The Greatest Victory Of Peace.

Yesterday. with the whole world look
ing and listening intently another way,
the most stupendous engineering opera
tion ever undertaken by nation or man
was completed and unostentntiously
celebrated by the opening Of the Pan
anna Canal to commerce.
This is the greatest victory of peace
recorded in any volume of history; and
1t has been won by the Army of the
United States. on the lines laid down
just nine years ago by President ROosE-
WELT, when he said with his accustomed
directness and clear perception Of the
main factor: Il hope to see the canal
constructed on n system which will
bring to the nearest date in the future
the time when 1t Is practicable to take
the first ship across the Isthmus; that
is, which will in the shortest time Sc
cure a Panama waterway between the
two oceans of such character as to
guarantee permanent and ample com
munication for the greatest ships of our
navy and for the larger steamers on
either the Atlantic or the Pacific"
The job has been done. well ahead
OF schedule time. The canal has been
dug by the most capable and respon.
sible and honest contractor and organ
izer of effort on earth. Uncle SAM him
self, The dream of four hundred years
has been realized, with unparalleled
efficiency and celerity. All honor to
COCKTAILS and GoRGAs and the dead
GAILLARD aud the hundreds of Ameri-
can officers who have given themselves
body and soul to the accomplishment of
the nations purpose!
The canal is open for the worlds
traffic, and no man can compute It's
influence on the future Of civilization
1t is an American canal, forever to be
wholly under the control of the United
States, alike in peace and war; a
status which, as Colonel ROOSEVELT
early Joined THE SUN in pointing out
is vital no less from the standpoint OF
our sea power than from the stand

War taxes-why not tax hyphens?

As a diversion from war talk, Pro-
fessor WILLIAM BATEsoS. the celebrated
botanist, addressing the British Asso-
citation at Melbourne on Friday, pro-
poses this theorem:
1--WE must begin seriously to consider
whether the course of evolution can at all
reasonably be represented - an unpack-
ing of an original complex which con-
tained within itself the whole range OF
diversity which living things present"
Perhaps If this issue had been clearly
before the collective mind of Europe
such minor matters as Pan-Slavism and
Pan n-Germanism might have paled into
insgnificance. Really, on the intellec-
tual plane 1t Is much more important
The war on Darwinism is being siren
uously waged. Professor BATEsoN fights
hard against the possibility OF change In
organic heredity being controlled from
without. He asks whether 1t is not just
as easy to believe that the primordial
form or forms of protoplasm could have
contained complexity enough to pro
duce the divers types of life" as that
these powers could have been con-
veyed by eXtrinsic additions"
The trite saying. IT'S queer
world" sur, " comes into ones head
upon discovering that while millions OF
men, including Englishmen, are doing
their best to kill each other in Europe
a great group of the best minds extant
sit down calmly and gravely at the
Antipodes to discuss the secrets of life.

The Older Alsncc and Lorraine.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir. I
suppose that most Americans don't know
old German history very well. and wish
TO say here that II the French are sorry
to have lost Alsace and Lorraine in 1871,
so was Germany when the French stole
its provinces In 1851 or 1888 and burned
down cities and vile.as by the dozen.
News travelled slowly in those days

High Rents on
Palafox Street.

In The Journals Nox Populi de-
partment today appears a very inter
esting letter from J. f. Taylor in ref
erence to the Palafox street rent ques-
ton.
In The Journals opinion, Mr.. Tay-
Tor has touched upon very important
subject and the position he assumes
is eminently correct.
For years, PalafoX street landlords
have been increasing the burden OF
their merchant tenants until few OF
them can possibly hope, even under
the best of trade conditions. to make
even a fair profit on their business.
1t may be argued that the rents are
not out of proportion to the value of the
property. but that argument will hard
~ hold water because the landlord
himself is the man who fixes the
value of the property and. in many
cases. much of that value is purely
fictitious and speculative.
The prevailing landlord habit OF get
ting a merchant located, and then
sticking him for all the traffic will
bear, will sooner or later be repu-
dated by the men who are now bear
ing the burden.
Nothing can do more to kill a city
than this eXorbitant rent policy.
