To the Editor OF The TIMES:
I, like "A daughter of the United

read with no little amusement and in

gard to the loyalty or lack of II of the
South to our flag.
My views on the subject are those

as we'll as those of the North The
war is ended, that is an all important
fact to keep before one. Realizing this
fact and our States having returned
into the fold of the Union, we. of the

Union is our flag. We love that flag,
We honor it, we fight for It, but We
have not lost our remembrances of the

To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Being a regular subscriber to your
very valuable pape-, I read with mucn
interest the letters on topics of the
day.
In a copy of The Times of recent
date, read Samuel FerSuson's state
ment that the Communist Manifesto, e
Socialist document of very great In
portance, vas responsible for the state
ment that when the Socialist got in
power, private property would be no
more.
Now, I have read the document, and
find that what is meant is that one car
own anything excepting what all must
Use. That Is; only the nation. The
government. The peopls can own L
railroad, factory. mill, mine, telegraph,
or any public utility. The people owr-
ing these industries would rely on the
workers in each to operate. direct, man.

and electing all who were to oversee
the work. Then. It will be easy to say,
