SUPPRESSING FREEDOM
The first contingent of American
aviators left Paris today to take ser
vice in the French army against Abd
el Krim, the Moroccan chieftain who
is fighting to free his country from
French domination. The puissant
chieftain cannot be classed as an ig
norant, lawless brigand, as he is
as highly educated as the average
American was at the time of the up
rising of America against British rule
For many years France and Spain
have attempted to gain a foothold in
northern Africa, fighting desperately
to hold on to what they have gained.
It ill becomes any American to take
up arms against a nation fighting for
freedom against an alien foe. Liberty
is the most priceless possession of the
human race, and the most ignorant
tribe is more competent to govern its
affairs in their own way than under
the domination of despotic educated
rulers.
The Moroccan rebel up to the pro
sent time has held his own againsl
the guns and airplanes of his more
powerful foe, but there is no doubt
that the combined forces of France
Spain and several hundred adventu
rous aviators can crush out any spirit
of freedom remaining in the little
country.
The interview given newspapermer
by Abd el Krim, published in a reeeni
issue of the Literary Digest is as pol
ished as the statements of the imrnor
tal Washington, and shows him to b<
far above the average in mentality
and patriotic fervor.
The reported strike at Valdez Creel
appears to be a “duster.” An article
taken from the Fairbanks News Minei
from the pen of an old timer of the
Cantwell section, shows that all the
ground on the creek has been stakec
for the past fifteen years, and thai
operators are not making expenses
Those who rushed off to the scene o
the new strike will probably ge'
stung.

a mail contract could undoubtedly be
secured from the postoffice depart
ment. This with the money received
from passengers and express parcels
would give an aviator a substantial
sum of his season's earnings Next

to have a good plane placed on the
run.
PERNICIOUS LEGISLATION
One of the greatest evils resulting
from the recent evolution trial in Day
ton, Tennessee, will be the attempt
of public school boards to force reli
gion on the public by injunction. The
man who does not believe in a su
preme being, with the many evidences
of His existence on every hand is a
fool. Few persons are atheists at
heart, but espouse its cause from a
desire for publicity or undue notori
ety. Evolution is not a fact any more
than the miracles of the Bible are a
fact, if one must produce proof as to
their authenticity, but no proof is re
quired by the right thinking person.
To the Christian well grounded in
the precepts of Christianity and with
an abiding faith in the hereafter, no
proof is required that God exists. But
to prove that He exists in a certain
form, namely, that of man, would
probably be hard to confirm. Man
undoubtedly has a soul. Can you
prove it? No! But you know he has
because all evidences point to the
fact. A man without religious ten
dencies is as irresponsible and irres
olute as a ship without a rudder. The
well ordered scheme of existence is
too perfect to have just happened. To
our mind it shows the workings of a
higher power.
Biology and geology are opposite in
their truths to those of the Bible, yet

why cannot both be right in their
teachings. Science may be right in
many teachings, and is yet groping
after truth, but the average person
can accept whatsoever of these ideas
that may conform with his views. To
attempt to force him to believe them
by legislation is wrong and can result
in opposition to the persons attempt
ing it. The man who believes in
theories conflicting with the teach
ings of the Bible has no right to
thrust his views upon others, espe
cially the immature minds of children.
But to expound the theory of evolu
tion can be no more wrong than for

die result of
complete vaporization
It isn’t gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder and makes power.
It’s gas—air, mixed in the carbure
tor with gasoline to form vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark plugs
and cylinder walls.
That’s why you get better mile
age out of “Red Crown”—and a
cleaner, sweeter-running engine.

gullet is too small to have taken Jo

says that a “big fish” swallowed him.
The layman of today calls the fish a
whale because it is the largest fish
he knows of.
If a theory is not proven to be a
fact it wiH in time die, and be replac

the evolution theory die out instead
of attempting to legislate it out of
people’s minds?
