HE United States Supreme Court has certified to the existence of a housing crisis m New York City. It recognizes the Rent Laws as a legiti- mate exercise of the police power in an emergency. The landlords can carry their case to no higher tribunal here on earth, They will have to depend on Divine retribution to punish unregenerate tenants who have been unwilling to pay all the {profiteers have demanded. Somehow we question whether the landlords will want to rush their case before any Higher Tribunal. This Supreme Court decision is gratifying to he Evening World. The Rent Laws were passed as the result of the vigorous campaign carried on by this newspaper. The Evening World is frankly proud of the public service it has rendered in the Yong struggle to protect tenants. * After the first successful skirmishes the tenants found other able advocates who deserve their full * share of credit, but in the early stages of the fight The Evening World and The World bore the brunt of the attack. ” Even after the Legislature enacted the Rent Laws the landlord organizations were contemptuous. This attitude changed when the court decisions be- an to come in. It is rare, indeed, that such important and far- reaching legislation emerges from exhaustive legal tests with an unbroken record of victories. Results of yesterday's election in the Third Maine Congressional District indicate a Re- publican plurality about a third as big as in 1920, in a total vote only half as large. LJ From this it will, of course, be possible to figure out to five decimal places how much faith in the Republican Party the rest of the country has managed to cherish through the past twelve months and seventeen days. HERE'S HER CHANCE. “ H, THESE MEN!” has been the age-long cry of the distracted housewife who won- ‘ders why in the name of common sense the male ‘home-builders put doors where windows ought to be, neglect to provide closet room, place the kitchen where the dining-room belongs and the bedroom “where it never should have been. The Evening World’s prize contest for the best arrangement of the space available in a New York City apartment gives the women opportunity to show the men how it ought to be done. The results will be valuable. Builders and archi- tects will watch the contest with interest and will istudy the plans suggested by the ones who ought to know best. ' The men have been making mistakes. Then let the women correct them and show the builders how tit ought to be done. “The Evening World hopes to see improvements in this year's new home construction as the result of this contest. HIGH ART. For several years the Independent Artists have held their annual exhibitions on a high plane—the roof of the Waldorf. “Higher criticism” by the owners of the roof ~ has forced the withdrawal of five out of six * of the nudest of the nudes in the current exhibition. Now it is rumored the next Independent show will have to be independent of the Waldorf's limitations on décolleté. However, the high cause of Art need not despair. There are other and higher roofs. TRADERS’ TALK. HE I. R. T. and B. R. T. are vigorously pro- testing against the valuations recommended to the Transit Commission by its engineering staff. “Confiscatory” is the mildest and most moder- ate term applied. The true valuations, according to the spokesmen for the corporations, are far and away higher than those the commission has sug gested. Early appeals to the courts are threatened. Not even Mayor Hylan is more certain that Transit Commission is all wrong. There is no immediate reason for alarm. The 1, R. T. and the B. R. T. are beginning to make a noise like a horse trade. They are ask more than they hope to get. They are talkir marily for effect. When the time comes, the same men will be ready and waiting to make substantial “sacrifices.” They will be ready to “compromise.” It may be the Transit Commission is also doing a little horse-trading. The commission's tentative figures may be low enough to allow opportunity for compromise. One feature of the B. R. T. protest is unfortu- nately only too valid. It deals with the city’s delay fm carrying out its agreement in regard to the 14th e far pri r — _THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, MAROH 21, 1922, Street line.

It is inexplicable except as a mani- = = festation of Hylanism in control. THE FIRM STAND, B’ REFUSING to make further recommerda- tions and by leaving responsibility with Con- gress, President Harding gets credit for having taken a firm staid yesterday toward the Bonus Bill. Following the announcement of this firm stand, Congressmen were as divided as ever on the ques- tion whether the President will veto the bill in its present form. Republicans who are for the bill say that if it passes the President will accept and sign it as “the will of Congress.” Republicans who are against the bill think the President will veto it if it comes to him. Others frankly admit they don’t know what the President will do. They would be glad to know for their guidance in a situation that urgently calls for plain-spoken leadership. When President Harding was candidate Harding, he declared that, if elected, he would guard with “firmness, insistence and jealousy the prerogatives of the Executive, who is perhaps more distinctly and personally responsible than any other official directly to the whole American people.” What about such responsibility of the Executive when it is a question of exerting to the utmost his influence as party leader upon Congressmen bent on legislation that he himself has declared a men- ace to national prosperity? Should he leave one iota of doubt as to what he thinks of that legislation or what he will do, so far as it lies in his power, to save the country from its consequences ? This proposed Bonus Bill is no minor matter. The President himself has repeatedly empha- sized the importance of the bonus as affecting the interests of the whole American people to whom he holds himself “more distinctly and personally responsibie than any other official.” Yet what has the President done? He has taken a firm stand that he will make it no clearer to party or people what he means tu do about the present Bonus Bill if it passes. The uncertainty can be capitalized by those who wish to capitalize it. From Evening World Readers If doubt as to the President’s intenions will help ait] No eee EVOLUTION The AB C of This Famous Epoch- Making Theory By Ransome Sutton Copyright, 1929 (The New York Eventn | World) by Prees Publishing companyee 1, INTRODUCTION, In this column, «4 chapter at a time, I shall undertake to tell the story of Evolution, It is a thrfling theme, for it has to do with the unfolding of the past into the present and of the presen into the future. What thinking wish most to know, evolution Plains, or at least suggests answer. The story will tell of struggl grim and game, among all kinds creatures, which have been fought @ finish in the waters, on the land and in the acr; struggles which began when the world was young and from which man has emerged god-like, if you please, but still a mammal. Despite the dignity of the drama, however, William Jennings Bryan, Dr. Straton and others have raised the old hue and cry. But regardless of what detractors may say, evolu- tion remains man’s best friend; found him a beast, running among beasts; it has made him re- spectable and will doubtless in time make him respectful. ‘Iwo bugbears guard the approach to the subject, like stone lions guard- ing the gates which open into mag- niticent estates. One represents Fear, and too many sincere Christians are frightened by elieving that evolution is to religion. ‘The other ents Pride, the kind of pride scorns ancestral connection with the apes. As to these venerable bogies not inuch need be suid. Evolution does not teach atheism, or disbelief in God. Evolutionists read the Bible reverent- side by side with the Book of Ni ture, but they do not make a fetich of either. They learn from the Bible the golden rules which are guiding the nations that obey them toward the kingdom of brotherly love. deed, the religions that have ut of the Bible have themselves been evolved as a part of the process which is purging man's mind of animal In- stincts and propensities, and it goes ithout saying that a system as a whole cannot be repugnant to any of its parts. Naturalists think of nature as evolution's workshop, poorly kept, it would seem. Amid the dust of ages, antique models of animals and 9! are found which were used in making of improved varieties. ‘No model has been found without a pro- totype. So students of nature came to believe that nothing was ever created out of nothing, but that out of old forms new forms have grown, just as corn has grown out of grasses and grasses out of earlier grasses. That is what evolution means—the unfolding processes of nature. Can there be anything irreligious about it? “Some call it evolution and others call it God.” NCOMMON SENSE |)... sac frightfulness, Social upstarts may feel ashamed of their ancéstors and What kind of Jetter doyou find most readable?

We think how badly people have behaved toward us and huw little we have done to deserve such behavior.
