O'Hara Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New Tork Evening World). ORDS are the ruling class I, in England Over here they call ‘em landlords. British birds have titles, but U. 8. landlords have titles, 4eases and the full set of papers. Lot of honor is due a lord. Landlords don’t get mv<a honor, but they get everything else that’s due them And they usually get it the first of the month, Lords and landlords are Big Stuff in this world. Takes a duke to outrank a lord, and on this side the only one bigger than 4 landlord is the janitor, Janitor’s an uncrowned king, al- though a lotta folks still favor crowning him. 4 Don’t bave any peers over here—this is a democratic coun- try. Peers all come frgym Eng- land, Only thing we got here are piers, and the peers that come from England step on ‘em. But we're getting away from landlords, which is a dificult thing to do—have you ever tried it? , Landlord is the guy that owns the property. You're looking for a flat and he takes you in— good and plenty. Pulls out a lease and you sign it. Lease guarantees that the landlord will let you live in a specified place, and that’s all any land- lord agrees to do—let you live. Landlord and the first of the month come round regularly— always arrive at the same time, Landlord's favorite month is Feb- ruary. Not only the shortest month in the year, but that’s when the landlord turns off the steam—if it’s been on. In case you can't pay the rent you can always depend on the landlord. He'll help you out. Yuh—out on the street. 2 Every other month landlord brings good news. Announces that because the war is over rent will have to go up. Boost © ecessary because conditions are Onsettled. Everything’s unset- tled—except the rent. Good ni faite to please. Only tenant that welcomes a “raise is a Heutcnant, and he lives ima tent, Flat<dweller has his home and his roll, But he has to give up one of 'em Selle the furniture to pay the rent—then he’s got no place to sleep. Seo ond-hand dealer has his bed. No lower cheaper to ‘move than pay rent. Said that in the old days when thgy let you live @ month before collecting the rent, Landlord to-day lets the insurance company do the gam- bling—he gets his in advance. And those were the days when the guys with moving vans con- still on the job—they fill ‘em every day—but teamsters no longer control the movies Screen stars now look like plumbers. Nowadays you think a igng time before you move—same as fn checkers. Movie rights on your furniture cost more than @ month's rent and there's no comeback. If you do come back, return trip costs the same amount. ‘ Besides, one flat’s as bad as another now. Like going from the frying-pan into the fire jf a guy changes his flat in the summer time. Nothing suggestive of fre in the winter, though. That's when they fire the elevator boys and the mop maids, but. they never think of firing the furnace. Nope, tht only chance for a flat-dweller to-day is to stick and get stuck. Won't getcher anything to raise the roof when the landlord rajses the rent— especially if it’s a rainy day. ‘The moving guys get you com- ing and going, and the landlord gets you in between. Only real way to get your fur niture moved cheap is to stop paying the instalments. Do this ‘and you lose nothing but the furniture. You forfeit your en- trance fee, but what is a dollar down to a man that’s out—or is gonna be put out shortly? Lotta firms advertise “Your credit is good.* Make ‘em prove it!
