Probably it represents something near an average of what the individual jurors believed to be fair and reasonable. ' Although the jury took more than a day for con- \ sideration, their final verdict completely confounds ' one of the bitter objections to the new laws. Real | estate interests were sure that jurors would side with tenants in all cases and that the landlords § wouki have nq hope for justice if the burden of Proof was placed on the shoulders of the rent- raisers, \ Actual trial by jury demonstrated that a jury may be depended on to be fair. In this first case two small raises had been accepted and only a third and larger increase roused the tenants to the fighting pitch. Even under Suctr circumstances the jury con- ceded some further relief to the landlord. ‘ But while the court has been tied up and twelve | citizens have lost time in jury service, there is no | | | sourl River, such contraptions have become a com monplace. All sorts of motor-driven contrivances may be seen on the good rodds of the West. Many evi- dently are home-made and exhibit great ingenuity in providing “all the comforts of home” and some not provided at home, One builder may specialize in a braced roof that unfolds and becomes a house, Another may have a trailer. Running boards and tenders are packed until the automobile has something the appearance of a fat woman doing the “shimmy,” as it plods merrily on its w The whole family—two or a dozen—pack them- selves in and “see America first.” They eat and sleep and picnic for weeks and months at a time, camping along the highway and enjoying the dis- comforts as well as the comforts, It is cheaper travel than by railroad: Profiteering hotels are use- ful only as landmarks. Sooner or later Basterners will awaken to the op- portunities they are missing. Then we shall grow accustomed to “bungalows on wheels” and Eastern cities will follow the Western example of providing convenient camping places for motor tourists from the West who are only awaiting such an invitation to pay us a visit, THE LAST WEEK, Feassen D. ROOSEVELT, Democratic can- didate for Vice President, appeals to the news- papers of this State to publish the full covenant of the League of Nations, In his statement Mr. Roosevelt says: “As a citizen of the State of New York, even more than a8 a candidate for election, I want to make an especial appeal to the newspapers of the Stato, large and small, and of all politi- reason to suppose that the award is fairer or more | reasonable than a group of conscientious appraisers ie familiar with real estate values and expenses could | have arrived at in a few minutes once they had the _. facts. « The trial shows the urgent need of a board gov- emed by a set of general rules and worthy of the ‘A jury will be fair and reasonable, A board of ft ' exerts could be fair and reasonable—and save a | | great deal of time. ti WHERE SHALL WE SEEK WISDOM? BSTERDAY'S wiggle—or perhaps it was a 4 wabble—from the Front Porch was a recom- li mendation of a “wise association of nations.” { The advocate of the “wise” variety of League was the same person who recently was “frank to say to you that I am without a single programme, con- ‘ structive in character, about an association of {en nations.” f Has the Candidate acquired “wisdom” fn the last month? If So, he is in duty bound to describe a “wise” association. Or fs it merely that the author or authors of Kd “wise” association wiggle are from a different group than the “unconstructive” wabbler oj a month ago? Lal Perhaps the next wiggle—or wabble—imay reveal the answer. Perhaps not. « DROP THE FIGHTING TONE. \MPLOYING truckmen have replied to the de- E mands of the union workers, The drivers ask more money. The employers counter with the demand for a longer day and a lower wage. Here, apparently, we have elements favoring a declaradon of industrial warfare. Worse yet, both the demand and the reply are couched in provoca- tive terms which have no rightful place in labor disputes. 7 A meeting is pending for the discussion of wage and working conditions. In the interests of indus- , trial peace the representatives of both union and employers would do well to draw in their horns and \ look for a reasonable ground of settlement rather , than for a fight. Time for wage-culting in industry has not ar. rived. The cost of living has not lowered ma- terially, On the other hand increased productivity of labor is essential if costs are to continue to d crease. Now is no time for either employers or unionists | to be carrying chips on thér shoulders. Now is 4 the time when the two parties should meet in peace and amity and try to figure out new and improved methods in industey which will enable employe + stay in business and continue to pay wages as high 4 as possible, In advance of a meeting, neither « troversy should make statements which may prove ' embarrassing when represetifatives are gathered around a table to talk business and determine the facts which must govern business relations. to é to a con- Fs q TRAVELLING HOMES. * ‘ STATEN *SLAND man is buikling what he ba calls “‘a bungalow on wheels” in which he and his family propose to migrate to Florida for the winter, thus avoiding the twin bogies of the New Yorker—rent and coal bills.

Sept. 18 last, The Evening Wofld gave its readers a special full page copy of the coverrant in every edition, It printed the preamble and the twenty-six ar- ticles without comment, for the information of “the citizen and voter who prefers to study so mo- mentous‘an issue at first hand.” Later, following this presentation of the covenant itself, The Evening World published a Primer of the League of Nations in twelve instalments whidh ex- plained in simple terms the provisions of the cove- nant. : Other New York newspapers subsequently fol- lowed the example of The Evening Worki and printed the covenant with explanatory articles. The result was a larger ‘ffort to let people know where they could obtain copies of the covenant and how they could study it to best advantage. The consequent spread of first-hand familiarity with the covenant provisions has helped to produce the enormous growth of enthusiasm for the League * in the past few weeks, The covenant is its own best exponent To the truth of this there has never been stronger testimony than the fact that Republican campaign text-books excluded the covenant text. This is the last week of the campaign, No self-respecting American voter can afford to go to the polls next Tuesday without having read the covenant of the League of Nations with all the in- telligence he can bring to it. The man or woman voter who would rather be- lieve what somebody else has told him about it and let it go at that is a slacker, Mental and moral standards i 13 Common wealth are high. Let every voter in the Stale uf New York ask himself this week: . Have I read the covenant of the League of Na- tions conscientiously and without prejudice, as so great an instrument in the forward movement of civilization deserves to be read? Let him ask every one of his friegds the same question. Having studied the League, are we to go into it with Cox or are we to stay out of it with Harding? | It is for New Yorkers to deliver their answer next Tuesday from honest thought and conviction—not like party slaves, fearing to read thé covenant lest their consciences be troubled and their party chains seem shameful, TWICE OVERS. sO AMENEAN exportation of wheat will cease within ten years unless the farmer can increase | the productivity of his soil.”’— Herbert Hoover. * * * | 66 ALLL advances shock somebody.” —Elihu Root, _ THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1920. “In Honor Bound!” ott RS en, G WORLD READERS | Leve With To the Kalter of The Krening 1 love the flowers, the trees, the birds, I love the bugn, the animals, 1 this great, big city—in fact, ry~ rats—the Prohibitionists—who took my beer away from me LOUIS NEMO.
