Down with Preparedness

Florida Man.
CONGRESS CALLED

From Tho Tribuns Bureau :

Washington. Jan. y. If prepared

frankly expressed on the floor Of the
House of Representatives. to-day, by
Representative Frank Clark. Of Flori-

and Grounds Committee. And the

little difference 10 me whether We have
a public building bill or not. have
only one town in my district unpro-
vided for which. under the rules, is
entitled TO a public building"
There were quiet chuckles at this
naive confession that Mr.. Clark's po-
sition on the Public Buildings Com
mittec had resulted in his state get
ting both feet in the trough. He went
on to say. amid the applause Of others
hungry for pork, that he was unre-
servedly for the passage Of public
building bill at this session Of Con-
gress. declaring that he had no pa
itence with the assertion that because
the supervising architect Of the Treas
ury was behind IN his plans for build

favored public building in every
town from Maine to California which

"The storm Of ridicule and abuse
OF the committee and of Congress for
what has been designated 'pors barrel
legislation" Mr.. Clark continued, was
brought into being By certain senss-
tional metropolitan newspapers and
saffron colored magazines, so that the
general public has begun 10 believe
that the CHIEF occupation of the aver
age member Of Congress is the plumb
ering Of the public treasury for the
sole benefit of his particular district"
After expressing his full measure Of
pain at this surprising attitude Oh
the part of the public Mr.. Clark de-
plored the charges that politics had
anything to do with the operations of
the committee. He said that it was
strictly non-psrtisan committee, and
was influenced solely b. patriotism.
He finally admitted that there might
have been little politics, but, Of
course, it was injected By the Repub-
licans.
Mr.. Clark waXed particularly indig

ment, through the Office Of the super

the will of Congress on the public
building question. He did not refer

Grown-ups who still keep the hearts
OF children may rejoice, for play TO
delight them has strayed out of the
past on 10 Broadway. "The Cinderella
Man" is its name. and though its
scenes are laid in the New York Of
the present day IT'S atmosphere Is ms
much that of a fairy story book IA the
old "Cinderela" Of childhood ever was.
Things happen in this four-act comedy
By Edward Childs Carpenter. given last
night a. the Hudson Theatre, which
We know never would happen IN real
life. But We only wish they could. and
are happy when they do upon the stage.
In this modern fairy tale Mr.. Car
ponter has seen ~ 10 make his Gin
derella" masculine and his heroine a
fairy godmother The poor cinderella
Man" is n struggling author who writes
masterpieces in his attic among the
chimney pots. The lonesome little
heroine is the daughter Of hard
hearted millionaire next door. ana
when she hears o. the proud young
poet she steals across the roofs with
a basket Of good things and plays the
part Of the beautiful godmother
Like all stage geniuses, the poet chap
is stupid fellow. absorbed IN his work
and blind 20 the charms Of MS fAlr
visitor. lie is satisfied when she tells
him that she is the companion OF an
heiress next door. She gives MN good

on the opera libretto which Is 20 WIN
him a SO 000 prize
But his self-satisfcd ease is shat
tered when The Great She-Bear the
landlady discovers the pair and ter
prets the situation as landladies OF
quite proper boardn E houses naturally
would. The poor little rich girl has to
creep back over the nousctops 10 her
cheerless mansion. while the genius Is
turned out TO find other lodgings.
OF course. as in all properly regu-
lated fairy tales, all ends happily, Tor
the poet wins the money prize and the
fairy acknowledgements, too.
What makes this century-old story
so DELIGHTFUL is the charming way IN
which the author tells it, with no
apologies for It's righteousness mat
and the keen bits OF humaHness IN
situations and lines. There are
humorous lines a-plenty, and though
the story is rather long in the telling
II keeps its freshness TO the hnal love
scene.
A large part Of this is due 70 the
really remarkable cast which oliver
Morosco has selected for the piece.
Phpbe Foster, as pretty as fairy
godmother should be, gives a perform
snce which leaves nothing TO be de-
sired. while Shelley Hull. as the TN

