All the talk of Harrow and his ilk
about "freedom of science" and "libtrey
of teaching" i- supreme nonsense
No such legal prim iples exist in this
country of popular government, unless
the neople of some home-rule unit
set them up for themselves, hut for
none others. Every sensible mind
must repudiate the claim that a hired
teacher may e: forte upon the a-.anls
of ignorant children his noxious, ag- |
nostio or a' nrchistic notions a* the I
truth they must believe. Even reli- |
gious liberty i;? not permitted to violate
the moml sanctities of society, i
The supreme court of the United
States said (1890) "It is assumed
by counsel of petitioner, that because
no word of worship can he established
or leligious tenets enforced in this
country, therefore any form of worship
may be followed and any tenets,
however destructive of society, may
he held and advocated, if asserted to
he purl of the religious doctrines
of those advocating and practising
them. But nothing is further from
the truth."
? ?
Dai row and tollegues argued that
to prohibit the teaching of a scientific
theory of rent ion that contra- ?
diets the Genesis account is to pre- Jl
fer and legalize a sectarian inter- 1
pretation of the Bible and is there- I
fore, unconstitutional. Barrow knows J
that is not true hut he has the Menck- \
en idea th.it the supreme court of 1
Tennessee does not know that it is
not so. Darrow knows that the courts
have almost uniformly held that.
"The fact that statutes are colored
and molded hy the Christian religion
does not render their prohibition
violative of religious freedom, if primarily
they are civic regulations with
a vew to promote the moral and phy- (
.-iivtt* wmiare ui tne community.

Money flowing out of town to enrich

drain upon local civic prosperity. To

j Buying in Murphy means getting
the most for our money. Not
only do we get standard goods at the
most reasonable prices, but we make
an investment that eventually brings
dividends in the fornt of better stoies
better streets, and a better city.
Do not let any such leak as out-oftown
shopping threaten local enterprise.

nothing can penetrate it.
