Thousands of People Come to Wanamaker's Daily to Enjoy the Sights PL 8f Last Monday's Terrible, Bewildering Fog Is Something to Think About The city of London is used lo such fogs, but they have not been common to Philadelphia. The hundreds of stalled auto cars; the crippled machines; the loss of time; the sadness of the accidents, of which there Mere hundreds (according to the newspapers) in and around Philadelphia, are a signal to us that our parks and streets must be made safer, to say nothing of the running of &hc steam trains in every direction into the city, on which so many are dependent to be on time for their day's work. There arc other fogs, however, to be thought of also, some of them infinitely worse, inasmuch as they affect statesmanship in Washington, at Harrisburg and in the Councils of Philadelphia, where there is no lack of mentality, but the prejudices of party and of politics and personal interests that move to action, that make the burdeitis heavier w.here taxation has to raise the money. There are still some fogs in slorekeeping, which we are trying to clear up. We are blessed with good days in the safety, cleanliness unci healthfulness of this big building, where so many thousands of people come daily to enjoy the sights and see each other and have the opportunities Ihtit the new displays of new goods attract every day.
