70 the Editor o. tss Evemtns Public Ledger:
Sir-I have read with interest most
OF the letters you have printed on the
servant question. and I believe the real
reason for 30 much tiscontentment is
the present attitude Of women on most
subjects. not alone in the home but IN
public life. The present employees of
labor In the kitchen no longer feel any
responsibility In the home, through their
desire to get into bigger things in the
great world Of politics, economics, pro-
The consequence of this Is that they
do not look upon the servant as q cook
and cleaner, but as q maid OF all work,
and in this work they even include the
taking care Of the children, the. part
Of 4 seamstress. and every sort Of care
that enters into the home life. The
servant Of today gets much more money
than the servant Of yesterday, but there
Is much greater demand upon her time.
The majority Of servants work fifteen
hours day out Of the twenty -four for
the reason that the mattresses Of today
are not willing to turn their hand at
anything. II husband finds any.fault
with the conditions or neslects In the
home. he is told that one servant can
sideration on the part Of the wife
but the husband knows full we'll the
trouble. and that is that the wife takes
no part in the duties Of the home. which
is her part Of the contract when she
takes the marriage vows. Things are

the country enter more and more into
the life on the outside Of the home.

why Ex.soldiers Demand Bonus

70 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--We hear so much criticism to-
0ay against giving the soldiers a bonus
or deferred compensation or whatever
they nav call it. for the loss they sus Z.
tained on account Of the World War.
I believe the American who went into
the war is Just as patriotic rs those
who fought in any Of our nations wars.
but conditions in previous wars were so
different. The powers who control our
destiny try 10 cast reflection on the SOL
,liers for demanding money in return for
their services.
Why shouldn't they? Was the Gov
ernment patriotic? No. Few of the rich
mems sons went INTO the service-the
Roosevclts were an exceot:on-and #
they did they were given safe bcrths
abroad as we'll rs at home. The rich
incn of the country were not patriotic
when they tried TO fleece the Govern
ment on all sides through army CON
tracts and in other ways. Many thou
sands Of rich mems sons were kept out
Of the service and were given preferred
positions at home. .. ..'
The Government saw fit to pay the
soldiers dollar n day, but gave those
who stayed home work in the Govern.
nlent pants ut tHaC price pcr ncuT-uuu
very much more in many instances. To
add to this dispnragement, the Gov
Crnment raised the prices on everything
at home it controlled and did not
stay the hand of the prOfiteer. who
ground down the soldiers families to
the extent that they could hardly exist.
The service men are angry ut the
way they were treated, and ] believe
Justly so. and therefore, like all other
Americans, they want to get all out OF
it they can. and the small amount Of
bonus that Is asked is only going to
compensate, in a. meager way. for the
loss they have sustained. For this reason
the men of the American Legion are
fighting for equal rights. and they de-
serve and are going to win.
