READER. Philadelphia, Januarj 2; The Need of Practical Sense To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger: Sir Governor Sproul, In hln Inaugural ad dress on January 21, "said a mouthful" when he emphasized the need of practical sense In dealing with problems of the com monwealth, rather than "sailing tho tin chatted seas of Idenllsm " Such a refeience has a unique significance Just now, for multitudes of our people seem to have given themselves with religious fer vor to ono or other of the present-day forms of pretense, and thousands are devotees in a perverted Pollvannalsm which brushes aside all unchcerful verities, while exalting their Brotherhood of Bunk Ideal as the sacied force which, In Its universal comple ment, will usher In the millennium With what gratification must this parade of pseudo-optimism be viewed by the prop agandlstH of tho ultra modern cults of make-believe, who have long been huckster ing "New Thoughts for Old And False Thoughts for the True!" And what cacblnnatlons from tho Hun hordes who still hope to benefit by It. All credit to our new Governor he has the right Idea H. MERR. Philadelphia, Januaiy 2.1 "Over the Top" and "Jim Crow" To the Editor ot the Evening Public Ledger t Sir Most of the ytntes of the South com pel by law tho colored people to ride In what nro called Jim Crow cars Tho namo Itself Is an Insult; the law Is nn outrage upon tho lights of American citizens. Some thoughtless white people see nothing wrong in this segregation of those people on rail roads and trolley cars, but this Is what a member of tho proscribed race has to say of. It. "Jim Clow ism Is worse than mob violence. It kills tho soul as well as the bods'. It works, not for one mad hour, but for twentj-four hours in every das'. Its sear's toll of victims Is not three-score, but mil lions. It Is not sudden death. It Is worse; It Is perpetual torture. Mlm Crow ism with public dishonor Is the real, monster. Mob violence Is onlv one of Its manifestations. Inequality of citizenship Is the real monster." A line old colored man of Ambler, whom I knew vi ell, was Daniel Dowllng, of Butler nvenue. Commissioner of Highwas.s of i,,e boinugh. One of his boss, an educated soung man, was conscripted nnd taken to France lo help make the world safe for democ racy He did his part bravely nnd without flinching Theie were no Jim Crow trenches over there; they were all alike, all equally uncomfortable and unsafe The bos's name Is Charles Ralph Dowl lng He writes his experience In the Wattle of Verdun and In tho Argonne sector. He sass' "I was In a seventy-two-hour drive, starting on September 27, and lasting until Oetober 1. It was here we had our first whiff of poisonous gas In the trenches we had to stand in water to our knees and It rained most of the time wo were there We went through wlro entnnglements and aciosa No Man's Line! to the great struggle ot the war. The Huns had themselves well entrenched with machine guns and snipers and thes- put up stiong leslstance. We had all objective to icach and we pushed on, ancl after going thtough wire, woods and brush and the baldest kind of fighting, we not onlv leached our point but went a couple of miles further After this we cer tainly had the boche on the tun. and from then on ho got no rest I had my gun shot out of my hand, ancl I received a flesh wound and anothet bullet went througu inv gas mask, cutting the hose." Charles Ralph Dowllng will not be sub jected to the Indignity of the Jim Crow In Ambler nor In Philadelphia, but 100,000 members of his race, whose homes arc in' the South, who went through similar experi ences on the western front, will, when they return, even before being mustered out. have to enduro such humiliating experiences.

Daniel Webster. WILMER ATKINSON'. Washington Squaie, Philadelphia Prohibition and "the People" 7 ii the Editor of the Kventng Public Ledger: Sir in regaid to sour editorial of Janu ary 17 on the subject of the stampede of the various State LegislaUnes to ratify what Is now tho eighteenth amendment of the Con stitution, sou seem to overlook one very vital fact: that is, that no just government can rule without tho content of the gov erned. It became neceb,iry to take away fiom tho Legislatures the right to choose Senators. Whs V For the wnif reason that It will be necohsary to take away from them the right to pass upon constitutional amendments and other matters involving the rights of the' governed. Even the pioonents of prohibi tion must admit that the Legislatures In the States of Mars land, Iowa, Missouri and Cali fornia, all of whom voted within the last two sears against the drss, misrepresented their constituents. Likewise, the local optlop, elections In New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts can leave no doubt that these communities are "wet" by overwhelming majorities. Delaware. Judging by tho vote In Wil mington (November. 1917), would also appear to be a "wet" State. It Is true that Ohio did voto "dry" last election, but If the soldiers had had a vote, Judging by tho way they usually vote, It would have been another story. Why haven't the people of Illinois. Rhode Island, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Indi ana, Vermont und Louisiana been allowed to voto on this question? The unswer Is that tho Anti-Saloon Leagu feared the result, and that Is why they have "egged" the various Legislatures on to their defiance of the "common people." Prohibition Is no longer a moral Issue. It has becomo Immoral through the way Its advocates have handled the Issue. The Boston tea party was not a protest against a tax, but the principle Involved. Mark Twain, In his "Letters," pays his respects to the legls latlve moral reformer and In his "Connecti cut Yankee." in King Arthur's court, tells the tale ot how even In those days the clergy tried tp rule.

Whistler. If we may take George Moore's word for it, vigorously denounced n kind of shoo much In vogue at one time, because a pedal defect did not permit him to wear them And thus It Is, we suspect, with the New York women who have started a crusade against the dress cut low In the neck. They claim to be laboring In behalf of morals. But morals Is often a word used to camou flage tho underlying reason actuating many a crusader. If the women dress reformers had a neck as beautiful as Helen's of Tros not one of them would discover the faintest antithesis between morals and a low neck dress. M S. Philadelphia, January 20.

Princc68 Pat Renounces Title and Privileges to Wed Brit ish Officer KING GEORGE APPROVES Precedent for Act of Bride Elect, Nor Any Com pulsion London, Jan. 24, King George has con sented to tho renunciation by Princess Patricia of Connaught of both her title of princess and her stle of address as Royal Highness on Ikt marriage next month to Commander Lord Alexander Ramsay, brother of the Earl of Dalhousle. The princess after her marriage will be known as Lady Patricia Ramsay. She will receive a considerable fortune from the estate of her mother, the late Duchess of Connaught. Princess Pat's renunciation of her royal titles probably Is due entirely to a romantla desire- for approximate equality of rank wltth her fiance. Xelher tho British royal mar riage laws nor custom require such a re nunciation nnd no precedent can be recalled for such a step In England. When King George's aunt was married to the Duke of Argyll sho retained tho stsle, "Her Royat Highness Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll," nnd the King's sister, tho Duchess of Fife, also kept her ros'ul tltls, with partial trans mission to her children. The llance of Princess Pat has not prev lously been referred to as Lord Alexander Ramsas', and unless there has been some spe cial grant by the King Is not entitled to that stSle As an earl's brother he Is merely "the Honorable Alexander Ramsa$" and his wife, with no titles' In her own right, would be merely the Honorable Mrs. Ramsas'. It la probable, however, that Princess Pat has) retained her status as a duke's daughter, which would entitle her to the style "Lady Patricia Ramsas-," but she would still out rank her husband one degree In the social calendar, he remaining the Honorable Alex ander, unless raised to the status of an carl's eldest son or honored with a peerage In his own right. In which latter case he would be simply I-ord vllamsay and his wife Lady Ramsas HEALTH EXHIBIT OPENED Proper Care of Body lo Be Explained Each Day for a Week A health exhibit under the auspices of the Northern Liberties Neighborhood Workers, with all the details of pictures and models for the instruction of the public In the care of health, Is now open at the Frlends's Guild, Fourth nnd Green streets.
