WOULD NOT WALK
 ON THE AMERICAN FLAG

HIS war has served to bring forth
 all the latent patriotism that has
 been slumbering in many women's s
 breasts. Some women there be,
 however, who even before the war was thought of possessed the celestial spark called patriotism, which needed but such times as these to cause it to burst forth into glorious blaze.
 Of these Miss Mary Bates, now Mrs. Mcclellan, is one. With her artistic hands and brain, for many years she has been the chief decorator where any swell function has been given.
 Some time ago she was called upon to decorate for a large reception. She was given several flags, which, the hostess explained, were to be laid upon the stairs leading up to the room in which the entertainment was to be given. With an inward rage. such as a woman feels when her religion has been attacked or her finer sensibilities outraged, Miss Bates turned and de- manded of the woman if she had no more reverence for her flag than to place it where it would be trampled

 Miss McKinstry has taken this steI without the usual blazoning and her. aiding that generally accompanies sucf a venture on the part of a society girl Only her family and most intimate friends are aware of the fact. Only her most intimate friends are ac- quainted with her plans. She has not gone into the hospital with rose-colored sentimental i'd as to the duties anG offices of a trained nurse.
 For some time past Miss McKinstry has been a director of the Children S Hospital She knows the thousand duties that fall to the lot of a nurse careful attention to every want of the patients, the giving of medicines, look ing after the food, cracking ice, chang ing the beds, helping with ne band ages and regular reports of everything that takes place.
 She knows the days of weary standing and the sleepless nights, of the nUmberless discomforts tha- must be borne unh4nchingly; of the steady hand, the quick eye, the tireless feet that must ever be ready to serve and obey Yet knowing all these things Miss McKinstry has gone into the work. Forgotten is golf and the hunt dancing and dining, teas and recep- tions. In cap and gown and .pron she performs her duties as uncomplainingly as her sister nurses who have not been brought up in homes of ease and lux ury.
 Miss McKinstry's friends remonstrat- ed with her when they heard of her intentions. But she was determined. She put patriotism before pleasure, suf- fering before self. She refused to let them make a heroine of her. She was doing no more nor less than ot-.er wo- men. She begged that the matter be not discussed.
 Would she really go to the front? ?' friends asked on every side.
 She had not yet had any training If the war lasted and her experience was considered sufficient for the Red Cross to call upon her why that would be another matter. Thus she met all questions and tried to break the ripple of surprise and excitement that stirred society over new departure. For
 
 bilities and duties of a Red Cross nurse as well, and she knows that they can not be assumed lightly nor without due qualifications.
 She has just returned from the East where are the national headquarters of the Red Cross, and she has gleaned enough of the inside of the work to make her fully aware of the duties and sacrifices entailed upon all those work ing under its banner.
 Miss McKinstry moves about among her sister nurses doing exactly as they do, neither asking nor receiving. special privileges owing to her social promi- hence or her position as one of the di- rectors of the institution. She is al- ready great favorite.

Episcopal:ans and Divorce.

The convocation of the Protestant
Episcopal church. recently in session
at Washington, D: c., started out to
modify and liberalize its canons re-
specting the re-marriage Of men and
women who have been granted DEGREES
OF divorce where the complaint against
the defendant was adultery. In the
first place, the committee on revision
of canons began by reporting a provi-
sion that mo minister of this church
shall solemnize the marriage of either
party to a divorce during the lifetime
Of the other party" This was met by
a substitute offered by Bishop Henry
G. Potter, Of New York, permitting the
re-marriage of the innocent party Aft
er a debate lasting four days, the Pot
ter substitute was adopted by a vote
of 80 to 81. On Monday last, however,
on reconsideration vote, the decision
was arrived at that no action be taken
looking to the modification of the
canons on the subject, and further ac-
ton on the matter has been deferred
until the next convocation three years
hence.

Uniforms of All Times.

From the Chicago News.
The varied costumes Of the returning soldier
boys have aroused an interest in uniforms in
peror, ordered the Roman soldiers to wear
red so they would not be frightened at the
sight Of their own blood, and even now red
forms conspicuous part of French and Eng
lish uniforms. In own army red has
been abolished except for facings on the
ground that it attracts attention In the field,
though experiments in Germany prove that
a blue target Is hit three times where a red
one ia hit once.
During the Revolutionary war each colony
had its militia, and the uniforms Of each
body were different. Later the higher off,
GERS came to be known by the colored rib
bons worn across their breasts, and the lower
officers by the cockade worn in their hats.
In 1921 dark blue was declared to be the
navy and army uniform. 1t consisted Of
dark blue coat to the knee, scarlet lape,s
and cuffs white waistcoat and cross belt.
summer. Later single-breasted coats minus
facings, and higher collar, came in.
In 1921 dark blue was declared to be the
national uniform color for both officers and
enlisted men, the only exception being scar
let coats for musicians and gray coats for
cadets. Various changes took place IN the
shape Of the clothing of the soldiers until
1858, when our uniforms became practically
fixed, the cloth for the trousers being light
blue and the facings being light blue for in

ROBBING THE RED MEN.

