Man Street, in Philadelphia Learns N. Y. Writer

and has felt the effect of the steadily
mounting cost of living. and everybody
is more concerned in having the gov
ernment do something to put stop
to 1t than he is in specializing over the
effect Of altruistic plans to make war
impossible. ~
The writer questioned "a lady,
President Wilson is perfectly all
right" she said "I would be s,ir
priseG II there is single person in
the world. outside Of Germany, who
doesn't want the peace treaty ratified
at once, and it will be ratified--the
people will see to that. After that I
hope the President will do something
to make Freds salary go further than
it does now. :"
Fred Disagrees with Wife
Then Fred. the husband disagreed
with his wife by declaring that the SEN
ate is right and that Wilson has no
business to commit this country to
foreign entanglements."
The taxi driver" advised his ques-
toner to ''leave Wilson alone-he's all
right" He added that he was bothered
two children and meat for his table
The "hotel clerk" declared that he
heard IA lot of stuff about the league
of nations" and thought that the Presi-
dent should make the Senate do what
he wants. so we can get back to OPEN
bar days and make little profit. He
thought prohibition was "a d. sight
worse than war.
The 'shoe dealer" wanted "the Sem
ate to stop talking its fool head off
and get down to action The "hair
dresser" volunteered the information
that all the women are with the Presi-
dent, and that she is, too.

of nations was ''rotten," and asked,
Where does Ireland come in!'' He
answered his own question by stating,
1T don't come in at ALL" He wanted
peace signed.

Then came ''the street evangelist" !"
supporting the President: "the stock
broker" against the league and de-
manding an end to the high cost of
living. and the chair manufacturer"
who wanted both peace and. the cove
nant signed at once.

like the league because lit is not

German born cigar maker objected to
the treaty because ''it is unjust He

President Wilson could take care of

The interviewer talked to "the rail-
road porter and learned:

treated the colored race right, but I
guess he knows what he's doin'. I'm,
