DON'T KNOW WHEN WELL OFF.

New York landlords are much ex- ercised over the efforts which are be- ing put forth in that state to secure legislation that will protect the ten ants. This is the outcome of the shortage of apartments and the prac- tice of rent souging. While it is to be appreciated that the landlords nave as good reason for advancing rsnts reasonably as others have for getting increased prices on commodi- ties or seeking increased pay, it is nevertheless apparent that the rent prohteers are disposed to go as far in their efforts as the unpopular profit eers in other lines of business. and even though whatever laws are en- acted will apply to all landlords the conditions will be brought about by some of those who are out to get ev- cry cent possible, and are not who suffers as the result.
 The injustice of the position taken by some of the landlords is well dis played by few speakers in a meet ing of landlords. The proposition was made that a bill be favored limiting the net income of the landlords to 2f per cent. That was pointed out as being much higher than the court would fix it, but 1t was met with such remarks as Tt isn't enough. and We want all the money we car get"
 It is that very spirit which ha. caused the resort to rent Legislation and regardless of the known attitud, of the rent payers and the recogni. ton of the fact that they are gettint more than they are entitled to ii many instances, 1t will be that yer, attitude which will be responsible fo drastic rent bills if the New Yorl legislature decides to pass them.
 The property owner who is dis posed to be reasonable and who is de ternined to treat others right will no Ind that his action drives rent payer to get protective legislation, but thos whe are committed to getting ever cent they can squeeze out of the pub lie, regardless of Justification, are no likely Go get much sympathy whethe In ST out of legislative halls.

Latter nax Saint. Are Mormons

Mir Elitor: I would like to add little information that 1 have at hand not found in T. L. C.'s letter in an- swer to M. M. w. regarding the Nor mons. Of course the present day Mormons are not like the rnurderous, polygamous gang that massacred em- igrants of the plains years ago, but wherever found The Latte Day Saints are all Mormons Joseph Smith organized "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" It was the neighbors that called them Mormons and the name has mon" which Smith claims he trans lated from the gold plates delivered to him by an angel near Manchester, N. r., and dictated to Oliver Cowdry and printed by the aid of Martin Harris in 1880 was written in 1872 as his torical romance by one Solomon Spalding, crack -brained preacher, and the manuscript falling into the hands of an interruptions composit- or, Sidney Rigdon, was copied by him and subsequently given to Joseph Smith. Armed with this book and with self assumed divine authority he soon began to attract followers. Smith and Rigdon were at one time tarred | and feathered.

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE RE.
 PORT.

The second industrial conference has accomplished what the first fail- ed to do. It organized, carried on it's discussions and has now presented it's recommendations. It prof1ted by the mistakes of it's predecessor and what it has brought forth should get the serious consideration that an effort of that character and its product are entitled to.
 The conference has established no new laws, set up no new machinery or made any change in the relations of capital and labor. It has never theless, after a lengthy consideration of the problems placed before ii evolved a programme with the idea of having those very things accom- plished. That was all it was asked to do and it remains to be seen, now that it has completed it's work, how much attention the recommendations will receive.
 The purpose in mind was to devise some way of improving the tndustria situation by making it possible tC overcome the detrimental and costly labor disputes which had been ex- perienced. The conference in it's re port shows how methods and machin cry can be employed for the proven tion of labor troubles, or to adjus them in case they should arise.
 For this the plan is to have nationa and regional boards to be drawn iron the workers and employers and tn report goes into full detail as to hoy this shall be done and what power they shall possess. There is no denia of rights to either capital or labor il the report but after recognition 0 such the conference report proceed to show how adjustments can b made in accord with the facts for tn welfare of not only those directly in l volved but the public as we'll
 There has long been need of pre- venting strikes and lockouts. If it ca be done through the plan devised b this conference a great and lastin benefit will have been obtained.
