One Grand Army Member Thinks tho
Thing Can Be Overdone.

SEATTLE, FEB. 10, 1871
To THE EDITOR: ! see in your yesterday >
issue resolution from John F. Miller post in
forming the members of the legislature that 1t
10 the sense Of the-post that there should be a
law passed a: this session to empower school di-
rcctors TO spend money to purchase United
States flags and to hoist the same over the
schoolhouses in our state. am a member OF
John +. Miller post and am opposed TO the pass
age OF such an act for the following reasons:
First-The United States flags should always
look new and clean. faded and torn flag
should not be used. A flag OH a schoolhouse
would in q short time be only a faded rag.
SecOnd-The flag should be used only on great
and patriotic occasions, Memorial day, Fourth
Of July, etc, then it will mean something and
will be noticed. Should the flag be raised on
every house every day it would mean nothing.
Thifd-The small boy who is to be taught this
lesson of loyalty and pstri otism needs no teach
ing OF that kind, but needs lessons to hold
broader and kinder views of other natious.
Children are inclined to be narrow and selfish.
Fourth--A flag teaches nothing This is the
old heather idea OF teaching religion by a fet-
ish, giving lessons in patriotism oy looking at q
flag.
If, however, John F. Miller post wishes to
engage in the business OF teaching patriotism
and loyalty, and will go to work on the present
generation and will compel editors and poll
ticians who are engaged in arraying class
against class. and who are creating discomfort
among the laboring classes for partisan pur-
poses. to wear flags on their breasts I will
be with them f. NJ. SCHRACK.

Judge Jackson, although q Southerner
and = Democrat, VAS not IN the Confeder-
ate army, and he Was never associated
With the extreme secessionist or state
rights wing of the old Southern aristoc-
racy. Judge Jackson Is thought highly Of
by the Republicans Of Tennessee. One OF
them has lately written 10 the lndianapo-
lis journal calling special attention 10 the
broad national spirit of his judicial de-
c.slons, showing that state rights bigotry
Is not u part Of his intellectual eqUi pnient.
