Favers League Island Fair Site It the EUtet of the Evening Public Ltdetr: gr i have followed the serlcH of articles in your, paper explaining the different proposed sites for the World's Flr. I henrtfly agree with Jehn T. Halnci' comment of Joinery 10 en these arti cles that only iwe slten should be considered, namely, the old Centennial grounds and the Lcnpie Jnlutid I'nrk ,lte. The advantages et each of these Uf's are many, but I believe thlH gicn objection would be raised by the public, and rightly se, if they knew what would happen te Fnlrmeunt Park In the event of building a great exposition within Its boundaries. It would ncccssltate the demolishing of hundreds of trees, removing ncres of lawn, leveling off many of Its natural slopes, littering It from end te end with Brick, cement. luuiuvr, iniiu uim uu i. the digging of sewers, erection of nu merous buildings, and damaging all Ita beautiful drives by heavy truck. Ale people would have te be kept out of the Park during the years et con struction and then, during 10120. It would he closed up with n Chinese wall and make these who would, enter pay. The destruction of the Park in this manner, and the cost of restoring the Park after 1020. should leave no doubt ia any one's mind that the fair should net be njaccd in Fnlrmeunt Park, but, en the ether hand, should be plared en a large, flat and open aren of ground, itid If possible, en a world waterway, such as the Delaware lllvcr. The Hus Hus eon plan Jitlllztng league Island Park and that area cast te the Delaware River offers, te my mind, the Ideal loca tion for an international exposition. P. NATION".

Which Is the Mere Desirable? ft thi E'titer et the Evening PubHe Ledger: Sir As a constant reader of your People's Forum, and a strong believer in the version of "right Is might." I wish te criticize Mr. Ycnger's opinion en the Debs pardon. First of all. T can plainly see from Mr. Yeagcr's statements that he Is net one of the unfortunates nhe were court ceurt nirtlaled for falling nsleep after doing forty-eight hours of duty. Perhaps he em recall several months hack en the Tenzl cae, the Italian who came te this country and in a period of two months' time had bilked the. American people out of a sum of approximately $2,000,000 and wns nrrcsted and sen tenced by the Bosten courts te serve a term of two years' Imprisonment. New, Mr. Yeagcr. compare the two ruses. Mr. Debs sentenced te ten years for telling the people they were being robbed, and Mr. Penzl's case which sen tenced him te two years for cemilig out cold blendel and actually robbing the people of about $2,000,000. Which Is the undesirable? When nugenc Debs was arrc-tcd In Canten, O., he plended guilty, hut net te the class of people which depend upon their week's wages for a. llvins and net the boys and mothers who sacrificed everything during the World War, hut he did plead guilty te the se-called patriots who Had power te take advan tage of war conditions nnd who wor shiped the almighty dollar mere than "humanity" and the democracy of their country. I am an American and voluntarily gave my services te my country during the war as a reserve onglneer, serving en a powder ship carrying high explo sives, nd with a real American spirit I put my life In Unde Sam's care ami with this mme spirit I say your state ments of Eugene V.

It is the cnslcst kind of task, and n most satisfactory one. 1 became acquainted with n young man, peer but ambitious, in whom no one apparently took sufficient interest te give him n word by way of guidance. I gave him thnt "word": he wns grateful. Today lie is en a fair way te success, ltc member, through his efforts, and my guiding hand. Christian brothers, hew many of you nre willing te make but n small effort te bring about such a result? Christian sisters Us well. Try It, and you have never before been compensated ns you would be by this little effort. ' A few words of advice cost nothing, but you profit In the show of nppreclntlen n hundredfold.
