To the Editor Of the JeTseu city Negs:-
In your issue of this late you have an
article entitled For Victory in Bayonne"
in which, while discussing Mayor New
mans attempt to secure the regular
Democratic nomination, you say 1.-Two
delegates. Benny and Brady, were the
kiekers at the convention against Farr,
nevertheless they didn't even suggest the
name of any other Democrat for the posi-
ton. Since Saturday night they have
been doing all they can to further New
mans candidacy"
/ don't know where you received the
above information concerning the actions
Of the two delegates named, but so far as
it relates to myself it Is erroneous.
II Is true l opposed giving Mr.. William
G. Farr the Democratic nomination, as a
matter of principle, but when the conyen-
ton decided that my opposition was not
well founded and gave Mr.. Farr the nomi-
nation, my opposition ceased, aud / then
became, and am now, a loyal supporter of
Mr.. Farr. believing that the convention.
regularly called, binds the entire party by
its action. am now doing and intend TO
continue to do all in my power TO insure
the election of the regular Democratic
candidate
By giving this the same prominence in
your paper that you gave the eh9rge in
your article Of today, you will, l think, do
me justice ALLAN BENNY.

hdfpeTs AldkaLtut " AtElls
Gne OF the most impo rtant journalistic
achievements of the day is the publlca-
ton in Harper's Magazine for April of
an article on THE Behring Sea Con-
troversy," by E. J. Phelps, late
United States Minister 70 the Court OF st.
James. So clearly are the statements OF
the points at issue set forth, and so con-
elusive are the adduced in
government, that-coming as it does from
an authority so eminently qualified TO
speak of these matters-this article must
be regarded as the most valuable contri-
button yet made to the discussion of this
international controversy. General Lewal,
ex-Minister of War tor France. writes for
the same number of the Magazine an ex-
tremely picturesque and entertaining
account of the development of The
French Army" which is made still
more attractive by a series of Illustrations
drawn by Thulstrup. It. Mitchell
trated by H. d. Nicols, gives some exceed
ingly interesting "Glimpses of the
Bacteria" and describes the influence
which these microcosms have upon the
life Inc health of other organis ms. The
popular series of South American papers,
by Theodore Child, is continued in a
timely illustrated article, entitled "Ar-
gentine Provincial Sketches" In view of
the recent political disturbances in South
America, the interest and Importance OF
this remarkable series of papers can
scarcely be over estimated. A historical
and descriptive paper on 1.-THE State of
Wisconsin, accompanied by numerous
portraits of public men. is contributed by
the Hon. William T.. Villas, United
States Senator from that State. DR..
Charles Waldstein writes a description
OF the famous Court Theatre Of Mein-
ingen," and the Duke OF Sake Meiningen
contributes to the illustration Of the
article some of his own pen and ink
sketches. Tine fiction in this number in
cludes the continuation of the serials by
Charles Egbers Craddock and Thomas
Hardy, and short stories by Margaret
Crosby and Ageline Teal. The Editorial
Departments, under the control of George
William Curtis. William Dean Howells,
and Charles Dudley Warner, are, as al
ways, scholarly, entertaining and unsur-
passed in the variety and appropriateness
Of the subjects presented for discussion.

Will REMAIN NEUTRAL.

The Hudson County Irish Leaguers Urge
Irishrnen at Home to Unite.
An important meeting Of the hudson
County Central Branch of the Irish Ma
tional League was held yesterday after
noon at st. Johns Hall and business of
great Importance was transacted. The
subject of inviting the Parnell ENJOYS to
Jersey City was after much discussion
dropped. The majority Of those who
spoke were opposed to contributing money
at the present time to either faction.
LET them settle at home" one member
said, "the difference OF leadership and
then seek our assistance to carry on their
campaign. But until this is done, until a
united Ireland appeals to us, | for one
will refuse to contribute one ent."
Treasurer John Kenny reported that
after having paid all bills for printing,
etc, aud having sent $50 80 to Ireland for
the evicted tenants. he still had in his
possession 500.
St. Johns Hall having been sold com.
mittee was appointed to secure another
place.
A resolution thanking the St. Johns
Society for its generosity in giving the
use of the hall for years free OF charge TO
the Irish National movement WAS unani-
mously adopted; also a resolution ex-
pressing the sympathy Of the members
with the family of Patrick Moran, late
janitor of the hall, "a true Irishman ana

Don't shut up your house lest the
sun should fade your carpets; and
your hearts, lest a merry laugh should
shake down some of the musty old
cobwebs there. If you want to ruin
your sous. let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without, when
they come home at night. When
once a home is regarded as only a
place to eat, drink and sleep in, the
work is begun that ends in reckless
degradation.
Young people must have fun and
relaxation somewhere; if they don't
have it at their own hearthstone it
will be sought at other, and perhaps
at less profitable places. Therefore.
let the fire burn brightly at night,
and make the homestead delightful.
Don't repress the buoyant spirits of
your children; half an hour of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight of
a home blots out many a care and
annoyance during the day; and the
best safeguard they can take with
them into the world is the unseen in
fluence of a bright little domestic
circle. Put home first and foremost,
for there will come a time when the
home circle will be broken; when you
will long for the touch OF a vanished
hand, and the soundQf a voice that is
STILL" and when yourEreatest pleasure
will be in remembering that you did
all in your power to put a song under
every burden to make each other
happy.-AtGntG Constitution.

