An amusing story is told Of an old
time soldier who loved liquor better
than food, and was bound to have his
diet according t. his taste. 1t was in
the days when British soldiers pro
vided themselves with rations out of
their pay. To insure the proper feed
ing Of the men a strict inspection of
the daily mess was instituted. 1t was
found that unless this was done many
soldiers would go without meat in or

Donald loved whisky, and could live
very we'll on oatmeal. Therefore he
eschewed butchers meat. But at the
daily mess it was essential that he
should have meat before him.
For a long time Donald saved his
money, and yet, to all appearance,
lived up to the requirements. When
the officer went his round Donald had
his mess before him. 1t was tripe.

About Hauling Down" the Flag.

Who shall haul down Old Glory?"
This is j. Ralph Burton's favorite ora
| torical thunderbolt. The Kansas elo-
cutionist hurls it whenever be speaks
his piece. And echo, as a rule, an
swers, who? The hauling down of the
national emblem is associated with
! General Dix. renowned message: ..If
any man attempts to haul down the
! flag, shoot him on the spot" None,
| therefore, cares to arise and plead
guilty to the impeachment and it pass
es unchallenged.
Among unthinking auditors. ''who
shall haul down old glory" is an in
surmountable barrier against all the
logic of anti-imperialism. But the
query is really so shallow 1t is sur
prising that intelligent people should
applaud it. 1t is not a gem of thought.
but rather elocutiouary tinsel. With
out the word "haul" the sentence loses
all of it's force. When a flag is ..haul-
ed" down it is, by inference at least,
trampled on, spat upon and degraded.
Any man who undertakes to do that
should, by all means. be shot in nine
teen spots at once.
But to ''take" old glory down is an
other thing. The stars and stripes
once floated triumphant along the
north coast of Africa. 1t was never
'shauled" down, but it was taken down

shall live in history always as safe.

later the American flag foated over
Monterey and Chapultepec, and the
halls of the Montezumas. No giddy
Drained declaimers prattled of .'des-
Giny" then. There were no over fat
and greedy corporations in those good
days to demand Expansion" for their
sole benefit. The American flag was
not "hauled down." but it came down.
that had placed it there. II is not re-
corded that there was any clamor for
the assimilation or the Greasers When
the nation accomplished what it had
to do the flag was folded away and
brought back home.
If the American flag is unfurled 10
places where it has no business to be
unfurled, don't haul-l-l it down. but
take it down with all honors it de-
serves, and let it bask in the pure sum
shine and exhilarating breezes of the
United States of America, where it be-
longs. That's better for the flag, bet
ter for the men who follow the flag
and better for the public morals than

ulated by wild .'niggers" on the other

cannot trust the people, because the
people understand their purposes.
They have lost none Of their bitterness

In the Name Of Progress.

The president aud his friends have
been outlining .he administration >
foreign policy, but the Denver Repu6-
Hcdn does it over England's shoulders
better than any of them. Speaking OF
Great Britain 5 Interests in the Trans
vaal mines and her purpose to
overthrow the Dutch republic to pro-
tect them the Republican says: while
the motive may compel violation of
the laws of nations, England can JUS
tify herself in the name of progress.
Progress, like patriotism, very often 10
the last refuge of scoundrel. But
/ the presidents Denver organ puts the
! whole expansion business so tersely
and so to the point that it really should
be rewarded with profitable govern
ment appointment. The Republican
says nothing about the '.old flag, ;"
| ''destiny" or assimilation. 1t strikes
right at the root of the matter. While
we may be violating the laws of ma
tions, outraging justice and mocking
at aspirations for human liberty, we
are altogether justified ia stealing
Cuba and destroying the Philippine
republic because progress" wants it
that way. More is the pity that the
president is not as honest as his west
ern mouthpiece.
The mines in the Transvaal do not
belong to England, but some English
syndicates own more or less stock in
them and war with the Beers would
wipe out the interest the Transvaal
government has in them. And that is
what the Denver Republican calls
progress-the real article. Our syn
dicates have no possessions in the
Philippines as yet, but they are ready
to take possession of whatever is worth
having as fast as the army clears the
way for them, and this is progress,
too, according to the administration.
The violation of the laws of nations Is
a small matter, so are human liberty
and the rights of mankind If the crime
of killing people TO get their property
Is done in the name OF progress. -
