Weary Watching on the Block
AT no time but war time would
it be possible to get men to en-
dure what the officers and men are
going through with today in the
apparently fruitless quest of the
Spanish feet-living on pay
masters stores, no ice, no fruit or
vegetables of any kind on many or
most of the ships; bulkhead torn
out; all comforts pitched overheard; !;
thesagine rooms intolerably hot;
msaSeoming out of these heated
"helfs' with temperature of 130
degrees to sleep on deck, or any
place they can, with the thermome-
ter at 1O2 degrees. With no avn
ings over the blistering decks;
rain or the kindly mantle of night
can alone cool or comfort the over
taxed endurance, and yet no one
complains; only the impotence of
brave men to meet the enemy and
have done with him. The excite
ment of battle would be easy work
compared with this weary task of
waiting and watching.-Harper's

THE STARS and STRIPES
Why There are Thirteen Stripes and
FOTIysfFe Stars on
our Flag

Until 1915 it was Il ) custom of
the United States government, on
the admission of each new state
into the union, to signalize the fact
upon the nations fag,Aef only by
increasing the numbers of its stars,
but also by increasing the number
of its stripes. says the Atlanta
Constitution.
Bat inthe year mentioned. when
fii4a new states were admitted into
the union at one time, if became
apparent that eventually this pro
cess of reduplication would result
in disfguTing the nations flag;
and accordingly the matter YES
referred to joint committees of the
House and Senate with the direc-
ton that some definite plan must
be reported. While the matter
was under warm discussion, Cap
tain Samuel G. Reid, one of the
heroes of the war of 1872, suggest
ed that instead of changing both
stars and stripes whenever new
states were admitted into the union.
it would be much better to fix the
number of stripes at thirteen, rep
resenting the original thirteen
states, and to make the number of
stars alone variable. This sug-
gestion met with unanimous ap-
proval, and in due time the design
agreed upon was reported to con-
gress.
Without opposition, the design
received the cordial endorsement
of congress-; and on April 4. 1918,
the measure setting forth the for
mula which has ever since been OBJ
served in adjusting the stars and
stripes to the changed conditions of
the union received the signature of
the President James Monroe.
just at this time, when the ma
tion's flag is SO strikingly in evi-
dence and when the whole country
without regard to passed differ
ences is solidly united underneath
its folds, it is not amiss that the
foregoing reminiscence connected
with its early days should be re-
vived. Over what additional pos
sessions the stars and stripes are
destined to float in the Immediate
or distant future we do not under
take to foreshadow; but may peace
soon perch once more on the ma
tion's ensign.

.
The st. Paul Press most truth
fully states the situation in these
words: Reed in the House of
Representatives. and Hanna in the
Senate, stand for the determination
of this element to rule America at
any cost. Both are fit tools of
plutocracy in IFS blindness and its
brutality. The speaker of the
House finds his greatest pleasure
in violating all precedents of fair
ness and decency, and he never
feels more highly complimented
than when he is called 'despot
and a .czar. For this he has good
reason. The men Who keep him
in public life have no use for an.
American statesman with brains
and conscience. They want a
mere slave-driver, the boss of
gang who will crack the whip for
them and display all their habitual
insolence in overriding protest.
Never in the world was any ele-
ment more ftly represented than
the plutocratic imperialists of the
northeast are by Reed. They are
without scruple, without shame,
without the sense of decency
which makes it possible for men to
live together peacefully and help
fully. They have cunning which
takes the place of Intelligence in
carrying out their plans of self
aggrandizement at public expense;
and as their ignorance and cupidi-
ty combine to make them so inso-
lently reckless of consequences,
they can trust completely because
he is SO thoroughly representative
of all their own worst qualities.
