restricted to members of the theatrical pro-

THE FIRST SALUTE OF THE FLAG.

In the interesting proceedings at Delft
Holland, few days ago the wreath which
was laid by Americans on the tomb of Hugo
Grotius was accepted in an address by DIR.
De Beaufort, minister of foreign affairs ard
president of the Ministerial Council of the
Netherlands, in which he said: I'VE are
closely connected with the historical tradi-
lions of America. The first settlers on the
banks of the Hudson were Hollanders, and
we shall alwa~s remember with certain
pride that 1t was = Dutch captain who first
saluted the stars and stripes. To-day we
salute your star-spangled banner in our
own country" This shows a very friendly
spirit, but 1t is not quite accurate in the
reference to saluting the stars and stripes.
In these days when the American flag floats
over distant islands and receives honors
in all parts OF the world where it appears
1t is difficult to realize that there was
time when it had no standing among the
nations and when its recognition by a salute
was recorded as an event of great i'm
portance.
The incident referred to by the speaker
at Delft was doubtless one which occurred
early i'm the revolutionary war at the Dutch
island of ST. Eustatius. in the West Indies.
In September, 1716 the continental brig
Doria. commanded by one Captain Robin
son, sailed from Philadelphia for St. Eusta-
thus to procure arms and ammunition. Hol-
land at that time was a republic. When
the Doria reached st. Eustatius on Nov. 16.
1776, she saluted the Dutch flag. and her
salute was returned. not by Dutch cap
tain, but by the governor of the island. and
he was subsequently removed from Office
for his indiscretion. Whether the minister
who spoke at Delft was aware of this fact
or whether 1T did not suit him to mention
IT, 1t Is nevertheless a fact The Dutch
governor meant his salute of the flag in all
friendliness, and the captain of the Doria
lost no time in notifying the Congress OF
the important event; but Holland was not
yet ready to recognize lie independence of
the colonies and out OF Difference to Great
Britain the governor was removed for act
ing without orders. The sympathy of the
Dutch republic, however. was with the
colonies to such an extent that few years
later 1t became involved in war with Great
Britain in which Ii lost all its West Indian
colonies, including st. Eustatius. but by the
treaty of peace in 17S3 they were all re-
stored. Holland recognized the independ-
ence OF the United States In April, 17s2, and
was the second nation to do so.
A further inaccuracy in the statement of
DR.. De Beaufort was in saying that the
flag saluted at ST. Eustatius was 1.-The stars

ing of white and yellow field and thirteen
stripes but no stars. The stripes and stars
were not adopted as the national flag until

General Harrisons speech at the Fourth

speech settles the matter. After saying
that 1.-The United States has not set its eyes
upon distant possessions and that ''she

THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATION.

The lawyers of the State Will invade the
city to-day in considerable force. They
have done it before on different occasions,
for every important event Of State interest
brings out its contingent of lawyers. They
are much in evidence at sessions of the
Legislature and at political conventions.
and sometimes one appears at religious
assemblage. AS class they are always
ready to render service to the State. and
or as candidates for office they never have
to be drafted. In peace and in war, in the
halls of legislation and on the firing line
they always furnish their quota From the
first settlement of the State TO the present
time they have impressed themselves upon
it's history in many ways and contributed
enormously TO its development and prog
ress. They were a majority in both of the
constitutional conventions and they have
greatly outnumbered any other class in
every Legislature that has sat since the
State was organized If they have as
sisted in framing or passing a good many
unconstitutional laws they have furnished
the judges who have so pronounced them.
and thus the profession is still ahead. Such

intellect and education, animated by a
spirit of good citizenship and professional
duty. must always be a great power in the

DIANA Ito promote the administration
of Justice implies a great deal. and it is
doubtful IL every member of the Bar Asso-
citation lives up to its ideal meaning or even
to his own understanding of it. A lawyers
duty to his client Is very sacred. but no
more so than his duty to society. ITO pro-
mote the administration Of Justice is not
consistent with the common practice of
trying to nullify the law, to thwart justice
and shield persons known to be guilty of
fraud or crime from the just penalty Of the
law. Neither is 1t consistent with the COM
and using the delays Of the law to stave
off a righteous decision and keep honest
claimants out of their dues. 1t is not con-
sistent with the practice of hoodwinking
judges In order to obtain divorce DEGREES
on frivolous grounds. In short, a conscien-
tious adherence to the pledge ito promote
the administration of Justice would bar
out many modern professional practices
and make court records cleaner and more
respected than they now are. Not all
judges are as wise, as learned, as i'm

of lawyers to make them more so, and thus
