The Rent Problem Tt dt Editor ot the Kventng Public t.ntarr: Sir I seo a writer In your People's Forum had another article defending the rent hog, which means any one who la collecting the same or more rontal thaiw was collected during or Immediately after the war, when the excuse was that all that enteri Into the building nnd upkeep ef the house, etc., was so high they had to raise the rent. I will never agree that any one had any lawful reason to boost rentals to where they are, even If they had used the ln crs to keep up their property, which not JO per cent of the landlords In Pennsylva nia, did. Much was made of how much um6er, etc., cost When the landlords wanted to ralie their rents. They are silent on th cost of such things now, for three years aro 1000 feet of hardwood flooring toil t in 1230. and now one can buy enough material to make n complete room, ronf and all, 10 lay (no iuuv irei ul ..uuping In and have money left. Tou can hire BOO laborer tomorrow nt thirty and thlrty-flve cents per hour and all the carpenters you need for eighty eents an hour. Nails and hardware are about three-flftha of what they were, so the landlord! and their champlnni have no excuse for keeping up high rents. The present rent conditions have been broujht about by the real estate men get , ting conlrol of the building nnd loan com panlea. If the United States Government ipects Its citizens to come to 'Its support In time of trouble, why not use an Iron hind In lime of peace to give them a square deal? Instead of selling the Jumber nnd other material from these army camps, condemn parcels of land around the city and use the Idle labor to put up houses and rent them at one-third of present rentals and still make ?0 per cent on the Investment nnd use that money again to build more houses, even If they are only rented to ex-service men and their families, W, L. KINO. Philadelphia, August 24. 1021. Dominion Status and Ireland To the Eititnr of thr Kcenlna Public Ledorr; Sir My leirned friend "nodgers." If that Is his reM name, modestly tells us In his let ter of August 13 how learned he la In Knc llih, Irish and United States history and that ha "frequently visits the Congressional I.I Inry" and Is a "special student of tho Fed eril Cnnstlttiilon." In the face of such vast learning I am letters to th Editor should bo as brief and to tho point' no possible, avoiding nnythlhs that would opan n uenomlnatloimr or scclurlan Ula cusslon. No attention will ba paid to anony mous letters. Names and addresses must bo signed as an evidence of pood fallli, although names will not' be printed If request Is made that they be omitted. Tho publication of n, letter Is not to bo tnken as nn Indorsement of Its views by this paper. Communications will not be re turned unless accompanied by post ago, nor will manuscrlDt be saved. almost afraid to continue tha debate on the Irish question. However, It Is the privilege in me illiterate to ask questions, so I will venture to ask Prof, nodgers a few more questions, even though he',falled to a.nswr a single one of my previous questions on Irish and American subjects. Prof, nodgers told us that "It was the Oerman-Amerlcan. Irish-American and Italian-Americans who elected" Hardin Piesldent. This surely Is surprising news to tho several millions of American votera who cast their ballots for llardlnr. Par. haps their ballots wera thrown out. And wniie l'ror. nodgers Is at Washington he cutht to securn a congressional Investigation of such a flagrant violation of "the Federal (.onstitutlon. This news" must also be a terrible' shock to the vanquished Cox. who. unlike Harding, promised the Sinn Felners that, If elected he would do all In his power' to compel Great llrltaln to grant Ireland Independence, la It any, wander that the Blnn Felners fall when they ehow such Ingratitude and per fidy? Will Prof. Hodeers kindly enlighten my Ignorance by answering these ques tions. How many centuries has Ireland been a part of the Orllleh Empire? What Was the name of the distinguished slid generous Prelate at noma who nbout $00 j tars ago kindly made a gift of Ireland to tho English Klng7 Is It not a fict that under Tlrltlah rule every Irishman haa equal liberties and priv ileges with tytty other citizen of the Drltlsh Empire? If Drltlsh rule Is' autoeratlo and tyran nical, how do you explain the loyalty of Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia and even South Africa to the emplro during the re cent war? How do you explain the Intense loyalty of North Ireand to tho empire? la It not a, fact that It Is not political op pression, but religious bigotry, that Is at the bottom of all this trouble In Sinn Fein Ire land? Is It not a fact that the people of the North In the United States fought a bloody fcur-yesr war to preserve the Union and for ever killed th,e doctrine of secession, so far a the United States la concerned? How then can any American cltlon consistently advocate, encourage and aid secession In n neighboring friendly nation? ' . Is It not n fact that under the dominion status offered to Ireland the last vestlte of an excuse for secession of Ireland Is le moved and the door opened to her for greater liberty, prosperity and security tnan It could possibly achieve as a little, Insignificant nation, the prey of other and larger na tions? Isn't It about time that the B(nn Fein Irish brush the cobwebs from their eyea and reallre that they are living tn the twentieth century not tho fifteenth and that ' Ihe Bnglhvhmen of today are no more responsible for the real or Imaginary' wrongs of the past In Ireland than are the Americans of to day responsible for slavery sixty yeara ago? Isn't It a fact that hatred, revenge and continuous brooding, cherishing and fondling a memoryof past real 'or imaginary Inju ries become an obsession that make a dan- tfrAiia MitnAm.Hl.n it nnlv nf (ha In. dividual, but of a nation? ' Hatred' "renders n man Impervious to reason and his own best good, does It not? Ireland under the dominion status has the door of opportunity opened to her to tho widest extent, and If she la wise enough to graap. the opportunity before It Is too late, ahe will have every chance In the world to fulfill, her destiny. The world Is waiting to sea what she shall do throw away the substance for a. shadow arid Plunge Ireland Into new detiiha of mis ery and despair, or under enlightened lead ership go forward In peace, liberty, prosper ity and contentment aa one of the free com monwealths of the Ilrltlsh Empire. JOHN MUllPHY. Philadelphia,, August 18, 1021. Who Drew No. 57 To the Editor of the t:nntna rublio Lcdoer! Sir In your Issue of August 2b. .giving the positions of drawings for magistrates their appears the name of Itobert J. Lyons as the man drawing No. B. This may be a. typographical error.

