NEW YORK'S RENT SYSTEM.

correct the plunderbund OF rent prohteer-
inu have. according to accounts, accom-
nlished wonders in the way of bringing
down the prohteer Coons IN the hrici time
tho statutes ha We been operative. Inc New
York courts were crowded every day last
week with cases brought by tenants
threatened with eviction because they had
demurrcd about paying rent boosts. Inc
courts handled the cases fast, limiting rent
raises to 25 per cent increases on rates as
az Anril 1919. Few landlords took ap-
peals from decisions nearly all of tnem
scarne down grudgngly but definitely !.
II il quite apparent IN 90 per cent. of
the ront boost cases that have come oe-
fore the courts. under tho new regllative
statutes, that the sympathies OF the court
are strongly with the tenants. For TINS
there is the plain reason that rents IN New
York have in many instances been boosted
then lifted again and in instances raised q
third time. all within the year since April
1910. One thing about the new regulative
statutes is that they have been so en-
pertlv framed that there is no ambiguity
about them-they are easy to apply. he

FRESS COMMENTS.
ISOLATION AND ARMAMENTs.

The people arc supposed to be clamor-
ing for n reduction in government eS-
penditurcs and lower taxes, and their
wishes are reflected in the speeches of the
men seeking the Presidency. Yet the
Senate has Just voted x465 5,W0,OOo Tor
naval purposes. The amount il none too
large If this country is to continue TO
oecupy its present detached and Isolated
position. and to be practically the only
nation outside of the League OF Nations.
This is matter that, one would think,
should be Of great interest to the tas-
pavers. But it is not simply n question oi
what Americans will have to pay, but also
of the effect on them of the revival OF the
old system. If we arm heavily Europe VIII
he bound 10 do so too, TO the best oi her
ability. The result will be TO delay. the
restoration of normal conditions, TO keep
the people poor. to withdraw men from
productive industry, and to make certain
another war. Our trade will suffer. our
business be crippled. and the revolutionary
forces everywhere will be strengthened.
In the League Covenant 1t Is recoe-
nized that the maintenance oi peace
requires the reduction of national arma-
ments to the lowest point consistent with
national safety and the enforcement by

Hopes of the police that the arrest Saturday night of Archie Jackson, ne gro, who confessed to the robbery of a number of Pine Bluff homes dur Ing the past two weeks, would bring ar end to the hurglaries here were shattered yesterday morning when they learned that someone had enter ed the clothing store of Ed Levine and Company, 226 Main street Sunday night and took away several suits of clothes and quantity of silk shirts and ties.
 The burglar first entered the Froug store, getting in by prying loose a heavy galvanized iron shutter from a rear window and pushing the bars apart. Nothing in the Froug store was taken, and it is evident that the burglar had entered the wrong build ing, for he lowered himself to a low CT portion of the roof and entered the Levine store, taking several hun dred dollars worth of merchandise.
 Police last night were working on the case, and believe they will take the thief by today.
