Sir A certain few important mew ters of City Council tepkan opper. 1 unity te knock the Administration the ether d.v, when Clinten Rogers Weed, ruff, president of the Civil Service Com Cem mission, nppeared befere them with a request te appropriate money wiui hlch te pay three regular Investigators te de the commission'! Investigating, This request was refused. Jt may be well te state right here that the same men who objected te thh work being done, by the police took refuge behind the cloak of economy 7hen they found lhemmlsslen ready te apply the only 'remedy. Let ni endeavor te sum up who it really at fnult In this matter Council or the Civil Service Commission. Seme tlme age Mayer Moere asved Council for the right te employ 500 additional policemen te combat the nrescnt wate of crime. Council cut this number te : 160 men. thereby prov ing conclusively that It thought that at least this number were required. In icfutatien of the plea of economy, I hardly think tbe stand taken Is vcy Htretig, in view ei me met mut u uu llreman receives $1825 per annum, with an allowance of 560 per annum for uni forms. Against this the ln estimators, lie are required te pats laridl serv c examination, receive 51400 per an- Seme time age Director Cortclyeu in formed City Council that the 000 addi tional policemen were an absolute neces sity for the proper policing of the city. Vs.... ra trn tnTnavers te be deprived of some of the protection of these 150 men se that our Ceuncllmen may have their district idols appointed te de this Tork, se their menus may receive a firerabJe report te which they arc net entitled? . , , , A In this letter I have endeavored te point out two things: First, that I'euncll is ever ready te harp economy ihcn there is any chance of its losing lis grip en the police; second, that we taxpayers are net getting the police protection te which we are entitled. Moreover, I think It is our duty te In struct our representatives te vote nega tively en any measure that would lessen the power of the police force by se much as one man. JOSEPH A. BOYLE. Philadelphia, January 27, 1022. Bays Phlladelphlana Lack Decorum Vn the Editor of tlie Evening PuWe Ledger: Sir Philadelphia Is. in many ways, n wonderful city, and In the three months I have been here I have met nine delightful people. Seme of my ancestors were Philadelphia Quakers and 1 have looked forward with pleas ure te the tlme when I might titudy tlie city. Excepting Bosten, I have pent several weeks in all the large cities of this country, and I never vis ited n city which approached this one jm the general rudeness of the citizens. A simple inquiry Is received ns though Jt were an nffrent. In the shops, en (.he streets. In the restaurants and hotels civility, net te say courtesy, is uncommon. At the theatres nnd concerts, and even In the churches and temples, peo ple lack decorum. Ne matter where one sits he is invariably annoyed by conversation when there Is music or speaking, nnd between times the chat tering is deplorable. Ne wonder one of the large department stores wa closely posted with placards about cour tesy during the holidays. i, There arc many exceptions, as every city has rude people, but In PMladel- Th People's Forum wtU appear dally In the EtKnlnr Pnblle Ledttr. and also In the.

She recognizes that fa- minority In the office breeds contempt, and why should net the sonant in the neme jcci me same wnyY It is he in every ether line of em ployment it seems but that of domestic service. Why should mistresses who employ melds hnvliic nethlne in com men with them be expected te make social companions of them? 1 always show, my mnlds their quarters before I employ them, and will net uccept them if they Shew any Inclination te be dis satisfied. Further than that. I want tnore te knew their place, and I never become familiar enough with them te give them the chance te encroach upon roe. The great treubl.e with most women employing domestics is that they are tee laiy te de anything themselves, and are se anxious te get some one te take the burdens off their shoulder that they will de anything te keep the serv ants.
