 But now when you come to rent protiteering, it might be we'll to como a little nearer home than the mayors neighbor on Maple street. To illus trate what I mean. let us take the case of the action of the charity board in the Schetleman case. Schetleman. it seems, was d boss at the Town Home, who for some reason or othc" incurred the displeasure of the powers that be. And, what was the result? His rent was boosted from SIS month to s100, an increase of about 63O per cent. Of course it is needless to say. MT. Schetleman found it necessary to find other quarters. Some rent prOtitccring, and especially from d board whose object is supposed to be felicitouS to the poor and needy! What about the increase in money rates and interest. MT. Mayor? What about the increased cost of labor and materials, that make up such a big item in the upkeep of d rented house? What about the decreased purchasing value of a dollar. which practically shows a depreciation in such value of 50 per cent?
 Ut might be well to ask the mayor what has become of the committee he was instrumental in appointing some time ago to investigate rent profiteer- ing. f Mayor Quigley's economics of faNoring higher taxation is favorable to the rent payers, then il might be advisable for such authorities on economics as Professor Irving Fisher of Yale university, to come to this city and begin all over. in the study of economics as advocated by Mayor Quigley.

The Ultimate Victim.

The exposures of corruption and graft made in
the course OF the investigation into the building
situation in New York going to affect three diff
ferent types Of people in three very distinct ways
There are those to whom the basic idea of the
organization OF labor is something verging So
ciallsm, to be put down with heavy hand. These
will see complete justification of their opinion in
the discovery that a labor leader has been extort
ing blackma, in instance of as much s. 900,
for permitting the men under his control to go on
with their work
There those who think that every organiza-
ton of producers, whatever its osensble purpose,
is maintained for the one end of spoilation and
profteering These will find corroboration of their
theory In the evidence that the contractors in
three of the building trades employed a lawyer,
without any expert knowledge of their business, to
receive and classify all bids for work that there
could be no real competition, and the builder
ploying them would be compelled to pay a, mo-
nopoly price for all work.
And finally there is that much larger class-thc
consuming public-which may be excused if it
n the records Of this investigation nothing but
conclusive proof that the methods Of monopoly are
being employed by both labor and the employers
Tor the general spoliation of the consumer. AS an
inevitable result, in those trades to the manage
ment of which the investigation has been directed
the cost OF service has so increased that people
and the insstence that the State shall make
amends, by artificial means, for the losses imposed
upon builders by the consprators in the building
trades.
To be explirnit:
New York State has enacted law, which may
be initiated in other communities, authorizing cities
to exempt from taxation for ten years all resi-
dences the construction of which is begun within
a specified period. Inevitably this will add to the
burden OF taxation upon the owners of existing
buildings. But the concession is made because the
people need houses, and the cost Of construction
has scared to point at which they cannot be
Prohtably built And why cannot they be built at
a profit? Largely because OF the extortions prac-
ticed by the combinations OF employers and con-
tractors and the leaders of organized labor.
In brief therefore home owners in New York are
to be taxed that the president of labor union
may get $4,000 graft for single job, and that
parasitical lawyer may take down several hundreds
OF thousands a year for his skill in keeping his
clients from bidding against each other that mo-
nopoy prices may be maintained.
How long is class three-the suffering consumer
going to stand for this sort Of spoliatiou2

A Disappointing Shipping Board.

The two nominees for the shipping board who
enjoyed most Of national reputation, Messrs
Theodore Marburg, Of Baltimore, and Gavin
AeNab, OF San Francisco, have declined their ap-
Pontments. One refuses the ground OF pressure
OF other business The other on the ground of
Ill health Neither knew anything in particular
about shipping, for that matter, does it appear
that many of the gentlemen selected for the
board possess any technical knowledge of the
great industry which, properly developed will
mean everything to the United States but which
at tins moment faces many grave obstacles to its
cxtenslon which only the shrewdest action can
remove.
Analysed according to their occupations, the
members OF the Shipping Board as chosen by the
President are six lawyers one lumberman, one
transportation Oand) expert, one hnancier, one
small-town editor one publicst, one insurance
man, one naval officer, and two steamship men
Among other qualifications may be mentioned the
TACT that the editor is shown by Chairman Whites
report to have contributed $500 to the Democratic
campaign fund, while Mr.. Marburg who is ap-
pomted as a Republican to comply with the law
giving that party representation the board, is
officially reported to have demonstrated his Repub-
hcanism by giving $500 to the Democratic fund
By hcrculean exertions, and the enormous ex-
pendture OF the peoples money, the United States
dufng the war raised from an utterly incon-
sphuous place among the maritime nations of the
earth to first place. In the task both of our sea-
boards were dotted with shipyards, and the in
dustry, which was languishing, became one of the
greatest in the land. The volume of our ship
building for time exceeded that OF Great Britain,
but IN the last SIX months, in new construction
we have dropped to second place. The proportions
OF the industry with which the Shipping Board has
to deal are indicated by the fact that it involves
not less than S3,ooo,oooooo OF invested capital
Shipping openly denouncing the policy
which gives them scanty representation on
the new board, and the general public cannot but
regard its personnel political rather than pro-
fessionally efficient. That has, in fact been the
curse Of the board since its inception Men
with technical knowledge of the shipping industry
have bad no place on its membership. At the
period OF its greatest activity the chosen for

