TEXTS TEACHING MAN PRODUCT (
OF EVOLUTION MUST GO, (
SAYS REVEREND
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 26.—
Texts in science in the California *
public schools which teach that man
is a product of evolution—and "an f
ape-like mammal” must go, the Rev. (
George L. Thorpe, of Corins, River- j
iside county, declared recently in a (
letter to Will C. Wood, state super
intendent of public instruction. j
Opposing the “ape like” theory ,
with a biblical quotation to the ef- j
feet that man is the child of God,
created after his own image, the cler- (
gyman asserted that the Hughes book (
on science, which he scored, will nur- ,
ture a race of atheists and infidels ,
unless it is promptly put under ban.
"Shall our country and our civili
j zation be destroyed by the teaching
of evolution in the public schools?”
j asks Rev. Thorpe.
"No. Evolution must ^go, and
Hughes’ book on science must go.”
The minister stated that he con
' suited with Governor F. Richardson
j relative to the teaching of evolu
tion in the schools and that the gov
ernor referred him to Superintendent
Wood. The following statement was
issued by Wood relative to the mat
ter:
“There are various text books in
science listed in the state board of
education for use in the high schools
of the state which present the doc
trine of evolution, about which the
Rev. Mr. Thorpe complains.
"For example, I have before me
a book which declares that we
must place man with the ape-like
mammals bceause of numerous points
of structural likeness. It also de
clares that there is a greater differ
ence between the lowest type of ape
than between the highest type of ape
and the lowest savage man.
"I am referring the Rev. Thorpe’s
letter to the state board of educa
tion, which compiles the list of high
school text books from which local
boards make adoption. I am confi
dent the board will give Mr. Thorpe
a hearing.”
CALIFORNIA EXPECTS
INFLUX OF TOURISTS
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 26.—
Southern California is preparing for
its biggest winter tourist season in
history.
Railway officials have promised the
greatest trekking of visitors here on
record this winter and southern Cali
fornians are getting set for a golden
harvest.
Reasons for the predicted record
year here are listed as follows:
1. Great prosperity7 in Iowa and
other middle western states, making
it possible for residents to reap rich

irofits and winter in California.
2. Bigger grain prices mean more
3acific coast visitors, as farmers will
acation here.
3. This year’s enormous shipments
if fruit to eastern markets mean a
lirect return of eastern money and
esidents to California.
4. Faster trains and generally im
iroved traveling conditions to the
outhland.
All records for travel will be brok
n in southern California during the
oming season, according to W, S.
Jasinger, passenger traffic manager
if the Union Pacific system.
“General improvement in conditions
n the east, and better prices for
arm prdoucts is the reason,” says
iasinger.
W. J. Black, traffic manager of
he Santa Fe system, has announced
hat his company is preparing for
lie heaviest passenger travel in the
oad’s history.
“We have six limited trains daily,
nit have been forced to make plans
or another flyer,” announced Black.
The proposed newr train will es
ablish a new mark, according to
31ack, for fast time between east
ern points and Los Angeles.
Stamping out of the hoof and
'nout.h disease in California is also
•egarded as a factor which will in
crease travel to this section. During
several weeks this summer there was
little travel in some portions of Cal
ifornia owing to misleading reports
circulated regarding the cattle dis
ease and reported quarantine restric
tions.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chiekaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
