gin of the Stars and Stripes.
[Chicago Inter~Ocean.l
"A private exhibition showing the
evolution of the American flag was
given Tuesday evening in parlor o of
the Palmer hause by Augustus Bed
ford, national secretary of the Aneri-
can Flag Protectors. whose grand
father, Hon. Peter H. Wendover a
Congressman from New York, designed
the present flag. The first flag was the
st. George Cross, which was the
emblem of the colonies from 1497-16S6.
Next, King James sent the Governor
Andres flag in 1856, which had wider
bars than the former one, with the
monogram 81. R." and a crown in the
center.
The union jack was in vogue from
1707-1773, when the pine tree flag was
adopted 1t consisted Of a white back
ground upon which was the tree and
phrase, FAN Appeal to Heaven" This
was followed by the General Putnam
flag, a red background with the mot
toes, "Qui transtulit sustine.t' and ''An
Appeal to Heaven inscribed thereon
The Colonel Moultrie flag had a blue
field with a crescent and the word
Liberty inscribed on it.
The Cambridge flag, consisting Of a
combination of the union jack and red
and white stripes was designed by
Washington. It was followed by the
Gadsden flag with yellow ground, q
coiled serpent and motto Don't Tread
on Ne"
The first flag of the Independent
states was f1oated in 1777. It consisted
of thirteen stars in a circle and thirteen
stripes.
The flag of the war of 1912 had f1f-
teen stars and fifteen stripes.
The present banner was approved by
President Monroe, April 4, 1918,
a branch of the American Flag Pro-
tectors was formed in parlor o of the
Palmer house last evening. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: T. B.
Bryson, president; E. G. Stearns, vice
president; w. R. Delano, secretary; w
F. Albright, treasurer; T. B. Cryson,
representative to the National Council
The objects of the organization are
to procure a national law prohibiting
the defacing of the national flag by in
scripdons and advertisements printed
thereon; to oppose the flying of
foreign flags in the United States, and
to spead the knowledge of the history
of the national emblem.

.aIR. BLAND HOPES FOR ACTION.


Representative Bland the defeated bui
irrepressible leader of the free silver
party in the House. says he proposes
to call a meeting of the committee on
coinage, weights and measures, to con-
slider the financial measures presented
in the presidents message. He appre-
ciates the fact that it might be difficult
to frame a measure to meet success
fully all the views of aspiring finan-
ciers in Congress but he pno5osea r.
call his committee together and look
over the field with the hope of being
able to present a scheme to relieve
the financial depression that will pass
both houses and merit the approval Of
the president. Mr.. Bland says he has
not figured out his plan of action yet,
and it is for that reason that he is
anxious to consult with his associates
on the coinage committee.-Washing

That Freight Bureau.

The committee appointed by the mayor
to bring about the establishment of a
freight bureau in this city after a careful
consideration of the matter, reached the
conclusion that such a bureau could be
made to be of immense benefit to the
merchants of this city. subcommittee
have been appointed, therefore, to raise
the money necessary to support a
bureau.
IL seems that the members of the COM
mittee are confident, from facts in their
possession, that Savannah is being dis
eliminated against in way that is hurt
ing her business and checking her
growth. ~
Savannah is ceasing to be distributing
point for certain classes of goods, be-
cause the railroads carry them from New
York and Chicago to their destination in
Savannah's territory at as cheap a rate
as they bring them to Savannah 1t is
apparent that as long as this is done Sa-
vannah will suffer business losses. Any
one of Savannah's wholesale mer-
chants can point to determinations
that have been and are still
hurting their business. Savannah
has the advantage of cheap water trans
portatton, but the railroads overcome il
by giving the interior towns and cities
freight rates which place them on an
equal footing with Savannah. Indeed, it
is alleged that in some respects the in
terror towns are given an advantage.
Savannah's business men will not stand
that sort Of treatment much longer.
1t does look as if in some instances the
freight rates are fixed so as to make the
Savannah business pay the interest or
bonds of roads that could not otherwise
pay their fixed charges. If such is the
case it viii be brought out by the freight
bureau. and steps will be taken TO compe
the railroads to accord TO Savannah the
rights to which she is entitled.

Two Candidates.