TIPPING DEFENDED AGAIN

To the Editor Of EveHinp Ledger:
Sir-I have read with interest a letter
signed by 'one of the Suckers" in which he
most strenuously favors a non-tipping sys-
tenn under all conditions. He is SO con-
trary minded that remarks made by him
are almost to be laughed at. He states
that 1t must be poor rule that won't work
both ways, yet he will not allow for my
side of the question. He says that all
restaurant and hotel proprietors are COM
PEELED TO pay living wage Well, can
say he does not know whereof he speaks
for II / quoted the salary, barring tips, of
one with whom / am well acquainted, 1t
would sound paradoxical in itself
Let me tell him that every business is
really run on system of tips although
1t is not known as such. For instance he
says that a mill employe who by his or
her skill produces goods for the public
does not receive any tips in any form. Say
the owner figures oni manufacturing an
cares TO make say 20 cents on sale of IT,
After the skill OF the worker produces the
article in n shape that the owner sees he
can sell II at profit OF 40 cents he sells
it for such and thereby gaining more than
expected. The result is that the employe
is either advanced to a higher position or
else given a raise in salary and thereby
receives a tip, as II were, and again 1t Is
one OF the suckers that pays the tip by pur-
chasing the article at higher price, and the
public is no wiser.
Now back to my original thought that
the statesmen. especially those travelling.
should compensate their helpers A sales
man travelling must do fair business
in his respective line of endeayor. He was
in New York yesterday, In Philadelphia
today and will be in Chicago before the
week has ended. He Is usually an annual
visitor at some restaurant or other cafe,
and usually very particular about every
thing. He wishes that table nearest the
street, is wanting this and that, and after
being served In a style most becoming |
argue that he is the one TO hand over q
loose nickel or dime that won't be missed
and can be we'll afforded.

Another thing that pleased the men
who will be Mr., Blacks chief assistants
was the way he buckied down to his desk.

he TO a clerk who begged his pardon for
unloading on him first thing big armful
Of correspondence. II never was afraid
Of work. and I'm ready for tha busiest

Il seems strange that a

1t seems strange that violent
campaign should be necessary to insure
the removal of Chestnut Hill grade cross
ings. Every grade crossing is a danger.
Those spared accidents so far exist on
tolerance and capitalize good fortune
These things are known and recognized
and embarrassing elimination is an item
in the expense account Of every railroad.
The reason given for maintaining GER
tain OF the Objectionable crossings is that
the money for removal is not at hand.
In more senses than one, that should be
the last argument
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-07-10

with the patient and systematic
thoroughness for which he had won dis.
tinction among his associates at the bar,
he kept on until the work was finished. AS
a result, the insurance laws Of the State
were revised and the abuses which had
existed were wiped out.
The reputation which the gas investiga-
tion had made metropolitan became State
wide as a result of the insurance inquiry.
Here was the kind Of man the people
liked. The politicians saw his availa-
bility, and they nominated him for the
goyernorship. He was elected, and then,
as he put lt, the whole State Of New
York became his client His office did
not change him. He was loyal to his
client and cared little what the political
bosses thought or did. When the time
came to nominate his successor, the con-
vention sat two or three days trying to
get up it's courage to turn him down and
nominate some one else. He was In
different to the result. There was no
one in the convention who had authority
to speak for him In any way. II the people
of the State wanted him to serve for
another term, he was willing. IL they
did not want him, he would resume his
much more profitable law practice. The
bosses finally had to renominate him. not
because they liked him, but because he
had served the people so well that they
did not dare reject him.
And now, because he is the kind of man
that he is the Republican party has
called him with a greater unanimity than
IL has called any new candidate in its
history to lead it In the presidential cam
paign. He did all that any public-spirited
man could we'll do to make 1t known that
he would prefer to remain on the Su.
preme Court bench. He did not say that
he would not accept the nomination II II
were offered, because 1t is his theory that
an American citizen owes II to his coun.
try to serve 1t when summoned. No other
American was ever nominated to the
Presidency under similar circumstances.
1t may be that no other American ever
will be so nominated, but success will
come to every man who follows the
Hughes system. II is the method of
thoroughness and mastery without which
there can be no achievement in any line
of endeavor. G. w. d.
