paper. In the course of these letter he ad-
mitted that he had left home preJudiced
against the Irish, but that after seeing the
deplorable conditions In which they were
compelled to live under English rule he had
completely changed his mind and strongly
supported them in their endeavors to throw
Off the British yoke
Whether these conditions have since been
ameliorated or in any way modified l, of

when we take into consideration our own
experience with British tyranny and oppres-
sion It is difficult for the impartial OBJ
server to understand why our sentiments
and sympathies as Americans should be so
largely on the side of England, unless 1t be
to retain her trade; and II is unfortunate
indeed that our present prosperity depends
TO such an extent upon the war in Europe
as to make 1t apparently necessary for us
to cater to any of the belligerent nations TO

them munitions of war or anything else
necessary to prolong the struggle, Of which

great sadness Of heart that L read his let

what the alias implies but IL such is the
rase his mind has been SO corrupted by
English ideas and nationalisms that it
were better that he disclaim any heritage
OF "the isle of saints and scholars"
After ALL what Is a~revolt but an un-

Revolution had failed, would 1t not have
been termed revolt? And would not our
venerable Washington, whose memory we
honor have met the felon's fate? Also
would he not have come under the head Of
"Killarney's" ineffable defamations? ANY
veraeious person must admit that he would.
But such is the fate of success. Why
DO men forfeit their lives in such cases
when they reap nothing but a heap of un-
Just ISLANDERS on their own head and de-
nunciations on the heads OF their be-
levers? l wonder why. Anybody with pa

lacked In forethought he almost balanced

HER BOY HEEDED THE wARNIN,
To the Editor Of the Eventng Ledger:

To the Editor Of the Eventng Ledger:
Sir-I wish to thank you from the bottom
of my heart for the timely articles of
Henry James Buxton on the narcotic drug
evil which have been appearing in the
EVENING LEDGER. No one knows better
than 1 do the truths which have appeared
in these articles.
My son, youth of eighteen years, has
been user of heroin for more than a year
The drug has wrecked his health and
unsettled his mind. We have tried every
thing in a vain effort to tear him away
from the clutches of this curse We had
lost hope of ever saving him. when our at
tention was called to Mr.. Buxton's articles
in your paper. read every one of them to
my SON. They made great impression
upon him and made him see himself as he
really was-a poor. deluded soul drifting
toward an ignominious death, He consented
to attempt cure under n competent ply
sician. For three days he has not touched
heroin. and our physician says he can prob
ably stop the boys craving for the drug.
The boys suffering is terrible, but then our
minister has asked Gods help to aid him in
bearing IL. In recent talks with my son he
has told me of the remarkable truthfuness
of the EVENING LEDGER articles, and says
hundreds of boys no older than himself are
enslaved by the drug curse. He says Mr..
Buxton must have seen the conditions first
hand or he could not have depicted them so
truthfully. II my boy Is saved my heart
will go out I'm thanksgiving to Mr.. Buxton
and the EVENING LEDGER
advise the hundreds Of parents in this
city who have sons and daughters afflicted
With the drug curse to read the EVENING
LEDGER articles. l hope that you will keep
up the good work until this horrible evil is
stamped out.
