"The voice of the people is not always godlike. On 

 the contrary, a majority vote is often foolish. Look at 

 the absurdity of the anti-evolution law recently passed by 

 a thumping majority of the voters of Arkansas . . . 



"We have been deceiving ourselves a long time in talk- 

 ing about the sacredness of majority rule. There is noth- 

 ing necessarily divine or even intelligent about the opinion 

 registered by 51 per cent or even more of those voting on 

 a particular measure . . . 



"No man outside of Bedlam would think of inviting a 

 town meeting to vote on the question of taking out some- 

 body's appendix or of prescribing the strength of materials 

 to be used in a bridge. Yet evolution is far more com- 

 plicated than surgery or bridge building . . ."

THE MOST INTERESTING 



event of the year will be the clash between Mc- 

 Cabe and Riley, representing two conflicting ideas, 

 struggling for world mastery. Each man is recog- 

 nized champion-spokesman of his side, in deadly 

 earnest. The result of this momentous occasion 

 will flash around the world. 



IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND 



who isn't quite sure about evolution, bring him. 

 McCabe, Master of Lucidity, will make it clear. 

 And if you have one that thinks all fundamentalists 

 are "backwoods hill-billies", bring him too. Riley 

 will force him to take fundamentalists seriously. 



IN EVERY ONE OF TWENTY-ONE 



evolution debates in which Riley has taken part, 

 fundamentalists were in the majority. Evolutionists 

 must see to it that here in New York the Aud- 

 ience is
