Will Not Send Condolences.

In view of the peculiar conditions of tho
case the President has decided to foreSo
the usual message of coincidence and SYM
pathy in connection with the death of the
King and Queen of Servia. 1t was suggested
that Il message of that character might
have been addressed to eX-Queen Natalie.
but the suggest. on was rejected on tho
ground that she does not occupy any offi-
cial position in the Servian government,
and communication to her might give
offense to the officers of the new govern
ment.
The usual course will be followed by the
President in recognition of the new ruler
of Servia when he Shall have been officially
indicted into office.

Maj. Hodgson's Remarks.

Maj. Hodgson appeared as Mrs. Meacham
retired. with his guard of honor. the eight
color bearers saluting as they passed. Maj.
Hodgson spoke feelingly of the great patri-
otto work of the veteran organization of
women and the great good that the patrl
otto women of the country are doing. He
said he believed that Flag day should be
made national holiday in honor of Amer
lean womanhood. The reason the American
soldier was the best in the world. said Maj
Hpdgson, is because his mother was the
best. Maj. Hodgson then spoke of the in
fiuences of the observation of Flag day. and
promised that the Spanish War Veterans
and their auxiliaries will hold the day
sacred.
Both Maj Hodgson and Mrs Meacham
were roundly applauded.

everybody happy by his graceful illusions

Commissioner Wares Address.

Col Eugene Ware. commissioner of PEN
sions, gave a humorous description Of what
"Old Glory" would ultimately accomplish.
He told how the United States had grown
from few plantations scattered along the
Atlantic seaboard to colonies to 1.-The Re-
public" to THE Nation" with a capital N,
and then ito an empire with an elective
emperor" And this is only the begin
ming" he said. There will come a time
When the senator from New Zealand will
discuss with the senator from Ireland the
question of whether the Arabs shall be put
on the reservation" He said that we now
call 1t an Empire with big "E" at the be-
ginning. But that the Nation with big
M would go on growing till it would be
an Empire with big e. at both ends
Col John McElroy, past senior vice COM
mander-in-chief, spoke of the sentiments
inspired by the flag and the effect it had
upon those who defended it even to the. Civ
ing up OF life to save it from dishonor. He
said that there was often aroused in the
most cultured sentiment for the institu-
tons of the government that could not be
expressed in words. Far more true was
this, he said. of those who were unIettered
ana slow or speech To these and to all
loyal people the flag was the outward ex-
preston Of the thoughts that could not be
clothed in words 1t was the embodiment
of all that was high and holy to a great
people and worshiped next to their God
Flag Salute
One of the pretty features of the exer-
cises was the flag salute by little Miss Jo-
sephine Oldroyd Tiefenthaler and Miss
Rilla Stone Reed, the color bearer being
Miss Meacham. The story of the flag was
told by Mrs. Isabel WorrelI Ball, who Illus
tt ated her talk with flags from the time
that Columbus landed to the present day
She then cut the five-pointed star, showing
how Betsey Ross made it for Washington
with one snip of the shears
The exercises closed with the reading of
an original poem by Miss Hallowell on the
Birth of the Flag" which was well re-
ceived.
The trooping of the colors by the District
National Guard and the Spanish War Vet

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The streets Of a city were made by the
property owners OF the city for the use of
vehicles and the public-primarily for We
hicles. Interurban companies have been
given the right to run their cars upon these
streets. Recent decisions of the courts
give them rights superior to the rights of
vehicle owners who built the streets. 1t is
preposterous to claim that under any cir
cumstances interurban companies should
have the right to make their cars collide
with vehicles upon the streets OF a city,
The cars should be kept under control at all
times, and it should be made the duty OF
the company to stop it's cars at all times
to avoid collisions. The company has no
right of way upon the streets, and should
be made to pay for every case of damage
not shown TO have been willfully caused
by the driver of the vehicle. The rights of
interurban companies to the use of streets
should be clearly defined by State law
The attitude of the companies TO the public
is keep off our tracks or we will run into
you" Insolent as is this attitude, ii finds
support i'm a recent decision of the Supreme
Court, which says II is the duty of the We
hicle travelling public Ito stop and look
and listen" if it would be absolved from
contributory negligence in the event of a
collision. The Appellate Court has given a
decision which makes care equally the duty
OF the company and the public The COM
pany has the right now to bring an action
for damages against the owner of a vehicle
who deliberately or negligently obstructs
the passage of its cars along its tracks IL
does not have nor does it need more than
that Under no circumstances should the
company have the right to collide it's cars
with vehicle, and whenever il so collides IL
should be made to pay the resulting dam
age. The company should not be permitted
to escape on the plea of contributory negli-
gence. Contributory negligence is. as II
should be. good defense on the company s
right of way, but it should be no defense
on city streets, where 1t has no right of
way The right of way to the streets of a
city vests in the public, and can be neither
sold nor given away. e. ID. MOFFETT.
