it.

INSPIRATION NOT coMpuLs1oN.

Apropos of flag day, which was
fittingly observed in various states,
it is instructive to note that Illinois
has just rescinded the law passed a
few years ago, making the display
of the flag on public schools and
other public buildings at all time
compulsory. The flag symbolizes
an ennobling sentiment, and the
value of this sentiment lies wholly
in its spontaneity. The beauty OF
flag day is that it comes not from
legislative minds, but from the
hearts of the people and without
legislative help it can be trusted to
find observance in increasing meas.

Barney Barnato, the South Afri.
can multi.millionaire, has jumped of
ship and drowned himself. When
a man begins with nothing, makes a
fabulous fortune by sheer specula-
tion and adventure, and then loses
heavily, suicide is not an unnatural
end to his career. Men who make
fortunes by rendering to mankind a
just equivalent for every dollar they
receive neither lose their fortunes
upon turn of the die nor cast them
selves overheard when misfortune
overtakes them. Barney Barnato
has lived a gambler. That he has
died like a gambler is no wonder

Monday to investigate the claims to
reinstatement of a number of old
soldiers who were dismissed from the

soldiers and came to the conclusion
that many of them were wrongfully
dismissed. The matter was left for the
present in the hands of Superintendent
Kretz, who will select about 20 of the
least efficient of his present force for
dismissal in order that about that
number of old soldiers may be rein

confessed that he and the dead man
stole the boy, but he would not tell
where he was, or if living. Now
father Ross is dead, after the years
of effort, expense and struggle that
he made to get his son from the ras-
