Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 10 MARTIN

South called it, 'FMammy's Shortnin'
Bread"
While staying at his brothers, he
visited the Nations new Capitol.
Washington of a hundred and fifty
one years ago, in 1896, consisted of
row of only six completed build
ings, and the Presidents House"
and Capitol not yet under roof.
Kennedy was soon employed as
bookkeeper for the Canal project,
and while working along the Po-
tomac, he met Miss Rosamond
Thomas, of Frederick, whom he
made Mrs. Kennedy.
The following year, he moved to
Washington County and located near
Williamsport, where he engaged in
the flour trade. After about fifteen
years of exemplary business life, he
began serving in a public capacity,
being first elected to the House of
Delegates in 1877.
Thus we find Thomas Kennedy in
a position to do something about
the inequality of Jews and Christians
in Free America. While in his first
term, he introduced the bill that
caused so much disturbance, known
as "The Jew Bill" but he saw it
defeated. Returning home, he was
hailed as can enemy of Christian
ity," "a Judas Iscariot," Zone half
Jew and the other half not a Chris
tan" His campaign for reelection
was bitterly opposed with the state
ment that if he were again elected
he would renew his shameful at
tack on the Christian Religion"
But he was reelected. And the
bill was passed in 1922. But the
constitution required that such a bill
be ratified by the newt Legislature
before it could become operative.
So the Bill became the issue of
the next election, and a hot one.
Quoting Williams, our own histor-
ian, GA perfect frenzy seized upon
the people. Ten men were ready to
take hold of the skirt of him that
was Jew, but with an entirely diff
ferent motive from that suggested
by the prophet"
In one issue of the Torchlight
there were fourteen different articles
written with unbelievably intoler-
ant hatred for the Jewish race. One
writer, declaring himself to be a
Christian voter" asked the people
of Maryland whether they wished
to strike from their laws the last

clause which declares our profession
of Christianity" Others said: "gTo
pass the law would encourage
Turks, Jews, Pagans and Infidels."
1T would sap the foundations of all
we hold dear"
One writer ridiculed Kennedy as
standing with open arms inviting
every one of the worlds twelve mil
lion Jews to come to Maryland.
At this election, the opponents of
the bill were led by Benjamin Gal
loway, who is referred to as an &C.
centric gentleman. With him were
Joseph Gabby, Joseph l. Merrick
and James H. Bowles. Galloway led
in the newspaper attacks, misrepre-
senting the Bill as a direct assault
upon the Christian religion.
With Kennedy, for the bill, were
Ignatius Drury, T. B. Hall, and
Thomas Kellar.
All these gentlemen agreed to
meet at Cold Spring, at the southern
edge of Hagerstown, described last
week in this column, and hold a
"spouting." Each side was to have
their say on the subject, so that the
crowd would be able to decide the
issue. History says now that Ken
nedy and his men had on their side,
reason and right and justice. But
the people were in no mood to list
en- to reason or right or justice. Ken
nedy was defeated in this and the
next election, and his Bill lay in
defeat for two years.
But frenzy and emotional upheav-
ais never last long. People came to
see the reason and right and justice
that Thomas Kennedy had been
standing for, and in 1925 he was re-
turned to the Legislature. In the
meantime the Bill had gained a new
hacker, John Van Lear Mcmahon,
who carried the work begun by
Kennedy to completion. This gen
tleman delivered a five-hour speech
on the subject that has been rated
as one of the most powerful and elo-
quent ever heard in the old State
House.
Two other outstanding things to
be remembered about Thomas Ken
needy are: his work with the Mail,
which he published till the time OF
his death; and his son, Doctor How
ard Kennedy, who also figured large
ly in local history.

Postmaster Urges
You To Mail Early

All Out-of-State Cards And
Packages Should Be Mailed By
End Of This Week At The
Latest.
Postmaster Thomas M. Simpson
yesterday requested public cooper
alton in handling the heavy Christ
mas mailing load. He asked that
people begin mailing their Christ
mas cards and packages at once, and
that they space out their mailings
over several days so that mail will
arrive at the post office in a steady
stream, instead of in huge punches.
During normal periods, cancella-
tions at the post office average 3d.
600 pieces of mail per day. They
are now averaging $4,000 per day,
and during the peak of the Christ
mas season they reach 100000 per
day.
MANY people have their Christ
mas lists almost complete, but are
delaying until they can fill in just
a few missing addresses" the Post
master said. 'It would help us a
great deal if next week these people
would mail all the cards and gifts
they have ready or can get ready"
Full and correct addresses are es-
sential, and use of zone numbers
helps greatly in sorting the mail for
delivery, he said. Packages must be
wrapped securely with strong paper
and heavy Irvine, and it's a good
idea to repeat the address inside the
outer wrappings. Christmas cards
should be tied in bundles, with all
envelopes facing the same way and
the stamps in the same corner.
The Postmaster asked that all
Christmas cards and packages for
out of-State delivery be in the mails
by the end of this week at the latest,
and that the local cards be mailed by
December Is to ensure delivery be-
fore Christmas.

