noble 4usages to which the American flag
is subjected In European countries Mr..
Eryan said: "As M American, dislike to
see the flag used anywhere for advertising
purposes. In Portugal the custom has
lcng been to use the American flag as n
sign painted over cigar stores. There are
few Portuguese, tobacconists who do not
use the flag In, this way, called the at
tehtion of the Minister of the Interior to
the MATTER and he courteousy offered to
issue an order to have the flag obiterated
wherever used for advertising purposes.
Not wishing to cause n hardship to trades
men, ] suggested that tho minister notify

Stripes flying over saloons. Americans in
Europe ought to have pride enough not to
go near places debaslng their bag. The
flag ought to be to.Americans everywhere
symbol Of all that Is high mad noble.
Respect for 1t should he cardinal vr-
tue, Business enterprise should not in
duce people to make ali unworthy or
even questionable use of Our flag any
where"
