slow before purchasing. Their chances

FAvoRs SUNDAY CONCERTS

10 inc EUhOr or EtCHtnU LcuOer'
Sir-You are certainly right in the ques-
tion of the Philadelphia Orchestra Sun
day concerts.
Even considering 1t under the heavenly
point of view, there Is not the slightest
doubt that the music given by the Phila-
delphia Orchestra will elevate the souls
much closer to the Almighty. than the
sing-sonEs of the average church. which
are, almost without exception, more like
hellish tunes than anything approaching
harmony
If the ministers fear the competition,
why don't they give something better
than the announced concerts?
And. anyhow: are those fossil blue-laws
constitutional? Who has in this free
country the right to rule howe are we
going to live on Sundays? This Is not
the only country in the world that has
religion; this Is not the only country that
has ministers; but this country brought
to existence in the name OF freedom and
liberty, Is one OF the few countries where
tho clergy imposes blue-laws, making of
the day of rest, n day of forced mourn
ing. and by that taking away from the
honest man who works the whole week
around. the only day he has for the ex-
pansion of his soul and the airing of his
body. t'"I 'f''..
There is no proof that the ministers
with their blue-black-laws are succeed
ing in railroading to heaven any greater
number of souls than are admitted
among the citizens of countries where
they are not allowed to interfere with
the laws at all; so, let us get the con-
certs as quickly as possible, and we hope
they will be the parting point for the
bleaching OF those nonsensical, noncon-
stitutlonal colored laws. READER

BUSINESS MEN EXPLAIN
10 the Editor Of Public Ledger:

To the Edtor OF fuOliC btuOI'
sir-There are several business orga-
nizations in West Philadelphia.
Because of recent newspaper report
of an entertainment given by the West
Philadelphia Business Association, the
business men around SD and Market
strets are being held up for an explana-
ton.
The men around SD and Market streets
arc not connected with the organization
in question, but have an organization OF
their own, called the SD and Market
Business Association.
Mr.. f. l.. Davis, president of the SD
and Market Business Association, said to-
day! "If the report is true as rumored,
It was a very different affair than the
one recently conducted by our association,
which celebrated it's annual banquet the
18th Of last month at the Hotel Marlyn.
We had an entertainment and some
speakers, who were first class and well
known. Ladies were also in attendance.
Our program was handled by Mr. J. G..
Scorer a member of the association and
head of the Scorer Entertainment Bureau.
Among the speakers were DR.. w. Quay
Roselle, popular after dinner speaker and
one of the foremost men in the country.
and tho popular West Philadelphia
preacher, the Rev. A. Pohlman, also an
honorary member of the association; also
W. II. Crown. executive secretary Y. NJ.
C. a.
The entertainment furnished was that
given by the famous Southern Jubilee
Male Quartet, famed the country over Tor
their Southern songs and limitations.
l am not saying this to comment on
the meeting OF the other organization: I
know nothing whatever about it, | feel
that 1t is only fair to make this state
ment in view OF the fact that many
have gotten the two organizations mixed
up and that the people of West Philadel-
phia should have the matter explained.