Rerjardlnu "flam Hill!' To the Itditor of the Vvenino Publio tedper: Sir "Who was "Sam Hill" who Is so frequently referred to, as for Instance, "Well, Sum Mill If I do"? , L. O, OnEENE. Ph'ladelphla, August 21, 1021. So far as we can find there was no particular Sam Hill whose name should ba used In this way. It la merely' a eti phemtsm, like many other exclamations, as, for Instance, "Hy Qoeh!" "Jerusalem!" etc. Amid excitement profanity Is easy of re sort, but not being considered good form, one ceases before he. gets Out the words, "Fights like tha devil," etc., and sub stitutes, "Fights Ilka Sam It'll." The anslogy of "Jerusalem crickets" Is one of the many. The Bucks County Rebellion To the Eiitor ot the Evtnno Public Ledaer: Blr Please tell a. constant reader of your People's Forum what was the cause of the Bucka County rebellion, and when did It occur? . S, L. T. Philadelphia, August 21, 1021. In the spring of 1700 the collection of whst was known ns the "wlndow tux" was forcibly resisted In Northampton, Ilucks and Montgomery Counties, thla State, under the lead of John Fries. The United States officials were arrested or violently handled, and various excesses took place. Fries was sentenced to be hanged, but President Adams pardoned him. i The Bible Society To the Editor pt the Evenina Public Ltdaer: Sir I will appreciate It If you will tell me the history and alms of tha American Dlble Society.

Philadelphia, August 23, 1021. A little over" 4,000,000 slaves, were eman cipated by President Lincoln's proclamation. In 1800 the number of slaves In the coun try was 4.002.000.

PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION rlr'VJ'ifiV TriSmof'rfK new york . . A-, vscbsE3 ii I Manufacturers Who Win the Chicago Market Win the Richest Compact Market in the United States. Most manufacturers know this. They lmow that The Chicago Market, proper, which is Chicago itself, has nearly three million people, and what the people in The Chicago Mar ket do influences thirteen million more people in the five central states that comprise what is known n I as "The Chicago Territory! They realize also that geographically The Chicago Market is a wonderful stronghold to pos sess; that to find favor in The Chicago Market means to strengthen their influence in every ether market on the continent Now Chicago is not a hard market to win. in spite of the stories that have been carried away by those few who have failed. In winning it there are just two rules to follow: 1. "Cover Chicago first, and cover it thor oughly." 2. "When you come to Chicago, do as Chi cago does" In other words, forget about the thirteen million people in that great 400 mile radius out side of Chicago and concentrate your effort upon the three million people in Chicago. Once you have gained the good will of The Chicago Market, which is Chicago itself, you will find that the so called "Chicago Territory" representing the thir teen million people in the five central states sur rounding Chicago will already be half sold, deal ers and consumers alike, and waiting for you. So come to Chicago first. And, when you get to Chicago, do as Chicago does. To find out how Chicago business men aecujjo trade is simple Ask them. Ask them and you will find, on your own in vestigation, that The Chicago Daily News is tho one advertising medium that every merchant looks to, day after day, for his daily bread and cake. And that this is equally true of the largest concern on State Street and of the smallest out lying neighborhood stores. The merchandising power of THE CHI CAGO DAILY NEWS is easy to understand when you consider that this newspaper reaches seven out of every nine people in Chicago who read the English language. 94 of its entire circulation of 400,000 is concentrated within a radius of forty miles of Chicago's city hall. And Chicago, as a built up city with buildings shoulder to shoulder, is about twenty-four miles in length That gives you a slight conception of what a market you have to capture to win Chicago alone. It is not a hard job, but it must be a thorough job or all your efforts will have been in vain. And it can not be a thorough job unless you concentrate your Chicago campaign upon "The Chicago Market" through the all-inclusive, con centrated circulation of The Chicago Daily News. Use any other Chicago media that you want all of them if you will but never forget that you must cover the concentrated Chicago Market first before you go after the widespread Chicago Ter ritory; and that to cover The Chicago Market you must cover tlie 1,200,000 buyers who are reached through the 400,000 daily circulation of Jho Chit cago Daily Newt, . - 44 , 1 I , l irfM 9 . 4J-I I l-liw.'n s i,.
