FLAG Law KNOCKED OUT.

Judge Gibbons, of Illinois. has de-
clared unconstitutiona the flag law of
that state which imposes penalty for
its use in advertising and in other ways
tending to desecrate it. This jurist de-
cided that the informers fee clause in
the act is against the spirit of Amer-
can law as tending to provoke strife
and ill-will between man and man. The
decision turns on this point, that the
power granted by the constitution to
the governor of the state to pardon Of
tenders and remit fines and penalties is
in conflict with the statute which
guarantees to the informer share of
the fine.

American flag, which is displayed in
electric lights on the front of the edi-
fice
After declaring the law void, on the
point above mentioned, Judge Gibbons
went on to express sound common
sense in the following remarks:
Wherein is the flag desecrated by
making Autograph or picture there
of as trademark? If the common use
OF the flag is to abate our veneration
for 1t, why did our solops pass law
making 1t compulsory upon those in
charge to fly the national emblem from
the Flagstaff of every school house?
Will the sight of the flag floating from
the Flagstaff enkindle patriotism in the
breasts of the school children and
quench such emotions when it's picture
is seen on the covers of their books !?
Ii the common use of an emblem is to
Ndetract from the reverence we enter
tain for that which it represents, why
is the emblem of Christianity made so
conspicuous in the beautiful regalia of
the Knights Templar and in the artis-
tic decorations and characterization of
church edfices?
There are fighting Christians. as
there are fighting patriots. Men who
in their outward acts and demeanor
disgrace both creed and country; men
whose touch would sully the cross or
flag, yet if either We're assailed would
offer their lives in its defense. The men
who today are being prosecuted under
this law would tomorrow leave home
and kindred and rush to the front to
defend the honor and glory of that
dear old flag. We need no flag law in
the state of Illinois to make men pa
triotic, to prevent men from desecrat-
ing the flag. Every man in all this
land ries with his neighbor in showing
devotion, loyalty and reverence to the
flag, and it is a reflection upon the
names of Illinois patriot dead to have
enacted such a law

THE WALL STREET PULSE

Just at the time last week when Wall
street was expecting ease in the money
market Henry Clews notes the fact that
there was a return of stringency as
sharp as anything experienced within
the last two months" The interior cur
rency movement is still against the
New York banks, and while the de-.
mand from the west shows some abate-
ment the requirements of the south
have been increasing. The banking
opinion very generally inclines to the
conclusion that the fall return to ease
will be much later this season than
usual Clews notes the fact that un-
usual causes are at work in the money
market, the breadth and force of which
it 10 not easy to measure. Something
more than the movements incident to
this crop season have to be calculated
upon. Credit operations have been
radically Influenced by the industrial
revolution incidental to the great trust

ital. The negotiations have involved
large loans destined to run until the

until underwriters have effected their

doubtless participated to but very
small extent in these operations; but
many of the trust companies, private
bankers and other financial institu-
tions have probably made advances to
the extent of millions of dollars; with
the consequence that these credit re-
sources are largely withheld from the
uses to which they ordinarily contrib
ute at this season of the year. In ad-
dition to this special employment of
