This tax amounts to five cents on each $100 of the capitalization represented by business transacted In Illinois. The money for this tax Is now due. The petition for an-Injunction Is based on a recent decision of the United States Supreme court, which declared unconstitutional an act of the Ohio legislature practically identical with the franchise tax provisions of the Illinois general corporation act. The question of the validity of the Illinois law is , now pending In the state Supreme court, but cannot be decided until next fail. After the money for these taxes gets tnto the hands of the state treasurer the only remedy is through the Court of Claims and an appropriation by the general assembly, which Is so uncertain that the Illinois Manufacturers' association, after circularizing its members and receiving favorable response from several hundred, decided upon the Injunction proceeding. 9»896889S88SCSS9S88X88Se889S88SS8SSe88SS8 FRENCH LOSS IN RIFF CAMPAIGN Freeport.--Attorney General Oscar |i!'"*tearigtrom of Aledo will be the |i j speaker at the annual reunion of the AoJT'^Old Settlers' association of Stephen- \ jjsson county, to be held on August 26. | Havana.--Squirrels are protected at »•; " this time and It may prove costly for i'illr.'- Robert Martin and C.

Fundamental- Ism has won. There will be appeals to higher courts, but so far as the decision here Is concerned the matter Is to all Intent and purpose settled now. Tennessee's legislature has decided that evolution and the Bible conflict, and that settles the question. Judge John T. Raulston ruled In barring expert witnesses from the trial of John T. Scopes. However, the scientists are writing their views for presentation te the Appellate court. No light of science or theology Is needed, he declared, where the policy of the state has been clearly stated by the legislature. Dayton, Tenn.--Dayton heard William Joinings Bryan plead for revealed, religion, for salvation, for the Bible'saccount of creation. He "scourged thei^ •coffers" and there was mighty applause. Then Dudley Field Malone, Scopeslawyer, arose and stated the case for science--as not being In conflict with real religion. He pleaded for the individual's right to search for the truth. And, an amazing thing, he won even greater cheers than Bryan. Bryan had spoken. He had thrown all his prepared arrows at Darrow. He had singled out the Leopold-Loeb case lis the one example of corrupted youth* poisoned by the philosophy of -the modern schools, the students of Kletzsche. • ' This was only one step from evolution, Mr. Bryan had argued. He had offered to call a million witnesses who„ rejected evolution because It conflicted with the Bible. He drew a picture of the family tree of the evolutionists, tracing it back to monkey and a "lonely cell In the bottom of the sea," and described how it took faith and morality and God away from the children and made scoffers of them. He spoke of the "revealed religion" of the Bible, the beautiful story of Christ, the Virgin birth, the atonement, the resurrection, all the Christian faith with its consolations for mankind, claiming that this was eliminated, destroyed, by science and their hypothesis of evolution. He ridiculed the majority of scientists as unbelievers, the Christian evolutionists as having a vague, far-away God that they could not feel. He spoke for Immortality, for snlvatlon, for all the religious doctrine that forms the foundation of the faith of the American nation. But the strange part of It was the other side was with him. They, too, accepted this consolation and this hope and this salvation. But they insisted , ..jon their own freedom of interpreta- - " Ition, that the Bible must not be used •ias a textbook of science, not taught as s course of science In the schools, not used in that way at all. It was a book for the private conscience. William Jennings Bryan outlined the state's fight against expert witnesses on the theory of evolution in a stirring plea as follows: "A Christian believes that man comes from above, but the evolutionists believe that man comes from below. "Man Is shown as a mammal, scattered around somewhere Inside a circle with 3,499 other mammals, Including elephants. "A great game in public schools now is trying to find man. You can't find him. "Now here we have our glorious pedigree and each child is expected to take it home to his family to be substituted for the Bible family tree. "I do not think evolution deserves to be called a theory, It Is a hypoth esls. "Every theory has failed and today there Is not a scientist who has traced one species to another, and yet they call us Ignoramuses and bigots because we don't throw away our Bible. "This doctrine of evolution disputes the very thought of the virgin birth, eliminates the resurrection and the atonement. Evolutionists leave no room for miracles and the Bible teems with miracles. They deny by logic every truth of the Christian religion. "Experts cannot' be permitted to come into this court-find testify that evolution Is not a bad doctrine. "If they had half the affection for Tennessee, Indicated by their presence here, they would have appeared bfore the legislature." Dudley Field Malone of counsel for Scopes, defending the right to Introduce expert testimony, pictured William Jennings Bryan In a dangerous role. He said: "Whether Mr. Bryan likes It or not, he Is a mammal; he Is an animal; he Is a man. "Since listening to the prosecution I know of no clearer reason why science should be taught and the people given a chance to be open-minded. •This trial has developed two things. The difference between the theological and the scientific frame of mind. Theology Is ancient and lit eral. It is accustomed to being closed to the mind. Science Is modern and progressive, and Is constantly open to the mind. "Admit this scientific testimony and the minds of the prosecution will be Improved and their souls purified. "We are not afraid of the truth. The prosecution Is excluding t)>e jury from hearing these scientific witnesses because of their fear." Mrs. John B. Stetson of Philadelphia, wife of the recently appointed American minister to Poland. U. S.
