JUST WONDERIN’
I wonder why a little word :
Can daunt the mind of man
And blind him to the majesty
And beauty of the plan,
Whereby long aeons of the. past
Wrought for this age of ours,
Their regal gifts of towering trees,
And fruitful vines, and flowers.
] wonder why so many otherwise open aiuded people;
shrink as though in alarm when the word evolution is mentioned in their presence. lis it because the word ‘has become
so generally linked with the theory of man’s descent from the
chimps and anthropoids of prehistoric ages?
This so called theory, which by the way, was not promulgated by Darwin, is not all of evolution, for evolution is the
process by which the earth, once without form and void, has
gradually, through long aeons of time, assumed its present
form and become a fitting home for man. _
There is no reason to be afraid of the word or the theory
of evolution; we see the presence of evolution in every object
in the world about us. We confess to its mysterious powers,
_ whenever we reflect that great oaks from little. acorns grow.
“We trust it whenever we plant a seed, or train a vine across
the garden wall. Let’s forget the chimps and the anthropoids
and approach the subject of evolution with a determination to
understand its wonders and its gifts to our age from countless
ages of the past.
We are told that a little flower of but four petals, which
left its impression upon the strata of prehistoric ages, is the
small beginning from which has been evolved the wealth of
beautiful and exotic flowers which we enjoy today, and this
is but one of the innumerable facts which we learn from the
testimony of the rocks.
Were . trained and ordained to preach, . would find texts
for many a sermon in running brooks, in stones, in wayside
flowers, and in relics of our remote past which offer irrefutable testimony relating to the antiquity of this globe which is
our home.
I think that should . come across these words: God works
in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, that I would
whisper, evolution is the way—the great plan of growth and
unfoldment which works, not only in the physical aspects of
nature, but also in the mind of man and in his relations with
his fellow men and the world about him.
A number of years ago, the oil pits of La Brea Rancho,
near Los Angeles afforded an awe inspiring chapter in the history of the world and when the strange skeletons had been
articulated and set in a room of the Los Angeles museum, we
went to stare and express our amazement. . was glad indeed
that the uncouth beasts of fifty or a hundred thousand years
ago, had by the processes of evolution, been reduced in size
and ferocity and that they no longer strode the earth with
giant tread. By all means let's forget our prejudices and study
the magniture and beauty of the plan which has given us the
earthly home we love today.—Adeline Merriam Conner:

Harley M. Leete, Jr.
Is there anyone in town who hasn’t
got a cold? The entire Nugget staff
. has, except-for the Boss, who claims
the excessive quantities of nicotine
in his system poison the germs. If
you wonder about the quality of today’s issue of the paper, just be
thankiful it wasn’t printed on Kleenex—that’s how tough ‘the cold situation at 305 Broad Street is right
now. :
The following is a bit of undiluted
nlagiarism, stolen from one of the
YWeliest weekly papers in the country. Scoop Thurman’s COLFAX RECORD. However, I mitigated the theft
a trifle by calling Scoop up and asking his permission to use it, which
he granted gladly, ‘announcing that
after all, he had gotten it from
somewhere’ else. This humorous Dit’
has probably gone the rounds like a
chain letter, from one newspaper :0
the other, and may continue for centuries.
Howdy customers! Consider the
editor! A child is born unto the wife
of a merchant:in the town. The physician getteth 100 plunks. The editor
writeth a stick and a half telleth the
4 multitude that the child tippeth the
scales at nine pounds. Yed he lieth
even as a centurian and thé proud
father giveth him an EF] Stinko cigar.
Behold, the young one groweth up
and graduateth. And the editor putteth into his paper a swell notice.
Yea, a peach of a write up. He telleth of the wisdom of the young 'woman and of her exceeding comeliness.
Like unto. the roses of Sharon is she
and her gown played up to beat the
band. And the dressmaker getteth
two gcore and four iron men. And the
editor gets a n®te of thanks from the
sweet girl graduate.
And the daughter goeth on a
journey, and the editor throweth
himself on the story of the farewell
party. It runneth a column solid.
And the fajr.one rememibereth him
from a far with a picture post card
that costeth six for a jitney. *
Behold, she returneth and. the
youth of the town fall down and
worship. She picketh one and lo, she
picketh a lemon. But the editor cal!eth him one of ‘our promising young
men and getteth away with it. And
they send unto the editor a bid to
the wedding and behold the bids are
fashioned and printed in a far city.
Flowery: and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth 10 bones. The groom
standeth with the editor off for a 12months subscription.
All flesh ig grass and in time the
wife is gathered unto the soil. The
minister getteth his bit. The editor
printeth a death notice, two columns
of obtiuary, three lodige notices, a
cubit of poety and a card of thanks.
And he forgetheth to read proof on
head and the darned thing cometh
out:
“GONE TO HER LAST ROASTING
PLACE”’
And all that are akin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with
exceeding great jumps. And _ they
j. pulleth out their ads and canceleth
. their subs and théy swing the hammer even unto the third and fourth
generations.
As long as I’m stealing stuf today,
I’m going to steal another little piece
this one from Doug Barrett's SIERRA
SUN column entitled My Place in
the Sun. It’g called:
THE PRINTING PRESS
Iam the printing press, born of
the mother earth. My heart is of
steel, my limbs are of iron and my
fingers are of brass. I sing the songs
off the world, the oratories of history,
the symphonies of all tirte. I am the
voice of today the herald of tomorrow, I weave into the warp of the
past the woof of the ‘future. I tell
the stories of peace and war alike.
I make the human heart beat with
passion or tenderness, I stir the pulse
of nations, and make brave men do
better deeds. and soldiers die. I am
the laughter and tears of‘the world,
and I shall never die until all things
return to the immutable ust—I am
the printng press.—Robert Hobart
Davies. (1869-1942)
A very nice little essay, that Barret says he rescued from the waste
basket. The printing press is a
mighty. powerful instrument, all
right, but with radio and movies, and
the onset of television and the possibility of radio delivered newspaper,s it no loniger has the monopoly
on mass communication that it used
to.
(MIEMIO FROM THE EDITOR TO
HIMSELF: Go to Bioomifield in the
near future and write a better article about the town. The recent story
starting off: ‘“‘Bloomifield is dead”’
went over with an enormous thud in
that area, and several very much
alive citizens of Bloomfield came int othe NUGGET OFFICE to tell us
about it. Another article about North
San Juan would be good, too. Sensitice residents of the Ridge took exception to a recent reference in this
column to NSJ as a ghost town.
