Letters te the Editor
Colonal Puaav and Sanater Eyr
Te the Editor e the Kvenlafl rtjlie Lttetrt
Sir Colonel Fred Tayler Puscy a
name appears en the glass f rent et nir
offlce deer in the Wldencr Building aa
counsel for the Delaware River Mridge
Joint Commission. -The newspapers re
fer te him as Deputy Attorney Central
et Pennsylvania. Dees he .held both et-
llcea and docs ne receive icraunt"..-.-..
hnti nf etmm whlU. directing a
political campaign as the adjutant, te
at the Alter hcadauartcrs in the.Belle-
Vue-Stratford? . . ,
It M impossible te nnd uoienci ;
at hla law office nt any hour of the nay.
He la evidently se absorbed In the cam
nivn flmt hn In nuetcd In an evening
paper aa predicting that the Alter ma ma
ierlty ever Plnchet en May 10 will run
into six figures. '
TVI.n hinninul In TndtnnS TUCSday
Jast in all probability merely fercshad-
ewa what win nappen in reDnBn"'
next Tuesday weeK, witn greater em
phasis. It la net a question of Mr.
Alter or Mr. Plnchet individually, It
is the long retarded hand of .rebuke
about ready te fall with a thunderous
thwack ; nnd you mny rest assured tnut
the thwack will be heard.
Mr. Kyrc.'who seems te be entirely nt
the helm at the Bellevue-Stratford
headquarters, must realize that there
are many of the elder voters of his gen gen
ratien in Pennsylvania who recall the
plundering of the State revenues in the
State Capitel Jeb. One might ponder
whether newspaper files of that date
had been destroyed that the managera of
the Plnchet cnmpalgn have made no
reference te the Capitel rooters ana me
infamy they brought en the State.
Its only significance in this campaign
Is the fact that T. Larry Kyrc appears
te no running the Philadelphia end of It,
Colonel V. T. Puscy merely functioning
as a handy man at his elbow.
EDWIN P. HENRY.
Philadelphia, May 4, 1023.
Why He Favers Wine and Beer
Te th Editor et the Svenlnp Futile Ledeert
Sir In answer te Mr. Martin L-.
Fester, whose opportunities for observ
ing the various manifestations of hu
man nature must be sadly limited : Mr.
Fester insistently aaks "What de we
want with beer and wine? What de we
want with beer and wine?"
Ne, swecthenrt, the answer Is net
"Pretzels" ; we want only and pre
cisely just what mankind always has
wanted ever since the world began.
ProKibltlen has caused millions of peo
ple who previously enjoyed beer nnd
wine te turn te whisky. These geed
folks would naturally welcome the re
turn of beer nnd wine. Other people
who nttaln only Indifferent success with
their home-brew and home-made wine
nre also desirous that the real goods
should be brought back te where it
belongs.
Still ethers there be who view with
alnrm the spectacle of homes turned
into breweries nnd distilleries se that
even the young girls nnd the little chil
dren, nre becoming addicted te the use
of strong drink.
That's what prohibition hns done for
us and still some blind fnnntlc will
stand up and bay at the moon, "What
de we want with beer nnd wine?"
CHARLES DUNCAN.
Philadelphia, April 129! 1023.
The Constitution and the People
Te the Editor et the Evening Public Ltdatrt
Sir New that the Chief Justice and
Associate Justices of the Supreme Court
of the United States have come te
Philadelphia and rcdedicated the re
stored edifice at Fifth and Chestnut
streets, where under the Constitution
were held its first sessions, may we net
Indulge the hope that that tribunal will,
without delay, restore te the people of
the United States the government
which they ordained and established,
and redcdlcnte te liberty the Constitu
tion of the United States?
The structure of the government
erected by the Fathers of the Republic
in the group of buildings en Chestnut
street between Fifth and Sixth, by dis
use and abuse has become quite as
unrecognizable as were the buildings be
fore their restoration. And new that
the buildings hnve been restored, what
could be mere appropriate than a res
toration of the people's government
which these buildings typify?
Although the preamble te the Constitu
tion framed there declnres, "Wc, the"
people of the United States te
secure te ourselves and our posterity the
blcslngs of liberty, de ordain and es
tablish this Constitution," the agencies
of government hnvc new declared it te
be the law of this land that the people
have no direct voice in altering op an
nulling the powers of the government
which they ordained nnd established.
The sovereign power which the people
by the Constitution expressly reserved
te themselves hns been by the agencies
of government transferred from the poe-
pie te governmental ngents. in ine sev
eral States of the Union the people have
been separated from their own Legis
latures in the net of rutifying an
amendment te the Constitution of the
United States. They have been told
that these Legislatures, which they cre
ate by their State Constitutions, de net
receive from them the power te ratify
an amendment te the Constitution of
the United States, but that that power
Is conferred en the Legislatures by the
Constitution of the United States. In

