HIS LITTLE ERROR.
An Incident in the Career OF . Young
and Happy Father.


The story is on Young Chicago father.
The baby was his first, and he wanted to
weigh it.
"It's bouncerI" he exclaimed. Where
are the scales?"
The domestic huntedup an old fashioned
steelyard that had como down from for
mer generation. 1t was the only weighing
machine in the house. The baby, wrapped
in the fleecy folds of some light fabric, was
suspe" led from the proper hook, and the
proud young father assumed charge of the
exe5ci rs
sliding the weight along the beam TO that
figure.

| ponder wen tnle query, lor tne cah-
wasting committees will now knock at
your door and want an answer. Bestir
your thinking faculties, honest citi-
zens, and be ready when called on,
either to give specious excuse or
back your convictions with something
substantial. The advertising can
vassers are worse than census num-
orators, and they tell me they are
keeping a black list of those who re-
fuse to subscribe when solicited, to be
published in the column adjoining the
subscribers list. There are hundreds
of we'll to do citizens who have never
contributed picayune pro bono
publico. Indeed, there are so many
such that our city has not kept pace
with her Texas sisters, though she
possesses natural advantages and
possibilities far beyond the others.
She can easily look down upon all her
rivals from an educational and social
standpoint. With her varied scenery,
balmy winter breezes and unexcelled
natural drainage, the health seeker
cannot fail to yield her
the palm over the only real competitor
San Antonio. Her central location
both with reference to inland Texas
and the several shipping points scat
tered along the gulf coast justly en-
titles her to the claim of occupying
better situation for a rail
way center than either Dallas,
Fort Worth or Houston. Her
proximity to the minerals OF
Llano, the vast cotton fields of the
middle counti' s, and the wool markets
of San Angelo and San Antonio, taken
in connection with the immense
water power being developed, should
rank her not only with Dallas and
New Birmingham, but with Lowell, as
a manufacturing point But does the
world know these things? No! and
the reason is thtre are so many slow
coaches, so many mossbacks, so many
narrow minded business men, so many
dry bones that need rafting, so many
good citizens who cling to backwoods
ideas and to the rffete business meth
DDS in vogue long before the war. If
we don't keep up with the
times what good will natural
advantages and great possibilities
do us? Every other impor tant city in
Texas is spending more than we are
in advertising and every other impor-
tant city has grown faster than Aus
tin. The address of the advertising
committee has the true ring in it and
if we mistake not this move marks an
epoch in our progress. Help the COM
mittee herald to the world what Aus
tin is and is to become. Send word to
the capitalist the splendid oppor
tunities for. investment Austin Of
fers. Tell the blizzard stricken
farmers of our mild winters and rich
black soil. Inform the eastern man
uacturer of our mineral ores, the
abundance of our raw material and
our grand water power, wasting for
the want of turbines. Let the invalid
of the bleak northern and eastern
states know that we live in wonder
full sanitarium where sunny skies and
balmy winds will prolong his life to
venerable old age. If you do this
then may we expect Austin to take
her true place as facile princeps
among her rivals. ELoY.

RED.

There is all the beautiful Symbolism
OF the original stars and stripes in this
design, with the added idea-unity,
strength, and, consequently, safety.
The forty-three States are gathered
under the protecting shield of the
Union. Closely viewed they can be
distinguished as clearly-cut individual
stars, signifying that within the shield
OF the Union they represent sovereign
States; but viewed from afar they re-
solve themselves into o shield studded
with stars emblematic Of shelter, in
vulnerability and peace, an invitation
to tho oppressed, an assurance of pro-
lection to the weak and . Joy and q
blessing to the industrious and well-be-
havcd.
There Is nothing belligerent about
this design, but with the shield there
always goes the suggestion Of the sword
and buckler, il need be-, for the main
tenance of the right. The shield of
stars wherever it was known, on its
field OF blue, would blazon to the world
the American sentiment Of: millions
for defense, but not a ploayune for trib-
ute."
Besides its symbolic merits the shield
admits OF such infinite variations,
while retaining its unmistakable char
acter, that no future expansion Of the
Union can strain its form out Of artistic
and significant proportions. When
wyoming and Arizona come into the
constellation Of States we can have:

STANFORD SATISFIED.

It appears that Leland Stanford is
satisfied with the Mckinley bill all
the same as Jay Gould. An Eastern
dispatch says:
In an interview with Senator Leland
Stanford, who has just returned from
brief trip to Europe, he said to an
interviewer: II am satisfied the Nc
kinley bill is the best possible express
sion OF the protective policy to which
] take 1t this country owes its great.
est growth in wealth."
Stanford isa fifty or sixty ply mil.
lionalre and why shouldn't he b,
satified with policy under which hi:
enormous wealth has been acquiredt
Jay Gould is satisfied with it, and ali
nillionaires are satisfied with it.
Why notP It was made for them. To
the protective policy they owe their
untold millions, policy which heaps
up wealth for them in winrows.
When Stanford says: "This country
owes to the protective policy it's great
est growth of wealth" what does he
,neanf He means the countryt
growth in millionaires. 1--WE are the
country" they gay. "See how We,
the country, have hourished under
the protective policy, and we art
satisfied the Mckinley bill is the best
possible expression OF the protective
Poi;cyy."-ttYi-Sin!e Chronicle.
The result Of last Tuesdays cleo
tions shows that the people are not
satisfied with the Mckinley bill, how
ever much the millionaires rejoice
over it. The result also proves that
the interests OF the laborers of the
country are not identical with those
OF the millionaire. 1t proves more
over that the people have some rights,
and that they dare assert them. The
reign Of Mckinley, and Lodge, and
the gold bugs of Wall street is near
its end.

One Of the Virginia papers charges
that votes were bought in that CITY
election day. If suoh is the fact, it is
the duty of MIR. Cassidy to contest
the election of his opponent, in whose
interest the votes are said to have
been purchased. Mr.. Bartine is on
record, AZ having voted to unseat
several members Of Congress for no
other reason than to increase the ma
iority Of his party in the House. Now,
il it DO true that bribery was prac-
ticed to elect Mr.. Bartine, bis seat

From Robert Allen Campbell's valu-
able work, entitled 'tOur Flag, or the
Evolution Of the Stars and Stripes" we
learn that there has never been any 40
ton Of Congress to determine In what
manner the stars should be arranged
In tho union. In the original stars and
stripesof 1777 twelve stars encircled one
large one in the center Of the blue union.
In 1918 Congress fixed the horizontal
stripes alternate red and white at thir-
teen, and the white stars in the blue
union at twenty, to represent the num-
Der OF States then in existence, and
provided for the addition Of one star
for each new State on the Fourth OF
July next succeeding its admission.
The first official flag displayed over
the House of Representatives after the
passage of this act had the stars ar
ranged so as to form large Ave-
pointed star, concentric with the union.
and some like arraniyement has often
been attempted since.
It Is time now, however, says America,
patriotic Chicago periodical, that the
disposition Of the stars in the union was
determined by something more worthy
OF National respect than the within or
the fancy Of the incapables Of the Navy
Department. There are many forms in
which a group of forty-three or more
stars may be arranged with dignity and
effectiveness. OF these, none appears
to be more available than that Of the
heraldic shield suggested in the accom-
panying diagram:
