magistrates courts. In Manhattan.
according to reports we have received,
the magistrates have enforced the law
and had landlords concerned brought
before them on summonses.
However. some of the magistrates
in Brooklyn, We have learned, have
refused to issue summonses in all
cases of the kind. They say, Il is re-
ported to us, that the State Fuel Com
mission issued an order directing land
lords to save their coal for winter heat
ing, because Of coal shortage, and
that therefore they (the magistrates)
magistrates say that they themselves
have received such instructions from
the commission.
"ln this stand the magistrates are
aided by the assistant district attor-
neys attached to their courts, Though
District Attorney Ruston of Kings
County declared in letter recently
written to the committee that he'd
never heard OF such orders from the
Fuel Commission, either to the land
lords or magistrates.
IF court redress is to be denied
tenants in such cases, what are they
to do"
a typical case in point, the reporter
was informed, was that of Mrs. S.
Greenhause, the occupant of an apart
ment at 50 South Tenth Street, Brook
lyn. According to the committee rec
ords, Mrs. Greenaause applied to Mag
istrate George H. Folwell, in the
Bridge Plaza court, for summons for
her landlord, H. Swartz, and was re-
fused for the reasons given.

A serious disturbance threatened for

Mayor Hylan broke his ivory gavel in

lawyer, who appeared for forty prop

disturbance when he accused Riegel-
mann Of favoring Louis Stauch, mill

being cut in two to make room for
one of the new streets. The lawyer
declared the whole thing was a scandal.

Mcnamara. "This whole thing was

big store of overcoats and um-

appearance Of the reserves quieted the
crowd, g. and Mcnamara found seat in
the rear of the room. Another member
OF the delegation spoke briefly in op-
position to the street plan, after which
Mayor Hylan suggested that the mat
ter be laid over for two weeks.
The Riegelmann plan provides for
the cutting of twelve new streets, from
60 to 100 feet in width, connecting Surf
Avenue and the new boardwalk, be-
tween West Eighth and West Twenty
frst streets, Coney Island, which will
do away with the alleys and narrow
passages in that district.

A real man would rather be

There are slackers and slackers.
In the past two years, the term

connection with the man who

Here Is a little story which

survivor of the next settlement

that the Indians were on the war
path. Its members hurried into
the stockade and made such prep
arati0ns as they could for its de-
Tense. They had all too many
reasons for supposing that If the
Indians got in every man, woman
and child would be slain-very
likely with those gruesome elab-
orations the Indians always eff
fected. In the siege every hand
was needed. Women loaded the
muskets; children brought food
and water.
But say there had been one
able bodied male who refused TO
take part in the proceedings. Sup
pose, when besought thereto, he
said: Il have conscientious
scruples. Our Master taught:
Love your enemies; do good UNI
to them. If your enemy hunger,
fed him; il he thirst, give him
drink" OF course / expect to eat
my share of the scanty stock of
food. / expect you 10 protect me
from the Indians. But if / load
your rifie5-or fetch you ammuni-
ton or bring up food and water
am assisting in killing; and it is
written. 'Tohu shalt not kill.
Probably when the Indians were
driven Off several weary men
would have found time to kick
him over the fence, and to the
end of his days he would have
complained that he had been per-
secuted for his conscientious
scruples.
That was brought TO our minds
the other day by a bundle of press
clippings showing that the may
or of a town had refused to sub
scribe To Liberty Bonds or to
speak for Bonds or in any way to
encourage the sale of the Bonds
quoting scriptures copiously in
support of his refusal. Here and
there you will find such a chap.
Mostly, according to our observa-
ton, they were openly pro-Germ-
an before our declaration of war
made that attitude dangerous.
They are grafters-expecting
sustenanee and protection from
the community but refusing to
help defend it. As for their
scripture. any novice in casuistry
knows that no great ingenuity in
distortion is necessary in order to
find a Biblical text in support of
almost any proposition.
Isn't the parallel a nice one?
Aren't they all alike? Aren't they
an in the same boat-the Stacker
who refused to fight the Indians,
the Stacker who refused TO fight
for his country and the Stacker
who refuses TO patronize his
home merchants? No doubt of il
at all. They're all parasites living
on the community's expense and
contributing nothing in return.
They are worthy of nothing but
the condemnation of every loyal
home town patriot, and they de-
serve to be treated as social out
casts without civic consciences by
those who know that for a town
to be successful it must have the
loyal support and cooperation of
