WHY RISK THEIR LIVES?
To the Krtllor of Kieitlnr; Ledger:
ftlr Uoes It not si cm contindlctory to
the laws of national conservation to put
so mnny valuable Americans lu the way
of Mars?
Could flerman "Kiiltur" endure the
thought of so man) pacifists aboard ono
ship' At this time American enctgy vvhe
better expended In America Jane
Aildams, John AVnnamakcr, Hcniy l'ord
and all the lest of the good ship's pro
pocd company are American assets nnd
as such should be conserved. Men are
more Miluahlc than forests, or trees, or
grain, or nnj of the nation's resources
too valuable to be submarined Into tho
next world whin they nre Illlliifr their
places In this The place thc tire tl
Ing to fill Is even a Httlo largo for Cod
the time for peace Is "not jet!"

DON'T KNOW THEIR PROBLEMS
To the ;,Mllor of livening Ledger:
SirWhat a beautiful themo this makes
If possible It is surprising that these
honorable personages who make up this
peace p irty h tvo not et realized that
their attempt to approach the belligerents
ut this time may be met with a tool
icsponso of "Kindly mind jour own
bUHlnes," and truthfully It would serve
them right
Why cannot Americans some day sco
that, though we have tho dollar patriot
ism, there ore other nationalities whoso
patriotism Is not counted by ti.onej', but
honor, sath faction nnd love of countrj-.
w'hlch monev cannot buy?
Do you know what it Is to havo waited
20, M or 10 j cars, and prcpaintlons, made.
In order to get satisfaction, no matter
what the cost or sacrifice Is?
Well, that Is tho condition at tho pres
ent in Huropc Both sides have been
working for this crv object, nnd every
Individual knew when the time enmo It
was Mi turn. There may be one ex
ception In nationally, but thej are ex
cused because, thej realized, thej- wero
so perfectly safo that no one could nt
tack tilt in. but thej nro waking up to
tho facts which tire occurring at tho
present. Civilization has lis champions,
nnd each In his own way heralds his
own ns tho hist. J-'ometlmes there nio
rlvnl civilizations, i nd when thev be
come powerful and desire to domlnato
then the conillct must bo such as tho
"surviving uf the flt'est"
Such are tho condltiqns. There exist
two civilisations In Kurcpc. In America
wo have unothcr kind, which Is diametri
cally opposite to both of tho European
civilizations nnd would bo nbsolutely re
jected If offered to Europe nt any time.
Do these gentlemen who want to form
a peace congress nt tho present time
have nny Idc.i what It was In 1S71 when
Blsmnrik dictated terms of peace at
Versailles to the Trench representatives.
M Thiers. Gambetta and fJencral Trochu?
How Bismarck gloated over his victory to
M. Thiers, ns ho s.it at tho table In the
Grande Salle, and as Blsmirek said to
him, ho would so cripple Trance that She
would never rise ngiln? Do jou think
the people of Trance have forgotten that
cpoch7 ., ,
That. In consequence of nrccpltnR this
pence pact, the Commune of Paris m-assi-cted
and pillaged their cwn countrymen?
What effect would a forced peaco have
on nil tho Allies nl present, If they hfid
not accomplished their object of crush
ing nn octopus with on Insatiable ap
petlto of acquiring n "world might In
order to repeat their actions of 1871?
Let them think this over nnd no doubt
they will rcntlro their folly nnd let the
belligerents fight to a fln.sh.

strets are being held up for an explana
tion. . , ,
The men around 62d and Market streets
nm not connected with tho organization
In question, but have an organization or
their own, called the 62d nnd Market
Business Association
Mr. F. Ij Davis, president of the Md
nnd Mnrkct Business Association, said to
day: "If the report Is true as rumored,
It was a very tllrfctcnt nffnlr than the
ono recently conducted by our association,
which celebrated Its nnnual banquet the
17th of last month nt the Hotel Mnrljn
Wo had nn entertainment and some

