/, WASHINGTON. d. I'll. March 15.----
There Is one citizen OF tho United States
iiv Pennsylvania who thinks 1t Is a
dissertation OF the American flag to use
Slt rs ar advertisement for a brewery.
He Inns told the President so, and to
the surprise OF many people, probably,
tho President has been sufficiently im-
pressed with the protest lof the Penn-8
sylvanian to refer the lotter to the Do
partmcnt OF Justice, from which It has
been sent to the Speaker OF tile House.
There 5havc been many bills Introduced
in each branch Of Congress at; this scs-9
sion to prevent the national emblem being
used for airy such purpose as that to-
Which 1t Is being put BY the SPennsyl-ss
3vania brewery, but none Of them have
been adopted S
rho letter to the President was as \
follows: IN Il VAL is FS
'Ellwood city, Pa, March 8, 1904.
Dear sir,-As am q true American
and proud of 1t, 4 am going to write to
YOU, as II think the same OF you, and
think you are ali Ideal Anne rlcaE. 81 Now
what i am writing to YOU for is this
which is an insult to our dearsold flag
There is brewery in Newcastle. Pa
twelve miles from here, BY y II anne the
Standard n Brewing Company. and their
trade mark Is a large American flag,
with a key Of beer on It, and I do not
sthirk IT Is right. N Now, Mr.. Roosevelt.
II would q like to see that stopped, as I
Sthink,i fills an insult to our flag, and II
think you might be able to do some
thing toward stopping it. 4 am no crank
or, lunatic. Hoping you will give this
letter some notice. {g
Yours respectfully,
rs LEWIS MOORE

tho Department OF Justice, VI and thus
starting IT towards Congress, the Presi-
dent wished to call the attention Of the j
law making body to the necessity Of the
passage Of some one Of the bills forbid
ding the DISSERTATION OF the flag by
using Il for advertising purposes,
