WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT WORD?
153.-SLAV E.

The odious word ."slave," in the
sense in which 1t was used in Amer
lea until the proclamation by Presi-
dent Lincoln that abolished it. was
originally the name Of great branch
of the human race. That branch was
the Slavs, among whom the Russians,
the Poles and the Czechs are num-
bered.
In the early wars between the
Germans and the Slavs. the Slavic
captiyes were used much as the Ne
groes we're used in parts of America
prior to the Civil War. Hence,
bondman was designated as a "Slav"
or slave by the Germanic con-
querors.
BY way Of an offset to this con-
temptible designation of the Slavs as
"slaves," 1t is only fair to point out
that the Slavs trace the derivation of
their race name to 'slava," or glory.

TOO BIG AN ITEM.

Misunderstanding during the housing crisis,
This is the greatest constructive item in the
programme for relieving rent payers. A veto
would overjoy the lessters. The prospect of new
homes for half the surplus population scared the
profiteers. The competition would force all rents
lower.
The Governor doubts the eonstitutionality of
the measure With all respect to the Governors
ability as constitutional lawyer. The Evening
World believes the question ought to be left to
the courts.
The time for interpostion of constitutional
doubts was when the bill was under consideration.
The Governor cannot be expected to utter consti-
tutional warnings against every bill introduced in
the Legislature But this particular measure was
one of the major achievements of the session. 1t
affects half the people of the State. The Gov
ernor's duty was to guard the interests of New
York tenants while the opportunity offered
Under the circumstances, Gov Miller ought to
sign the bill and let it run the gamut of the
courts, where the compelling force of the emer-
gency in housing has had full recognition in the
validation of other measures which would not be
tolerated under other circumstances.