FAVORS SUNDAY CONCERTS
To the Editor of hhcnlnp Ledger:
9lr You nre certalnlj' right in the ques
tion of the Philadelphia Orchestra Sun
day concerts
Hven considering It under the heavenly
point of view, there Is not tho slightest
doubt that tho music given bj the Phila
delphia Orchestra will elevate the souls
much closer to tho Almlghtj'. than the
sing-songs of the average church, which
are, almost without exception, moro like
hellish tunes than nnj thing approaching
harmony
If the ministers fear the competition,
why don't they give something better
than tho announced concerts?
And. anjhow; nro thoso fossil blue-laws
constitutional? Who has In this free
countrj the right to rulo howe are wo
going to live on .Suudnjs? This Is not
tho only countrj In the world Hint has
religion; this Is not tha only country that
hns ministers; but this countrj' brought
to existence In the iiumo of freedom nnd
llbcrtj", is one of tho few countries where
tho clergy Imposes blue-laws, making of
tho day of rest, a day of forced mourn
ing, nnd by that, taking away from the
honest man who works the whole wiek
(round, the onlj' day ho has for the ex
pansion of his soul und the airing of his
body. '
There Is no proof that tho ministers
with their bluc-black-lavvs nre succeed
ing In railroading to heaven anj greater
number of souls than arc admitted
among tho citizens of countries where
they nro not allowed to Interfere with
tho laws nt all; so, let us get tho con
certs ns qulcklj' ns possible, and wo hope
thej will bo tho parting point for tha
bleaching of thoso nonsensical, noncon
stltutlonnl colored laws. IinADUIt.

I Some Plain Facts A bout "Quality Circulation" 10 S
N
"Newspaper Quality"
Makes "Circulation Quality"
O STREAM can flow higher than its source; no
newspaper can achieve greatness beyond the great
ness within itself.
It would be as futile to carry coals to Newcastle or ice
to the polar regions as it would be to offer an article oi
mediocrity to those people who are trained to the apprecia
tion of quality.
A man sets out to manufacture a line of goods with
one primary object in his mind to sell those goods.
This leads to the second visualization: The Class of
customers who will buy the goods.
A man making $2 shoes would not attempt to interest
the buyers of $10 shoes; nor would a man making $20 and
$25 men's suits appeal to the wearers of $6, $8 and $10 suits.
So it is with a newspaper. The publisher fixes in his
mind's eye the audience he desires to interest.
He endeavors, naturally, to make this as wide a circle
as possible, not only in numbers, but in influence and pur
chasing power. For circulation that goes on park benches,
that reaches the "down and outs," that caters to the unsuc
cessful, the malcontents, the "submerged tenth" this circu
lation is of little value to a publisher, and of less value to an
advertiser.
Having fixed in his mind the quality classification of
his readers, he will so establish his journalistic policy, so
maintain his journalistic ideals and so develop his methods
as to please the greater number of such readers.
Hence it comes that quality of circulation is simply a
reflection of quality hi the newspaper itself.
The Public Ledger is printed with an eye single to
those Philadelphians and their neighbors who, while not
necessarily wealthy, are ambitious, able and of a type to
appreciate the substantialities of life rather than its theories
and unrealities.
The Public Ledger puts quality into its columns, into
its news service, into its editorial matter, its special features,
its illustrations and typography; and it naturally follows
that it secures that class of readers who respond to such
appeals.
There are many hundreds of advertisers who have just
this problem in view who wish to reach just this class of
people.
These advertisers find, in the Public Ledger's circula
tion, an already established channel into the homes of the
people they desire to reach.
In the Evening Ledger field there is a broader channel
and it runs further, perhaps because of the Evening
Ledger's one-cent price against the Public Ledger's two
cent price. And yet the Evening Ledger is conducted on
the same clean, high-minded lines as the Public Ledger.
r
The spirit that animates the Public Ledger animates
the Evening Ledger, though the physical garb may be
somewhat different.
The putting of quality into these papers has secured
quality in circulation. Advertisers who want the kernel
rather than the shell will give the Public Ledger-Evening
Ledger serious consideration.
