Praises Our Courteousness

To the Editor OF the Epenino Public LCdoCr:
Sir-I am but recently returned from
visit to your city and read, while
there. many letters in your column
for and against Philadelphia as City
of Brotherly Love. | have been in
many large cities and never have |
known one more worthy of that title
from many viewpoints. ! didn't visit
Philadelphia with the idea that "Wcl-
come" would be written on every door
mat for me, but ! did find civil, cour-
tcous, kind treatment from every one I
came in contact with. Your merchants
and public servants can well be II good
example for many cities of PhiladCl-
phia : size and importance.
When | had occasion to inquire my
way about no jcrky forcfngcr pointing
in the direction | sought, but instead
the easiest way was painstnkingly
pointed out to me. And surely the
friendly looking homes are worthy Of
mention, especially the apartment
houses.
Where else can one 60 in city trCm-
ing with life and activity and find the
details OF comfort and beauty as in
Philadelphia Beauty isn't sacrificed
for space. Each house has its bit of
lawn. flowers and shrubs tcRdcrly cared
for growing and blooming to capacity.
Surely the people must be friendly to
have all that for strangers eyes to feast
on as well as their own. Some people
want the earth. and ! think Philadcl-
phia has tried its very best to give il
to them. am quite certain that |
would find no difficulty in having hosts
of friends there, and il am ever forced
to live in a city my mail from here will
be speedily forwarded to Philadelphia.
the city of courteOusness, kindness and
hospitality.

Is Uncle BIN SdUed?
What Would You Do?

To the Editor Of the Evering Public Ledger:
Sir--If you were a widow and a rich
Australian would come your way and
buy you a car and purchase diamonds
for you and you felt sure that you could
toy with him on account of his being
in his dotage, would you not be in
clined to make all of the use of him
you possibly could? That is human
nature, especially as applied to Il
widow. She has probably been wear
ing the widows weeds so long that she
is inclined to get out Of the 'tall
grass" and take full advantage of the
conquest she has made and especially
so. recognizing the heart pangs she Is
bringing to her enemies. "Thc Gumps." "
This heart -pang business seems also
the part of widows privilege.

ksed OF Helpinu Hand

To the Editor Of the Epenirp Public Ledger.
Sir--I was interested in reading in
your Peoples Forum recently several
letters pointing out to your readers
the need Of extending the helping hand
to those young men willing to grasp 1T
TO better life, and I was sorry that
the discussion closed 40 quickly. think
It one of the grandest ideas that could
be suggested to n newspaper, to give
writers on this subject every opportu-
nifty to be heard, for It Is the young men
of today who are going to be the great
men Of the future.
Imagine the delight of n man who
had gone out of his way to help young
man to better and nobler things to
find that his efforts had not been In
vain. 1t is the easiest kind of task,
and most satisfactory one. j became
acquainted with n young man, poor but
ambitious, in whom no one apparently
took sufficient interest to give him a
word by way of guidance. gave him
that word; he was grateful. Today
he is on fair way to success. Re
member, through his efforts, and my
guiding hand.
Christian brothers, how many of you
are willing to make but small effort
to bring about such a result? Christian
sisters as well. Try It, and you have
never before been compensated as you
would be by this little effort. A fcw
words of advice cost nothing. but you
profit In the show of appreciation O
hundredfold. I would like to hear
from others on this subject because
am sure there are thousands Of youl
readers who have given this ''word,'
and enjoyed the compensation, and theil
expressions will lead others to do the
| same. Il. A. G.

Which Is the More Desirable? ?

r. the E,,itor Of the EUenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir--As n constant reader Of your
Peoples Forum, and n strong believer
IN the version of fright is might" I
wish to criticize Mr.. Yeager's opinion
on the Debs pardon.
First Of all. / can plainly sec from
Mr.. Ycagcr's statements that he Is not
one Of the unfortunates who were court
martialed for falling asleep after doing
forty eight hours Of duty. Perhaps he
can recall several months back on the
Ponzi case, the Italian who came to
this country and in period Of two
months time had bilked the American
people out of sum Of approximately
$1,000, 600 and was arrested and sem
fenced by the Boston courts to serve
term Of two years Imprisonment.
Now. Mr.. Yeager. compare the two
cases. Mr.. Debs sentenced to ten years
for telling the people they were being
robbed, and Mr.. Ponzi's case which sen
fenced him to two years for coming out
cold blooded and actually robbing the
people Of about $1,000. 900.
Which Is The undesirable?
When Eugene Debs was arrested in
Canton, o., he pleaded guilty. but not
TO the class of people which depend upon
their weeks wages for a living and not
the boys and mothers who sacrificed
everything during the World War, but
he did plead guilty to the so-called
patriots who Had power to take advnn-
tage of war conditions and who wor-
SHIPPED the almighty dollar more than
humanity" and the democracy of their
country.
I am an American and voluntarily
gave my services to my country during
the war as a reserve engineer, serving
on powder ship carrying high cxplo-
sives, and with n real American spirit
put my life in Uncle Sans care and
with this same spirit ! say your state
ments of Eugene V. Debs would apply
far more fittingly to hundreds upon

BIN Needs Home. Loving Wife
To the B.iitor Of the Epentn0 Public Ledger:
Sir-I have watched with interest
the proceedings Of the Gump family. and
we think there is way to solve Uncle
Bins problems. ...
10 is unfair to have man of Uncle
Bins generous nature marry n woman
Of Mrs. Zander's type. She would only
bring sorrow and disillusion into his life.
However, If Uncle BIN desires to
marry, why not find sweet, home-
loving woman, who would make him o
suitable wife? am sure he would
thereby satisfy the whole Gump family.
