POLITICS AND BUSINESS
the Editor Of EUentng Ledger:

| To the Editor Of EUening Ledger:
Sir--At the beginning of the presidential
campaign, when every one is thinking of
politics, the Bureau of Municipal Research
mas seen fit to remind us that government
is not all politics. Every Philadelphian
should read the following extract from the
bureaus latest bulletin:
We must not forget that the political
aspect of government Is not the only one
that is important, Only that portion of
government Is political which concerns itself
with the determination of public policy.
once a definite policy has been settled
upon the problem becomes purely adminis-
tratiVe and loses it's political character.
Now, did 1t ever occur to you that the
numerous activities of our municipality in
which a Veritable army of men and women
are employed in the main represent settled
policies and therefore require admnistra-
tive rather than political treatment? Did
you ever stop to think that in conducting
the affairs of the city our public officials
find it necessary to devote at least nine
tenths of their time to actually doing what
the public long ago has decided to have
done, and only one-tenth of their time to
questions of public policy?
ut follows from this that any civic
program which aims to improve the effect
lveness of public administration, either by
the efficiency of the workers or |
by simplifying and perfecting method and |
procedure, Is highly important"
These remarks are directed specifically |
to the problem of municipal administration. |
but they apply just as well to the condi- |
lions that prevail in Harrisburg and Wash
ngton. TAXPAYER

THE ENDLESS MOUNTAINS

To the Editor OF Evening Ledger:
Sir-An article on John Bartram in the
EVENING LEDGER states that lin Bartran's
time the Alleghenies were mapped as the
Endless Mountains
In a historical account of the Pocono
Region OF Pennsylvania, by Henry Pleas
ants, 1918, occurs the following: ''The
name 'Pocono or 'Pokono,' meaning in
Indian equivalent, "a stream between noun
tains.' is the designation applied to the
second range OF mountains substantially
parallel with the Kittatinny or Blue Noun.
tains (called in Indian deeds Endless
Mountains) and about nine miles north Of
the same"
From this statement I understand that
the name Endless Mountains" was applied
to the Blue Ridge in the Indian deeds.
A map In the possession of the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania, without date. re-
produced in volume l OF "Pennsylyania
Colonial and Federal" by Howard M. len.
kins, 1908. contains the title Endless
Mountains" just west OF the Delaware river
and north OF the parallel OF Port Jervis ]
The mountains thus indicated are above
the Poconos.
Another map reproduced in the sars
volume Of Jenkins work, from a copv m
Of w. j. Holland covers prattv
nearly the same part OF Pennsylvania. This
map Is dated 1855. II also shows the .ssnd-
