and let them gather It to thei rreRsts
with a loving embrace as they wound
fold an idol child they thought they
had lost.
After ten years of earnest endeavor,
the several states have enacted laws
providing for the display Of the flag
over the school houses of all districts
where patriotism reigns. Under it.,
millions Of children. who viii govern
the country in the next decade or
two, are being educated TO be loyal
citizens.
The country saved by valor and
sacrifice is made more secure. year
after wear, as mind after mind absorbs
the value Of true patriotism. SO then,
fellow citizens, let us hoist the hag
on its coming birthday. 1t will mean
that each home, beneath it's protec-
ton, is a fortress to resist the APP
proach of every foe. over this castle
of liberty let the flag fly a signal Of
human freedom in its highest con
ception, and the equality Of man OF
whatever race, that is the creation of
infinite thought.
Fly it from every house top-every
public building the shipping-from
every movable vehicle-that the world
may know the American people honor
the birthday of the flag, the love OF
which is the nations safety-as nee
essary as preparation for war.
Through the influence of those who
will hold aloft the aag-and all the
principles it represents, the multitude
Of unrehned immigration will realize
that all that is alloyed with treason
or d~eseneracy must pass through a
crucible that is heated over a furnace
fed with the fuel Of patriotism.

m1tS that 1T is true that the present
inhabitants have been wronged by the
fraudulent acts of conspirators in
1S13-74, and it is a hardship for them
TO be bound for debts they did not
contract and from which they received
no benefit
Is it any wonder that the present
inhabitants of Comanche county feel
that they are not liable for the debt
from a standpoint of justice?
When the courts finally held that
the county is liable for the bonds, the
commissioners accepted an offer to
compromise by issuing new bonds for
the combined principal and accumu-
lated interest, amounting to about
$134, 600, the new bonds to bear per
cent interest. That was in 1890, when
the boom was still on and there
seemed to be good prospect that the
county could meet the bonds. But
since then the population and valua-
ton have been shrinking. There are
now only 1870 people in the county,
ana the state board of equalization has
arbitrarily increased the assessed val
uation of the county from $631,000
to $1,O41,000, in order to allow those
bonds to be unloaded on the state.
Comanche County's Burden
or recent years the people of Co
manche county have been making he
role efforts to reduce this indebtedness
oy compromising it at as much less
than par as possible. The last pay
ment was at 95 cents on the dollar. In
order to pay these they have been let
ting their school district Indebtedness
run, and that is why so many Conan
che county school district bonds, held
by the state school fund, are defaulted.
No sinking fund levy was made to
meet them.
These dishonest bonds are a ire
mendous burden upon the people of
Comanche county. AS the State Jour
nal showed recently, an average fam
lily of five. persons would have over
$3S taxes each year to meet the interest
on bonds alone, to say nothing of state,
county, township and school district
taxes, and sinking fund taxes to meet
the principal of the bonds.
twas this issue of six per cent bonds,
that was offered to the school fund
commissioners last spring, but which
they turned down and accepted the
same bonds, refunded for 1923 900 at Az
per cent, from Mr.. GODDARD, allowing
Mr.. GODDARD to make SIS, 900 off the coun-
ty besides what he may have made by
the bonds below par from
the original holders.
And for telling the facts about this
deal Messrs. Burrow, Dayhoff and Cole
man have sued the State Journal for
S45, 0Oo-what modest men.

BAILEY PLEASED THEM.
AtcEison Globe Says Governors Re-
marks in Good Taste.

Atchison, Kan. Sept. 1.-THE Globe
says:
Nobody can claim to have been
bored by the speaking. At ST. Louis
college, during the matinee pro-
gramme, Governor Bailey made a few
happy remarks about the coal. and
congratulated the people of Atchison.
He spoke briefly, his remarks were ap-
propriate and in the best taste. and he
improved the high regard in which
Atchison people have always held him.
At Forest park in the evening, Prof.
Haworth, of the State university, told
the people in his own words of the i'm
portance of the coal discovery, and of
the excellent quality itself. To Prof.
Haworth's early suggestion that Atchi-
son go below the Leavenworth vein is
due the fact that it now has one of the
very best veins of soft coal west of
Ohio. Everybody was impressed with
Prof. Haworth's enthusiasm. over the
coal, and his good will towards Atchi
son. Henry J. Allen, who was to have
spoken, failed to arrive.
