REAL ESTATE GAMBLERS ARE STILL FOOT-LOOSE If the Mayor's Conferences Fait Governor Sproul Should Sum mon the Legislature COXKI3UKXCKS und conversations in the Maytfr's office or elsewhere will not bring relief to people who are being ulinmrlessly victimized and ex ploited by the new crop of nmiitcun Wulliugfords in the real estate business. The meeting of financiers called yes terday by Mr. Moore ended, apparently, without agreement on any plan that might bring builders, bankers, tenants and the building trades' unloiw simul taneously Into co-operative action with a definite and far-sighted program. It an agreement of this sort is not possible, and if a building revival wide enough to reduiT the kited valuation of residen tial properties cannot be tissilred. Gov ernor Sproul should call a special ses sion of the Legislature and demand the passage of a law patterned after tAat which leader- in the Legislature of Xw York have approved to limit rent in creases during the present jcar. Spring will bring infinite, hardship to countless rent-paers. It, will inspire in multitudes, the sort of bitterness and reseiuient that ilarcd ominously at n inass-meetlng iu the Assembly chamber at Albany. The Legislature of Xcw York acted within its rights when it proposed to exercise the war powers of the state to put a check upon a group of furiously avaricious -men who, as headlong aud rutjiless gamblers iu real estate, have actually become a menace to public peace. To say that we arc dealing with war conditions is not' to view the situa tion illoglcally. The shortage of houses is due directly to, the war. The abuses committed iu real estate markets by those who have no locitimnto or tier- manent association with the business of real estate development, arc a part of H'e transient mania, of opportunism all the period of readjustment. Private citizens cannot properly take a different view of the housing emer gency thau that which nu intimate knowledge of the matter forced upon Mayor Moore, Mr. Tustin and other members of tho city administration. The speculative fever is at its height. The gamblers in residence properties need to Mnake their killing now if they are to make it at all. If tbey do not complete the job within six months or a year they will have to seek wealth by the old-fasluoned nnd, to them, in finitely distasteful method of honest work. Een a gradual revival of subffrban and city building would not seriously interfere with the peculiar' enterprise of these interests. But the announce ment of au extensive and co-ordinated thai bread should bf sold at a million dollars a loaf. A single class of speculators have proved cleverer and more resourceful thau the ageucio estahlNhed by gov ernment iu the interests of order aud justice. With tliefii sonio one will have to d. nl. And it nill not do to suiy merelv, n- Mr. Eurle suid jesterduy,' that the housing shortage is 11 world wide ufTliction, more acute lu-Eiiglnnd thuu it is here. Tliis is true The shortage of houses is more apparent iu England than it is here. Sfi is the spirit of social in surgence Austria, Uussm and some other European nations are worse off than the Mrilish. And it Is noticeable cierjwl.ere that faithlessness and un rest develop inev.tablj wherever the people are left at u disadvantage iu the struggle for existence. II is asking a great deal to demand thill a man revere laws which compel lurw to submit to robbery or tnke chances with his children in the streets. It is not often that the riot mood makes its appearanep in the Legislature of u state a it did the other day In New York That spectacle isn't seemly In America Nor Is the spectnelo of families driven from their homes' in squads, without shelter for themselves or their belongings. Builders and financiers have hesi tated to undertake extensive develop ment work because of the enormous in creases in tho costs of lubor and build ing material. But it Is pretty generally admitted that such costs will not soon decline and that if they do fall they will not fall far. It must seem to a lookcr-ou from the outside that any one who will prepare to meet a crying and, unsatisfied demand Wr one 01 nier e.sWHiiain fjtAiifo can always (ir assured of a good 'ijfojji. If Vi--i 1 -itk Mif.M.Atft.tt.L.,.i!