TURNED DOWN
BY Sam Simmons
No matter IL you were turned down
In buffoon way or with a frown,
Fight on the good old fight OF faith
For doing right Is no disgrace.
No matter II not one cen knows
The years OF struggle and the blows
OF Injustice that evil hayed
Upon thy head. be not dlsmayed.
No matter II thy bosom friend
Refuses aid to turn the trend
In your favor when needed most
Remember God can be thy host.
No matter IL tho mountains high
They hedge you in and hide the sky.
Look Up and hear thy Fathers: "HaM.
Trust on and thee will not fail."

Letters TO the Editor.


10 tho Edn0r OF the PuOHc Led0eT'
Sir--In addressing you we only de.
sire to fulfill our sacred duty rs a civil.
ian organization banded together for
the welfare Of God and country. we
feel that at this time the world needs
some one to bring all together In uni
versal interest.
Through our deep study, We are now
ready to, and do herein suggest, the
name Of one, who for the fulfillment
of this wonderful and stupendous un-
dertaking should be chosen. When this
man was invited to come before the
United States Senate Committee on
Commerce for Interrogation to show his
fitness to fulfill the duties OF chief ex:
ecutive Of the American international
Shipbuilding Corporation. he there ap-
peared. After a gruelling enterview, the
committee went into executive session.
After deciding that he was the right
man to fulfil that position he was
given full power to act.
What followed the world knows. He
was appointed to build ships IN the best
and most expeditions way. This be did.
Under his efficient business admins :
tration millions Of dollars were ex-
pended without shadow of corruption.
but with applause for his good judg.
ment.
Not only this. but he corralled the
hearts Of the people Of our country:
He carried into every city, town and
hamlet of our nation, even unto the
remotest parts, as a household word

His name is none other than Matthew
G, Brush, whom We now suggest a.

c.,Is paylIoht Saving IN. g."

To the Editor Of the Evcntn0 PUBLIC Ledger:
Sir-In answer to q. =. KS letter.
would like to give n few reasons why
daylight saving works q hardship on a
majority Of people.
First. / cannot see how anything Is
gained by taking off one end and putting
1t on the other.
Second. 1t Is going to throw thou
sands out of work In the NTH largest
business in the world, namely. moving
picture industry, and there are already
enough out Of work; and it also works
a hardship on the small storekeeper, as
his business Is done mostly at night,
but there being no night no business
results.
Also It, is positively class law, as it
only benefits the Office man and few
baseball fans who have greater Op-
portunity to gamble on the games, also
the rich who don't do anything more
than loaf but the working man must
.ive up one hour in the morning when
t is cool and he could sleep, because it
was too hot to sleep the early part of
the night.
And IL G. 8. X. would like, will
furnish him with a list Of names of the
middle class of people, five to his one,
|. !gainst this fool law.
Even your paper contains editorials
md reports under last minute news the
,laces where this law has passed, but
never a word of Harrisburg. Lancaster.

towns that will not be so foolish.

StoutIy Defends Prohibition

70 the Editor Of the Eve7,inO Public Ledger:
Sir-In reference to Mr.. G. j. NJ,
who is strongly opposed to prohibition,
but is a temperate person according TO
his statement, which almost contrndictS
itself. as in his article he claims to have
had two quarts of an Intoxicating bev-
erage on his person during rerca.
visiet, which in itself is an infraction
of the law, as / understand it.
Now, Mr.. Il. J. NJ, quit your antag-
Onistic spirit against what you call .
farcical enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment. Obey it yourself and do
not tempt others to break 1t Just to
have further cause FOR bclittling the laws
Of the land.
We have law that forbids murder.
but we read every day of this law being
broken. Is it the fault of the law? No.
it's the fault of the one who breaks the
law. If saloons had been patroniZed by
temperate people only. the Government
would never have realized the enormous
revenue it did and surely you, as n tenn
perate person. would not be in favor
Of the saloons if they were patrOnized by
incorporate persons.
You state that prohibition cannot
show any wonders accomplished. Now
with you l agree that prohibition now
and never will be the cause of removing
all the evil that is done by man. but an
examination and comparison Of police
records will show smaller percentage
of arrests for drunkenness than before
the laws inception. The pure liquor
that you claim the saloons sold in the
olden days has caused innumerabc
deaths and diseases.
All this from one who is not affiliated
with any organization for or against
prohibition, but believes in trying to do
his best to obey II law that hurts no
man. but is capable Of doing him i'm
measurable good. X. \. II.

| basic industries with disaster and II.
interests with serious injury. WILD
extravaganza in government had i'm
posed on the country's taxpayer:
| burdens that were crushing. Unem-
l ployment was a menacing problem
and agriculture was in a dangerous
situation as a result of the ill-advis-
ed plan OF postwar adjustment that
was pursued by the Wilson admin
istration. The problem that await
ed the Republican party on its COM
ing into control was to salvage the
nation. to save from the wreckage
what could be saved and to set
Americas steps in paths leading TO
recovery and TO prosperity. This 1t
promptly set about doing, as. the
record shows. BY lessening the tax
burdens, by aiding agriculture, by
stimulating industry and commerce,
by bringing about a business and
industrial revival that has resulted
in eliminating unemployment. by
improving the financial situation, it
has opened the way to betterment
OF conditions that are still progress
slvely improving. These effects and
achievements are matters of com
mon knowledge. The electorate can
see for itself the turn OF conditions
for the better that has taken place
under Republican administration
and can see for itself the promise
OF continuing improvement held by
the permanent tariff, which Is en-
phasized by the promotion Of nation
al interests Snder -he emergency
tariff. and by other constructive
legislation. These facts OF record
and the manifest betterment Of ma
tional conditions can not be dis
posed of by the Democrats with
partisan arguments. The Demo
cratic strateglsts must deal with
them as they are. II they expect the
electorate to heed their contentious
and. II they do so deal with them,
they can not make out a case for
their party. For the plain record
makes out an unshakable case for
the Republican party. To attempt
to get around the achievements Of
the party in control by mere words
and partisan contentious would be
to attempt to win the American
electorate away from the course
that its best interests chart and
that indlsputable results urge.
The American voter remembers
the conditions under which the ma
ton was struggling twenty months
ago-condiuons for which the DEM |
ocratic party was largely RESPONSE |
ble-and. remembering this. can not |
fail 10 conclude that the party which |
has led the nation upward TO pros
perlty deserves support. Truly |
partys actions-its achievements in
governing and the benefits that II .
works IN behalf Of the nation
speak louder than partisan words,
and the record Of the Republican /
party along this line speaks in trum-
pet tones.
