In lS4S shipoads of food were sent by
kind Americans to feed the victims of an
artificial famine in Ireland. but the food
was allowed to rot in warehouses at Cork
by order of the British Government lest
its distribution might lower prices and
upset the market (admssion of the then
Premier in Parliament). Other shiploads
of food sent to Ireland by Turkey were
turned on the sea by the British navy and
sent home again for a similar reason The

BETSY ROSS AND THE FLAG

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Q Sir-I have read the communication OF
Lloyd Balderston, of 18th inst, and with
your permission submit some brief COM
ments The late George Candy gave much
time and systematic research in his en-
deavor to obtain documentary evidence to
substantiate the family claim, that his
grandmother, Betsy Ross. made the first
stars and stripes flag. For number of
years prior to his death he was n constant
visitor to the library of the Historical So
cIety of Pennsylvania and I personally
aided him in his frultless researches L
next suggested that he continue them IN
Washington, d. C, Provided with letters or
prominent United States Senator'S com
mendIng the object of his visit he spent
about a week in the Departments or state,
Treasury and War. where he was allowed
personally to examine the books and papers
in each from the date OF the passage OF
the act of Congress adopting the stars and
stripes flag to the year 1880. On his re-
turn he expressed his pleasure at the
courtesles and facilities extended to him,
but that after an exhaustive search he
failed TO find a single record that any flags
had been made for the Congress or been
paid for, or that the name of Betsy Ross
appeared in that or any other connection.
The other part of the tradition that Wash
ington, Morris and Ross visited the Arch
street house is preposterous, in so far as
Washington is concerned

BE FAIR TO THE SOUTH

TIME overrepresentation of the South.
l. ern States in Congress- and in the
electoral college is bad enough at the
best, but it is not so bad as some North
ern newspapers are attempting to prove.
The Albany Knickerbocker Press, for ex-
ample, prints a table shsSving that in
eleven Southern States which have n
total of 1876 electors only 1868 900 votes
were cast. or 10000 fewer than We're
polled in New York, with only forty.fve
electors. New York has a voting popula.
ton of 100000. The eleven Southern
States under discussion have a white
voting population of S65O.OOO. and If
electors were apportioned to them on the
basis of white voters alone they would he
entitled to sixty electors instead of 126.
The Leavenworth Times finds that four
Southern States, with thirty-five electors,
polled no more votes than were cast in
Kansas, with ten electors. Yet their white
voting population would entitle them to
twenty electors on the Kansas basis.
The truth is that the Southerners do not
vote in regular elections; they vote in
primaries. Texas has a white voting
population OF $4,000, yet only 2S6, 900
ballots were cast for the presidency. The
injustice in the situation, such as it is.
arises from the dlsfranchisement of the
negro in violation of the letter and the
spirit of the fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution. A reapportionment of Con.
gressmen and electors on the basis of the
voting population of the South under
present arrangements would involve the
formal acquiescenee of the nation in
negro disfranchisement. Are we quite
ready TO go that far?

Sir-Mayor Smith shows his marvellous
optimistic capabilities in his Thanksgiving
effusion of recent date. From the stand
point of reason, I beg to take exception to
his childish attempt to twist the facts and
dupe the good people OF Philadelphia into
believing that the Lord has really given us
a square deal during the last year.
The Mayor says, I'VE have been singu-
larly blessed during the last year, in that
our great manufacturing establishments
have been well and prOhtably employed"
What! Should establishments making mu-
nitions for the use OF the warning nations
of Europe, so that men may prolong the war
and spread death and doom to countless
thousands. be termed well employed? They
may be profitably employed, but every dol
lar earned by munition plant making
supplies for the belligerents is stained with
blood. Can an insult to humanity such as
this be carried further?
Listen 10 this: Moreover, the health OF
the community has been we'll preserved

forts to fight successfully what threatened
to be a serious visitation of infantile pa

that IL Il is Gods will that this terrible car

JACK LONDON
essnry.

Jack LONDON, dead at forty brought
- us n message of the intense value
of bare life. He saw just one thing
clearly, the world of difference between
n live mouse and dead king. It was
always with him the desperate struggle
for foothold on the precipice of exist
ence-the starving man fighting the
starving wolf, each wanting to eat t'other;
the little prehistoric monkey caught by
the tail just in time to save him from
the jaws under the tree lanes, and survlv-
ing to pass on to us the terrible falls of
nightmare. 1t was n virile message, but
too much streaked with bloodshed and
ugly cruelty. But as an artist. when he
could forget his Huxley and Darwin, he
had all the love of the free sea and the
gallant passion of fair fight that is in the
best tradition Of our romance. He knew
that the finest way to love life was to be
forever risking the loss Df it.
