The movement for national legisla-
ton to protect the flag from being used
for advertising purposes, etc, is gain
ing strength in Washington, and the
leader in the movement is Representa-
tive Roberts of Massachusetts, a ma
passed laws to protect the flag from
dissertation. Maine took this step, last
winter, but no test Of the law has yet
! been made in this State. In Illinois.
where a similar law was passed, last
winter, its attempted enforcement has
failed, and the law has been declared
by the highest courts to be unconsutu-
tional. Mr.. Roberts has introduced a
bill in the House. and an ASSOCIATION
has been formed to work for its pass
age by the present Congress. The zeal
Gus friends of the proposed law have
not liked Speaker Henderson's indiffer-
ence in the matter, and say he has
fender Of the flag. Such talk is very
absurd in view of the life record Of the
gallant general, who though born in
foreign land, fought bravely for the
flag through the war. and has been one
of the staunchest defenders of its honor
in times of peace. Recently Mr.. Hen
derson said that the best safeguard of
the flag is the Unborn patriotism of the
people. and that if other lands do not
find ii niece ssary to protect their flags
by law, then surely this country ought
not to. And in this view of the matter
most people will agree with him.
