patriotism, the amusing feature Of
the situation Will soon disappear.
There is something pathetic in the
sight OF these men and their ragged,
old flag.
They are American citizens, and
they have q right TO carry that old
flag. Most of them inherit as much
natural talent and intellect as the
average congressman. They started
on their tramp to Washington inn
bued with the same spirit Of pa
triotism that takes men to war.
They were serious; they were earn
est; they were hopeful. Their inten-
tions were honorable and their flag
was new and clean. They have en-
dured the heat of summer and the
chilling sneers of their representa-
tives in congress. They have been
arrested, kicked about, and threatened
with baYonets and cold lead. Their
hopes are vanished and they are
silent and sad.
Like q child that cherishes the gar
msnt its mother wore before she de-
serted it, these men cling to their ma
tion's flag. And they ought to. For
what could more patheticslly tell the
tale Of their suffering, or describe the
condition Of their country more elO-
qusntly than that dirty, tattered, old
old flag?