-yi EVENING PUBLIC- i i , - - - - the sort of bulldltfg program that the fayor has In mlud were to bo carried through, (ho legitimate Investments al ready made In real estate," the larger returns now going to honest property holders and the capital put into now resident lal areas would be safe. Tho only thing necessary is to get tho water out of property values, If action by Governor Sproul Is nec essary to this enn, that notion should not be (lehi)Ptl. The Xcw York Legis lature will probulSly pass Its emergency law under which it will be Illegal for any one jto Increase house rents more than -'." per cent nbovc the limits estab lished ih 1,1)10. That provision is very liberal. Tax Increases and the costs of maintenance and repair are well Within that limit. Property owners in Xcw York will still bo assured of lordly prof its. Yet a similar, law operating In Pennsylvania and leaving, ns it would, a wide latitude for prolitcers, would still bo adequate to rfave many rent payers from ruthless exploitation. Such arc the extremes to which the speculators hnvo gone, s The luvnders nud parasites of the real estate business have gone to n point nt which theif work has the appearance of organized lawlessness. If nn net of the Legislature Is required to curb them, the Governor should summon the Legislature nbd summon it at once. owen;s treaty panacea BKL1EF, is spreading that there should be some amendment to the constitution which will prevent n mi nority from controlling the foreign policy of the country. Forty-nine senators voted for the ratification of the peace treaty and only tlilrty-iive opposed It." Here was n clear majority of fourteen. But the thirty five senators were able to defeat the treaty. Mr: Bryan haft been saying that the Democratic platform should demand nn amendment to tho constitution which would permit ratification of treaties by u majority vote. Senator Owen has anticipated the ac tion of the convention by proposing a joint resolution directing the submission to the stdtcs of an amendment providing not only 'for ratification by n majority vote, but empowering tho Senate to par ticipate with Jho President in framing treaties iu the first place. His proposed amendment reads: Tho Tresldcnt hhalt have power, by and with the ndvloe of thoScnate. to frame treaties, and, with the consent of the Senate, a majority of the Senate present concurring therein, to conclude the same. The existing provision regulating the making of treaties reads iu this way : Ho (tho President) shall havo power, by nndwith tho advice and Consent of the Seifate, to Inako treaties, provided two-thirds of the senators present con cur. Senator Owen, wo suppose, will argue that if flic advice of the Senate' had been obtained iu framing the peace treaty it would have been ratified long nfio. But this presupposes the ability of u ma jority of the Senate agreeing on what . should go into the treaty. It apparently would make tho framing of any treaty so tiitncmt as.to uc almost impossible. The Senate may vote to submit the (Oweu amendment to the states, but there is doubtless practical sense enough in the House to prevent Its Indorsement of any such extreme proposition. Au ojuendmcut providing for a ratification by a majority vote, while the President wns left free to negotiate treaties, would have a better chance of meeting general approval. " "DURNED POOR JUDGMENT" GOVERNOR HOLCOMB, of Con necticut, who has refused to call an extra session of the Legislature to pass on the equal suffrage amendment, reminds one of tho bull which tried to stop a railroad train. An Irishman who saw what was left of the bull re marked, "I admiro your courage, but you havo durned ioor judgment." Tho governor explains that he is sworn to obey the constitution of his state, which restricts suffrage to males, aud that if he should call a. special ses sion of the Legislature aud if the equal siifTnif-e nmrmltncnf mIuimM lie rntl.le.l iic would bo purtieiputiug iu nu amend- . . . ment to the state constitution made without submission to the electors of the state, uud would thus violate his oath to support the constitution. This is the most ingeulnus and most unconvincing teasou yet offered iu jus tification of "obstruction. If Governor Holcomb had contented himself - with saying that ho was opposed to equal suffrago and would preveiit it to the extent ot his power it would have been possible to respect his courage, even if one disagreed with him. ' A dispatch from Amerongen. has it that the ex -kaiser is annoyed by his clofffc guard. Before letting our sympathy for him run away with us we stop to consider the" fact that there are some other crlmluuls who have oven greater cause for nunojauee. Secretary Baker says the govern ment can make S'J.OOO.OOO n jear by operating a nitrate plaut at Muscle Shoals, Ala, We seem to remember n sipillar glowing promise when the gov ernment took over the railroads. "Every campaign fund is nu adver tising appropriation. Advertising enn't "put over ' n worthless candidate, but it can put frills on a good one nud some, times give, him n selling quality higher than that ofbetter goods. This has so far been n noteworthy wccku the matter of lighting effects, the uuroru liorenlis being followed by a "near aurora" and n failure of the elccjrie light plant to function. If the nction of the Philadelphia stock exchange finds enough emulators it will not be necessary to ask Congress ut its next sessiou to re -enact a day light saving bill.

