SLOW PHILADELPHIA
The Funny Flings at the Quaker
City Not All Well Founded.
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>he<L food for ea.rica-
turiit» on occasions when more mo
mentous problems have lain in »1 um
bering quiescence, lecturers have
scored, introductory points about it.
and knights of the “heel and clog’
have come to resort to it as a vindica
tion when old and memorable gra\-
haired jokes have failed to find market
in the playhouses of the beautiful city
of homes.
So far has this over-indulgence of a
well-taken criticism extended1, that one
may hear in England and as far away
as the orient, stories invested with rid
icule for patient Philadelphia, the long-
suffering and never-complaining home
of as lovely and loving a community of
people as God ever made.
A certain lecturer in Scotland, com
memorating the (disposition of his fam
ily said: “I have three children liv
ing. and one in Philadelphia, Pa.” A
well known long distance walker ath
lete, losing the championship in a
time walk from Washington to New
York, consoled his defeat and amused
his admirers by declaring that he was
far ahead of his old-time record, when,
on arriving in the city of Philadelphia,
his feet went to sleep, and he was un
able to proceed« further with his ac
customed agility.
The members of a flourishing base
ball team, on alighting from the train,
etach appeared armed with a gigantic
alarm clock which they proceeded to
carry about the town to keep them
awake.
A still more unfortunate1, but actual
occurrence is the one recorded in the
undertakers* journals tl at I’HH't!-

Pl il.idclpl.ia and tell jokes rne season,
réturninír the next to find they have
ju«t penetrated the slumbering per
ception1- of the easy-going citizens.
And thus Philadelphia becomes the
poet’s theme, the joker’s jest, the
caricaturist’s hope, while its unaveng
ing millions are born, live and die in
the deepest affection for the place, un
mir« ful of tl thrusts, and not infre
quently enjoying them.
I have seen consumptive« deliber

fort. with an almost indisputable as
surance of restoration to health and
ertainly a longer life, in themountainb

that they might remain in the city of
their l<>ve and die there—seemingly
p Tfect lv contented. Tn'tw’O eases par

had every luxury that wealthy and
anxious friends and relatives would
have tendered to go away into ths*
land of oxygenous rir and balmy sun
shine, but they refused to leave the
on«* dvidg when the w inter came, and
the oth‘r lingering to-day. held by the
barest thread of existence that is
worse than death.
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. This is
said in no disparagament—it is sim
ple truth.
