The debate in the Presbyterian General assembly can serve an admirable end if tt will lead our scientists to take an account of stock and. define candidly Just what they know and what they do not know where, In thort. the scientific theory of evolution ends and the problems of religion begin. It was a constant error of the nineteenth century to over-estimate the extent of the new and unquestionably marvelous wisdom achieved by the various sciences. A large part of the quarrel between science and religion was born of these excessive claims.

Dear ite a steady clarification of minds in recent years with respect to this boundary line a plenty of the old stupidity and misunderstanding remains, as the Presbyterian assembly demonstrated, i Scientist should concede and formulate the limits of evolution, for example. Loosely, we talk of evolution as a scientifically demonstrated doctrine covering the whole universe. It is nothing of the sort as yet almost certainly; will not be within any stretch of time and grasp of minds now conceivable. Fundamentally, evolution merely describes the process, the method, of development. It does not even pretend to xplain the first cause of this development.

Nashville Banner. 1 THE GILBREATH CASE There has never been anything in the Gilbreath case but a factional desire to oust him as the bead of the East Tennessee Normal.

As the result of the demagogic campaign made by several of the candidates last year much prejudice was aroused against state normals. This was reflected in the reduction of the appropriations made by the last legislature for the support of the normals. It prompted the effort to remove Gil-breath on the flimsiest of charges. An outrage was attempted when the legislature sought the trial of the normal president by a committee, a majority of whose members had already found him guilty without a hearing. But happily the Supreme Court had saved the good name of the state and its school system by refusing to countenance an illegal and unconstitutional attempt to punish an Innocent official merely to gratify political prejudice.

Columbia Herald. THE SOLACE OF THE PIPE Writing to Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, whose sharp tongue has caused the President many a wince in the past two years. Mr. Harding says: In your capacity of chief party trouble-maker in the Senate, you have said some things which have made me lay my newspaper down and turn to a fresh pipe of tobacco for consolation. There is consolation in the pipe and none knows It better than the inveterate smoker.

Take them by and large, smokers come to the pipe sooners or later. It is the day and night companion to the man afield or in the office. With a good-drawing pipe and a supply of tobacco, the smoker needs no other company. The creatures of his imagination take form in the weird and fantastic smoke wreaths that encircle hfs head. We hold no brief for any special pipe.

There is joy THE NIIW BRITISH PRIME MINISTER. The preference of the conservative party leaders for Mr. Stanley Baldwin over Lord Curzon will be shared, we think, by Americans. The relations of America and Great Britain are likely to be easier, and perhaps we may even say safer, in the keeping of a man like Mr. Baldwin than In that of his lordship, who dislikes Americans though he marries them profitably.

Not that we are looking to Mr. Baldwin or any other responsible British statesman to realise the throbbing sentiments of Pilgrim banquets. English speaking union conferences, or American Bar association conventions. Neither do we look upon the maintenance of friendly relations with Great Britain as important to us as to Great Britain. But they are desirable and we should not welcome a turn of affairs which might involve us in avoidable friction.

The new prime minister may indeed Invite Lord Cur-son to remain as secretary for foreign affairs, but on the other hand he may not. Mr. Baldwin's selection will seem to Americans promising, inasmuch as he is a business man, and though he may lack the experience or the skill to match a great parliamentary tactician like Lloyd Gaorge, if he can avoid being unhorsed and keep the field he may better serve the needs of England at this time than a typical lawyer politician. Only time can tell. Chicago Tribune.

However fair the day may be, we know that night is near: Though long or brief the pleasure be, no man wlli pass it by. And none will scorn a friendly bund because that friend must die.

Then why should death the halls of life so gloomingly invade? We know that we are all to die, that truth is understood. And yet, though brief or long our stay, to live on earth Is good.

History tells us that the Indians used the pipe in their council meetings and passed it about the circle to seal the of friendship. The Irish immigrant of old who supplied our demands for common labor arrived with his pipe of clay bitten off short and held In dangerous proximity to his nose.

And it helped him to pass the loner day in ditch and trench with a maximum of good humor. Our own hill people, old men and women, both, find In the pipe the acme of consolation. The stolid Britisher, at home and abroad, is never without it. When he has a problem to solve he reaches for his pipe. When he gets into close quarters, he grips his pipe.

To him it is a tower of strength. The pipe smoker rarely gets excited if he has his pipe in his mouth. The only time a pipe smoker permits his temper to have been learned and that knowledge will take the place of ignorance. We Plead Guilty.

More Bryan Big Job. He himself hath said it. Col. William Jennings Bryan is reported as having said it to the great general assembly of the Presbyetrlan church in session at Indianapolis. Here is what he said: "Just think of my lines.

