Obituary Notes.
A Protest..
To the Editor of the Press:


The sight of the flag of our country ought
to make us cheerful. That flag should al
ways fly high. If this new custom of dis
playing the flag above our school houses-a
custom which hope to see perpetuated-is
to be turned into a means of gloom rather
than gladness, want to protest.
The flags on our public buildings last year
were half-masted about as often as they were
displayed. Is there any sense In having
these school house flags half-masted when
ever a child dies? Does that make the schol-
ars love their country more? think not.
Let us have 1t understood now, before any
more precedents are make, that these flags
are to stay at the masthead except on some
such occasion as the death of a president or
a governor.
how would it look If the doctors hung out
flags and pulled them down when a patient
died? or II the lawyers had flags and draped
them in black when they lost case?
That Is not what the flag is for. 1t is the
flag Of country-a happy country-and not
to be the sign of mourning for individuals.
