To the Front Again.

Now that the renting season has opened again the difference in sentiment between the followers of Colonel Roosevelt in his ideas, on “race suicide” and the owners of property is being emphasised. Those who are doing their best to do their duty by the country—as the colonel sees it—are up against it on account of more things than the high cost of living. One such citizen, however, got even the other day. He was looking for an apartment and had gone over the preliminaries with a renting agent. He liked the apartment and the price was right. He considered the deal practically closed, when the agent asked, "Oh. have you any children?" "Why, yes, one," said the apartment hunter. “Well, what do you want me to do about her? Knock her In the head?” he continued as the agent shook his head dubiously, indicating the negotiations would be broken off.
