WILSON BOULEVARD"
To Me Editor ot Me Erening PMbNc Ledqe,

To the Editor Of the Erening Public Ledger
Sir---I beg to differ with "A Readers"
opinion that our Parkway should be called
Wilson Boulevard" There are so many
prominent Philadelphians who could be hon
ored with more propriety in this. a city
which is not closely identified with the
career Of MIR. Wilson. But believe it would
be better TO get away altogether from The
idea of naming streets and places after
men. 1t smacks too much Of hero-worshp,
and hero-worship is not democratic.
We should name our streets after great
events movements in which the people
have taken part. There should be "Decla-
ration Avenue" In Philadelphia 10 commem-
crate the Declaration of Independence, and
in Washington there might be a Democracy

of ''the world made safe for democracy"

1 have always wondered what black magic
the transit magnates of the country use TO
prevent public discussion of municipal own
ershp Municipal ownership is much more
feasible and practicable than national own
ershp because city public service corpo-
ration IL much more easily managed than
one on national scale
1t is strange that more young men do not
enter politics by lighting transit magnates
In Cleveland Tom johnson did such splendid
fighting that he won for himself a national
reputation.
He succeeded by Newton Baker who
kept up the good work. The country ought
to realize that there is problem more
difficult than transit, and that those who
master 1t are probably men big enough to
take almost any job and it through. 1t
would be a good thing II after the war
