NE|GHbORLY CALL,
HARDING EXPLAINS
This Is What He Terms His
Stop-Of at Vancouver

BY The Canadian Press.
Vancouver, B. c.. July 27.-A
neighborly call. That Is President
Harding's conception of the interna'
tional historic event which took place
in Vancouver yesterday. The head OF
the big household south of the 4sth
parallel dropped in to see his neigh
Dor to the north in much the same
spirit as Mr.. Harding put 1t himself.
as one runs next door to borrow a
couple of eggs.
That was not only the sentiment
expressed in words by the chief ex-
ecutive of the American republic on
each of the four or five occasions that
he addressed assemblies of Canadian
citizens. 1t was the manner in which
he conducted himself throughout the
entire day.
1t was, too, the spirit in which the
people of Canada received the first
visit to the dominion ever paid by a
president.
For it was the people of Canada
who received him. Not only did the
100000 people of greater Vancouver
turn out in body to shout their
greetings to the president but an
other $4,000 fiocked into the city for
the same purpose.
When the United States transport
Henderson raised anchor and sailed
for Seattle the combined traffic po-
licemen of Vancouver raised a sigh of
relief. But the misbehaved mob of

lating Russian trading laws.

PRIEST TALKS ABOUT
EVOLUTION THEORIES
Atlanta Prelate Says Hypothesis 1.
Not Incompatible With
Catholicism

New York, July 27.-The Rev. R. H
Smith. Catholic priest of Atlanta
Ga, where William Jennings Bryan
recently has been preaching anti
evolutionary doctrine, said yesterday
before sailing by the American liner
Kroonland:
The hypothesis Of evolution is not
incompatible with Catholicism. ST.
Augustine In his polemical writings
long ago suggested that such a theory
of creation is probable. He even re-
ferred to specific animals. DO not
mean that Catholicism recognizes
evolution, because questions of this
character can and will be debated for
centuries"
Father Smith said he was amused
at the gravity of young students who
accepted the reconstructed prehistoric
animals at the Museum of Natural
History as bona flde.
DO you think" he asked that by
taking the jswbone of Al Joison or
Mary Pickford that any scientist could
build up the face of either of these
two personsges
The trouble is that young men and
women of today accept these fables
of half-bake evolutionists as true.
when not a single one rests on a
definite proof The Catholic church
does not debate tho issue of evolution
because IT is, after all, inconsequential
whether creation was by a slow, up
building process or q spontaneous act
on the part of the Creator. We are
interested in the soul-life of the hui
man being regardless OF the steps of
his origin"

the way the president rounded out a
speech filled with gracious friend
illness and whimsical good humor in
response to a toast in his honor at a
dinner given him by the government
of Canada last night at the close OF
his visit to Vancouver. There was
much of friendly badinage and moth

The Minimum Wage Decision.

Yesterdays decision Of the United
States Supreme Court that the mini
mum wage act Of Congress-applicabl
only to the District Of Columbia
and, inferentially, similar laws enact
ed by several states are unconstitu-
tional, is the last word on the subject.
The restraining hand Of the Constitu-
ton has been laid upon Congress and
legislature alike, and the country will
obey.
Yet, it is probable that while yield
ing assent to the legal decision in
volved, moral sense will continue in
those places where the law has been
in practice to hold that the principle
of the legislation in question is bene-
fetal and in the interest Of humanity,
and to carry out the spirit of the law
in the treatment Of employees affected.
All this is now a matter subject en-
tirely to the individual pleasure Of
employers and to the extent to which
they are influenced by the moral
sentiment of their respective COM
munities.
In the District Of Columbia, for in
stance, it has been established that
the community at large favors the
betterment of conditions affecting the
IL, 500 women and minor children and
supports the principle of decent liv-
ing wage. The employers, generally
speaking, of Washington have shown
sympathy with this idea, although
there may have been cases where the
law worked, to say the least, inequali-
ties.
1t is hoped, and confidently antici-
| rated, that a friendly attitude toward
| the interests Of the specified employees
will be maintained by their employers,
even though uncompelled by the spur
of the law, and that, no drastic re-
auctions in wages ensuing, relations
will continue in the main along the
lines hitherto stipulated by Congress.

No Changes in the Post Office.

The new city postmaster, William
NJ. Mooney, who takes Office in sue
cession to Mr.. Chance, announces
that he does not contemplate making
any changes among the administra-
tive officers. In connection with this
announcement he speaks Of the Off
cheney of those who are to be his as
sistantS and of the fact that they
have come to their supervisory posi-
tons by working their way up" 1t
was expected that a man who has
been so long in the postal service as
Mr.. Mooney and who understands
what experience and team work count
for in handling the mails and in di-
recting the men who actually handle
mail would deliver himself of an adj
dress Of this tenor. 1t is pleasant to
hear him say it. The Washington
Office has been in good hands, Is in
good hands and will continue in good
hands. The people Of the District
wish Mr.. Chance the best luck in the
business field; they wish the best luck
to Mr.. Mooney, who takes office on
May /, and extend their best wishes
to Assistant Postmaster Haycock, who
is now in charge of the office.

