INDEPENDENT MINoRITIES.

kHACHlNE victory in the primaries yesterday was
lVl foregone conclusion.
None Of the candidates opposing the states of fav-
ortes had been able to catch the public fancy or to
monopolze popular issue.
General Apathy niled the ballot boxes
In spite of this, the anti-machine vote for Mayor
I.unn, Mrs. Boole and State Senator Thompson is
gratifying testimony that the Primary Law is not
dead, that the bosses have not complete strangle-
hold on the members of the parties.
Substantial mnorities are fair warning to The
bosses Engineers OF the party machines may read
in these minority votes the warning that when they
designate" they must choose candidates who are
at least tolerable Any widespread dSapproval OF
TIE machine candidate would bring out more votes
Republican strength was more evident than Dem
ocratis because the Republicans had two contests on
major offices, the Democrats only one.
Senator WadsworthS candidacy accounted for
many of the Republican votes. Support of the conf
paratively unknown Mrs. Booe was largely anti
Wadsworth rather than pro-Boole.
Women who oppose Senator WadSworth because
he is misrepresentation and reactionary are apt
to carry over this opposition to the regular election.
There is strong probability that Senator WadSworth
will run behind his ticket and prove decided handi
cap to the Republican organization.
As for the other party schisms revealed in the vote
yesterday, il is probable that they will die out or
nehrqize each other before Election Day.

THE SOFTEST SNAP is THE HARDEST LUCK.
Don't look for soft snap. If you find you in one,

he stands much chance get along without working
If you've been around office you know what
becomes of the chaps who hold soft snaps They
right where they while other who have work go
ahead of them.
Rich mems who succeed do in spite of their
wealth, not because of it, And there far smaller per-
centage of them who amount to anything than there of
poor mems
Go the list of the Presidents United States
and will find that not of them had soft snap
in his youth
They got where they because they had to work
hard when they boys and the habit of hard work
in after years
An a leg injured that it be used soon

But the with soft snap will get anywhere

And a who does not make his living bv his own

AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE.

IN FIVE of the six special elections for Assembly,
] men to be held tomorrow the issue does not
turn on the social and political programme of the
Socialist Party.
If this programme were the issue, The Evening
World would counsel opposition to Socialist candi-
dates.
4, An issue vastly more important and fundamental
confronts the voters.
That issue is the protection of democratic and
representative government against false or Short
sighted friends and secret enemies
Because this is the ISSUE the Democratic and Re-
publican organizations deserve no credit for present
ing slate of fusion candidates The fusion cand
dates should be defeated The Socialist candidates
should be elected as a matter of principle
The Socialists deserve the support of every Amer
ican who believes that representative government
IS better than ogarchy, who believes that our sys-
lem of government is strong enough to vindicate
itself and the principles on which il was founded.
Grant the ousted Socialists are undesirable repre-
sentativeS-uDdesrable citizens even. The fact re-
mains, they were ousted from their seats in defiance
Of the principle that voters have the right to choose
representatives even though some other agency
might choose more wisely.

AN OMINOUS DATE.

| NCT. next looms as an ominous date in the
~ lives of thousands of tenants in this city.
1t will prove more ominous still unless the Legs-
lature which meets in special session Sept 20 to
consider the housing situation, realizes that it has
just TEN DAYS in which to deal with the emer-
gency side of the housing problem for the relief of
hard-pressed rent-payerS.
1t is true that is not the only side of the problem
It is true the question how capital can be induced
to undertake new building and so provide the ult-
mate economic solution cannot be neglected.
But it is also true that oppressed and suffering
tenants are entitled to first aid.
Forty thousand dispossess cases are now pending
in New York City.
No one can say how many hundred thousand
more may be added to the list unless some fairer,
surer standard for adjusting the conflicting claims of
tenants and rent-raSing landlords is established be-
fore Oct. I.
The question of leases rent increases and dspossess
powers should have the immediate practical atten-
ton Of the Legislature in order that injustice may
be minimized NOW, before it involves rent-paying
victims in new tolls.
The confusion certain to be produced by yet
further multiplication of homeless families, home
changing families and families threatened with the
loss of their homes means something more than
trouble for the persons concerned.
1t means profound disturbance of the whole COM
munity
1t means that families who do not know where
their children can go to school, families whose
church ties are severed families deprived of social
environment or social centres will exert an increaS
ingly disruptive, dsorganizing influence the results
of which must be serious.
Such disturbance is bound to react against civic
order and progress. Its bad effect upon public
health and morals has already been pointed out
This consideration alone-if the plight of the
harassed homeless themselves made no appeal
ought to be argument enough for prompt legislative
dealing with the emergency end of the problem.
Gov. Smith should see to it that the special ses-
sion of the Legislature realizes its FIRST AND
MOST IMPERATIVE BUSINESS is RELIEF.
Economic remedies in due course.
But first of ALL protection and relief for tenants

KEEPING THEIR JOBS.

EMPLO OYMENT agencies of Chicago report that
L business is dull and that they are placing only
about one-ffth as many men as they did year ago.
Reports from other employment centres would
probably show similar conditions.
There is bright side to this as well as dark
side.
Numbers of men working and numbers of men
unemployed would be better barometers of the in
duStrial situation
Without doubt one of the reasons for the Iessened
demand for new workers indicated by employment
exchange figures is the decreased Tabor turnover"
A year ago men were drifting from job to job,
searching for higher pay and leaving the jobs before
they became efficient producers. AS competition
for labor becomes less intense, the workers have
less incentive to wander from job to job They stay
on the job long enough to become efficient and
worth the pay they receive.

No the Editor of The Evening World;
Concerning the benefits the tenant
derives from the -profiteering
laws to curb rent raising, permit me
to cite the following case:
A woman, compelled TO vacate the
rooms she occupied in back of the
store owned by her husband, due to
his death and the sale of the store,
moved into a flat for which she was
to pay $48 a month. Learning later
that the former tenant had paid $26
in May, 1920, and had been raised to
$S6 in July, she refused to pay S4S in
September (having lived part of Aug
ust in the flat and having paid at the
rate of $4S "A month) to pay
a raise OF 81 per cent. in four months
a case OF rank proflteering.
Offering S36 for the month, which
was refused, she was served with q
dispossess.
Armed with an affidavit from the
former tenant testifying to the truth
OF her claims as TO the outrageous
profiteering, she appeared in court
Tuesday, Sept, 7. There short work
was made of her case, Without a
glance at the proffered affidavit, the
fudge gave her a months time to get
