LACKING IN PATRIOTISM OR
WHATg

IL has so long been the custom to have
the national flag floating over the
capitol at Washington when Congress is
in session and over the various State
capitols when the Legislatures are
in session that it strikes one as
peculiarly odd that in England
the national flag has never been hoisted
over the House of Parliament. Great
Britain is unique in this particular,
being the only nation that does
not SO display its national
flag. Attempts have been made for
years in Parliament to have the custom
adopted but without avail until finally the
Government declared that no money was
apprc Priated for this purpose. A member
Immediately rose to his feet and volun-
teered to contribute the necessary funds
and at last, stung by the taunts of those
who patriotically desired to see the flag
floating above the Houses of Parliament,
money has been appropriated and the
Union Jack-not the royal ensign, be it
observed--will hereafter float from the
Victoria tower of the House of Parlia-
ment during sessions. The sight of the
national flag is always an object lesson
in patriotism.
A distinguished American traveller
in England once commented upon the
omission TO raise the flag over the
House of Parliament by inquiring,
"Why do you not have your flag over
your House of Parliament" 1--WE
know what our flag is" was the prompt
response. The same American shortly
after accompanied the same Eng
lishman to the theater and
as the entertainment came
to close the audience rose TO its feet
and sang "God Save the Queen" to the
English national air. ''By the way" said
the Euglishman "what is your national
air?"
And the American hung his head.
1--WE have no national air" he was
forced to reply. Thus in some particu-
lars relating TO patriotism we
are far behind our British cousins.
In her Britannia Majesty's domains,
never a concert, theater or other enter
tainment closes without the audience
rising 10 its feet and singing "God
Save the Queen IL is simple
act, but it constantly reminds the
people of their loyalty to their
ruler and their country, and the omis-
sion 60 pay such homage 10 the head of
the Government and consequently 10
the Government itself is the most
marked insult possible.
In foreign countries the lack of ma
tional air frequently places our represen-
tatives in very embarrassing positions.
In responding TO toasts when England's
name is mentioned, an English band can
strike up God Save the Queen" the
French band plays the MarseiIlaise when
France is named, but who knows what to
play when the name Of the United States
is pronounced? II may be DIR. Smiths
grand hymn America, which is a copy
OF "God Save the Queen" or It may be
Yankee Doodle" or the "Star Spangled
Banner but neither can justly lay claim
TO being the national air.
This lack should be supplied and at
once. That was very pretty custom
which was started in Boston
theatre some years ago, and which has
since spread quite extensively, Of
dismissing the audience by the playing
Of Star SDangled Banner" by the or

Experience taught the wage earners that
notlonly the enactment OF such n measure as
the Wilson bill, but that its threatened
passage, would cause widespread stagnation
in the manufacturing and busi-
ness world. Protection TO the industries

tho average workingman has adopted. and II

Ir is worth thinking about that the
Democratic vote last Wednesday was
about as big as it was in '93. The big

always carry Rhode Island.

Potatoes.

spraying Potatoes Is the title Of q
bulletin Of The Vermont agricultural
experiment station at Burlington,
which has Just come TO hand. Ii is
"a l6-page pamphlet containing a
number of Illustrations showing the
character Of the potato blight>, and
the effect of spraying upon the Weld
and size OF potatoes. \ spraying cart
for the ready application Of fmgicides
is also illustrated. The bulletin is
summarized on the first page in plain
black type, and a table of suggestions
shows how to make and apply the
Bordeaux mixture and where to OBJ
tain spraying machinery. The main
points brought out in the bulletin are:
j. That two distinct blights attack
Vermont potatoes.
>. That both are o thoroughly
checked by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture than by any other means.
3. That The greatest gain in spray
ing is due to p%rolonging the life of the
plant, enabling it thus 10 grow more
and better potatoes.
4. That potatoes planted in the
middle OF May were kept free Of dis
ease with less spraying than those
planted earlier, and have also given
the largest yield.
). That spraying large fields IS
best done with a cart.
We are sure that the spray cart will
interest many of our readers who have
found the application Of Bordeaux
mixture tedious task.
All bulletins and reports of the sta
ton are sent free OF charge to any adj
dress on application.
