THE PROBLEM OF CHEAP RENTS

THE PROBLEM OF CHEAP RENTS.
(Winona, Mimi, Republic-Herald.)
The man who reads many newspa-
pers finds frequent items headed
Houses Scarce" or More Tenements
Needed" There are many towns
where the lack of houses for working
people is a real problem. 1t oftens
checks town growth.
This has resulted from increased
building costs. Materials cost % to
so per cent more than 10 years ago.
Carpenters, masOns, plumbers, and
painters are better paid. Capitalists
say there is no profit in putting up
houses for rent.
OF course there are often old houses
lacking modern conVeniences that can
be had cheaply enough. But it is con-
stantly getting harder to rent places
without getting modern plumbing and
the like. People will not go into
dirty and insanitary neighbOrhOOds.
Some social workers have become
convinced that in towns of much size
the working people must expect to
live in blocks of houses all Joined to-
gether. This gives light only at front
and back 1t seems to take away
from the hOmelike character or a
neighborhood and the individual home
is more apt to develop feeling Of
ownership ana prize IN the appear
ance of the property.
AS building costs increase, the gen.
eral result is that people live in small
er space, or go out farther into the
outskirts. The working man Of today
commonly lives in much smaller quar-
tiers than were occupied by his father
on the old farm. In large cities peo-
pie manage to adjust themselves to a
cramped tenement apartment house
life. There is commonly a total lack
of the room required to swing the ira
ditional cat.
If people will learn to live with less
furniture, with few bulky belongings.
and pursue the simple life, they can
be happy in small quarters. Much
can be said for the old fashioned
love in a cottage" philosophy, only
il seems to be only one floor in the
cottage for a good many. But it is
largely a matter Of style and exam
pie One does not feel so cramped, il
all the neighbOrs and ones friends
live the same way. The hard working
have more room than the fashiOnables
people in moderate sized places may

The boom in our Latin-American
commerce which was prophesied
when the war started is at last under
way. Government reports show that
in the month of September our trade
with the South American countries
was doubled in comparison with the
same months business last year. From
now on it should continue growing
steadily, as the commercial develop
ment work done by our exporting
firms in the past year begins to make
itself felt.

THERE'S POETRY AND POETRY

IN NJ lSSlSSlppl man murdered an
other in, as witnesses declared, cold
blood. He was in Jail awaiting trial.
A 16-year-old school girl wrote a
poem which a local newspaper pub
Hshed. 1t contained this prayer in
one stanza:
And he who severed the golden
chain,
Who wrapped home in
mourning,
May Goa will that he know the
OF summons without warn
ing"
The poem caught the eye, held the
fancy. 1t was read on the street cor
ners in the homes and even in places
Of business; by individuals. by knots
of lOw-voiced men. Forty-eight hours
after the poem appeared in print. the
Jail was stormed and the murderer
lynched. The appeal had proved ir-
resisible, the prayer had been an
swered.
We pass over the ethics of it. What
fixes the interest is the peculiar appeal
Of poetry TO the emotions. Quite like
ly the same words in prose would
have attracted comparatively little at
tention. The country we'll remembers
the jingle. published in a New York
paper at the time of the Goebel trial,
which many claimed was directly re-
sponsible for the assassination of
Priest Mckinley. The potency of
rhyme had penetrated the crazed
mind OF an assassin.
In both these cases it was an in
fuence for evil Fortunately such
cases are rare. for poetry should in

that the idea behind it has become

in a way the hne-tooth comb of civic
righteousness and philanthropy, since

cluded individual who may wish TO, or
should, be a factor in the relief Of

THE principle upon which the cam
paign OF the week operates is mutual
lty; that is TO say, we Of the commun-
ity are mutually dependent, interde-
pendent, as IL were, and we have a
common interest, a common end and
a common responsibility.
IF there are needy people in South
Bend they are not so from choice.
They are victims Of circumstances,
and these circumstances must arise
largely from our faulty social, COM
mercial and industrial systems. What
we are mutually responsible for we
should mutually mend.
WE who are not victims of these
faulty systems this year, may be next
year. The moral is obvious.
