AS aWOman Thinks
BY EDITH e. MoRlART~,
How SOME PRoFlTEERs ARE
MADE.

mNOE'
The question of rents seems to be>
sSSitting everybody. The word profiteer
is on everyones LIPS and those people,
If there are any such fortunate ones,
who have not had their rent increased
20 to 100 per cent, are really quite
out Of things when it comes to joining
in the conversation. Profiteerng In
rents seems to be contagious disease
or,epidenlic or plague, for landlords are
raising rents here and there where
rents have never been raised before,
.. People are whispering it about that
\ this landlord is foolish to let this or
that apartment so cheaply and sud
denly he hears it and begins 70 think
the same thing, and -. the next morn
ing the poor tenants get letter that
their rent will be raised the first of
the month. This very thing has hap
pened more than once.
Two women were talking recently
about their property and they would
have been highly indignant had anyone
called either of them profiteers, but
they surely belonged to no other class.
Il raised the rent of that young cou-
pie who live in my house SIS month";
said the younger woman. Il really
did not need to, for they were paying
ample rent, but 1t was 50 much less
ing that / just thought everybody would
think me a fool if Irdtd not raise my
tenants like Everybody else was do
ing. or course it was such a small
increase that there really was no harm
In it, but just had to do it so as not
to look like an easy mark"
That's just the way | feel said the
elderly little woman, who looked too
tender hearted to raise anybody.s rent
'You know / have two apartments and
from the way everybody has talked to
me ] just felt | was doing the wrong
thing by renting them so cheaply,. My
daughters really were provoked with me
for putting it off so long. Finally !
decided to send them all notices and
then all that talk about the laboring
men getting so much more money than
the office clerks gave me another idea.
I raised the rents of all my tenants in
the apartment near the factory where
they are all laborers, but | decided not
to raise on the apartment uptown where
the tenants are probably all poor office
- workers ....o
~ Are you helping make such profteers?
DO YOU complain in loud tones and
wall about the rent gougers and then
do you turn to your personal friends
and ask why on earth they are so fool
ish as to let>a good chance to make
some money slip by when everybody
! else is doing it? ~

he occupied until 1911. During the

became a minister he had built up such
a powerful political following that he

WIEN NIGHT ENFoLDs EARTH
Shadows That Haunt the Solitude Of
the Wilds Bring Respect to
Heart of Man.

The light of day fades into twi-
light. The birds, long active, trill
their good-night songs The frogs,
awakening from their DAYTIME
~quiescence, croak their welcome to
approaching night. The crickets
and the katydids begin their noisy
action.
The bong shadows OF twilight
lengthen stil more. A blackish veil
enfolds the earth, while frefies
pierce its unfathomable screen. And
owls begin their nooting monotone.
Night with its nature noises lives
and watches complement to the
day.
Man, wandering alone in dark
some wilds, hesitates, pauses and
prepares a resting place among the
trees. Tie builds a fire to drive away
the darkness which surrounds him
and TO warm him from the coolish
damp Of night-tide. Respect for the
mysteries Of nature and wholesome
fear for their untoward manifesto
tidns stand watch in the fringe OF
his consciousness, even though he
sleeps.
