Junc IA, Flad DAY.

Just to jog the memory of those VINO
may have forgotten the fact, the Jour
nal will remind its readers that to-
morrow, June IA. is Flag day, and that
upon that day, If upon no other of the
year, the American flag should be
ahoat everywhere within our borders.
June il is the anniversary OF the
adoption by the Continental Congress
of our flag. and within few years the
efforts of the various patriotic and his
toricaI societies have made the oh
eervance of the day very general. The
observance is simple, nothing more nor
less than the display of the flag from
dwellings. places of business and public
buildings, that the sight of it may be
a reminder and an inspiration to all
our people.
Since the beginning of the war with
Spain. the flag has been a much more
common sight than in preceding years.
1t is a welcome sight wherever we see
it. and there is no danger of its becom-
ing too common spectacle. 1t is a
case where familiarity breeds increased
respect and greater love rather than
contempt. So put out the flag. tomor-
row. not only in its accustomed places
over the schoolhouse and public build
ings, but over the dwellings and places
Of business. in honor of the day of its
birth so many years ago. And, by the
way. it is a fact which many of us do
not appreciate that none of the great
nations of earth fly flag 50 old as
ours. Nearly all of the flags of Europc
have undergone complete ar partial
changes in the past century and
quarter, but the American flag is the
same as when adopted except as the
addition of new states have added new
stars. And true it is that no flag that
flies means so much that is grand and
precious to those beneath its folds as
our own. SO celebrate the birthday of
the flag. tomorrow. and let the June
breczcs kiss its sacred folds.

Boston Journal: Mrs. Cadwallader

years society has been shocked by the
invasion of persons both male and fc-

inquIrlng too eagerly into the exact
social position of the Wedrors. other
persons actually had the impudeucc to
go there in search of rest or to gain