Heralds Napoleon III
AS Friend of Workers

The friendly feeling of Napoleon
Ill for the toilers is dwelt upon by
Agnes Carey in her AN Empress in
Exile" in the Century Magazine,
and she gives as her authority the
Empress Eugene, wife of the last
of the emperors. Whatever his
failings toward her had beep," the
author says, she professed a warm
admiration Of his love of hard work.
his pluck and his great kindness of
heart and thoughtfulness for every
one. The emperor genuinely loved
the poor and humble among his sub
jects, with no thought of policy. He
was too good and generous for his
peoples understanding. Had he
been tyrannical and made use of
them and trampled them down like
some other sovereigns, they would
have behaved better toward him,
she (Eugenie) said.
Napoleon was a dreamer, and
spent much of his time to the seri-
Gus thinking out of schemes for the
benefit of his people and all man
kind. His life's ambition was to
better their lot. He had great mag
netism, especially with the working
classes. The empress charmed ev-
cry stranger but the emperor was
really more personally and deeply
loved by his encourage than was his
consort."

Cox Clarifies the Issue.

7 IS iRir to say for Gov. Cox that his visit TO
4 New York, so far as his public appearance on
tie platform was concerned, was all to his
credit His speech distinctly of higher type
than those which he has been delivering throughout
the country, and his treatment of the heckers in
the audience tolerant and dgnihed. 1t seems
to have been one OF the infrequent occasions
on which the Democratic nominee has successfully
met the common criticism that he is not Of
Presidential caliber"
lie has, however, still further obscured the
league issue by his declaration of a willingness
to accept reservation stating explicitly that the
United States assumes no obligation to use its
military naval forces to defend or assist any
other member Of the league unless approved and
authorized by Congress in each case"
This is a knife thrust straight at what President
Wilson has called ~the heart of the league" 1t is
a reservation even stronger than the with which
Senator Lodge upset the Wilson program, and
became thereby to the mind OF Gov Cox "the
greatest Consprator of all the ages"
This declaration the part Of the Democratic
candidate can only be embarrassing to those life
long Republicans" whose names are given out at
Democratic headquarters as new converts to Cox.
Fog they all have based their conversion on the
theory that the Democratic nominee stood alone
in pledged devotion to the Wilson covenant in
its pristine form, just as it came from the hands
to those forces that have held that the covenant
went too far in pledging the armed support of
the nation to the defence of all existing European
boundaries, can only be regarded as high treason
to those who cling to the infallibility Of the
covenant it is written.
The White House maintains sombre silence
the subject But it is impossible that the
President should not see that by this utterance
Gov. Cox places himself on virtually the same
ground with respect to the league as that oc-
Cuped by Senator Harding.
Both admit the existence Of much that is good
in the plan OF the league as formulated by Presi-
dent Wilson. =
Both agree that changes in it required.
Neither follows the President in his insistence
that Article is the heart OF the league" On the
contrary both admit the necessity OF material
amendment OF the article and express their pur-
pose OF securing such amendment.
Both have announced-Gov Cox in language
little more colloquial than that Of his rival-ther
purpose OF calling in everybody who can advise,
or will have influence upon the league for frank
and full discussion as to amendments
IN brleI II appears to that by his New York
speech Gov Cox put himself practically where
the Republican nominee has been from the start
Possibly this is fortunate, for it will enable the
election to turn frankly as it was certain to turn

