of days is at hand That is why the
star spangled banner is in the mlnds
of everybody.
The orators with silver tongues have
told and the poets nave sung ABOUT al
that is great and glorious regarding
the old flag. So much for PATRIOTISM.
Really, the flag is very prosaic bene-
fit, apart from the sentiment that at
taches to it. Thousands and thous-
ands of people gain their living, from
one years end to another, in making
United States flags. Think OF 1t. Ev-
cry year, the people of The Unlteu
States buy three millions of flags. Dur
ing that same period million hags
disappear. Nobody knows where they
go to.
The American flag has just passed
it's one hundred and twenty-tirst birth
day. The patched up affair that Bet
sey Ross gave to the world ct the time
of the revolutionary war has been re-
produced millions of times. Yet the
only change from the design that the
expert fingers of Mrs. Ross prepared
is in the number Of stars. 1t is just
the same flag in appearance that dec
grated the hall in which the first con-
gress of the United States met. IL
is a finer flag now in point Of material,
and almost any sort can be bought that
one is willing to pay for, but whether
it be silk or paper, it is the stars ana
stripes. the idol of the people, whose
fame increases with the addition Of ev-

And all the time we think OF the
poetry and prose of the flag. II any

Electric Fans in sleeping Cars.

The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
Railway officials have solved the problem
of cooling sleeping cars in stations at
night. At Cincinnati, Louisville and ST.
Louis this line has sleeping cars placed in
the stations at 10 p. M, which do not de-
part until after midnight and, in order to
make them comfortable and cool, have
placed 16-inch rotary electric fans in each
end of the sleepers, thus removing the
heated and impure air from all parts of
the car. The fans have been in operation
about two weeks and have been the sub
iect of many favorable comments from the
travelling public.

Off his head, and despite the onlookers
he gave three as lusty cheers for the
stars and stripes as ever came from an
American throat. AS the writer reach
ed him, he turned about and with tears
rolling down his cheeks, said 81
did not know that the sight of any
thing could touch me like that" And
then he cheered again.
This is just by way of evidence that
the average person who looks at, waves
and carries the American flag has real
ly no idea of the place in his heart
that it holds. If anything were ever
a thing of beauty and joy forever, it
is the flag of the United States. Thous-
ands Of people say that it does not
protect them when away from home.
1t has been said in mass meetings
that it was no longer the flag Of the
free. And yet there is not one of those
who make the remarks referred to who
would not fight in a minute for that
same flag if any one beside an Ameri-
can citizen spoke against it.
A singular fact concerning the Amer
lean flag and the people over whom it
floats is that with all reverence for it
they are dreadfully irreverent with it.
The flag is something to be cheered
and saluted and honored in every way,
but when it is worn out it Is cast aside
and a new one substituted. Nobody
knows and nobody cares where the
worn out ones go to. Sufficient to the
day is the fact that they have served
their purpose.
This by no means refers TO the bat
tie flags. No. indeed. If there are

lightfu1 than the dew of patriotism that
really springs from the heart of the
American citizen, whether he be old
and hard-featured or in the flush of
youth
When we wake up on a Fourth of
July morning, those of us who have
passed beyond the delightful time Of
4 a. m. and firecrackers, we are often
disposed to make sundry and pointed
remarks about the noise that we hear
But when we gather ourselves together
and get to the window and look out;
when we see on the nearest flagstaff
the stars and stripes, brilliant and
beautiful as the debutante in the first
flush of social success, we forget about
the noise. We only remember that we
are citizens of the greatest republic the
world ever knew, and we know that
any disturbance we may hear is in
honor of that flag which is floating
above us. We are proud of it.
And then, as the day grows apace
and all that it means is borne in upon
US, the words of genius come back to
us and we say to ourselves that nature
herself shows US that the United States
will never be sundered. France has
the lily, England has the rose, Scotland
has the thistle, Ireland has the sham
rock. All these have their day and
pass from earth, but the stars shine Cd
forever.

Nerves out of Tune.

Just as the strings of musical instrumen,

break out into ear-torturing dscords when

nerves are out of tune more or less, and the
real tobacco-slave's nerves relaxed to the

THE CITY ELECTION

In another column of The UNION
will be found call for the joint city
convention to be held on April 9th.
The idea Of a Joint convention is Il
good one, uniting as it does the
forces striving for municipal, coun-
ty, state and national reform.
While during the past two years
Rapid City has not suffered mater
tally from a poor or incompetent ad-
ministration, yet there is room for
much improvement in the manage
ment of city affairs. Furthermore.
events of the coming year Or two
bid fair to call for an unusually eff
Gent city admins tration. With a
good city governmet Rapid City is
going to overcome every obstacle in
her path and forge ahead.
This joint convention will name a
winning ticket fit names good one.
We have the votes to elect com
petent men, but incompetcnts must
take back seat. This is no time
for them. Let this joint conven-
ton name clean men, who are eff
Gent and capable, and the result
cannot be doubted. They will be
elected, and the people of Rapid
City. irrespective of political color,
will stand for the support Of an
economical and businesslike al
ministration. That is what Rapid
City needs. Attend the primaries
ard lay the foundation for victor
ious city campaign and a competent
and economical city government.
