Irish History
EDITOR THE TIMES:
In a recent Issue in defining

inent "we seek the truth dili
gently and print it simply."
In an article of the same date,
jcalled "The Real History of Ire
land," 1 fear you either failed to
find the truth or failed to print It,
ps It is full of misstatements.
You say the Irish were driven
from the land which was turned
Over to the settlers. You don't

the Indian was driven from the

An Irishman told me once that
It was unnatural for an Irishman
to work on land. To linn' and fish

Was that not enough to set
Rome by the ears? You say
.lames I made the law of England
the sole law of Ireland. You can
truthfully add that this was the
first law Ireland had ever known
If you know of uny law In Ire
land prior to that I would like to
hear of It. We have an example
iof an lawless country here' in

Inot Mexico be happier under the

The laws of the IT. S. A. are
founded on the Knglish laws. You

You fail to state that James I
and II were Catholics ami the
mission to Ireland was to exter

However, he did not kill off the

You would have us believe
George, the protestant king, was
the cause of tiie complete downfall
of Ireland. Then- the American
revolution encouraged tho Irish
to demand emancipation from

restored us soou as the protestant
massacres stopped.
In 168!) they wanted emanci

why is it that the people of the
north of Ireland are as happy and
; prosperous as any people in the
British empire or the U. S. A.?
Besides paying one-half the

never forced the government to
pass any reform bill. It was

other measure Gladstone had—al

Are you aware that Ireland has]

Is that an example of oppres-!

the British because they were ed-1

some cheap sarcasm about the!

Substitutes
EDITOR THE TIMES:
If you will allow me a little
space in your paper in support of
B. F. Taylor's letter in regards
to substitutes. It coat him $7.87
for » sack of flour and the sub-!
stitutes included.
Mr. Editor, why that big elec
tric sign on Dock "street which
advertises Peacock Flapjacks and
some other substitutes, that and
other billboard advertising is whyi
we are paying so high for our
flour.
It's the man that's trying to]
produce something to win this
war, the working man, is the fall
guy.' The hotels and restaurants
don't have to buy that, because 1
when a man orders his meal In a
restaurant he orders what he
wants.
Lots of people are not using t'.ie
flag for freedom and victory;
they are using It for an umbrella.
Now, Mr. Editor, these food
profiteers may not mean any]
harm, but they are constantly,
making it hard for the man that
is trying to produce something.
To win this war we cannot keep
up and pay these prices. Why
these wheat substitutes anyway?
Why not have them made in the
flour? They all come from the
grain anyway—only to make us
pay more. Everybody ought to
take this matter up, and with aid
of The Times give us our choice
in war saving stamps in prefer
ence to substitutes at a higher
price than the wheat flour stuff.
Yours respectfully,
M. A. JOHNS.
