May moving day is almost upon New York—the | i saddest May Day it has known since the civil war. The day the poets have for centuries sung so sweetly f of does not mean in New York dances about a be- ¢ ribboned May pole. It means for many thousands of people new associations, new surroundings, the heavy labor of “settling down.” It means evictions, hard words, hard feelings. The heavy and repeated increases of rentals in Man- hatian, particularly in the tenement districts, is a real tragedy. It is easy to say that poor people would be better off in the suburbs, where rents are cheaper, but they cannot in all cases, and in many cases they will not move. To do so would greatly increase the cost of carfare; it would break all neighborhood ties, which fi there is no escape to the summer home or to winter , yavel. useful clause dealing with some of the Pi] A heavy responsibility for the high rentals rests upon ecto conditions of marriage? m4 ‘ + ‘4 Por men, special pledges against y the Politicians of Manhattan who have bitterly fought jute home coming, poker games, festive every project for rapid transit.

Bourke Cockran’s Ora \tory Is Congress’s Best Press Ageut. SEE,” sald the Cigar Store Man, “that Bourke | 66 Cockran is making the bunch in the House of Representatives perform.” “When he cracks his whip they certainly do stunts,” agreed The Man Higher Up, “and | it 1s one of the best.tonics the country has had for a long time. When thero ure hot times in the House the statesmen in Washington; they get wise to public ques- tions, go to the floor in hot argument and stir things uy generally. ' “Up to the time that Cockran went down to Wash- ington and slipped the cork off lifs voice the House of , Representatives was as interesting as a cemetery inja new town. Shine spielers and hick demonstrators drooled and drivelled by the hour, and the Congressional Record was loaded down with a line of argument that a bookworm wouldn't read on a desert island if it was the only stuff he had. The newspapers printed a few sticka sbout doings in the House, and the people forgot all about Representatives in Congress unless they were on the lst for free seeds. “Along comes Cockran, and after his first speech vis- itors instead of sidling by the door of the House and ® chasing over to seo the exhibits of mummies in the Smith- sonian Institution, began to crowd the galleries. The day after Cockran's first sot-to with Dalzell every newspaper in New York carried a couple of columns of it, end it was the same the day after the second forensic match. It {s too bad that a good thing is spoiled by adjournment of Congress just as it Is getting to be worth the price of admission. Vi pee “We haven't been sending enough orators to Con- gress. The business of the country has been drifting Into the methods of Dave Rothschild—gum-shoe work entirely, performed in committees and through agree- ments. The Democrats have been sitting around like a crowd of Chinamen at a Sunday-school picnic, and coarse workers like Santa Claus Grosvenor, of Ohio, has been stepping on them with vehemence. A couple of talkers like Cockran on the Democratic side. and one or two as good on the Republican side would act as an alarms clock to the civic pride of the country, which has been half doped for about six years." “I never thought that Cockran wore any badges for profound argument,” complained The Cigar Store Man. “Why should he?” queried The Men Higher Up “You can phrase out some beautiful work on a violin, but when you want to hit the crowd where it ves it is better to use a brass band.”’ GOSPLETS &% Rivne By the Passerzby. — Ghe Elewator Mirror. # Elevator Gods, preserve the places Where we may perk and primp and prune our faces!
