THE ETHICS OF TREATING.

1t is very clear the New York Sun
does not take kindly to Oliver Sumner
Teall's crusade against treating; nor
does it appear to believe the abandon
ment Of the custom would greatly help
the cause Of temperance. "Treating,'
it declares, "involves reciprocation only
because it implies community OF friend
illness and courtesy. 1t assumes that
the same sentiment which influences
the giver influences the recipient. 1t
does not expect return in kind, 1T does
not expect anything"
AS purely ethical question this may
be all true enough, but practical expert
ence shows that one treat is followed by
another until some, if not all of those
partaking, indulge to an extent not con-
sistent with clear heads and easy stom-
achs on the morrow.
The ethics of treating may not re-
quire man to return in kind an invi-
tation to drink, but in nine cases out of
ten he does so and from that 'commun-
ity of friendlines" which the first glass
inspired.
In spite Of the Suns eloquent plea the
treating habit is a fruitful source Of in
ebriety, and it is safe to say that much
more than fifty per cent. of the young
men who become habitual drinkers can
trace their misfortunes to this danger
GUS custom.
No greater service could be rendered
the cause Of temperance than the aboli-
ton of treating; but it would
be futile to expect any real or
lasting good to result from the move.
ment inaugurated by Ollie Teall. His
purpose is not to render service to
society, but to exploit himself. The sup.
preston of this custom is simply fad
with him, and will be cast aside as have
many others before, when it fails to at
tract attention to the notoriety seeking
crusader.

"OlD GLORY.D

Today is the anniversary of the adop-
tion of the American flag, and In many
sections Of the country the schools are
observing the day with exercises that
are appropriate to the occasion.
Massachusetts several years ago began
to observe the event in the public
schools at the suggestion of the board
of education, and other states speedily
followed the example of the old Bay
state. Elsewhere in our columns is
described the way in which the Stars
and Stripes was chosen as our national
flag, and after careful thought and de-
liberation it was decided on June ID
that 1.-THE flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, representing
a new constellation.
Thus came into existence the stars
and stripes, the flag of freedom, which
so many thousand men have gladly laid
down their lives to preserve.
1t is flag that has never yet met
with defeat. Proudly over our vessels
at home and abroad it -aeats In the
breeze; over our public buildings and
school houses it waves, the symbo ol of
our free institutions. 1t is only bit of
bright colored bunting, yet dearer to
American hearts than life itself. 1t fs
flag that none dare insult, and which
covers today under its sheltering folds
5000, 900 of freemen.
1t is matter of some surprise that
the schools of Providence allow the day
to pass unnoticed, and another year
this mistake, for it is a mistake to fail
to impress lesson of patriotism on the
minds Of the children, should be recti-
fed. Rhode Island has always followed
the flag Loyalty and cheerfully, and her
sons and daughters of the present gen.
Grafton should be taught to love,
cherish and guard the flag Of their
fathers and of freedom. tl

A NEEDED CHANGE.

There is growing feeling. and 1t is
not without good ground. that there is
very little protection in a patent grant
ed under the United States laws.
AS matter of fact very little pro-
lection is given the owner of patent.
He receives a paper stating that the in
vention is his sole property and warn
ing others against infringing his rights,
but that is as far as the government
goes.
1t has often been the case that valua-
BILE patents have been deliberately stolen
and used by rich corporations and indi-
viduals in violation of the rights Of
owners who were unable to protect
themselves from this piracy because of
the great expense involved in long liti-
CATION in the United States courts. In
deed, the poor owner of valuable
patent is little better off than though
he had no patent at all, 80 far rs any
protection given him by the govern
ment is concerned.
Is there not need for reform in this
respect? The government is paid for
every patent it issues. Why, then,
should 1T not protect it from infringe
ment by rich and unscrupulous per-
sons It certainly seems that change
in direction is both desirable and Just.

THE decision of the Massachusetts,
supreme court to exclude the testimony
of Miss Borden given at the inquest
when her arrest was only deferred to
force her to testify will have very
salutary effect upon the method of
handling suspected persons by prose-
cnting officers. The News has referred
to the inquisition methods allowed by
courts and the growing lack of fairness
toward prisoners. Perhaps this decis-
ion of the Massachusetts court will tend
to inspire officials that it is necessary
to show that accused persons are guilty
rather than that they cannot conclu-
sively prove their innocence.
