A Square Deal for Fire Horses
WHAT Td DO WITH FIRE HORSES
To the Editor of Evening Ledger:
Rlr-Thc piircbnse of the old fire horse

Gradation of being made to haul pur-
il?t lenns brl ,,ml t,ortlon of "'
Municipal government whir has charge
cf yiidi animals Into unenviable notoilcty.
IVhcn It became hnown that ".loe." vna
.,ifierlnff from a "fide bono." a private
individual tipon henrinc of this, actuated
tiv the sense of Justice nml humanity,
rescued the overworked imlnuil fiom
further suffering:
We can scarcely hope to awaken am
fccllm? of Interest or sympnthy In a body
' lMn ulio have never made an effort to
cire foi ihclr faithful servants worn out
n the servho of savins life nnd propcrt.v,
, who must be aware Hint these nie

the ZooloRlenl Oardens to be knocked on

To appeal for humaneness f'oni those

Philadelphia might well adopt the
method prnrtleed III New York, where no
(Ire horse la sold, but places ore reserved

ROBBING HISTORY
Te the Editor of Ki cnlaff Ledger.
Sir "The life of l'redeilck Parry Mor
ris should provide Inspiration for every
true American. Coming to this country
from Unglnnd as a boy, penniless. Ilndlng
tils opportunity ns a newsboy on Long
Island, woiklng his way up the ladder
until ho reached the top rung of business
weeess, hiR career stands as a svmbol of
what can ho done hero by grit and per
marancc" News Item.
And Just think, our cruel Child Idleness
Lana will effectively prevent the develop
ment of another Kicdorlck Tarrj Morris,
noys, hundreds of them, will In ov cry age
find themselves as poor and penniless as
4!d Morris as did Lincoln. Why then
ihould not our laws permit such as they
to ascend tho ladder of success by their
Ood-glven light to labor. Veiily, wo
ihould havo education of the joung. Hut
Is It not true that labor nlouo will nvall
the bojs who II ml thomselvcs poor and
penniless. Why should we rob history
of such jewels. Kancy, If ou can, tMc
distress of such a soul crushed by a
prohibition against tho right to labor
tho right to succeed In Bplte of adver
sity. And crushed In Its Infancy, tho
satisfied, affluent portion of humanity
will never know this side of heaven the
ilrf committed. For It Is a terrible sin
to rob God's creatures of noblo asplra
,'tlons. A HEADER.

IN PRAISE OF FORD
'To the Editor of Ex-ening Ledger:
Sir Henry I'ord at the present time Is
the subject of much comment and criti
cism nnd his name Is pcrliups more wldelv
dlscumtod than any other namo In Amcrl
'ca IKnry Ford at the head of a peace
ttxpedllion haB sailed across the ocean to
r.make nn nttempt In stopping the most
'terrlhlo butchering of human lives ever
-rltnesscd In this world, and because of
this glorious object that Ford has In
, View lie Is being stamped as a fool.
tt is not the question of whether ho
will succeed or fall In bringing about
peace, but the vital point involved Is
the fact that he Is willing to try. It was
by trjlng that Fold has reached the pin
nacle of success and fame and from an
obscure beginning ho has become one of
the greatest Americans whose name will
lo down In history.
If Ford's efforts to stop the war piovo
& success he will bo honored nnd hailed
is a man who accomplished more good
for the welfnre of tho entire world than
ny emperor or king.
It Ford should fall In his noble ven
ture no will still bo honored as the first
man who really made an effort to hrln
about peace. It Is much better to havo
tried and failed than not to havo tried
at all.
Let overy one pralso Ford as a mnn
Tilth a will power, a man who Is not
afraid to tnko a chance and a man who
ll remarkahle for his consistency of pei
leverance He throws aside the criti
cisms of the newspapers, ho laughs at
tho discoursing utterances of the hun
dreds of statesmen, ho Is determined to
Xln by reaching the triumphant goal of
uocesB.
It no doubt looks big to Ford and per
haps seems to be a hopeless task to
undertake, but ho faces It bravely, not
afraid of failure If he succeeds well
and good! If he falls he will try again.
What a wonderful country this would
k If tt had just a few" moro Henry Fords!

A DEPENDABLE POLICY
7 (Ae Editor of Evening Ledger:
Sir Tho Tariff Commission League be
lieves that tho country will sufficiently
arouia Itself to bring about the appoint
mnt of a Tariff Commission made up of
wen of the very highest ability All efforts
14 this direction are an absolute waste of
time unless the men appointed on such a
commission are really first-class men,
wen, for example, like Mr. Delano, of the
Federal Reserve Board, who has been
notably successful in practical affairs.
Such men would very soon come to be re
Ufa upon by tho President and Congress
J?r Information and advice In tariff mat
tin. Even the short-lived tariff board of
Mr, Taft gained considerable strength In
Washington, and It may be stated as a
fct that Its Investigations, so far as it
W pursued them, were very fully
vailed of by the members of the Ways
? Means Committee who framed tho
rJ?nt tariff act. 3Ir. Taft has recently
written to the Tariff Commission League
the work of the tariff board was a
valuable work which still survives, and
at he hopes another board will be ap
pointed, . of ,,lfluence In the community are

THE DEATH OF NAPOLEON
To the Editor of Eiening Ledger:
Sir In yesterday's last of the Evknino
J.mxjKii I see it stated that December 14
was the anniversary of tho death of Gen
eral Washington and also of Napoleon
Ilonnpaite.
Now, tills stntement Is correct respect
ing Washington, as every schoolboy
knows the first President of tho L'nlted
States died In the month of December,
170D. Hut, quoting from Scott's "Life of
Napoleon Bonapnrte," we have the fol
lowing: "Tho fifth of May camo amid wind nnd
lain. Nupoleon's departing spirit w.sb en
gaged In a strife moro terrible than that
of tho elements around. The words tete
d'armee (heid of the army), the last that
escaped his lips, showed that his nil ml
was watching tho progress of a heady
fight. At a quarter of 5 ln the evening,
after a struggle that showed the original
strength of his constitution, Napoleon ex
pired." According to tho eminent historian, Na
poleon died on May j, 11121. So, in view
of tho fact so stated, wo think your
correspondent In error when he sajs that
December 11 Is the anniversary of the
great Emperor's death.

Christmas Sense
The Saturday Evening Post is the ideal
Christmas present. Such a gift is not showy
nor costly, but it gives pleasure and satis
faction out of all proportion to its modest
price. Good reading matter is the one gift
whose value may be a thousand times its cost.
Fifteen dollars, for example, will pay for
such a gift to ten friends or employes and
will save you hours of vexation in crowded
shops. Why not have a sensible Christmas
by spending less money than usual andgiv
ing more pleasure than ever before?
Make a list of your friends as long or as short as you choose
and remit a dollar and a half for each subscription. On Christmas
morning each friend will receive from us the first of his fifty-two
issues of the POST, and in the same mail a tastefully illuminated
announcement of the gift (6x9 inches) bearing your name as the
giver. If you prefer, the announcements will be sent to you so
that you may present them personally,
