LEASES REPUDIATED.
A Landlord on the Practical Working
Of the New Rent Laws.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The rent
laws recently passed are conspicuous Tor
their bias and their power TO create
strife. The following case illustrates
their effect:
During July, August ana September OF
this year twenty tenants living In an
apartment house signed leases with me
at an increase OF 20 per cent in their
rent Before signing those leases was
Obliged to agree In writing to do certain
renovating In their apartments. Believ-
ing the leases were signed in good faith
had the renovating done at an ex-
pense OF more than $1,000.
To-day when called for the rent the
tenants repudiated their leases as so
much scrap paper. claiming the new
Laws grant them immunity from living

In the meantime have contracted Tor

These tenants seemed quite decent

nassed. Then they were transformed.
They insuited the janitor. quiet Polish

leases they signed they look upon as

MIR. Wilson'S New Appeal for His
Dead Covenant.

Nothing could more cOmplerelN anu
at the same time more pathetically
illustrate Mr.. WILSON'S utter lsola-
ton from the American public than
his own message to that public in be-
half of his League of Nations
In his long and grave illness Mr.
WILSON has had no opportunity TO
come in contact with the American
people or to observe the trend of ma
tional opinion. In his close seclusion
from public leaders and public affairs
he has had no occasion 10 receive and
study reports from those who do know
what the American people are think
ing and saying and doing. He does
not comprehend, as TO the Solemn Ref
erendum for which he long ago ap-
pealed and now again appeals that
the American people already have
gone overwhelmingly and irrevocably
against his covenant. He does not
dream aught of this, although ii is
perfectly well known to every Demo-
cratic newspaper. every Democratic
leader, every Democratic manager and
every Democratic campalgner. Mr..
WILSON does not realize, then, that
when he denounces the ''impudent
audacity' of those who oppose his
covenant he unconsciously but indu-
bitably IS rebuking the nation.
&c 1rdnr thaSn cfr rpe,
and even sad circumstances to find
fault with Mr.. WILSON for so mis-
reading and misjudging the political
sentiment of his own country, at this
moment only four weeks from the
Presidential election. 1t is proper.
however, and ii Is relevant to consider
Mr.. WILSON'S reiterations as to the
purposes of his covenant. Mr.. VIII
son says:
Those who do not care to tell you
the Truth about the League OF Ma
tons tell you that Article x. of the
covenant OF the League would MAKE
II possible for other nations to lead
us into war whether we willed It by
our own Independent judgment or not
This II absolutely false"
Then, If the League covenant could
not drag us into war, why doesn't the
language of the covenant say so
plainly? Why didn't Mr.. WILSON,
with his Illuminating power of ex-
preston, with his unexceIled mastery
Of language, make the fact 50 clear in
the written words Of the covenant IL.
self that no American could mistake
It? Why didn't he make It's meaning
so unimpea enable that no American.
no European, no mind OF whatever
country or calibre, could possibly mis-
interpret and misunderstood It?
Mr.. WILSON again says:
Those who drew the covenant Of
the League were careful that IL should
contain nothing which interfered with
or impaired the right of Congress 70
declare war or not declare war sc-
cordins 20 Its own Independent judy
ment as our Constitution provides
Then, when the language Of the
covenant itself failed so to state, why
did Mr.. WILSON refuse to let the
United States Senate put the assur-
snce into the covenant through the
reservations which those Senate de-
tenders OF our nationalism and indie
pendence adopted? Why did he per-
init this omission TO kill his cherished
covenant2
But the melancholy fact is that Mr..
wu.sov is sick man and this &C
counts for his clinging 70 the dead
thing which he brought into being last
year.
