To tbs Editor:
In answer tn the COW problem given By "Har.
seed. Of Mount Vernon, I will say there are three
points from which the COW could start and travel
a different distance each way. The longest way
and return she would travel l.4l3. 1884 feet; the
next. starting from a different point. she Sonld
travel 1,oos. 5573 feet. and the other. s''ll starting
from another point. she would travel 7s5. 1850 feet.
To illustrate, take the longest way. she would
travel three-duarters OF a circle whose diameter Is
200 feet. equals Al 1888 feet. and ona-quarter OF a
circle whose diameter is $50 feet. equals III. soa7
feet; also, onc-quartcr OF a circle whose diameter
Is 100 feet, equals rs. 1898 feet, and one-quar'cr ot a
circle whose diameter Is 50 feet. equals 80 2saa
feet. These. added and doubled. give l,ti3 1854

q PLEA FOR THE FLAG.
It is Good Enough Until We Get
"0ld Glory"

NR- EDITOR II remember once
hearing a native member of the Ha-
waiian parliament advance the pro-
position TO change the present flag,
not in form, but the order Of arrange
ment OF the stripes. He argued that
as the stripes began TO count from the
top downwards, white, red and blue,
etc, it proguosticated that event.
ually the white race would dominate
on these fair isles. He had a reason
for his wish TO change the flag, al
though that reason was based on SUI
perstition. What will be said of a
man who advances the proposition
and has no reason which he dares TO
utter for fear of exposing his ignor-
ance? He is merely an iconoclast or
an anarchist.
Let us analyse the Hawaiian flag.
1t is combination of the American
and British flags. To every lawyer
and lover of English history it is the
one flag which is emblematic of the
Anglo-Saxon race. 1t reminds US of
our common origin as Americans,
British, Germans and Scandinavians.
1t reminds us of the rights we have
inherited, of liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, and of the fearful wars
and sufferings our forefathers went
through TO acquire those rights.
Perchance some thoughtless Amer
leans will say, "But we do not like
that Jack in the corner" If he will
stop a minute, and analyse that Jack,
he will see it Is the cross, an emblem
which the Crusaders, in the days of
chivalry, so calamity followed to the
very gates of Jerusalem. Would you
strike that from the flag, with your
knowledge of the innumerable bene-
fits which have come to humanity
from Christ's teachings?
The inventor of the Hawaiian flag
built better than he thought when he
the Stripes and the Jack with
all the history and poetry attached to
those flags.
Tt has been said that the light was
travelling westward, but is it not a
fact that IN the matter of flag which !
should float over our cosmopolitan |
we are brought to a |
in amazement at the wis !
dom of the inventor of our dear Ha- |
waiian flag.
May it wave until in due process of |
time it is suppIanted by that Star |
Spangled Banner, cold Glory" and |
then let us teach our boys to shoot the |
traitor who will dare to order it pulled |
