Public Discussion
RESTAURANT KEEPER SAYS
A WORD FOR HIS 5UsiNE IS,


To The News Scimltar.
Permit me TO reply 10 the gentleman
from Paducah, relating 70 the working
girls and their struggles In Memphis.
Now before entering upon the subject.
let me state that the undersigned is a
brother OF four sisters, and naturally
is one of those who wishes to see not
only the working girls but every work
ing woman get out Of such struggles
and live more comfortably and happier.
But why, II anything bad happens TO
some of the native American people
do they always blame and point TO II
poor foreigner who has always been
loyal to his adopted country and whom
our Uncle Sam said is 100 per cent
American since he has become an Amer
lean citizcn2
Also would like to know II tho gen
man Of paducah, u, w Fooks ever ran
a restaurant, However | am satified
that this gentleman from Paducah has
never been In restaurant business, judg-
ing by the general trend Of his letter.
Therefore, | am asking him II ply
sician can he a lawyer or an engineer
and actor. and an actor "A general, or
can an electrician be an artist, etc
Most certainly not, because each one
respectively has been taught and
trained in different trades and voca-
tons
Now. as a practical and experienced
restaurant man. / wish 10 inform the
gentleman critic OF the Greek restau-
rant owners that his criticism was abb
solutely without foundation. because,
besides the bacon and eggs, coffee and
butter and bread, for which he paid his
half dollar, he did not consider the high
rents and the high wages and the ever
increasing light and gas bills, and the
laundry bin, where each price OF laun-
dry follows the price Of sugar.
Also the 30 cents per hundred for. ice,
10 keep the 60-cent storage eggs from
spoiling breakage OF dishes per day,
each piece Of which represents coin,
and the smallest dish used Is butter
chip and worth one dime,
The waste which goes TO the garbage
can daily without the restaurant own
er being able TO prevent II, on account
Of the scarcity Of help which the great
world war brought upon us, etc, 49,.
Now II Mr.. Fooks and others Will
only stop and consider all Of the fore
going, | am sure they will agree with
us that the Greek restaurant does not
affect the life OF the working girls, but
they might find the bad effects OF the
working girls life due principally to 20
cent handkerchiefs (the same has been
complained OF by member OF con-
gross). and the $3.50 and $40 pair of
hose. and $50 shoes, and $50 coat suits
for girls. Sincerely,
MICHAEL BERLIS.

When we read an account Of crime
as atrocous as the one for which
Charles MARSHALL was convicted, we be-
lieve in CAPITAL punishment when We
read a description Of gala occasion
such as that afforded by the execution
Of Charles Marshall, and the field day
activities promoted by his hanging, we
doubt the wisdom OF capital punish
ment.
The crime for which Marshall was
convicted and executed was cxtraordt-
narily brutal No punishment Is foo
severe for the perpetrator Of such a
crime, but one Of the effects cf his
execution upon the public mind is that II
inspired no especial regard for the
majesty Of the law It only satisfied
the morbid curiosity Of the thousands
that Travelled to Tupelo to witness as
much as they could Of the final chap
ter Of a grewsome tragedy
Except by change Of venue The
performances did not belong to Tupelo.
The people OF Tupelo are refined and
cultured and had no part in The public
exercises held in their midst
There is no denying the fact that
there is a growing sentiment IN favor
OF the abolition Of capital punishment
This sentiment is not caused by sym
pathy for the criminal, but because
many people feel that capital punish
ment is archaic, out OF date and
relic OF barbarism. II capital punish
ment is to continue it should be car
ried out In tho strictest privacy
In Tennessee the death penalty IS by

A DEFENSE OF THE
RESTAURANT PRoPRlETORS,
100000 aAa@e.saA~A4

To the News Scimitar:
In an article printed yesterday IN Inc
News Scimitar, the writer, Mr.. ID. w.
Fooks, OF Paducah, KY, takes occasion
TO go after the restaurant proprietors
for what he considers profiteering.
While there may he cases where
more than a Giving profit" Is added, |
believe that In most OF the RESTAURANTS
in Memphis the proprietors cannot be
rightfully accused of profiteering.
MIR Fuoks, In his estimate OF the cost
of food, has overlooked some important
items The cost of service. for instance.
must always be considered The food
has to be prepared, before being placed
on the table. and good cook demands
good wages. Walters must be paid TO
serve the food, ice water, napkins, etc:
must be furnished. Then the china and
silver must be washed. Somebody has
to be paid to do this work.
Again, there is the overhead ex-
pense, as business people term 1t; rent,
street in Memphis; lights, fuel, taxes,
insurance, telephones, to say nothing
of many 'incidentals" that are too
numerous to mention
There are enough eating places in
Memphis to keep alive considerable
competition in this line, and 1t stands
to reason II the general run OF prices
could he reduced by even ten or twenty
per cent. and still leave good mar
gin Of profit some Of the enterprislng
proprietors OF these places would make
the cut
The writer is not IN the restaurant
business, hut believes In square deal
for all. and that all the facts should
be considered before any class Of bust
ness. as whole. should be listed as

The War Ia Over.

The Philharmonic orchestra of Berlin,
under the leadership OF Herr Nikisch.
VIII give u concert tour In England next
year This announcement means that
peaceful relations are really going to
be Joined across the bloody chasm. Just
as surely as the blueblrd is the har-
binger of spring.
We are hopeful that this news will
convey an idea to a few bloodthirsty
souls carrying influence with certain
posts OF the American Legion. Last
year Fritz Kreisler attempted to tour
this country, bringing delight to limo
cent music lovers like himself. but in
Louisville and Syracuse and other cities
the DICTIONARIES raised such a racket
and threatened such dire things that
the performance had to be called off
Kreisler's crime was that he was an
avowed Austrian, with hero's war
record behind him; and the worlds
greatest viollnist was badly mistaken
when he thought the war was over
and that America had no malice for q
simple man like himself who had mere
~ done his duty.
The war lasted long enough so far as
England was concerned to satisfy the
anifnosity of all. But America was
handicapped. not staying in so long as
her allies, and many OF us still have
an excess of spleen to vent,
The German orchestras, the Austrian
violinlsts, the Russian pianists are
still superior to our local musicians for
the most part and nothing is more be-
coming than to admit 1t and profit by
their performances. There is nothing
geographical about music anyway. The
local MUSES. all derive from Parnassus
ultimately.

What's In a Name?
BY MILDRED MARSHALL

EVE.
Copyright, 1920, BY the Wheeler Syn
dictate, lnc.)
1t is fitting that Eve, the Oldest name
in the English language, should mean
life" The mother of all living was
originally called by the title Chavva,
which the AleXandrian Jews, coming
upon in their translation, rendered as
Zoe. Later it was Latinized as Heya
and finally became Eve on English lips.
Curiously enough, Eve has never been
popular name in England on old
parish registers it appeared in isolated
instances when a pair of twins was
ehristened Adam, and Eve. But the
Latin form, which became Eve in Ire
land and Scotland, also flourished in
England and became popular in Ger
many.
In this country, Eve has had greater
prevalence than Eva. The former Is
a far more euphonious name, as well
as the finest Of the old Biblical appella-
tives-a fact which appealed strongly
to the Puritans We have also revived
the title of the Alexandrian Jews and
Zoe is frequent in modern times.
