MARK HANNA WILL

will Not Oppose Ohio Repub,
Iicans' Endorsement Of
the President.
GIVES OUT a STATEMENT
Roosevelt Tells Hanna He Would Like
Chio's Endorsement, and So the Big
Political Boss Decides He Cam
not Refuse.

Cleveland. O., May Ex-senator
Hanna has decided TO offer nc further
opposition TO q resolution in the forth
coming state convention concerning the
candidacy of President Roosevelt Ton
another term.
This action was decided upon late
yesterday afternoon. When asked if
ne had heard frcm President Roosevelt
with reference to the decision concern
ing his attitude in connection with the
resolution Senator hanna made the fol-
oMlng statement TO the Associated
tless Representatives:
II am in receipt of Il telegram from
President Roosevelt which indicates to
ne his desire To have the Endorsement
af the Ohio republican State oonNen-
ion of his administration and candi-
lacy n view of this, / shall not OPP
pose such action by the convention. and
haze telegraphed the president to
mat effect
Senator Hanna positively declined to
further discuss the subject, insisting
bat the brief statement above quoted
Sully covered the situation.
1T is the general belief. however,
lie still doubts the advisablity of the
adoption of a resolution Endorsing Ifcs-
dent Roosevelts candidacy by this
convention But it is pointed out that
| n referring TO the presidents judg-
nent Mn Hanna demonstrates that his
original position in the matter was at
10 time prompted by personal antagon-
SIN to President Roosevelt.

THE ORIGIN OF FLAGS.
Fighters of All Ages Loved Standard
First Use Lost ia Antiquity.

London Globe: Where in the whole
world Is another thing, meaningless In
Itself, that has signified SO much or
served so greatly In tho dramas of ma
Aonal life as the flag7 One tradition
says the Saracens first carried an or
thodoX standard into battle and thus
gave the idea, as they gave so many
others, to the Crusaders. But. OBJ
viously, the flag is far older than this.
and 1T is interesting to note Its devel-
opment from the first inanimate object
borne aloft on staff, so as to be gener-
ally visible down to the complicated
blazonry Of a royal banner in our own
ages. The Egyptians thus carried be-
tore their hosts the figure of a sacred
animal on a spear, and the Assyrians,
as their carvings tell US. inspired the
hopes and centered the attentions of
their soldiers in the same way.
The royal standard of the Persians
for many centuries was blacksmith's
apron, and it is said a local prince, in
passing hernlit's cell on the way to
battle one morning, asked tho inmate
for his blessing, or something express
s1ve to put on that artless cognizance.
The hermit possibly a little touchy, as
even saints will be when disturbed at
breakfast time, threw the chieftain tho
fiat round cake he vase eating which
was duly added to the apron-hence
t@Ac L eISlilll sun. Inc non WAS an OD-
yious afterthought. The Turks used a
horses tail, the rank Of a pacila being
tnown by the number of tails he carr
ried, and probably this suggested the
much hifurcated pennon of early west
ern chivalry familiar TO every one who
has studied the Bayeux tapestry or
early illurninted missals.
In the middle ages, devoted to display
and military arrogance. the flag stood
In relationship to the great captains
array as his personal armor stood to
himself; 1t insured recognition in the
melee, and supplied Il rallying point
for the fighters such as nothing else
could have done. This led to AN eti-
euette of flags which apportioned shape
and size to every rank of the peerage,
from the royal standard itself down
through varied array OF banners, gon-
falons pennons, ensigns and other
bits of red rag" and kept the herald's
college busy, besides supplying the
poets with admirable local coloring for
their battle pieces. Does not Scott tell
US in some famous lines:
Then fell that epotless banner white,
Lord lioWard's Lion fell;
Hut still Lord Marmion's falcon flew
With wt,Nerins flight, while fierccr grew
Around the battle yell.

BOOMING THE SILK INDUSTRY

Washington. Aug. o. - Secretary
Wilson exhibited on his desk In the
agricultural department the first hank
ps silk reeled from the silk Keeling
machines recently purchased by the
department. There are three OF these
machines, though only one OF them has
been put in operation, the intention
being to send one Of the two remaining
machines 10 Tuskegee and the other
TO some other place where sufficient in
terest may be shown to learn how TO
operate It. COcOOns have been pur-
chased from all over the country and
two expert female French operatives
have been brought to Washington TO
teach the operation OF the machines.
II is Secretary Wilson's desire to have
the people of the South, and especi-
ally colored people, learn the business.
because of the comparative cheapness
OF that labor Arrangements already
have been made to have some girls
come TO Washington to learn the
machines and they are expected daily.
Secretary Wilson says that the de-
partment is prepared to do everything
possible to encourage the industry and
that silk worm eggs as well as young
mulberry trees will be supplied to
persons desiring to engage in the bust
ness.
The silk produced is of very fine
quality. The department is prepared
at present to turn out about twelve
hanks per day.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR THE
NEGRO.

The Freedman's Aid and Industrial
Association of Cincinnati is consider
ing the propriety OF erecting an In
dnstrial College for colored youths
at Birmingham, Alabama. The Com
mercial Club OF that city will afford
them substantial aid il they conclude
to build 1t, and the work may be I'M
dertaken in the near future The i'm
portance of instructing the colored
boys in useful trades and in all de-
partments OF the farm is becoming
more apparent to the leading cOlOred
men and their true friends every day,
as It is the best means OF making
good, industrious citizens OF them,
and thus prevent them from growing
up in idleness and becoming worth
less men. The colored man that has
nothing to do is very apt to he the
one that gets into mischief and then
into prison. And il a man does not
know how to do anything, it is use
less for him to apply for employment,
and nothing Is left for him but idle
ness. 1t is the man that knows how
to do and is willing to do who is
sought for and employed. II the
managers Of these industrial schools
and colleges would instruct the youth
in farm labor-in the management
OF farms and stock-and could sue
coed In inculcating into them fond
ness for the farm and the farm work,
they would be OF incalculable benefit
to the race and to the country. We
would find, il this could be done, in
stead OF the colored people fiocking
to towns and cities and becomingidle
loungers, and a burden to these cities,
they would remain on the farm, cul-
tivate the soil and become independ-
ent farmers, respected by all classes.
We believe that this is the best, II not
the only remedy for idleness, and the
remedy for idleness is the remedy for
crime, as idleness begets crime.
