The 1rlumnh Of Reaction

To the Editor Of the Evening fubHc Ledger:
sir--A famous historian has pointed out
that progress and Justice must have re-
verses. This was proved at our last elec-
ton. when The cause of reaction triumphed
OF the polls. what does reaction mean
In Europe 1t meant the ruo Of the sword
OF Kings, princes and aristocrats. In Amer
lea II conveys a more sinister meaning. IL
means unemployment. want. hunger. hu-
initiation and children denied the necessi-
ties OF life. This is tragedy. We can see
II In every town.
We are all familiar with tho "HardInR
badge" by this time--the pocket turned In
side out. But when we think OF the
blighted hopes our smiles turn TO tears. The
real tragedy Of. the crime of November was
rot the !ngratitude displayed toward Will
son. but that the American people upheld
the hideous cause Of reaction.
There is no excuse for the unemployment.
want and despair In this, the richest ma
tion of the world. Time will reveal the
plot. Imperial Rome gave her unemployed
bread and the circus. Even Nero favored
his people thus far. But our Government
gives us what in this hour OF our humilia-
tion7 II gives us words and tax blanks
Are we stlll a republic7 Has the word,
once sacred. become sham and fraud In

Publish the Lists

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-There Is n suspicious amount of hue
and cry against the publication OF the
Stacker list. There are mistakes in II with.
cut a doubt. but I am willing to wager
enough to prove my conviction that there
are more mistakes OF omission than OF
commission. No permanent injury car
come to aGy by being published az a
Stacker who did his full duty.
Those most interestsd-the soldier and
his friends-will know It's a mistake and
to others It is just a name. But can easily
oee that those whose records are not COM
mendable would be most anxious TO throw
little dust by having those who were
mistakenly Included in the list making much
of II for pubica Jon. Let's have the lists
and then let each community correct these
lists by subtracting its mistakes Of COM
mission and adding the mistakes OF omir-
sion. Personally. despise a Stacker or a
slcker. and would be willing to be pub
lished one every month in the year u
by so doing the real sackers would be
disclosed TO the public.
