A Critic Of the EnuIish

To the Editor Of the EVe~ino Publio LEDGER:
Sir-Have read the two letters In the
Peoples Forum In re the diatribes by an.
other Engiishman-''Mrs W. l.. T." and
Mrs. W. L. f." Some people think that
women are not patriotic. but the letter by
Mrs. w. l.. T." in Fridays EyEsisa PUBLIC
LEpoBR shows that women are far more
patriotic than most men,
For 40 years American men have stood
all kinds Of insults and carping from every
class of Englishmen. from the dukes on tours
to the sparrows In Kenslngton.
The Englshman IL the most supercilious
egotist floating around the globe. The Eng
lish are Jealous Of US because Of our great
advancement in science, utilities and in
ventions and show their envy by their inbred
habit Of fault-fndIng. Many 20 80 far as
to claim that they had the telephone, type
had 'em, don't cher know. The inventions
they can't plsgisrise. they adopt under an
other name, as lifts for elevators; corridor
for vestibule cars. etc.. etc
As to tho Yankee twang the English are
80 apt to talk about, I would say they know
for a fact that the enuneiation and pro-
nunciation of American men and women IL
far clearer and moro distinct than the
mumblinB Of residents OF Bunnen or Breen-
magen. You have to ask many EnElishmen
two or three times what they are saying
before you can get their meaning.
Mrs. w l.. F." In todsys EVENING PrB-
LILO LxDozR. In taking sides with the Eng
lishman, says American women nre retro
grading" Sure they are; many are getting
anglicised and want to be English. don't
cher know.
Could YOU imagine an American gentleman
or Frenchman travelling In a foreign coua-
try and pointing at things different from
those at home. as bunsles. faults and
''nukes"7 MRS. NJ. II. JOHN.

Then II you show the least bodness Of

But keep straight ahead. don't stop to ex-

"PeopIe viii Talk"

To the Editor Evcnir1 Public Ledger.
Slr-Will YOU please print In the columns
Of your. Peoples Forum the poem entitled
People VIII Talk" which have not seen
for years. but which was in many of tho
early school readers7
CMrs) ELEANOR T. LBAMY.
Philadelphia. November 27. 1920.
PEOPLE WILL TALK
We may 20 through the world. but twill
be very slow,
II we listen to all that Is said as we 20;
Well be worried and fretted and kept in
a stew.
For meddlesome tongues must have some
thing to do
For people will talk.
II quiet and modest. twill then be pre-
sumed
That your humble position is only as
sumed
You're n wolf in sheep's clothing or else
you're a fool:
But don't get excted--keep perfectly COOL
For people will talk.
II generous and noble. they'll vent out their
spleen;
You'll hear some loud hints that you're
selfish and mean.
II upright and honest and fair as the

Wages and Prices

To the Editor Of the EpcrirD Public Ledger:
Sir--we read much about ths cost Of
raw material coming down and the manu-
facturers are blamed because there Is not
a coming down In the price of the manu-
faCtured article. This IL a subject that will
bear much discussion. I should like to cite
an example In my own business. The cost OF
yarns used in the manufacture OF our prod
uct has dropped So TO 40 per cent The
cost Of rubber has dropped frorh ~ to ~ per
cent--yet the difference in the cnst of the
finished article is only one and one-ouarter
cents. The finished article requires only a
small amount OF material; the balance OF
the cost is overhead and cost Of labor. The
union scale being paid our men constitutes
nearly so per cent of the cost Of the finished
article, and until the union will accept a
I eduction in the scale It will be impossible
to market the finished article at a lower
price.
Low prices and moderate wages are far
better for unorsaniLed labor. Just as high
wages and high prices are beneficial to or
sanized labor. A clerk, unorxanixed. earning
$40 a week four years ago. is now earning
about $50 laborer, organized. earning
SIS . week four years ago. now earns $40
to S45. Both must pay the same price for
everything purchased. Let the middle class
commonly known as the public, think this
over. D. +. +. STEVENS.

Farm School Picture Explained

20 the Editor Of tho Evsnimn Public Lsdoer'
slr-I would like to reply TO the Mont
sonery County Farmer" The National
Farm School speaks for Itself by It's repu-
tation. but we cannot resist answering such
Q remark as was passed about the way
we are taught to milk. We spent good
half-hour trying TO convince the photoEra-
phers that milking on the left side OF
COW was impracticable, The photograph
however. could not be taken with the COW
standing tho other way, 30 we were con-
vinesd that II would not be noticed
However. u the farmer from MontgomerF
county would try to milk one or our cows
from tho left side. will assure him that
he will be kicked as far as with his own
cows There Is a certain breed OF cows
that are MIXED only from the left side, but
these cows are scarcely found outside OF
Texas.

but had to show that our teaching Is OF

not the case. All are sufferers both em
pioyers and employees. and tho present de-.
preston could and should bring about more
friendly relations between capital and labor.
The employment OF labor is a bargaining
and should be a mutual agreement, but or.
ganized labor Will not allow this Their
dictum Is the union alone fixes the wages
and II you wish your labor you must nav

unwilling TO pay your wage and rather than
pay It will do without your labor Tn.
result: Business stsgnation and pinchlna