Britishers cooked up, end they did
not a little chortling over their own
cleverness. Funding of the British
debt to America, with provision for
annual payments, made it necessary
that Great Britain find somewhere
huge yearly sums. Why not, 1t was
asked, find them in the United States,
where huger sums are available than
elsewhere in the world? Casting about
for ways and means, they hit upon the
automobile and its Unsuitable appe-
title for rubber. The United States has
more automobiles and uses more rub
Der than any other country In the
world, and has no rubber supplies Of
it's own. The British control a large
proportion Of the worlds output Of
crude rubber, and in connection with
the Dutch they have almost a monop-
oily. So it looked like a simple matter
to form a combine and compel for
eign purchasers-particul Ameri-
can purchasers-to pay an export tax,
thus deriving huge revenues and at
the same time fostering the British in
dustry Of rubber manufacture.
So the combine was formed, the ex-
port tax imposed and the British and
Dutch sat down to enjoy the usufruct
But their serenity was short-lived. The
Americans did not take it at all &C.
cording to Hoyle; in fact, were down
right contrary about it. Instead Of
cheerfully asserting to the program
that they should dig into their own
pockets for the money to pay off the
British debt to themselves, they began
to look around for their own sources
Of rubber supply. and this looking
around met with such responsive en-
couragement from Brazil and other
countries in tropical America that the
British and Dutch awoke suddenly to
a realization that they had overlooked
bet. They are in a panic now over
thought of what will become Of their
own plantations If in a few years they
lose the American market, which con-
sumes 70 per cent of the crude rubber
produced.

Potomac Park Barracks.

The Potomac Park barracks are to
stand. No time has been set for re-
moving them, and there is no telling
how long they will be allowed to re-
main. During the war these build
ings, quickly constructed, were bar
racks for infantry. The word bar
rack" at first meant hut for the
shelter of soldiers or laborers. Usu-
ally such hut was of tree branches.
Then the word came to mean a tenn
porary building for the use OF soldiers
and generally one in which soldiers
slept. Later it came to mean a per-
manent building for the lodging of
troops in garrison. These decaying
structures in East Potomac Park were
barracks and are now storage places
for furniture and miscellaneous artt-
cles used by the departments during
the war, but for which the govern
ment seems to have no further use.
The structures are already old and ex-
ceedingly shabby and are popularity
called an "eyesore." 1t was hoped
that they would be removed as soon
as possible after the departure OF the
troops they sheltered, but the hope
was not fulfilled. They ought to be
removed, but let us remember that
Rome was not built in a day and that
Potomac Park was not made in day.
There are so many things to be done
that they cannot all be done at this
time. Potomac Park is a beautiful
Park and is being made more beauti-
full year by year. The old structures
will pass. Hasten the day!

Retaliation Decreed.

The Supreme Court of the United
States declares invalid the section Of
the public utilities law which makes
it the tribunal of final resort in the
valuation of public utilities for rate
fixing purposes; but sustains the re-
viewing jurisdiction of the District
Supreme Court and the Court of APP
peals.
This decision sends the case back to
to the United States Supreme Court
had been made.
The Court of Appeals decision,
which is thus by indirection sustained.
reversed the decision of the District
Supreme Court sustaining the valua-
ton Of the electric power company
made by the Public Utilities Commits
sion. The Court Of Appeals held that
the trial court land the Utilities Com
mission erred in not ascertaining the
value Of the company as Of 1.-The time
Of said valuation" in accordance with
the direction of the law. The commits
sion had found the value of the prop
erty as of July l, 1914. The date of the
valuation was December 81, 1916. The
uncontradicted evidence showed, the
Court of Appeals says, that there had
been a sharp rise in values between
the two dates.
The Court Of Appeals holds: THAT
the present cost of reproduction is one
Of the necessary elements for con-
sideration along with other relevant
facts in fixing the fair and easonable
value of the property. 1t fol-
lows that the decree must be reversed
and the cause remanded for further
proceedings not inconsistent with this
opinion"
Evidently a revaluation of the prop
erty must be made on the corrected
lines laid down by the Court of Ap-
peals. The impounded funds must
apparently be held until the fair rate
Of charge based on the corrected valu-
alton Is finally ascertained, and is COM
pared with the rate that has been &C
tually charged and collected.
The making Of the revaluation and
clearly spread over a long period. AS
soon as Congress is in session the CAPT
tai community should press its legisla-
ture to cancel the legislative prohibit
ton of the employment Of special
counsel by the Public Utilities Com
mission, and to appropriate to pay
such counsel. The motives of Congress
In, ,enacting this prohibition are not
wisely or justly to be slurred. But
Congress and the capital community
wish only American fair play between
the Westinghouse who own stock in
the electric company and the other
more numerous class of Washing
fbhians who pay for electric light and
power.
1t is in the interest Of fair play and
the welfare of the community as a
whole that the Districts able counsel
should in the revaluation proceedings
be reinforced by special counsel au-
thorized by Congress.