I've got to get prohibition enforced, ani that's no small task. And I've got to defend religion and that takes all my powers." Seen from his standpoint, the great commoner might well join with Virgil as translated by Dryden and proclaim: "Smooth the descent and easy the way; (The gates of hell stand open night and day); But to return and view the cheerful skies. In thin the teak and mighty labor lies." It is said that "Providence moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform;" but it is not believed. Is not believable, that Providence ever demands so much of any one man as Colonel Bryan assumes has been placed upon his shoulders. "Keeping the democratic party straight," that alone is a big job.

more than should be expected of any one man. surely not of one who has entered upon the last lap of the three-score-and-ten years allotted as the extreme length of man life. Many men, some of them older, some younger have endeavored to keep "the democratic party but it yet remains bent and somewhat crooked. Yes, it is no small task to have prohibition enforced, besides the work that has been done in the past four years by Colonel Bryan, with the help of a large number of outsiders, it has been no small Job to enforce-prohibition, but we are on the road, and Bryan or no Bryan we will get there by and by and will have a dry nation.

AND JAPAN," SAYS JAP COMMERCE LEADER "America and Japan stand today as the only two great nations not threatened with chaos and disorder, not demoralized with internal dissension nor menaced by outward peril," said Daita Fujiyama, president of the National Federation of Chambers of Commerce of Japan, in a recent address in New York. "Europe Is in such a condition that her best statesmen fear she is in danger of losing her hold upon civilization.

There are still wars and rumors of wars, and they seem unable to cope with their problems. The responsibility of the world have always devolved upon those able to meet them, and at this time the future of humanity Is laragely in the hands of your country and mine. World peace, world prosperity and world progress depend upon how well we may be able to bring ourselves into a mutual understanding and co-operation." "There were times when Americans were apprehensive of Japanese militarism. Our militarism, however, was not Intended as a threat to the world, but was the reuslt of the situations which con-fonted us and menaced our national existence. Primarily the problem of the Far East grew out of the internal weakness of China.

Every nation interested in China was aggressive and militaristic. Could Japan afford to allow any jower, or concert of powers, to set up a militaristic regime at her very door? It is a pity thtat Japan, in order to obtain a square deal, was compelled to adopt the policy which caused her to be mistaken for a menace to the peace of the world.

And in this connection obtrudes the Idea that business men, as such, and not as politicians, not as dyed-in-the-wool partisans, could accomplish a great deaImore for themselves and for their countries, if they would co-operate not only with each other but with the business men of other countries for the economic advancement of their own particular nations and all together for the good of all a sort of industrial, social economic and political world court; aiming not only for national good but for safe and sane governmental guidance In the relations of governments one toward another.

Too often world affairs are left to the judgment, poor as it often is, of partisan officials whose purposes and judgments may be warped by political ambition, by desire for personal aggrandizement. Any such organization, even one composed of only the United States and Japan would be a tremendous force for good and the suggestion along this1 line made by Mr. Fujiyama may be more fruitful of results than even he anticipates.

He has been a contributor to fwoman, with a passionate love for many learned journals, including, since 1913, Modern Philology. In all these varied activities Bruce sought not nis own glory, but the discovery of truth, and the honor of the human spirit. We wish to remember him not only as, an unwearied and vigorous investigator of medieval romances, but as a man with something of the broad traditional background of a Virginia gentleman, always as ready to talk Df Virgil and Horace as of Lancelot or Le Morte Arthur, and one the limits of whose reading In modern writers were hard to discover. No better wish for the future of Arthurian scholarship can be suggested than that 'many younger scholars shall arise to emulate Bruce's example.

It was a little more than six months from the time they were planted when Burbank delivered the prune trees, of them, ready to plant.

His Potato a Wonder The Burbank potato was introduced in 1876. Acording to a statement of the United States department of agriculture, it added annually to the agricultural produciivfty of the country. The thornless cactus created a world-wide -sensation in 1896. For a time there was a general feeling that he might, as one writer said, grow rhubarb with'a vanilla flavor and a straw on the sTde or cross a strawberry with a milkweed and produce strawberries and cream. The actual facts, however, as to the patience and ingenuity that went to the creation of his many new varieties of fruits, vegetables and trees, are more wonderful than any of the Imaginative-yarns.

And Japan, in this constructive movement, is doing her part most earnestly: she has made good her public promises and restored Shantung to China, snd withdrawn her "troops from Siberia. Our intentions toward China are to establish a policy, not of aggression, but of economic co-operation. Unfortunately, this has not been well understood in America, With the close of the late war there appeared on the scene in rapid succession the question of Shantung, of Yap, and of Eastern Siberia.

The people of Japan and America then became rather un pleasingly conscious of each others existence; snd for a short time a darksome cloud nassed over our oldtime kindly relations. "But "the Washington Conference did not fail to find 1 the practical working way for us to settle all matters over which we war at variance. We may now look forward to establishing a peaceful co-operation In commerce and industry a a' basis for the world peace which we so much desire." Professor Bruce's death was a great shock to the flowers, to which her son has said he believes he owes his tendency. His earliest memories are of his mother's garden and of his father's training in the "tasks of farm and orchard. Started as Woodworker He went to district school and then to Lancaster academy, graduating with honor.

Then he went into the woodworking" department of a factory in Worcester but the work affected his health and he gave it up. He studied medicine for a year and then turned definitely to what was to be his life work. His first year's income from bis nursery was $37, and he was obliged to make his living by working as a farm hand. But in his third year an opportunity presented itself which was typical of the intensely practical nature of his work.
