BE FAIR TO THK-SOUTH
THE overreprescntatlon of the South
orn States In Congress and In tho
electoral collogo Is bad enough at tho
best, but It Is not so bad as some North
ern newspapers aro attempting to prove.
Tho Albnny Knickerbocker. Press, for ex
ample, prints a tablo showing that In
eleven Southern States which have a
total of 12G electors only 1,063,000 votes
were cast, or -10,000 fewer than wero
polled In Now York, with only forty-flvo
electors. New York has a voting popula
tion of 2,700.000. Tho eleven Southern
States under discussion hnvo a white
voting population of 3,050,000, and If
electors wero appottioncd to them on tho
basis of white voterH alono they would ho
entitled to sixty electors Instead of 12C.
Tho Leavenworth Times finds that four
Southern States, with thirty-live electors,
polled no more votes than were cast In
Kansas, with ton doctors. Yet their white
voting population would entltlo them to
twonty electors on tho Kansas basis.
The truth is that the Southerners do not
voto In regular elections; they vote In
primaries. Texas has a white voting
population of 835,000, yet 'only 286,000
ballots wero cast for tho presidency. Tho
Injustice in the situation, such ns It Is,
arises from tho disfranchisement of the
nogio In violation of tho Jotter nnd tho
spirit of tho fifteenth amendment to tho
Constitution, A reapportionment of Con
gressmen and electors on tho basis of tho
voting population of tho South under
present arrangements would Involve tho
rormnl acquiescence of tho nation in
negro disfranchisement. Are we quite
roady to go thnt fur?

TltOM threo to four thousand tons of

this port, yot the ofllcial organ of the
Chamber of Commerce In Its Issue for
October, under tho heading, "Must Forco
Success of S, A. Line," says that "the
line Is not receiving the tonnage It should
from Philadelphia manufacturers."
If this is true, it Is no time for tho
Chamber to be passive, tho moro so bo
cause the Chamber Itself sponsored tho
charge that a foielgn steamship monop
oly wau striving to strangle the new ven
ture. It made an Issue of the enterprise,
so much so that its failure now would
be a reflection on the business energy and

CLAYT. MOORE reminds us of an In

kept n place of bibulous refreshment on

was Dasch's philosophic masterpiece:
DON'T HE A KNOCKKIl
And Then You'll Hne 1'rlenils
If your neighbor Is prosperous, let him
prosper. Done grunt, growl or grumble.
Say a good word for him und let It go at
that. Don't bo a knocker. Your turn will
come If you havo tho push. No ona man
Is the whole show. If you see tho town
Is moving along' nicely, fcol good about It.
Help things along. Shove a little. Push.
Try and get Borne of tho benefit yourself,
Don't stand around like a chilly old cadaver.
Don't waste your time feeling sore because
somo fellow has u little more sand and sense
than you have. Do u little hustling your
self Don't bo a knocker. If you can say
a good word, say It like a prince. If you
ale full of bile nnd disposed to say some
thing mean, keep your mouth shut. Don't
be a knocker. No man ever got rich or
happy minding everybody's bualneny but his
own. No man ever helped himself up per
manently by knocking his neighbor down,
aive up a kind word. Olvo It liberally. It
won't coat you a cent and you may want
one yourself some day. You may have
thousands today and next year be without
ftio price of a Bhave. So don't be a knocker.
You can't afford It. It won't pay. Thero
Is nothing In It. If you want to throw some
thing at somebody, throw one of Dasch's
kind words or what you owe him. Don't
throw brickbats or mud. Don't be a
knocker. If you must kick, bo around be
hind the barn and take a good kick at your
self. Kor If you feel that way, you're the
man that needs It. But whatever you do,
don't be a knocker. You will get thero If
you have the push No one man Is the

BETSY ROSS AND THE FLAG
To the Vilitor of the Evening Ledger:
Q Sir i j,nvo rend the communication of
Lloyd Ilalderston, of ICth Inst., and with
your permission submit somo brief com
ments. The late George Cnnby gao much
time and systematic research In his en
deavor to obtain documentary evldenco to
substantiate the family claim, that his
grandmother, Betsy Ross, made the first
stars and stripes flag. For n number of
years prior to his death ho was a constant
visitor to tho library of tho Historical So
ciety of Ponnsylanla nnd I personally
nlded him In hla fruitless researches. I
next suggested that ho continue them In
Washington. D. C Provided with letters of
prominent United States Senators com
mending the object of his visit, ho spent
about a week In tho Departments of State,
Treasury and War. where ho was allowed
personally to examine the books and papers
In each from tho date of the passago of
the act of Congress adopting the stars and
stripes flag to tho year 1780. On his re
turn ho expressed his pleasure at tho
courtesies and facilities extended to him,
but that after an exhaustive senrcn no
failed to find a single record that nny flans
had been made for the Congress or been
nnld for. or that the name of Betsy Ross
appeared in that or any other connection.
The other part of tho tradition that Wash
ington, Morris and Ross visited the Arch
street house Is preposterous, In so far as
Washington Is concerned.
JOHN W. JORDAN,
Librarian of the Historical Society of

0 Philadelphia, November 23.
WHY DE THANKFUL?
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Mayor Smith shows his marvelous
optimistic, capabilities in his Thanksgiving
effusion of recent" date. From the stand
point of reason, I beg to take exception to
hla childish attempt to twist tho facts and
dupe the good people of Philadelphia Into
believing that the Lord has really given us
a square deal during the last year.
Tho Mayor says, "We have been elngu
larly blessed during the last year, In that
our great manufacturing establishments
have been well and profitably employed."
What! Should establishments making mu
nitions for the use of the warring 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 a munition plant making
supplies for the belligerents Is stained with
blood Can nn Insult to humanity, such as
this, be carried further?
.Listen to this: 4 "Moreover, the health of
the community has been well preserved.
Providence having given success to our ef
forts to fight successfully what threatened
to be a serious visitation of infantile pa
ralysis." Ye gods I Must we endure all
this? What cause have the parents of the
poor little victims of the disease Infantile,
paralysis to render thanks to the Al
mighty? Why did Providence permit the
malady to toll Us death-dealing knell In the
homes of happy families? Is there any
goodness in a Providence like this?
The Mayor also says that wo should thank
Ood that we are not Jn the war. He says
we should supplicate the "Most High" to
make peace in Europe It appears to me
that If It Is God's will that this terrible car.
nage should ever have begun, we had better
let Him alone and He'll bring peace In His
own good time. If we should Incur the
omnipotent displeasure of the Lord. He
might plunge us Into war
