COMMUNICATED. “We Are Not Living In Utopia,” and “How Poor People Can Be,” So What's The Use? New Britain, Conn. Jan. 14, 1916 To the Editor of the Herald: My dear Sir.—First thanks for the favor of space for this letter; es- pecially as it is to say disagreeable things. It's tardy, but cven at this | date, pertinent. All of us, I'm sure, who ever think) have long since realized that we are not living in Utopia; that the existing order of things, weighing so heavily on some while it brings superfluous prosperity 1o others, is all wrong—but inevitable, too! At the same time we who already are sufficiently troubled vainly trying 1o make ends meet with paltry sal- aries, need not stand meekly by and | acquiesce without at least a word of protest, when our sufficiently pros- perous brothers with calm imposition, plan to make our financial difficul- ties still more complex.

Maybe, the honored father of “One who knows’ was the last of the noble line—hence his kindly word! I like his pleasant generous- hearted letter.

It is intention | 5 the | their | vear. But I'm naturally thinking of my | own end of the problem—and the | same problem belongs to large mass of the people! The war may have filled the coffers of some but it leaves many of us as poor as ever (Thanks to heaven, when one thinks a ! of the war-effect in other terms, then those of gain!) Some of the factory hands may have received the muni- ficent- increase of a dime a day but probably on the same day, meat or ugar went up—and they were as poor as hefore. And how poor peo- ple can be! Because they come forth, dressed decently, we have no idea of the planning and sacrifices that make Jiving a hardship. Somebody in the family is almost always sure to be sick sometime or times during the Tho doctor is necessary. A bill is inevitable, and the fath someone must do many a day's ual labor, to pay that bill. No ques- tion is raised as to the Doctor’s hav- ing earned and deserved it—but is he not sufficiently paid with $1.50 for the average call, varying from 5 to 15 minutes in length? Why should he now ask for the same service? Medicine may be more costly, but do not most physicians merely leave [ us prescriptions for which we pay the increased rates to the local druggist? Our doctors may not be rich but are fairly comfortable and prosper- perous enough. Consider them and judge. Of course the biginners may not be gilded yet—but a few years of near-proverty are to be expected in most professions. But if the majority are fairly comfortable and prosper- why make many other people uncomfortable than they al- are? i more ready To the prices have risen (1 suppose the doctor ed in the category sities.) but we all know that in man cases, prices have gone up unneces- ;, to satisfy the greed of those powerful enough to be unjust with impunity. But is the dignified doctor to join | the sordid ranks of the money-grab- bers? If he sincerely, honestly feels ' that he earns $2 during his average call varying from 5 to 15 minutes in | length let him ask for it! and if he merely considering the deficit in his earnings caused by the dishonest, worthless, “dead-beats,” who pay no bills; if he finds his palm vulgarly iteh- | ing for just more money—Ilet him ask for the increase, too!

Chance To See Big Baitie. (New London Day.) If the great battle éxpected to. be staged around Saloniki actually takes rlace, as there now seems every rea- son to believe that it will, it would seem probable that very much more of its events will become known to the world than has been the case with any of the other large conflicts of the war. As the theater of war is neutral s0il and as the same repressive in- fiuences can hardly be exerted on cor- 1espondents, in Greece, as have been cxerted elsewhere, and as belligerent control will not extend to anything like so comprehensive a zone as here- tofore, there would seem to be ground for expecting that there will be secrecy maintained concerning perations, It is supposed out 300,000 aloniki sector: that there is an Aus- tro-German army of 250,000 Monastir, some fifty miles from the allies’ lines and to the west, 100,000 Bulgars at Strumit: barely twenty niles north of the centre of the allied position, and 150,000 Turks advanc- ing, and close by, on the northeast. Thus the allies have some half a million men opp: d to them, but the 1csitions of the Franco-British force have heen carefully selected and strongly fortified and the task of the assailants seems to be a stupendous cne. Possibly we are to be disappointed in our expectations of an oppertunity to get something like a distinct pic- tire of the great battle, but on the Tace of things it seems as if this were rauch the best chance of getting a real glimpse of a big fight that the world has had or is likely to have during the war. the What He Had Learned.

The senior class at Vassar voted yes- terday to abandon the practice of choosing 24 of the prettiest girls in the sophomore class to carry the fa- mous chain.

Al Ringling died the other day at his home in Wisconsin, Most of the newspapers merely referred to him as “the circus man.” How many young- sters have stood, wide eyed and hope- ful, before the Ringling posters! These | posters, with the diagonal line of Ringling brothers’ faces, have been familiar, at one time or another, in Imost’ every city and village in this | country., Al's v the first face ini lie ling. - The eldest of the five broth- | ¢rs, He was the original showman of | the family, the organizing genius, and the peacemaker wherever internal dis- putes or busine difficulties arose. The American circus was first made prominent by P. T. Barnum, and de- veloped later by Forepaugh, Wallace, Sells-Floto, and others. The public has not yet tired of the circus. The Ingger .the better. The more tinsel and blare the greater the interest. Barnum's early specialty was to fool as well as to enterain. The later shows, especially those great aggre- eations which passed from the ‘road cays” to the railway age, went in for the spectacular, and in this feature Al Ringling is said to have excelled. The Ringlings were German-Ameri- cans. From their boyhood their am- tition was to go into the show bus- mess, which at the time, was mostly confined to hall entertinments, mu- ceums and small menageries with jeats of juggling and physical enter- tainers, and his real circus appr ticeship was obtained with the wagon | show at small towns and villages. l | Remarkable Remarks. | i (New York Independent.)
