, the automobile, and the meth
od now employed in making artificial
ic-e? The department of medicine also
opens an unlimited field for invalu
able service. Typhoid and yellow fe
ver are not feared as they once were.
Diphtheria and pneumonia have been
robbed of some of their terrors, and
a high place on the scroll of fame
still awaits the discoverer of reme
dies for anthritis, cancer, tubereulo
sis and other dread diseases to which
mankind is heir.
Truth Welcomed
Christianity welcomes truth from
whatever source it comes, and is not
afraid that any real truth from any
source can interfere with the divine
trut'h that comes by inspiration from
God Himself. It is not scientific truth
to which Christians object, for true
science is classified knowledge, and
nothing therefore can be scientific
unless it is true.

an hypothesis—it is millions
guesses strung together. It had not
been proven in the days of Darwin;
he expressed astonishment that with
two or three million species it had
been impossible to trace any species
to any other species. It had not been
proven in the days of Huxley and it
has not been proven up to today. It

| Let’s Apply This To
j Fort Valley
| (Elberton Star)
With all its virtues and many ad
| vantages, there is one thing sadly
lacking in Elberton,—This is, an
honest desite and constant effort to
keep the city clean and sanitary every
d a y in the year,
j During clean-up campaigns we
throw our hats in the air, clean-up
and paint up and wash-up and
u p and put things in “applepie” or
der. Then our enthusiasm begins to
wane. Weeds begin to grow and con
f tinue to grow; our back-yards and
, alleys,—some of them,—present un
sightly and unsanitary spectacles;
trash and garbage is allowed to ac
; cumulate at the side gate and often
j times remain there for weeks; and
as a result of it all, flies and mos
quitoes, sickness, sometimes death,
can be traced as a direct result.
The sanitary department probably
does the best it can to keep the city
clean and sanitary with the limited
facilities at its command. With one or
two dump carts and a rickety one
J garbage, horse wagon trash as and the means refuse, of hauling sani
no
tary overseer in the world could hope
to keep clean and sanitary the streets
and alleys of a city the size of El
No schedule of rounds can be
under this program, and
sometimes weeks pass without gar
bage man making his appearance,
This is a deplorable and shameful
state of affairs,
Nothing advertises a town more
favorably than to have it said of it
that it is a place where clean streets
an d alleys and sanitary conditions
exist; on the other hand the reverse
is just as true. Nothing is more un
just to ourselves and the future
health of our children than to allow
ourselves to think in terms of dirty
streets and,fly-breeding alleys. l
There is a remedy for this if we
will but set about the task in earn
est. The sanitary department should
be given additional vehicles and more
, help . ,n order to cover the c.ty often
er. A visit should be made to every;
back - door ln town at least two or
three times a week. A motor truck,
or maybe tw0 of them - mi £ ht be re '
quired to do the j° b as * should be
done. If so, let’s have them. No
amount of money, if spent judicious
ly, is ever wasted in keeping our
clean and sanitary, ,
town pretty,
Let’s not confine our clean-up ef
forts to one or two days in the year, i
This is worse than nothing,—a mere
s))am an( j hypocritical move,—if we
stop here. The time to keep a city
c i ean ant j san j ta ry is every day in
t h e year. If this is done, the extra

The Lonely Man ~r
He is a lonely man on a fast train.
Maybe he and his fireman do pot ex¬
change words on a run of 50 miles.
Qn some engines he does not see the
f j reman when he is in his seat.
During the night, when passengers
are s ] ee ping and when only head aij(
tai j lights are burining, when lights
in villages an d towns are low, when^
the coun tryside is silent, no one is
f ar ther away from touch with his fel
low human beings than the engineer
j n ca h. Constantly he is plunging
into spac . e as one goes into another
world. Every mile of track ahead of
him is an adventure. How much bet
ter f or his own peace of mind on
t h ese nights and long days would it
be the au tomobilists, the carriage
an( j wagon drivers and the pedes
tr ; ans wou ld keep away from the
crossings when the fast train, in
charge 0 f t h e anxious engineer, ap¬ *
proaches.
We know of no class of men who
have greater responsibility day in and
day out than the locomotive engineer.
It is up to all of us, then insofar as
we are able, to keep his burden light,
and we can do this by stopping, look- -
ing and listening.—Memphis Commer
