THE READERS VIEWPOINT
A New Yorker Paws His Rcspec,s

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger.
Sir--Apropos of the editorial in today's
issue of the EVENING PUBLIC LT:bGER, with
its sarcastic comments in reference to Now
York and the so-cslled diosyncrases Of
New Workers in general. permit me to state
that Philadelphia is not immune from AIR
attacks by German airplanes. with which YOU
state New York is threatened.
Even this, however. would not fluster the
slow and leisurely life of Philadelphia. Even
few bombs dropped over Billy PENIS head
would hardly arouse the inhabitants Of the
Quaker City from the lethargy with which
the majority of them are afflicted. If. as you
state. "ennui Is a plague of summer in the
inexplicable city Of New York. there is only
one other place to be compared with the alll
year-round dullness of Philadelphia, and that
is section of the battlefields in France re-
Gently .'gassed." where every one fs uncon-

THE MAYOR STANDS FROM UNDER

sMAYoR SMITH very properly objects to
AsA assuming with the City Solicitor re-
sponsibiity for multiplying contracts which
the contractors, owing TO war conditions,
have found impossible to fulfill without
heavy loss. Many men who have engaged
to do business with the city have given
bonds secured by the Mayors bonding
company. II they fail to make good the
bonding company must reimburse the city.
II their contracts are nullified the bonding
company will escape all responsibility.
The Mayor has asked the Finance Com
mittee to recommend the passage Of an
ordinance placing all responsibility for deal
ing with contractors in the present cXcep-
tional conditions upon Councils itself.
Whether contractors who discover that
they have made a bad bargain should he
allowed to back out is 4 debatahle Ques-
ton But there can he no disagreement
on the proposition that no man who has
had anything to do with bonding them
should be allowed to have any say whether
they should be forced TO live up 10 their
contract or not

FOX AND BIPARTISANSHIP

lawyer of Easton, to the Supreme Court
bench.
Mr.. Fox is said to have been recon-

Palmer to whom the position was offered.
Mr.. Palmer is reorganization Demo-
crat, opposed to the affliaton of his party
with the Penrose Republican organization.
Mr. BrLmbaugh is affiliated with the Re
publican faction opposed to the Peurose
organization and he has made few appoint
ments which were not approved by the
brains of the Ware faction.
The curious will at once begin to wonder
whether the Ware faction is attempting to
bring about an alliance with the Demo-
cratic reorganizers.
The situation is one which should excite

AS TO LOOKING GIFT STATUES IN

THERE would have been no squabbe in

James Buchanan if the niece OF the former
President had not willed 100000 to pay
for it. A grateful nation had not yet been
moved to honor him at its own expense.
But this is not the first complication that
has been produced by the eagerness Of the

Of some local celebrity OF greater or lesser

In recent years we have created art

A JOB FOR MR.. HOOVER

HNHERE is a kind of price-fixing to which
Il the most scrupulous economists cannot
object.
1t is the fixing of prices to prevent
profiteering.
\ The price of beef has advanced eight
ten and fifteen cents pound. according
to the cut within a month. Leg Of lamb
has gone up ten cents. Veal chops and
calves liver cost ten cents more, and other
meats are higher.
4 There is adequate reason for these
soaring prices. Mr.. Hoover would earn
the gratitude of every householder if he
would give instant attention to the sub
ject.
They have not permitted the civilian
spopulace to be robbed in Paris, and in
London prices are kept down at a reason.
able figure. We are certainly as capable
as the English the French to deal with
the question.
The profiteer is not the retail dealer
The blame lies further back. Mr.. Hoover
ought to be able to fix the responsibility