Mistake Was Made When Preti dent's Lost Photograph Was Not Censored -Greatness , and the Snapshot WHY, oh why, did tey let the. photo graphs of President JtVllnon which were printed In the press a few days ago sc"e publication? Mr. Wilson 1ms been ill. but ho docs not look so bad ns those pictures made him look, .with their stary eyes nnd half-open ""mouth. That "goes without saying. If the President had looked llko that, Mrs. "Wilson, Admiral Grayson, Mr. Tumulty nnd everybody else who sur round tfce President would havo vetoed the picture-taking". ' " No, It was evidently felt that the President had recovered sufficiently so that ho might bo snapshotted and the resulting photographs published. Tho first photographs after the ill ness, like tho first ride in nn auto mobile, would mark an important stage iu the recovery nud bo reassuring. But, the snapshot did its worst nt tho very time when a certain public reas surance roirnrdlni? the President is de sirable, and the worst of a snapshot is very uau inuceu. It will make tho most modest man, modest about his personal appearance, wonder, on looking nt it, how any woman was ever found to marry him. The dlyiue right of klugs could not have nnd Iu fact did not long survive tho snapshot. To bo n Caesar, a Napoleon, a Fred crick the Great, you had need of the flattering attentions of court paiutcrs. None of these men could ever have faced n battery of movie "camera men nnd newspaper photographers und gone through with the conqueror of the world business knowing that his faithful sub jects were seeing him nil over his realm, a little paunchy perhaps, blinking idiotically In a bad light. But now that the dally newspaper reporter and the snapshot have brought things to such a pass that the greatest war iu history has been fought without creating the legend of one great man, there is no reason why at times the snapshot should not bo discreetly edited. This was one of the times. q q i SUPPOSE Carpcutltr should defeat Dempsey. "Wouldn't that doVmore for FrSnce than FoI's beating of Hin denburg? After all, France bus always been n great miMtnry nation, as great on land ns England has becu on sea. She produced one Napoleon, against whom may be set, for Germany, Von Moltke, who appears, in the light of all that has happened since 1870. to have picked a rather soft spot iu history. But France has not produced yet a Sullivan, a Corbctt or.n Fltzsimmons. Aud the Anglo-Saxon, being numer ous and thinking rather well of himself, has succeeded in imposing his staudards upon the wcstcrn"Nvorld. If France would tnkc n leading place in the League of Nations she must knock out Dempsey: or if not Dempsey with Carpouticr, "then nt least one of Demnse.v's successors with a successor of Carpentier, , The French prize fighters uro quick on their feet, use their heads, and are clever with their fists, but they do not hit hard, they do, not puck a wallop iu cither mitt. For this reason we Anglo-Saxons are a trlfic condescending toward France. We think slic docs not pack n wallop in her poetry ; it is pretty, but it has not the Anglo-Saxon kick: in her prose, which we admit is fine, but lacking that long swing to the point of the jaw that our best English sentences have, nor, worst of all, industrially. But if Carpentier should upset Dempsey not only would Napoleon and Foch gain ucw respect but Mollerc and Hugo would begin to look up, and we should begin to think respectfully of tho industrial possibilities of the steel of Lorraine and the coal of the Saar basin. Tic franc would rise several cents iu value. I I I CHARLES DANA GIBSON has bought "Life." What is lie going to do with it? Ills is a" gruvc responsibility. Life is the most successful humorous weekly. Any one who ruus tne most success I ful publication of nuy sort has a grave I -nurtntmlltlllf responsibility Life set theastiTon of Amerieau hu mor for years, until American humor found a new expression in the strins und sporting page cartoons of the news papers. The man who edits tho most success ful magazine in tho country holds tho fate of its literature In his hands. His success makes every other editor imitate him. His high word rate makes every writer try to write for him. Similarly tho editor of the most suc cessful newspnper in the country sets the newspaper fashion. Other editors seek success by imitating him. I 1 q WHAT has happcucd to American humor? It used to be. not twenty years ago, our great American boast. Didn't wc all read lu our history books at school a triumphant reply to the taunt that once wns made, "Who reads au Amer ican book?" And wasn't thut reply sohicthiug to the effect that the greatest masters of the short story were American und that American humor was the greatest In tho world? Since then or since the writers of those history books got their informa tion Maupassant, Kipling aud Cheekhoff have made American short-story writers seem Insignificant and wc have stopped utterly feeling self-complacent about AimVicaii humor. Why? This is a subject worthy of Mr. Gib son's gravest consideration. Mr. Gibson's publication pays more for humor than any other publication in the world, unless it is the newspapers through their syndicates. Why havo wo stopped thinking of numou as tne great, uibtinctlvo well uigh exclusive possession of tho Ameri can people? Humor is a form of freedom. You cau say things in jest which n sort of permanent social ctplonugc act prevents your snyfug seriously Aro wc less free thun wo used to bo? Or huve wc ho much freedopi now that we are no longer forced to jest? Of have the humorous publications be come terribly serious themselves, with n mass of inhibitions all their own?
