Those who have grown accustomed to the almost proverbial expression. “As slow a« a Philadelphian,” have never gone beyond the humorous con­ sideration of the matter, writes Dr. William Ellis Tring», in the Chicago American. The newspapers have made it the brunt of humorous thrusts, the theme has furnis>heve and die there—seemingly p Tfect lv contented.

Now. there is a serious and a scien­ tific side to the fact of Philadelphia’s slowness as a body of people. It is noticeable that the men who control wealth, who handle great cor­ porations and engag«* in vast business enterprises therein, are alive to their business’ best interests, and comprise ns wakeful a set of men as one wishes to find in any municipality in t>e world. This is partimlarlv noticeable in the political affairs of Philadelphia. Those who engage in the actual con­ trol of the vast city’s interests take oc­ casional opportunity to assure the world that there is nothing slow about th«* politicians of that town. The voters arc just the contrary—let a man it« authority betray every sense of honor and fidelity to his constituency, anti they will re-elect him as long as he •how* his allegiance to th? powers that be. This signifies subserviency —ser­ vile submission -whether it be good or had. The same is true in business. While it is not done. I add. to the honor of Philadelphia business men. yet a busmess mnn who desired could exact almost any bone«t condition cf em­ ployment from his hard-wv«rk»d nrt;- sans. and they would humiliatingly submit to it rather than run t**»* risk and dread of a loaf position.