A few years ago the Nazis were
prosecuting the Jews. Today the
Arabs would exterminate them if
they could But if l tell you of a
time when the people of Washing
ton County rose in frenzied antagon-
ism toward the Jew, you would say
ooh no! Not Us!'' But that is just
what happened.
Since the days of the beginnings of
our present form of government, the
constitutions have required public
officials to publicly proclaim their
belief in God, and in Christ and other
entities of the Christian religion
that are not accepted by the Jews.
Although this part of our law was
not aimed at the Jew, but rather at
infidels and agnostics, still it kept
Jews from holding many offices.
So, in the year of 1918, there arose
another champion for the recogni-
ton of the Israelites, in the form of
our own Thomas Kennedy. In the
State Legislature, he introduced a
bill to give the Jews the same priv
ileges regarding the holding of off
ces as member of the Christian faith
enjoyed And then the fireworks
began.
But first, let us bring Thomas Ken
nedy to America. Thomas Kennedy
was born in Paisley, Scotland, the
son of William Kennedy. When just
a boy, he acquired romantic de-
sire to live in the Land of Freedom, -
and so he left home, and boarded a
ship at Port Glasgow headed for
Georgetown on the Potomac.
Many years before this, an elder
brother of Thomas had come to
America, but for twelve years had
not been heard from. It is likely
that Thomas had never seen his
brother, but it was thought that he
lived somewhere in Maryland.
AS the ship neared land at George
town the youthful Kennedy, eager
to stand on ''free SOIL" leaped from
the landing boat, first out. A tall man
stepped from the crowd that had
gathered to greet the ship from
across the Atlantic, and asked the
youth where the ship was from. The
young man named his own home
town of Paisley, and soon the I'm
believable truth dawned upon the
two men that they were brothers,
Thomas and Matthew Kennedy.
Of course this unexpected union
was cause for happiness, and they
went to the elder brothers home for
supper, where Thomas met his
brothers family. He described his
first American meal as follows:
"After drinking some republican
whiskey, I sat down to dinner and
feasted on some wholesome fare, the
product of Columbia, and began first
of all with some luncheon made of
Indian meal and well known by the
name of Poan." No wonder he liked
America; where else could he have
found Cornpoan, or as the old time

Rolling"
At the next meeting, on December
II, Christmas party will be held
and each member attending is asked
to bring an inexpensive gift. The
young people of the Grange have set
the date for caroling party as De-
cember %. A further announcement
regarding this will be made at the
next meeting.

U.S., Denmark Discuss
Riqhts in Greenland

The State Department said yester-
day that informal exploratory talks
have been going on recently with
Denmark in regard to the future Of
American defense rights in Green

mark last May with a view to modi-
flcation or termination OF a 1s4l
agreement granting the United
States the right to build airfields
and other facilities in Greenland
necessary for defense of the island
and the American continent.

nounced then that he was ready to
explore "the basis of some new
agreement" which would take

British Proclaim End
OF War With Austria
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Britain yes
terday ended a formal state of war
with Austria in order to permit
commercial and financial dealings"
and cited four-power failure to agree
on an Austrian peace treaty as one
reason for the action.
A three-line statement appeared
In yesterdays London Gazette an
nouncing the surprise move, together
with the text of note handed to the
Austrian government in Vienna. A
Foreign Office spokesman said the
act was not to be regarded as sep
arate peace" because Britain still
hoped the Big Four would agree on a
peace treaty.
The note said that one reason for
ending the state of war was that
through circumstances beyond Aus
trian control it has as yet proved i'm
possible to conclude treaty which
would dispose of questions relating
to Austria arising out of the state of
war with the German Reich"
The note emphasized that normal
British Austrian relations were be-
ing restored without prejudice to
these three previous commitments: :
Terms of the German unconditional
surrender; the June, 1916, agreement
on Allied control machinery for Aus
tria which provided four-power oc-
cupation; resolution of issues await
ing settlement through conclusion OF
q peace pact.

Cause Of fWor|d Peace
:ParaIyzed by Veto,
Mexican Tells U.N.
BY the Associated Press

+. NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Foreign
Minister Jaime Torres Bodet of
Mexico told the United Nations
General Assembly today that per-
-sistent use of the big power veto
has paralyzed the cause Of world
peace.
He declared there is a danger that
the abuse Of the veto in the United
Nations Security Council may make
pace impossible" and appealed for
a limit as to its use.
Selfish Interests Hit.
In speech prepared for delivery
to the 55-nation body, the Mexican
Foreign Minister declared that self
ish interests" were tearing all ideals
asunder and said the progress Of
world justice has been paralyzed
by the disagreements of the powers
in whose hands we placed key of
far-reaching authority: The inter
national veto"
Mr.. Tories Bodet's speech was in
terpreted as the opening gun in a
Latin American campaign to seek a
revision of the veto section of the
U. N Charter Argentina has placed
the veto issue on the Assembly
agenda and it is slated to be one of
the hottest battles of the 1947 session
Conceived as a steering lever and
also as a guarantee for the peoples
who had been able to make the larg-
est contributions to the common vic
tory. the veto means to those people
a right of extraordinary distinction
and consequently assumes the exist
ence of an obligation no less excep-
tional in character" the Mexican
Foreign Minister said.
Limit to Veto Power"
1--WE know we'll enough what that
right is. AS regards the obligation,
we would find 1t hard to define it in
material terms. Still, it is enough to
ponder on the relation which should
exist between privilege and RESPONSE
bilities inherent in the privilege, to
realize that here is limit to the veto
power. This limit is being wildly
called to our attention by the danger
that the abuse of the veto may make
peace impossible"
He said that If continued use of
the veto blocked efforts at collabora-
ton. the nations will begin, on their
own accord. to search for an incom-
plete, precarious and false solution
