Mckinley and tn. Flag

There is no doubt that President
Mckinley is an expert phrasemaker
and that he knows howto appeal in
geniously to the imagination of his
hearers.
His pet phrases always contain
something about the flag" and he
seems TO consider himself the origi-
nal discoyerer OF the star spangled
banner.
Whenever the president talks the
flag is the burden of his soeech. The
flag" the old flag; the men who
upheld the flag" THE defense OF the
flag" wherever the flag is assail-
ed; the love of the flag dying
for the old flag the a.sailants OF
the flag; freedom unde' the flag
this is Mr.. Mckinlev's contribution
to cOntemporaneOus ontory. In
some way it appears thai Mr.. No
kinley and the flag are ilseparably
connected.
This is all very well wheI the situa-
ton calls for apostrophes o the flag
But just now when freedoms banner
is in no particular danger when ev-
ervbOdy in the United States loves
the flag and when everybody outside
of the United States, excepting Agui-
naldo, fears and respects itMckinley
is OVERRIDING this flag business.
1t is plain enough to see lust what |
he is endeavOring to accomplish. He
wishes to impress the peOpl, with the |
idea THAI William MCKINLEY is the I
sole and sacred custodian q the flag
and that William Mckinle.'s party
is the only party of patriotism.
But what would MCKINLEY do ii +
some real danger threatened the old /
flag? He would find himsdf bank +
