was not even checked by the imperial
order of Oct ., 1858 which affected
Griy the right of holding property but
not of residence. The census of 1850
showed 1860 Jews. The need of an
other synagog was evident. In spite
of the order of 1858 the minister
Count Thun, "a clerical OF the blackest
type, gave permission to build new
synagog in 1854, and even the old re-
striction that thc building should not

was built outside of the old City in
the district where the old ghetto was

not exactly on the same spot. 1t was
dedicated June 10. 1858 and became
one of the landmarks of the city, being
considered a model of beautiful Moor

served-as the Birmingham writer
notes. Let any one, alien or ma
tive, overstep the bounds of conven-
tional approach, and courtesy ends
abruptly. "The stony British stare"
exists as part Of the conventional
apparatus of English manners and
is not pretty thing.
Both Englishmen and Americans
might try to comprehend that other
standards of courtesy than their
own exist and that the merit lies
not altogether on either side. A
large part Of the friction between
cousins and others proceeds directly
from such Misunderstanding and
partial truths such as those uttered
by this visitor from Birmingham.

Shifting

Washington S coolncss toward the
Hoover candidacy suggests that Mr..
Hoover will scarcely be nominated if
the decision is left to the seasoned
politicians. The presence of his hat
in the ring is seemingly regarded as
intrusive. He is rated as an out
slider, and the most conservative Of
professions shifts suspiciously.
The Wood candidacy in its earlier
stages encountered a similar hos
tility. In December, when the Re-
publican National Committee met,
the atmosphere was noticeably chilly.
What was wanted, it was said, was
Congressional President-one who
would not come to the Capitol with
program to be jammed through.
Signs went up for a return of Nc
Kinley days, when things we're COM
Portable. SO Senatorial and favorite-
son candidates were launched to
head the general off.
But the thought of General Wood
has become more familiar. He seems
less of stranger. He is now almost
taken into fellowship. Mr.. Hoover
is the newcomer whose candidacy is
rasped with belittlements and sneers.
In view of the fact that the con-
venton is but ten weeks distant, Mr..
Hoover hardly will be able to qualify
as orthodox. Nor does he seem to
have a disposition to try. If nom-
mated it will be because Of a public
demand, or because of sober con-
cluson that his selection would make
a favorable result surer in No
vember.
A couple of months is a short time
in which to develop an organization,
and Republican prospects are SO
good that there is a disposition to
regard Mr.. Hoover's admitted vote
getting abilities as superfluous.

Hard Times in the Army

Sir: I saw in your columns a let

wife about the insufficient pay of army
and navy officers. AS the wife of a
captain in the army I would like to
have my little say, too.
There are two arguments that | think
will prove to you that the present pay
is ridiculously inadequate in the army
The first Is that our regimental ser
examinations for commission because,
he says, with his enlisted mans per-
Quisites he makes a living wage and
has more real money than he would
have as a second lieutenant Is trained
intelligence TO be cheap by the side Of
trained muscle or, at least, of inteli-
gencc calling for much less training .
Arc second leutenants TO tear off their
shoulder bars for sergeant's stripes :?
The second argument is that al
though am the daughter OF the ed
ltor of small city newspaper, and one
Of five have to ask my father to exc
out what my husband can afford to
give me from his pay. My husband
is now on the recruit "drvc' and the
government pays him seven cents for
each mile Travelled. from Which he must
meet his expenses hotel, meals, etc.
His mileage is about sixty week, or

tntocs and cordwood will be forgotten

The New Housing Laws

Hasty summaries Of the housing
bills have created some wrong i'm
pressions about their scope and pur-
pose. They are not in themselves
rent-fixing measures. They do not
fix all rents absolutely or even rela-
lively. Their main object is to pro-
tcct tenants from dispossession
through oppressive rent increases
Only tenants in possession are af-
fected. There seems no restriction
on the landlords freedom of contract
with a new tenant.
The Legislature seeks to stabilize
housing conditions for the period
during which the present shortage
Of habitations promises to remain
acute. There are not enough dwell
ling houses, apartments, flats, ETC., to
go around. If the law Of supply and
demand we're allowed to operate
freely an enormous shifting of ten
ants would create disorder, suffer-
ing and grave public Inconvenience
The housing laws thus enoeavor to
limit to minimum the renting turn
over.
The relations between landlords
and tenants, so far as they are af-
fected by statute, are, therefore,
modified in such manner as to Sc
cure greater permanency Of occupa-
tior. If the tenant elects to stay
on he cannot be elected summarily
because he refuses to pay an oppres-
sive increase in rent. He is pro-
tccted from dispossesson, and the
reasonableness Of the increase dc
mandcd Of him is to be passed on bv
the courts.
It is evidently an error TO hold, as
many Albany commentators do, that
rent increases have been limited to
p per cent year" The landlord
can assess any increase he plcases.
But the tenant may resist the in
crease IN the courts, meantime re
tainlng possession and paying the
current rate. He must, apparently,
assume the burden Of proving that
any increase over the 1919 figure, up
to q per cert, is unreasonable and
oppressive. IF the increase is more
than % per cont the burden Of proof
shifts 20 the landlord But the
court retains discretion to hold the
rent far or unfair, whether it cx-
cceds % per cent or not.
The procedure affected by the
"fair rent" bin is that for the re-
covery Of rent. Another bill, deal
lnE with summary proceedings, de
nics the landlord writ if the rent
~ greater than the rent for the pre-
ceding month, or has been raised, in
case III a one-year lease, more than
25 per cent in the year preceding.

