RENT AND PROFlTEERlNG

Is dltficult to appreciate the dstinc-
tlon which the secretary Of the Hou,-
ing Association makes between landlords
who are protiteering and those who are
not. The association is planning cam.
paign against landlords who have raised
rents by forcing them to put their houses
in sanitary condition. 1t seem, to be
admitted that there are many houses
whose owners have ignored tn. sanitary
laws.
A landlord who raises the rent bovond
a reasonable figure is prohtecr bcyond
question. But what name must be an
piled to the landlord who gets for an
insanitary house the amount of rent
which the house would be worth if it
were in proper sanitary condition? Is
not he also profiteer, and profiteer Of
the worst kind? He makes money at

RAISE THIS SALARY!

DR. GEORGE D. STRAYER, Of the
- teachers college of Columbia Univer-
sty, is the kind of man that should be
appointed as superintendent Of public in
struction for this state
He is Pennsylvania by birth. He
attended Bucknell University, in this
state. He has devoted his life to teach
ing and to the study of educational meth
DDS. He is recognized by school men
throughout the country as one of the
best qualified educational experts this
generation has produced. He is the type
of man this newspaper had in mind when,
after the death of Superintendent Schaef-
fer, it discussed the importance of secur-
ing as his successor man fitted to carry
on the work on the foundations laid by
the man who had just died.
But the state cannot command the
services of man like Doctor Strayer
unless it pays him salary fitted to the
responsibilities which he is supposed to
bear. The salary Of the superintendent
OF public instruction in Pennsylvania is
$4,000 year. New York pays its super
intendent--he is known as the commits
sioner of education--$l00 and New
Jersey, with only one-third of the popu-
lation of Pennsylvania, pays its commits
sioner of education the same amount.
Unless the Legislature increases the
salary of the superintendent of public in
struction it viii be impossible for Gov
ernor Sproul to persuade any first-class
mar to accept the position. Five thou
sand dollars was living salary twenty
i Years ago. Today it does not buy any
3Ne than $500 would buy when Doctor
1e41 y was Arpointed. The city Of

Cleveland, which paid its superintendent
of schools $4,000 until two years ago, dis
covered as a result of its school survey
that it could not command the services
of the kind of an expert which it wished
unless it paid him more 1t raised the
salary to $4,000 and secured a capable
man, who had been getting $4,000 in
small New England city.
Whether Doctor Strayer is ultimately
appointed or not, it is not likely that the
Governor will name any one until he has
used all his influence with the Legisla-
turc to induce it to increase the salary of
the office to at least $4,000.

JOY WITHOUT ALCOHOL

THE question of what will succeed the
l. saloon as a social center when the pro-
hibition amendment becomes operative
receives a very practical answer in the
ideals and methods of the Old Saint
Paul's Club, which last evening crowned
its years good work with the impressive
annual ceremony of comforting emblems
of perseverance in abstinence from in
toXicantS.
The gold medal for five years clear
record was conferred on six members
and other insignia, ranging from the blue
button for years faithfulness to the
silver for four years persistence, re-
warded a still larger number.
The club is not a prohibition society
nor an "uplift" organization in the usual
sense of the term. 1t is selfsustaining
association of men with a common pur-
pose for the encouragement of sobrlety.
Unlike some temperance institutions, it
is not scrap heap but repair shop,
with the understood mission of helping
men addicted to the liquor habit to play
a large, even the essential, part in their
own redemption from temptation. Cos
peling," card-indexing of eases and
devices that provoke resentment are alien
to its purposes. It's method is that of
personal encouragement leading to indi-
vidual discipline and responsibility,
operating through the effective mass
morale of a group based on community
Of interest in se2f-help and helping
others.
The Old Saint Paul's Club over nearly
a decade, has proved to thousands of men
that they can enjoy sociability in con-
genial environment with helpful asso-
ciates without the Fictitious cheer of
alcohol and that while enjoying good fel-
lowship they can become rich in self
respect. The proof is that its members
clcave closely to the club over the years
and seldom fall away to the fancied fasci-
nations of the saloon.

eliminated in the war of wars The men
who are willing to face this appalling
alternative are the old world politicians
at the Paris conference, who are willing
to sacrifice all the hopes of mankind to
insure to themselves, their parties and
their friends a few years of additional
power. We have manifested our sense
of brotherhood with the Allied peo-
pies. Yet this does not mean that we
shall be compelled to share in the blind
and disastrous schemes of the politicians
who misrepresent them. 1t would be bet
ter for the world to let revolutions sweep
out the governments of Europe, if by that
means the future world can be spared the
menace of new coalitions led by men who
in the past have shown themselves to be
hopelessly predatory. Fire is at least
cleansing
If the Peace Conference has shown
anything, it has shown that process of
delousing cannot be inauguratcd too soon
in some of the European chancelleries.
The people of the United States would
properly regard the failure of the Ameri
can policies at Paris as a disaster. If
there can be no league of nations, we shall
have to face dismal outlook All the
future will be clouded with uncertainty.
There will be new wars in Europe. Our
losses, hopes and sacrifices will be in
vain.
We may be driven to continued isola-
ton and career of military preparation
almost as costly as war itself. Yet
all this would be preferable to our CO.
operation with other nations in system
of reasoning that made war after war
and catastrophe after catastrophe newt
able to all nations that have ever prac-
ticed il.
We are invited now to join in the pre-
else sort of entangling alliances that all
the founders of American government
warned against. And to all those abroad
or at home who urge that sort of thing
there ought to be only one answer. We
ought to tell them what the American
commander of the Lost Battalion" told