Many People Prefer the Old Werd
Te the Editor of the Evening Pl UUn
Sir One of he VlmpertanV things
te be' taken up at the General Con
vention nf thn frnUmnal Hlllirch. WhlCU
Is te assemble In Portland, Ore., next
rail, according te a church paper wnin
fell into my hands n few days age,
is a proposal te make a change in tue
marriage ceremony by substituting tne
word "fellow" for f,ebey," which Is
the present form df the brlde'a premise
when she plights ber troth with the
bridegroom. . ,.
Which causes me te -wenaer wnemer
n geed many of the prospective hus
bands wouldn't prefer the old, word,
which modern marriages, at least, have
proved te be uttered in a Pickwickian
sense. There are lets of men anyway
who don't want their wives te joiiew
them tee closely. A. CVNIOU8.

Questions Answered
Legislatures and Legislation
Te tht Editor et the Evenine Publio ledger!
Sir I shall appreciate It vemtnuch if you
will, threush the Pceple't Forum, answer
the following questions.
When and where dd Stat Irttlilatures
meetT
Hew long de they serve?
CLTZAnF.TH KAPLAN.
Philadelphia, May S. 1022.
Legislatures of the aiieut Statet vary In
the frequency of their rerular slttlns.
Seme meet every year; ethert every two
yeart. In addition, epiclal or extra tet tet
alent are aometlmes held at the call of the
Governer. The State capital! are the placet
of mcetlng. Tbe Ptnnavlvanla Legislature's
regular aeealent are held at Harrleburg,
Pa., every alternate year. Termt of service
for State lawmakers vary In different States.
In Pennsylvania members et the Heuse, or
Representatives, are elected every two yearn,
while members of the Senate, or State Sena
tort, held office four ytart.
Yeu ask for examples, of a State ordi
nance and of a city ordinance. Probably
you mean the form of enactment. In enact
ment of a "bill" the legislative phrase Is
"Ba It enacted, etc.," while In the passage
of an "ordinance" by Council the wording Is
"Be It ordained," etc. mils require the
approval of the Ooverner or their passage
ever his veto te make them laws, while or
dinances mutt have the approval of the
Maer or be passed ever hit veto te become
effective.

Sir Where Is the main office of the
Western Union Teletraph Company In Phila

Te the Editor et the Evening Publio Ledgert
Sir Will you please tell me the size of
the se-called "Hepe diamond" and some

LUCT M. CHARLES.
Frankford. Philadelphia. May 2. 1022.
The blue diamond known as the Hepe dla dla
mend welshs forty-four nnd a quarter carats.
It Is supposed te bfl part of a stone that
ence belonged te Leuis XIV, of France,
which weighed uncut 112H carats and six-ty-seen
and a half carats after cutting.
The stone -was lest In 1702, and came Inte
the market In 1R30. when It was bought by
Themas Henry Hepe, nn English banker,
whesa daughter married the Duke of New
castle. The latter't brother, Ierd Francis
Hepe, who married May Yehe, an American
vaudeville actress, came Inte possession of
the gem. which toen went Inte the market
a sain, and In 1800 It was purchased by
Mrs. E. K. McLean, of Washington, for
180,000. Lenend haa been busy with the
history of this diamond, and talea of 111
luck te the possessor have been eagerly

TODAT IS YOURS
Sura this world It full of trouble;
I ain't said It ain't.
Lord! I've had enough and double
Reason for complaint.
Rain and storm hae come te fret me:
ikies were often gray;
Thorns and bramblen have beset ma
On the read but. ssy,
Ain't It nne today?
What's the use of always weepln',
Makln' treublit last?
What's the use of always keepln'
Thlnkln' of the past?
Each must lave hla tribulation,
Water with hit wine.
Life, It ain't no celebration.
Trouble? I've had mine.
Hut today Is fine.
It's today that I'm'a-tlvln',
Net a month age,
Havln', lealn', talcln'. gtvln'.
As time wills it se.
Yesterday a cloud et sorrow

It mny rain again tomerrow:
It may rain but. say,
Ain't It fine today?
