Pities Pursuit of the Dollar
To the Editor o the Ktent'ip fiiblic l.rdn'r
Sir My critic friend, I-ewls O. Hilton, In
reply to a previous article, would have us
lielleied that all criminal laws aro Intended
tj keep men moral through fea'r- of rhinlsh
rrnt, and for no other motlte except the
"protection of our lles and property. How
about the laws that make It a criminal
oflense to dovcrnte th- Sabbath Day by un-
-cemr commercialized labor or commer
cialized sports and amusements: the laws
that the lde.open Sabbath people are try
ing efl hsrd to repeal? How About the law
miking It a criminal offense to use profan
ity In public? What about the net of
yfarrli 31 1800, of tho laws of Pennsl
rtnta, which sas: "If any person shall
vlllfully, prein-dllatedly and dcspltefullj.
Nai-pheme, or speak loosely and prornneiv
of Almlxhty God, Christ Jesus, tho Holy
Pplrlt of the Scriptures of Truth, such
peraons, on conviction, shall bo sentenced to
par & flne not exceeding $100 and undergo
an Imprisonment not exceeding threo months,
or either, at the discretion of the court"?
Alio read the act of April 22, 1704. which
if too lencth to quote here.
On Rahhnth desecration read the acts of
ItDV of prll 22, 1704, and of February
!9 1S11
A Mell-lino-in legal authorlt), commantlnir
on these laws. sa)s: "Christianity Is ,i
part of the law of Penns)lanln, and mn
r!oul to revile It Is an Indictable ottens.
lut ffllrl and cons'ehtlouslv to promulanto
religious opinions Is not criminal." These
laws are not primarily Intended for the
Protection of life and proptrt, but for the
orotertlon and fosteilng of the Christian
rd'rton, Thei laws do not comp-1 nny one
to to to church. Each person may freely
o tn his own particular church or aflo
at home, Just as he pleases; but he Is re
atrlfted In his pursuit of some sorts of
Jleaaure, sport and gain on the Sabbath
Day, that are specifically regarded as a
Jeieeratlon of that day The pity Is that
there iiws are not more fully enforced.
I Pity the man who Is so possessed with
the spirit of greed that he Invites the right
to ipend every day of the week, every week

"The Leave of Absence"
To the Kttltor o the Iheninc Public Ledger:
Sir In reply to the query of John W.
Smith, who asks for the professor'n answer
tn the scholar who wanted a leae of ab
sence, I think this Is what la desired:
"In promulgating jour esoteric cogitations
or articulating jour superficial sentimen
talities and amicable philosophical or
psj etiological observations, beware of plati
tudinous ponderosity. It your conversa
tional communications possess a clarified
conciseness, n compact comprehensiveness,
coaleacent consistency and a concatenated
ccgency, IJschew nil conglomerations of
flatutous garrulity, Jejune babblement and
nslnlne affectations. I.et your extemporane
ous descantlngs and unpremeditated expatla
tlons have Intelligibility and voracious vi
vacity, without rhodomon'.ade or thrasonical
b-mbHst. Sedulously avoid nil polysj liable
profundity, pompous prolixity, pslttaceous
acllty, entrlloqulal verbosity and ventrllo
qulal vapidity. Shun double entendres, pru
rient Jocosity and pestiferous pmfanltj'. ob

The Caricature "Uncle Sam"
To the Kdttar ot the Evening lublic Ledger:
Sir Will you Inform me of the origin of
the caricature "Uncle fcam"7 Where and
when It first appeared? X, Y. '
Philadelphia. March (1. 1921.
Careful Investigation lends to the conclu
sion that the modern and current cartoon
picture of "Uncle Sam" originated In Eng
land as a caricature of Brother Jonathan,
and was adopted and transplanted as "Uncle
Sam" by Thomas Nast, th founder of Amer
ican caricature and special artist of Har
per's Weekly during the Civil War.
During the yeant of Nast's cartoon work
In Harper-H Weekly he portrayed Uncle Sam
In a great variety of situations and atti
tudes, and his pictures nlways told a story
Once he drew Undo Sam with bell-shaped
hat and striped trousers, but In shirt sleevec
and with an apron, scrubbing something.
Standing by was Miss Columbia, also with
sleeves folded up and saying: "Uncle Sam.
you keep on cleaning the ballot box while I
give the bench n. scrubbing." Sometimes
Uncle Sam appeared with the elephant, also
created bj- Nnst, as tho emblem of the Re
publican party. '

Supplies a Fable
To fj r ;.Jifor o the J'i en(ni7 P-jM(c Lrdatr-
Sir In jour People's Korum John A.
Cooke nskt for the fAble. "The Ilrnhman,
the Tiger and the Jackal " I am able to
supply It.
Once a llrihman of India passed a caged
tiger. The tiger cried plteounly, "Let tru
out. let me out."
"I would be a fool to," Raid the nrahman,
"for ou would eat me,"
"I promise not to." said the Tiger. S
the Ilrahman let him out, but no sooner
was he out than he Jumped on his rescuer.
"Help," cried the Itrahman, "you prom
ised not to cat me."
"Hut j'ou caged me." he said.
"Well," said the Ilrahman. "we shall
ask the first three things we meet and let
them be Judges."
The first thing they met wan n fig tre-.
to whhh they told their storj-.
"Of course, the tiger Is right." It said.
"I have xlavcl for man and given him tigs,
hut nil li does Is to pick more than I can
spare."
The net Judge, the road, said: "I have
slaved for man and let him walk on me,
jet till the thanks I get Is scrnp- nf paper
nnd girhoge and bad treatment."
Tho last Judge was an ox. He, too, agreed
with the tiger.
"Now I shall eat jou!" the tiger cried
"Walt, here comes a Jackal," cried the
poor man.
The Jackal pretended not to understand
"Oh," lie said, "the cage was walking"
"Nof said tho enraged tiger. "I was ln
the cage."
"How?" he asked.
The tiger Jumped In tho cage and the
Jackal locked It, so the Itrahman was saved.

Mi hut over the gates and St, Fetor gave

with the understanding that he must come
dlrectlj out, Hut once Inside the Irishman
stnjed In and locked St. Peter out.
I do not know tho title ot the other, hut
that Is about a lover serenading his sweet
heart (whose name happens to be Maine
O'ltli'lly) from Ixneath her window. While
In the middle ot his serenading a big, black,
woolly head comes out of the window and

When the darkles used to gather 'round

they used to sing and dance at night, and
play the old banjo;
Hut, alas, they cannot do It any more.
The hinges are nil rusty now, the door Is