Root of the Trouble Up I'm the Chip
pewa Country.
To The ST. Paul Globe;
The Indian question Is being much dis
cussed from various standpoints. but no one
seems to have the knowledge, or the courage
to touch upon the real root Of the evil.
Some one might get hurt, and that would
never do; for they are all, all honorable
men,"
1t is easy to say the Indians should be
brought to time with a gatling gun, and it
is easy to do It, poor creatures. But it is
not so easy, morally speaking, to point your
finger at the fraud, the bad faith the double
dealing, and the unconscionable scheming that
has wrought them to desperation. When the
famous six hundred was swept off the face
Of the earth it was sorrowfully poetic to sayi
''Some one had blundered;' but when genera
ton after generation of the owners of our
soil are swept Westward and deathward it
would be reasonable to whisper that some
one had plundered.
When Senator Nelson engineered the sale
of the Chippewa lands through congress. 1t
was supposed that the money would be de-
voted to the tribal fund. How has it been
used7 Appraisement after appraisement has
been undertaken only to be set aside as
worthless, while the Indian funds have been
used to pay for the work which redounded
to the advantage Of ignorant or INSCRIPTIONS
men,
Think of twenty-seven appraisers at five
dollars a day, with three commissioners at
thirteen dollars a day working CD for months
only to have their reports set aside as false
and useless. Think Of such errors as 10000
feet reported instead of 200, 900; 10000 instead
Of 4.000. 0G0.
IF there Is no collision of the officials
with interested parties it is a strange case
of unconscious thievery and innocent appro-
priatton of revenue. The thoughtful Indians
saw their money disappearing like snow be-
fore the sun, and feeling 1t only ques-
ton Of time when they would stand beggared
upon their naked lands, spirit of true man
Illness arose in their patient hearts. and like
the heroes Of all times they chose to die on
the field rather than drag out dtshonored
and miserable existence If oppression
driveth a wise man mad" the late stand
taken by the Indians Is only proof OF their
wisdom.
The government makes most generous pro
vision for its wards, but 1t will not see that
politics must be divorced from the Indian
question before justice can reach the simple,
dependant children whose mixture OF wisdom
and ignorance, confidence and suspicion rem
ders them the most pathetic objects In the
world today. The government also provided
for the soldiers but they starved and died
of neglect just the same. And this Will al
ways be the case while partisans are re-
warded by appointments which snould only
be given to men of tried and acknowledged
ability.

Forty-fve Years Aqo.

Forty-fve years ago st. Paul was a spot
IN wilderness, peopIed by q few hardy
pioneers who, four years later, organized the
state Of Minnesota With few hundred in
habitants 1t was the principal trading post
west OF Chicago, and was looked upon by
Eastern people as the jumping off place. 1t
soon became known as the city among the
hills, and was characterized by all the en-
terprtse and push Of a Western town The
Mississippi was great highway of COM
merce between st. Louis, New Orleans and
the North, and the roar Of the river packet
was nightly heard on the Father Of Waters.
Galena, ILL.,, the nearest trading post
and in the absence of either railways or tel
egraph, st. Paul was practically shut off from
the busy world except the visits OF the
river boats brought letters and newspapers
from the East and South.
In those days st. Paul was not lacking in
professional talent. There were almost as
many lawyers and doctors, comparatively, as
now. Among those prominent in the legal
profession in 1853 were r. R. Nelson, Joseph

Previous to holding the Republican state
convention Eustis and his followers were loud
in their condemnation and vigorous in their
assaults of and upon the machine which they
denominated the Clough-Van SAINT machine.
They were even abusive of both Clough and

Eustis and his whole retinue of cohorts are
bending the knee and bowling the head to the
great and only Van SAINT the erst-while beer
guzzler, as per the personal organ of Will

to Minneapolis to work his own campaign,
every possible imputation was heaped upon
him and nothing was too bad not to receive
mention, but presto change the sanity Will
