PEOPLE LOVE THE OLD FLAG.
What {he Emblem Means at Home
and i'm Our New1y-Acquired
Territory.

Ocean Grove, \. j., Aug. 26.-Presi
dent Mckinley, in an address, said:
Il believe there is more love for our
country and that more people love the
flag than ever before Wherever that
flag is raised its stands not for despot-
ism and oppression. but for liberty,
opportunity and humanity, and what
that flag has done for us we want it
to do for all people and all lands which
by the fortunes of war have come
within its jurisdiction. That flag does
rot mean one thing in the United
States and another in Porto Rico and
tie Philippines. There has been some
doubt in some quarters respecting the
policy of the government in the Phil
ippines. 1 see no harm in stating in
this presence: Peace first, then, with
charity for all, establish a government
of law and order, protecting life and
property and occupation for the we'll
being of the people who will partici-
pate in it under the Stars and Stripes"
