LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CARTON,
CnNTINlIEn

Talked with Ruth Burke over the
phone yesterday. She at least seems
to be very happy. Walter Burke
seems very proud of her and lets her
do anything she wants to.
Mrs. Anterior said to me yesterday
that Ruth had told her that she was
still going to keep up that lingerie
shop. don't sec how Burke can
do this for you know he is a multi
millionaire. OF course, Ruth has
made a great success of the shop,
but Mrs. Atherton said that already
she has heard much gossip and CEN
sure of Burke for allowing his wife
to wolk. Ruth spends at least four
hours a day there.
1t was all very we'll for Ruth to do
it when She had to, but now when
she gan have everything she wants
in the world it looks Gas though
Burke was rather mean and stingy.
People are saying that he fur
nished the capital to get the thing
started. l do not know anything

one furnished the money, for Leslie
kept six thousand dollars in her wall
safe for her until she was able to
get things going. We had kind of a
| mix-up about it, and ] was in the
wrong as usual.
The gossip says, however, that
| Burke sent her this money purely as
a business investment, and now be-
cause it is doing so we'll he doesn't

Says

Things are so quiet in Mexico you
can hear oil stock paying dividends.
Every man likes wife who flirts
unless she is his own.
. Only time some men want to stay
at home is when friend wife wants
them to take her to show.
We would like to see fight to the
finish between the fool killer and the
JOY killer.
The great China question, as seen
in most of our homes, is, "Who will
wash the dishes?''
The man who makes a fool out OF
himself always claims someone else
did it.
Only a few more weeks in which
to pay the bills you ran up last
Christmas.
On Thanksgiving, we can all be
thankful we are not turkeys.
Some of those who toll not drinl
bootleg and spin.
The poor are with US always, but
often the rich are against US.
Time is money, and the only wa!
you can really save time is by saving
money.
The farther bad news travels thu
bigger it grows: the farther goot
news travels the smaller it grows.
A stingy man eventually gives
himself away.

AN AIR.POST PASSENGER
PHILADELPHIA Bulletin)

The San Franciscan who wants to
mail himself to New York by air is
not discouraged by the fact that his
1874 pounds avordupois demands
ssl7.o7 postage for the trip, but the
poStofficc in California is doubtful
whether it can accept him for trans
portaton, and has asked the postmas-
ter general for ruling on the mat
ter.
In a country where so many people
are willing to pay $25 or $50 or 500
for short airplanc trips, the postofrice
might find its facilities overtaxed, if
the air service should be made avail
able for passenger transportation,
even at regular postal rates. There
is a quite general curiosity to eXper-
fence a lengthy air journey across the
country, but the dcvelo pment Of pass
cnger service Of that kind in the
United States has been practically
nil
In Europe air routes couple up
most Of the leading cities, and some
OF them regularly carry not only
passengers, but parcels. Air travel
between London and Paris is heavy,
and a great many Americans would
hardly regard visit to Europe as
complete without crossing the chan
mel by this means.
A regular line carrying passengers
by air from Philadelphia to Wash
ington and Norfolk would afford a
scenic route of great interest, and
might easily offer unusual opportun-
tiles to cover the historic area be-
tween Richmond and Gettysburg
Why does America lag so far behind
Europe in commercial flying?

cept that l have q very forgiving
disposition certainly would not do
this because in your letter to me
you virtually told me that there was
no place for me in my sons home.
1t is dreadful thing to grow old
and helpless and know that you are
friendless, know that the son that
you brought into the world in travail
and pain has left you for another
and that that other dcspises you.
However, my Bible has told me
that one should forgive even unto
seventy times seven and so am
writing to you, Leslie, to know if
there is any truth in this gossip
which-while it is not anything de-
trimental to your character-is but
something of which: my son would
greatly disapprove.

and is now on her way to a cousins

to stay with the cousin to whom she
had gone directly from here but she
found that cousin had changed great

or criticism about her home or her

On April Is, 1916, LaFollettte op
posed the Brandegee amendment in.
creasing our army to maximum
strength of 100000.
On March II, 1917 he voted against
authorizing the president to supply
American merchant vessels with gun.
to protect themselves from German
submarine attacks.
On April a, 1917 LaFollette voted
against the joint resolution declaring
war on Germany. The Lusitania had
been sunk by German submarines
prior to this time.
On April 4th, LaFoliette made a
speech criticizing Great Britain and
praising Germany.
On April "a, 1917 -LaFollette OPP
posed the compulsory draft service
bill and referred to the transporta-
ton of American troops across the
sea as desperate and foolhardy
undertaking"
Following this, LaFollette voted
against the National Defense act.
On September 10, 1917, LaFollette
voted. against the War Revenue bill,
which was necessary to furnish food,
clothing and ammunition to our boys
in France.
On September 20, 1917, LaFollette
made his st. Paul speech. Prior to
this speech, which caused so much
it is clearly seen that La,
Follette's support of the United
States in the great war, was not Of
a wholesome kind. His st. Paul
speech in effect, said that anyone
who travelled in ship carrying am
munitions must be held to have as.
sumed the risk of death from sub.
marine attack. The fact is that Ger
man submarines torpedoed vessels
without stopping to inspect ship man
tests to see if ammunition was
aboard.