Newman,s Fnke Candidacr.

We observe that Mayor Newman of
Bayonne, not being able to get even a
fake nomination, has decided to run
on petition. Two hundred and fifty
of his ring allies have signed the nee
essary document, and so he is in the
field. Doubtless the full power Of the
Office holders and the jobbing contrac-
tors and other corrupt influences in
Bayonne politics will hustle to elect
him.
The extreme unpopularity Of Mr..
Newman and his ring is shown, how
ever, by the fact that every nominal
ton is likely to be bestowed upon his
opponent. Mr.. Farr already has the
Democratic and Citizens endorse
ment. 1t is more than probable that
he will receive the Republican nomi-
nation also. Even those who at the
outset we're opposed to Mr.. Farr are
facing around and joining his forces.
His election is beyond all doubt.
1t would be more decent in Mr..
Newman, under the circumstances, to
retire from the contest. When he
finds that no party wants him, it is
strange he should insist on forcing
himself ON the people.

THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
A Demure Quakeress Designed the
Bright American Flag.

Do you know that that beautiful
national flag of ours was designed by
a womang 1t was. And those BRILL
ant colors that always send a thrill OF
pride tingling through the veins OF
every true American were selected by
a demure quakeress. This woman
was born in Philadelphia in 1742. In
1869 she married a merchant named
John Ross. but Mrs. John being a
strict member of THE Society OF
Friends was always known as Betsy
Ross. And Betsy was known to the
world-what little there was at that
time on this side of the Atlantic, and
to all the manufacturers on II other
side--as the most artistic upholster in
America.
She was famous for her love of gor-
geous colors. The primary colors,
red. white and blue-were thrown
recklessly into most everything she
adorned, and she adorned all OF the
noted places at that time, among
others the hall of Congress, the Gov
ernor's reception room and the cabins
and staterooms of Caleb and Thomas
Cope's packet ships. She was a friend
of Washington, Franklin, Adams,
Morris, Jones, Rittenhouse, and very
highly esteemed by her brother-in-
law, Colonel Ross.
She was asked to design n flag for
the country, which was then called
Columbia. Congress at this time
was called continental Congress-
and the states colonies By the
request of DIR. Franklin, Robert
Morris and Colonel George Ross, she
made the flag for the country and
herself worked in the words in silk,
THE United States of America"
The flag consisted OF thirteen red
and white stripes; a blue field as u
square on the left upper corner. On
the blue field was a spread eagle with
thirteen stars in a circle of rays OF
glory.
While she was at work designing
and making the flag her workshop
was visited by all the noted men of
the day, who took the most vivid in
terest in the work, and never failed to
compliment her on her inspiration.
She made flags for the country for
fifty-fve years, and died at the age Of
four score and ten. The United
States seal was made from the design
of the flag. Long before the reyolu-
ton of 1916 her red, white and blue
streamers used to float from the
packet ships that brought her mater
ial to carry on her artistic business

e entleman he assumed. we should be
ready to answer Mr.. Curtis question
~emphatically in the Affirmative. 1t is
impossible for a blackboard in jour
nalism to be a gentleman in private
life, or rather it is impossible for a
gentleman to be anything else injour-
nalism. But even then. the question
would appear a weak and dilettante
one, such as only a hair splitter of the
Curtis stamp would raise. for we be
lieve that the ethics of journalism
rest on a far higher plane than a mere
conventional code of manners.
The more, then, Mr.. Curtis narrows
down his conception Of the limits OF
eentlemanliness, the more he makes
il conflict with "a wholesome utilitar-
ianisn, the less we can agree with
him. the less we can admire his posi-
ton. OF course in adopting the word
blackguardism to describe everything
he does not like, he takes an unfair
advantage at the outset. He places,
or tries to place, an opponent in the
attitude Of defending what all men
abhor. But there is in Mr.. Curtis
article an immense field for difference
from his views before one becomes
identified with the things which all
mankind regard as odious, and it is
W this expanse that his error ex-
tends.
The journalism of today has a rough
road to ride over, and rude and coarse
forces to contend against. 1t must
often harden and roughen itself to
face these on anything like terms of
equality. 1t appeals besides to mil
lions who are strangers to the
technical code of gentlemanliness,
and it must approach them in aspects
and in terms which are suited to their
comprehension. We believe the
American press is mainly honest of
purpose. We believe it is sincerely de-
sirous to destroy wrong and corruption
and to set up honesty and virtue in the
high places of the land. In the main
it breaches good sens and good NOR
ais to the people. The only persons
who need fear it are the oppressor
and the wrongdoer; the false, the self
ish and the dishonest. 1t is, on the
whole, the most conservative as well
as the most progressive energy in the
country. and without it American en-
terprise and American liberty would
have little chance OF life.
Newspaper men endeavor in their
professional life to honestly serve their
fellow citiz ems. No class, w believe,
are endowed with so large a share of
public spirit, and in their private
careers, they are, as a class, the most
retiring among the professions. No
small harm is done by articles such as
Mr.. Curtis latest honily. They i'm
pose on the unthinking, they serve as
weapons in the hands of the wicked,
writhing under the lash of newspaper
criticism, and they doserious injustice
by innuendo to those against whom
they are directed.
