When a City Is Young
To the Editor of Ihr liven nrj vbl c I, ilnrr
Sir Unihr th edltor'nl heading, "Wha

paper 'commented last evening on tho lately
developed housecleanlng methods of D-trolt,

In commending that city's wlnlrg out of
Its old abuses In such an Incredibly short
tlmo as 'hree jears, you say, "T'lls Is w'it
happens In a young and growing city facing
tho .future."
Perhaps the editorial writer was not
aware, of the fact that Detroit -Is. I bellev .
but twenty-five (25) yean younger ban the
city of Philadelphia, having been settled by
the French under Do la Motke Cad'llac In
'701 It Ip one n' tV (as things i-o In
this country) old cities of our republic,
and has a history which cen era pre-reolu-tlonary
Inclden s that every American chill
should know who lays claim to honor in
the stock from which he comes.
The prominence Detroit has ntta'ned as th
center of the. automobile Industry Is modern,
and astounding to those In touch with the
old dns Hut befi'o tha, for 200 eirs. it
existed for many different slmplo and beauti

'A Regular Asks for Justice
To the ViK'lor of thc Rven'na I'tibl r I. tlner
Sir And now came our enernblo Sen
ators and Representathes with a bill recking
with Injustice.
Tho bill In question Is one passed under the
provision of Section 9 of the act entitled.
"An Act to Authorize the President to In
crease Temporarily the Military Establish
ment of the United States." und Is In efTta
as follows: All officers and enlisted men of
the military or naval forces of the United
States, who have been apppolnted, enlisted or
Inducted Into the service of tho United States
subsequent to April G, 1017, and on or prior
to November 11, 1918, are to receive a bonus
of $60 upon their honorable discharge from
said service.
This magnificent nnd beneolent act of
Congress Is, no doubt, an answer to the ap
peal of the cltlztns of the United States, who
have been ngltnllng a bonus ever since war
has ceased, which agitation has been a Just
one. But. inv dear readers, did the citizens
of tho United States mean to utterly disre
gard. Ignore and scorn tho service of the
regular who enlisted prior to April 6, 1917?
Am I to understand that the regu'ars who
were the backbone of our forces In Franco,
the men of the Fifth an Sixth Regiments of
Marines at Chateau-Thierry, together with
the old-timers of the army who saved Paris,
the old-timers who have dono Uncle Sam's
dirty work in Haiti and Santo Domingo, men
who have hiked miles and miles through tho
burning sands of Mexico, men wlo havo
knelt beside stagncnt pools of water In the
Philippine Islands to moisten their parched
throats: am I to understand that these men
are to be trented like dogs at this tlmo when
Congress Is handing out congressional
medals? I UBk you In all squareness and all
fairness Is this not In direct contravention
to' our constitutional law, which provided
that there shall be no class legislation?
And you ask what causes Bolshevism!
But no; the regular of the United States
service has been la pow and always wilt
be an object of scorn and his "congressional
medal" will be $14.50 and a horse blanket
after the glamour of war ceases.
We have billions for our poor foreign
brothers and staters, but not a cent for our
own, discarded regular, who saved them from
a more hellish fate,
Is there a remedy? Yes. When tho citi
zens of the United States wako.up to the fact
that they are shipping, charges prepaid, car
loadj 0 concrete to udori the chairs of our
congressional chamber, then and not until
then 'will our wrongs be righted.

To (he Editor of the Evening I'ubllo Ledger:
Sir I went'lnto a well-known restaurant
for breakfast I ordered oatmeal, bolloi eggs
and toast nnd coffee without cream. The
waitress brought the cereal and sort of threw
It before me vtrry much as we used to throw
the contents of the swill pall Into the trough
In the pigpen, back op the farm. I guess
she knew I was from the farm. Then the
waltrrea went over In the corner and looked
the fashion plate of the Sunday paper over,
I had to ask her If she would please give me
a glass of water and a napkin. Then she.
brought the ecca with roll Instead of toast

Conductor, (lennaro Tap!
The nges-old struggle between poverl),
nrt nnd love ns typified by the four scenes
urcinJiod out of Henri Murger's "Lu Vie dc
Boheme" and made to servo ns the libretto
of Puccini's opera. "La llohemo," was given
n rsiillstlo and consistent renresentatlon by
tho Metropolitan Opera Company last eve
ning. As it was a Caruso night, there wns stand
ing room only, and not very much of that.
Tho performance as a whole was well bnl
nhci'd rather than brilliant. If n brllllnnt
performance of this dismal Btory U ever
pos-slhle The cast was a notable one, com
bining in about equal proportions nbllity to
sing their parts and to net them.
Mr. Caruso, of course, was the star of the
evening He was In fine volte and k.iug beau,
tlfully, barring a slight tendency to "scoop"
tomo of his higher noliK. but lie carried oft
the part both vocally and dramatically so
well that this technical slip can hardly be
counted. Montesnntu as Mnrcello. the scond
tnalo part, sang nnd acted well, and the
others of the Bohemians. d'Angelo ns Schau-
nard and especially do Seguroln as Colllne,
did their parts with equal skill The cn
cml.le acting of these four was exceptional,
the dlfferinee between the actual gaiety of
th tlrst act. when Schaunard nppeara with
teal money In his hand, and the mock hilar
ity of the last act being brought out with
artistic subtlety.
In the female parts the chief honors natu
rally went to Claudia Muzio ns Mlml. She
sang well and acted the difficult part us well
nM she sang It. Leonora Spnrkrn made a
fairly good Musetta. appearing to belter
advantage In the womanly character of the
last act than In the coquetlsh part demanded
In the second. Vocally she was good through
out nnd her quarrel with Mnrcello, which In
.the third act forms so strong a contrast to
tho love duet of Rodotfo and Mlml, was t?o
well done. n to endanger the solemnity of
tho latter scene. The librettists get the com
edy characters off the stage In this scene
none too soon
There nre few set pieces In the opera, but
there Is little modern music which can com
pare with that of "La Boheme" In Its lllus
tra'lon of the various shiidia of gaiety, tend
derness nnd pathos and In Its remarkable
delineation of human emotlosis In fact, tho
history. of the opera docs not show runny
works In which the music carries out' with
such complete fidelity the emotional content
of the libretto.
Among the best numbers of last evening's
performance were the love duet In thc tlrst
net between Rodolfo and Mlml, "Ml chln
mano Mlml." closing with Rodolfo's out
burst, "O Soave fanclulla," the waltz of
Musetta In the second net. one of the chief
melodies of the opera, which recurs con
st.intly. with different harmonies, and tho
pathetic duet between Rodolfo and Mlml In
tho last act, "Sono audntl? Flngeos dl dor
mlre." TF.LLS OF PRISON REFORMS
"Human Wreckage' was the subject of a
lecture by Dr S C. Schmuchcr. delivered at
a meeting of tho rhllndt Iphlu Mothers' Club
at the Art Alliance, 1823 Walnut ktreet, yes
terday Doctor Schmuchcr reviewed tho con
