Disquieting questions that disturb our

blurred with regret, or the sombre
stains Of remorse. And no, matter
what happiness may have been ours,
there is always something we did or

remember. Shall we make the same
mistakes once more, leave the same

and we turn away, disheartened on the

be neglected and keep them in the
forefront. Of our minds. But to multi
ply rules is a big mistake, for there
is one which, faithfully kept, will
make us both blessing and blessed.
The Rule of Love. Just loving our
neighbor as we love ourselves; serving
him. trusting him, hoping for him.
Refraining even under grave provoca-
ton from saying what would sting If
he said it to us; forgiving him as we,
would be forgiven ); considering him as
we. would be considered; helping him
when he needs it with the, thoughtful
delicacy which makes help acceptable
instead Of humbling; respecting. his
weakness, his prejudice, his inf1rmity;
laughing with him instead Of at him;
and, should there come a time when
sincerity demands, we should say what
we know will not please him, taking
care to blend truth with charity.
All the little rules we make for
ourselves come into line with this one.
The Rule Of Order-oh, how many
New Years have we not begun with
the resolution that we would. not leave
our things about, nor lose them, nor
hide them away! For we cannot be
untidy all to ourselves any more than
we can be i'll tempered and not spoil
someone else's pleasure; and nothing
is more upsetting to already wearied
brains than the fuss and worry of
hunting for things which should be
ready to hand. The Rule Of Punctil-
iousness in little things, that famous
"oiler Of the wheels of life, will make
us both polite and punctual, as we
must be II we would be pleasant to
work with (judging other peoples
preferences by our ownD The Rule
Of Getting Up-In-Time (this almost
deserves all capitals y means, IL kept,
great deal more than our own con-
veniences, since everything we do or
leave undone is bound to react on our
neighbors. .... <. .s.
And even IL we often fail to keep,
even ftfully, the golden rule which
enjoins us to love them as ourselves,
every effort we make in this direction

& AS we grow into the habit Of thinking
OF people kindly we cease to be an
noyed at their peculiarities, and create
an atmosphere Of good feeling in
which they cease to be annoyed at
ours. We must always remember that
the bearing and forbearing is not
needed on our side alone as Thomas
Kempis said long ago, when we find
our neighbor difficult to put up with,
we may be sure9that he finds 1t equally.
difficult to put up with us. There will
always be need for self-control and
patience; but when we reckon up gain.
and loss on the eye Of 1923. in the.
measure we have kept the Rule Of
Love. so one win outweigh the other.

There may be some truth in the

investigation will go to the bottom of
the matter. The charges, despite their

Letters to the Editor
Problem Of hiah Rents

70 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-The illuminating interview witt
Mr.. Williams in the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER suggests to me the added sig
nificance to certain data collected py
the Housing Association in ITS recent
rent survey. One Of the reactions IRON,
the reports which We have puphsneo
OF this survey coming to US from ten
ants all over the city has been thae OUT
experiences in that the average rental
increase which We found prevailing for
approximately 1000 houses was less
than they themselves had to meet.
We found the average rental increase
over 1914 rates for white tenants was
sos per cent. This Is q rental increase
very much larger than the increasca
cost of repairs and maintenance. IN
cluding taxes for the same period
When we distributed the rental IN.
crcases, Tot according to average put
according to the mode We found, inr ~,
example, that Al per cent OF all cases IN
the city we're higher than the average.
In Kensington alone 1875 per cent OF the
cases were higher. In Port Richmond
27.6 per cent Of the properties studied
had higher rentals than the CITY aver,
age. The district north of Market and
east of Broad street had ISL per cent
Of its properties above the city rate,
while in West Philadelphia STA per
cent Of the properties had higher IN
crease than the average for the city
while AZ per cent of the properties hau
rental increases Of over 100 per cent.
The last report of the Bureau OF La
Dor Statistics made for the early
months of 1922 shows that rent IN
creases are continuing. their average
recently taken and based upon tgnres
supplied them by realtors being higher
than for the last quarter OF 1021.
Mr.. Williams rightly points out that
the shortage OF dwellings furnishes the
opportunity for rental increases and
the increase of the supply Of dwellings
will be the economic factor to establish
safe control in this field. 1t rests.
however, with the people to determine
whether adequate relief for what Is an
intolerable rental situation as shown by
our survey can come soon enough
through new dwelling construction.
New dwelling construction will ulti-
mately bring the desired relief. but
those property owners who arc taking
advantage of m economic situation at
a period OF industrial depression to exact
rental returns beyond n normal limit
may force the tenants to seek relief by
legislative measures that. under any
other circumstance, might be OF qucs.
tionable character.

Sees Evil La Prohibition

To the Editor o, tho Evening Pubic LEDGER:
Sir-ln some OF the articles in the
Peoples Forlm offering arguments in
favor Of prohibition. I have noticed
that the bootlegger and the moonshiner
have been called all sorts Of harsh names
and defiled as menaces to our commu-
nifty.
This seems rather inconsistent when
one considers that the bootlegger and
the moonshiner are by products of pro-
hibition. They could not exist without
prohibition. and are just as much part
OF prohibition as the paper on which
that farcical statute is written. Pro-
hibition has changed the dispenser OF
liquor from the licensed dealer to the
unrestricted and interruptions knave
known as the bootlegger. The moon
sinner, by reason of this unreasonable
amendment, has brought the evils ef the
barroom to the home fireside, which is
infinitely worse.
Prohibitionists only offer the moral
eide Of the question, not the practical.
Consider, Mr.. Citizen. what practical
good has prohibition or its haphazard
enforcement" brought to this country ?
None whatever.
However, let US list the evils which
this law has brought upon US in its
wake.
1HS ID uOOuPu WIFI
the worst kind of intoxicating drink--
stuff that the most confirmed drunkard
would have refused before the days of
''prohibition.'
Drespect for all law is universal.
Police and courts are unable to stem
this tide Of unprecedented crime.
Prohibition has added materially to
unemployment - thousands of people
from the farmer, who grows the grain,
to the teamster, who delivers the finished
product, have suffered.
The railroads are clamoring for more
freight. They are losing tens of thou =
sands annually in freight revenues by
the closing down Of the legitimate liquor
industry.
At time when Congress is at loss
TO find new methods of taxation, when
it admittedly lacks the money for q
soldiers bonus. it is voluntarily de-
priving itself Of millions in taxes. The
Government is losing not only the pro-
ceeds from liquor revenue stamps, bu,
the money 1t would collect from dis
form of income taxes. Instead Of re.
ceiving the revenue the Government is
spending millions for the enforcement
OF this undesirable law.
f&y The cities of the country are losin!
thousands of dollars in license fees
This money could be expended for pub
lie works and be giving employment tc
many men.
Many policemen throughout the coun
try assigned to the impossible task o
''prohibition enforcement" could be use,
In guppressing real instead Of imaginar!
crime.
When the Anti Saloon League cease
20 function as the legislative department
of our Government there will be NOR
respect for law. Let popular vot
be taken on this question. am sur
the American people are willing to abid
by the desire of the majority. No self
respecting, liberty-loving American
however, can have respect for a tyran
Zeal law which was forced upon us i

despotism, would have thought twice be
\ fore attempting.
