The White House Flag.

THE WHITE HOUSE FLAG
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE:
I would like to ask why, at this time
should the flag on the White House
fiy at full mast in place Of being al
lowed to remain at half mast, as on
other Government buildings? II | re-
member correctly the flag on this
building was kept at half mast for 81
days after the death Of Garfield
Blaine. Hobart and Harrison. Why
should It not be 80 now?
I suppose that the argument Will be
made that the President is at the
White House now, and that this flag is
his ensign. Is this so? Has not the
President a flag Of his own? Is the
flag of the United States any individ'
uaps private ensign? From my obser'
walton Of the uses Of the flag, would
call attention to the Navy. The flag
officer of any feet has his individual
flag. and the flag Of the United States
is raised at o'clock and lowered at
sunset all over the world where our
ships are. II the officer should die, his
flag is lowered and the flag of the
United States is half masted on the
fleet. Why should not this be the case
at the White House? Figuratively
speaking, this house is the flagship OF
the United States, and all Government
buildings should follow It, l would
also call attention to the fact that
when the President is out Of twn this
house nys no flag Should this be so
The chief element l wish to express
by this letter is the propriety Of thii
flag flying at full mast on a Govern
ment building when, as | understand
it, the country is in mourning for 81
days.
Yours respectfully.
(Since the foregoing was put in type
the flag has been half-masted and oui
correspondent Is consequently happy.
