    BARRING OF DARWINISM FROM
SCHOOLS LAUDED IN RESO
LUTION
(Tulsa World, March 27.)
Approval of the amendment ex
cluding books containing the Darwin
ian theory of evolution from the
books to be purchased for distribu
tion among Oklahoma school children
under the free textbook bill recently
passed by the legislature, was voiced
by Immanuel Baptist Church in reso
lutions adopted Sunday and an
nounced Monday, and, further, sup
port in enforcement of the amend
ment pledged.
The resolution read:
“Whereas, the House of Repre
entatives of the State of Oklahoma
has passed as an amendment to the
free textbook bill, the provision that
no textbooks to be used which con
tain the Darwinian theory of evolu
tion or other materialistic conception
of creation, and,
“Whereas, the Senate of the State
of Oklahoma has concurred with the
House of Representatives by also
passing this amendment; and,
“Whereas, Gov. J. C. Walton of
Oklahoma has, by signing the bill
with the amendment, made it a law;
and,
“Whereas the Immanuel Baptist
Church of Tulsa, Oklahoma, is, as it
always has been, unequivocally op
posed to the teachings of Darwin and
other exponents of the theory of evo
lution, because their teachings are
not in harmony with the account of
creation as given in Genesis.”
Therefore, be it
“Resolved, that the Immanuel
Baptist Church of Tulsa go on record
as being In favor of the above men
tioned amendment, commending the
action of the two houses of the Okla
homa Legislature, and heartily stand
ing behind the enforcement of the
amendment.
“Be irfurther resolved, that a copy
of these resolutions be sent to the
Governor of Oklahoma, J. C. Walton;
^ the speaker of the Senate of Okla
homa; the speaker of the House of
Representatives of Oklahoma, the
Tulsa World and the Tulsa Tribune,
and that a copy thereof be incorpor
ated into the records of this church.
“(Signed) Daniel R. Wade Pastor,
“Thomas W. Pryor, Clerk.”
BRYAN PLAN WORKS
Doctor A. A. Murphree, president
of the University of Florida, acting
on the suggestion of William J.
Bryan, inaugurated a pledge-signing
crusade in the great " school over
which he presides. Signing the total
abstinence pledge himself, he pre
sented a copy to the members of the
faculty, everyone of whom signed. A
copy was then furnished to every
student in the university, and with
returns still coming, seventy-five per
cent of them have been enrolled. All
these facts and others equally inter
esting are covered in an editorial by
William J. Bryan, in The Commoner,
which we are reprinting on another
page of this issue.
It is to be hoped that college and
university presidents everywhere will
join in this crusade. Attention more
than once has been called to the fact
that the next generation must keep
up the fight for the enforcement of
prohibition. What chance of success
will there be if that generation has
not been taught total abstinence?
There are better reasons now why
young men and young women should
sign the pledge—why all people
should—than there were in the days
. of the licensed saloon. Those reasons
are found in the policy of outlawry
for the liqudt traffic to which the
nation legally and constitutionally
has committed itself.
In the days of the licensed saloon,
with some slight show of reason, one
might decide that he would not com
mit himself personally to total ab
' Btinence. The liquor traffic was a
legal institution. The saloon kad the

he pleased. But today the country,
by its Constitution and its laws, is
committed to the prohibition policy.
The corollary of prohibition by the
state is total abstinence for the in
dividual. The patriotic American
citizen, who intends to obey the law
ought not to hesitate to take the
pledge of total abstinence.