New Invention Sends
Photographs by Wire

Edouard Belin, a French scientist,
has invented an apparatus that will
transmit by telephone a photograph.
design or signature. 1t is said the
device will be of great value in
transmitting pictures of criminals
within a few minutes of a crime,
in sending signatures to check up
in the issuing Of large checks or
government documents and in large
business transactions. The instru-
ment can be attached to any tele-
phone. Both the French and Italian
governments have ordered them in
stalled for governmental use.
The principle on which the de-
vice works is explained by Belin
as follows:
The sender gets his ordinary
telephone communication. Then he
hooks his apparatus onto the tele-
phone. The sending cylinder is re-
volved (before the telephone trans
mitter) and at the receiving post
the variations of current are trans
ferred by a delicate galvanometer
onto a mirror upon which fall pow
erful pencils of light. These pen
ellis, reflected upon a negative paper
unrolhns on an axis, become strong
er or softer according to the in
tensity of the current transmitted: /:

the photograph being sent from the
other end of the wire"

ing of national marine policy will have to go

A change of party control will probably mean a
change in the shipping law and the legislating Of

that prospect the outlook for the extension of the

Alaska Great Source
Of Fox and Bear Furs

Alaska produces a large variety
of beautiful and valuable furs upon
land" says Andrew J. Stone in the
Century Magazine. 1T has thirteen
varieties of bears, six species of fox
black, blue, cross, red, silver and
white; and all common land furs.
The skins of its foxes are of the
highest quality. and are larger than
those produced in any other couu-
try. The Alaska moose is the larg-
est land animal found on the West
ern Hemisphere. The meat is as
choice as the best of beef, and the
skin makes excellent footwear, and
is much worn during the winter
months.
The caribou, like the reindeer.
lives almost exclusively upon mos
ses, and inhabits nearly all parts OF
the country except the southern
coast country. They are found in
large herds and supply man with
millions of pounds of meat and ex-
cellent footwear. and are much
valued for winter clothing and
robes.

Japs Climb Mt. Fuji
As Arabs Visit Mecca

One Of the most important things
in the life of a japanese is the op-
portunlty given him to make a
pilgrimage to the top of Mount
Full, 1866 feet above the surface
OF the sea. Lady Parkes, the wife
of the British minister, was the
first foreign woman to set foot on
the top of the mountain. This was
in October, 1857. At that time there
was not one mile of railroad in
Japan.
Written descriptions of the beauty
of Full are as numerous in Japanese
and in English as are the pictures
Of it. Quaint Japanese-E English YER
sions are frequent in the guide
books and advertisements. Here is
the way one Oriental sought to pic
ture the beauties of Full in a Ian
guage beyond him: Whenever we
visit the place, the first pleasure to
be longed is the view Of Fuji Noun
tain and its summit is covered with
permanent undissolving snow, and
its regular configuration hanging
down the sky like an opened white
fan, may be looked long at equal
shape from several regions sur
rounding 1t. Everyone who saw it
ever has nothing but applause. 1t

rection on still CLASSY face of lake"

The Outlook for Prosperity.

The bigger man is in finance or politics the
certain he is to look with calm confidence
upon the continued progress and prosperity OF the
United States.
1t was J. Pierpont Morgan who said that man
fool to be a bear on the prospects OF the
United States. And comes Judge Gary, head
of the Steel Trust and a man whose attention is
always nelligenty centered on business conditions
here, saying:
"If there should be serious reaction and busi-
ness depression, which seems improbable it
will be the fault Of those who are connected with
business operations, others who by reason OF
official positions improperly interfere and not be-
OF any fundamental deficiencies in our re-
sources and opportunities"
All natural conditions support Judge Cary's fore
cast. There was never much money in the
banks available for investment More than FIVE
years of unexampled prosperity have left the people
as whole in condition stand the inevitable re-
adjustment OF prices which follow such a
period OF imitation entaed by the war. If
there have been those who saw in the flush times
nothing except opportunity to reve in luxuries
hitherto unattainable and who therefore approach
the period of readjustment without savings and
with newly acquired habits Of extravaganza thew
are the lesser part OF population. In the main
as the report OF the Comptroller of the Currency
shows, there has been steady saving and wide
spread thrift, and should conditions compel period
of retrenchment and economy most of our people
are in position to stand it.
When look abroad upon the condition of
every nation associated with us, or our enemies
in the recent war of the United States should
be ashamed to look upon the future with any save
eyes of calm and assured confidence