In political circles il is quite generally
understood that Senators Hill and Cor
man are candidates for the presidential
nomination Of the Democratic party in
I 1896. At the last session of congress each
/ strove for leadership iE the Senate, with
( the view of bringing himself more promi-
nently before the country. Senator Hill
voted against the tariff bill for the alleged
/ reason that he opposed the income tax
( feature of it, and Senator German was
chiefly Instrumental in greatly changing
the character of the Wilson bill as it
passed the House. Each thinks ap-
parently that he pursued a course that
will eventually be popular.
1t is certain that the course pursued by
Senator German is being pretty generally
condemned now. Even in his own state
he has lost much of the political strength
he once had. He finds it difficult to get
his party to submit to his dictation. He
thinks, however, that public sentiment
in respect to himself will change
in a short time, and that the
change will be brought about
by the prosperity the country will enjoy
in consequence of the amendents he
helped TO ingraft upon the Wilson bill.
Time alone can determine whether or not
he is a safe political prophet
The democrats of New York do not con-
demn Senator Hill for voting against the
Wilson bill. He is the idol of his party
in that state. Against his will he has been
nominated for governor. If he should
score victory he would be
much nearer a Presidential nomination
than ever before Indeed, he would stand
an excellent chance of getting the nomi-
nation, because it would be urged, and
that, too, with reason, that he alone could
carry his state, and it will probably ap-
pear that the successful party in the next
national campaign will be the party that
carries New York.
AS between Senators Hill and German,
therefore, in their contest for the presi-
Dental nomination of their party, the for
mer has atpresent a very great advan-
tage over the latter, but if Senator Hill
should be beaten this fall for governor
he would cease to be presidential posi-
bility.

rhe Wilson Dinner IL london.

The dinner given by the chamber oi
commerce of London last Thursday even
ing, complimentary to Hon. William L.
/ Wilson, chairman of the committee on
ways and means, will undoubtedly be
made the text of many editorials in re-
/ publican papers and many speeches by
republican campaign speakers. The din
I ner will be pointed to as an indication
/ that the Wilson tariff is legislation in the
direction desired by English manufactur-
ers because they believe it will enable
| them to find market for the products of
their factories in the United States.
That is the argument the protectionists
have always used against tariff reduc-
tion. 1t is an argument that has had
great influence. IL has lost its force,
however. The people are beginning to
see that the purpose of high protective
duties is not so much to preserve the
home market for home manufacturers as
to enable the home manufacturers to make
enormous profits.
Mr. Wilson stated the situation clearly
in the speech he made at the dinner. The
purpose of the tariff reformers, he said,
was to emancipate the industries of the
country to free them from the bur
dens which had excluded them from
the markets of the world. In the
course of his remarks he said: THE pro-
lection principles of the United States
had been built as defenses to keep the
people of Great Britain and others from
competing with their home markets, but
the tariff reformers are now tearing down
these defenses in order to let themselves
out so that they might compete with the
British and other markets. The future
would prove that the manufacturing in
dustry of the world would 90 to the peo-
pie who had the largest supply of basic
materials and industry and the cheapest
access thereto, and who also applied the
highest Intelligence to their manufac-
lures" Mr.. Wilson expressed the opinion
that instead of the English manufacturers
capturing the American markets the
manufacturers of this country would be-
come competitors of the manufacturers
of England and other countries
for the control of the markets of the
world. The United States have the
basic materials and the cheapest access
thereto. They have also the intelligence
to make the most of their advantages
Under the protective system the indus
tries Of this country have been shut out
of other markets practically. The Will
son tariff is the opening wedge that will
give them entrance to those markets.
The protectionists will, of course
fiercely combat Mr.. Wilson'S views. but if
prosperity follows the Wilson tariff, aud
the prospect now is that it will, his views
will prevail, and this country will event
ually do a very large part of the manu-
featuring demanded by the world.

Under the Seat.

Il saw a most ridiculous Joke played on a

Kan. TO the Chicago Times Two men
boarded the train at Usage City and took a
seat In the smoker Just in front of me. 1t was
evident from their conversation, which was
carried on in quite a loud tone, that they were
both of them in hard luck and were going to
Topeka in search of employment, One of
them placed his ticket on the seat while he
lit very inferior cigar, and his companion
quickly picked it up and put il in his no ;ket
A few minutes later the man missed his
ticket and went through the usual
pantomime of turning out all his pockets
and looking in his hat lining. Knowing
the conductor would be around in moment,
and also that he had not enough money in his
pocket to pay his fare again, he began asking
the advice OF his friend. who sugge sted

other alternative for the unfortunate man,
who cramped himself under the seat as sug-
gested When the conductor came along the
practical joker handed him two tickets, and
was, of course, asked who the second one was
for. He replied that II was for his friend
who preferred riding under the seat where
upon the victim OF the joke crawled out and
amid general laughter, knocked the dust off
his clothes and promised to break his friend S