This Question of Politeness

The ticklish international question
as to who is polite and who is not
does not seem to have worried this
Englishman from Birmingham who
writes his impressions of "Our
Yankee Cousins" for his home
paper:
what a treat 1t Is to get back
TO country where one is not
hustled, jostled or elbowed out Of
the way, and to feel once more the
charm Of polite civilization! AL
though I have been back in England
four days, | still look up in sur
prise when some one says. Excuse
me- or Beg pardon, sir Such
phrases seldom find a home in the
United States, and although have
spent four months in that country,
travelling from East to West and
West to East in twenty-four out Of
the forty eight states, cannot say
that the Americans are, as a rule,
conspicuous by their courtesy or
their good manners.'
The worst part Of this criticism
IS the lack of discrimination. 1t ig
norcs the very genuine courtesy that
often exists beneath American haste
and abruptncss and it ignores the
unfortunate limits of British good
manners, which are admirable as far
as their conventions permit, but do
not, from the American point of
view, go as far as they might.
AS matter of fact, neither
America nor England has much
right to boast of poitcness so far
as external good manners arc con-
ccrncd. A French peasant boy of
twelve viii stand up in field in
Tourainc and talk with dignity
and courtesy that the rest of us will
still be pursuing generations hence.
The best thing that can be said
OF American manners is that they
arc not so bad as they might be.
On the other hand, looking beneath
the manners to the essentials of
kindness. gentlcncss and courtesy,
VIC think far better report could
be made by any impartial observer.
Fricndlincss and hospitality arc still
virtues, preserved from primitive,
pioneer days, and we think any open
minded foreigner vii! agree to this
assertion.

writes:
Il propose that W, shall found and
endow weekly publication of truth
telling, to be known as The National
News The publication will carry no
advertisements and no editorials. 1t
will not be journal of opinion. but a
record of events pure and simple 1t
will be published on ordinary news
print paper, in the cheapest possible
form. 1t will have one purpose and
one only, to give to the American
people once every week the truth about
the worlds events. 1t will be strictly
and absolutely non-partisan, and never
the propaganda organ of any cause. 1t
will watch the country and see what
lies are being circulated and truth sup
pressed; its job will be to nail the lies
and bring the truth into the light Of
day. l believe that sufficient number
Of Americans are awake to the dis
honesty Of our press to BUILD up for
such paper circulation of million
inside Of a year
Let me say at the outset that am
not looking for job. I have my work,
and it isn't editing a newspaper; nor
do judge myself capable of that rigid
impartiality which such an enterprise
would require. 1t is my idea that the
control of the paper should be vested
in a board Of directors, composed of
twenty or thirty men and women of all
creeds and causes, who have proved by
their lifetime records that they be-
lieve in fair play. By way Of illustra-
ton, will indicate my idea of such a
board: Allan Benson, Alice Stone

Pious Wishes

In its Turkish note the State De
partment expresses two pious wishes
in which American sentiment con-
ours. Americans generally would
like to see the Turk elected from
Constantinople and exiled. from Eu-
rope forever. They also favor the
establishment Of an Armenian state,
with liberal recognition of the terri
torial claims put forward by the
remnant of the Armenian people.
The United States could have put
itself in position to realize these
two projects if it had had the fore
sight to declare war on Turkey in
1917. The President, however, pre-
vented Congress from declaring war
either on Turkey or on Bulgaria. He
chose to shut this country out of
legitimate participation in the Turk
ish and Bulgarian settlements.
AT Paris he realized his mistake.
Though an outsider, the United
States helped to make a treaty of
peace with Bulgaria, but this
treaty" has evidently come to be
considered a legal nulity. 1t has
not been submitted to the Senate.
Now the Administration has
shifted its ground again and de-
clines to be principal in the negoti-
alton of a treaty of peace with
Turkey. But if we are neither en-
titled to be principal nor willing
to become one, by what reasoning
can the pious wishes Of the United
States be- expected to control in the
Turkish settlement? The powers
which conquered Bulgaria were put
to great inconvenience by certain
demands of the American peace
commissioners which seemed to
them unduly favorable to Bulgaria.
Our suggestions with regard to
Turkey are certainly not favorable
to the Turks. But the same en-
harrassing situation results. AS a
non-belligerent, we are put in the
attitude Of making claims which the
belligerents have no reason for
recognizing except as a matter of
courtesy or eXpediency.
Toward Turkey and Bulgaria we
deliberately chose the role of non
combatant. That role imposes on the
State Department an awkward re-
straint, which was not shown in the
case Of Bulgaria, but which is now
being manifested more Enthusiastically
in the Turkish correspondence.
We can ask favors and use moral
pressure to advance what we con-
slider rational program in dealing
with Turkey. But so far as any
thing else is concerned we have
tied our own hands.
