Chairman Cortelyou Of til e
National Republican committee
has been warned by the Arlington
Flag Association that the flag of
the nation can not be desecrated
by using it for partisan methods
any more than it can be for mer-
camille advertising. In past Pres
idential campaigns an attempt was
made to use the flag to the advant-
age it would bring in convincing
the voters that the party using il
has claim for superior patriotism.
Such use of our country's flag
would carry with it deception,
conveying the impression that it is
the flag of the party using it, hence
the warning. The Republican
party will need all the assistance it
can get in these perilous times,
but remember there is a law for
bidding just few Of their schemes.

Teachers Institute.
MONDAY MORNING.

Monday, August 5, 1904, 1000
a. m, our Institute was called to
order by our Superintendent, Miss
Anderson, and was opened by sing
ing America. After which we re-
peated the Lords Prayer in CON
cert. The mem bers Of the Inst
tufe were enrolled and committee
on Resolutions appointed, namely !:
Mrs. Josie Chenault, Miss Kate
Corbett and Mr.. Russell Henry.
Miss Anderson next introduced to
us our instructor, Mr.. Cassidy, from
Lexington, who gave US a very in
teresting and helpful talk. We
teachers have reposed very calmly
on this, "Speech is silver but ST.
lence is golden" Until today Mr..
Cassidy's pertinent anecdote has
scattered our composure to the
wind. Now we think it is better to
talk and talk than never to have
talked at all. After the conclusion
of Mr.. Cassidy's address Mr.. Vim
son gave brief talk concerning the
for which he is an
agent. We then adjourned to meet
in regular session at 1870.

DISGUSTED.

The Republicans of the States
are. in their endeavors to hold the
Republican vote solid, making
such radical claims that those who
want to do right by themselves
and the people have become dis
gusted and many Of them will vote
the Democratic ticket.

DUMPING THE BUMPS.

against the real thing thing now.
In his famous charge in the San
luan battle he made declaration
that reflected on the valor OF the
negro and so many as count them
selvesmore than naughts howedare-
sentful spirit and Roosevelt is found
hard at it dumping the bumps
| Again he exhibited himself Oh ~
subject, first to the negro, social
equality, and the President and
the negro Booker Washington sat
down to meat together and by this
act demonstrated that socially
the President accepted the
negroe his equal. This act
was palliation to the aristocracy
Of the race, a red flag to those OF
lower rank, an everlasting insult to
the whites Of the parties, and again
the man OF high position made
common by his own act is bump
ing the bumps" The people all
the while laugh at the Presidents
ridiculous attitude.
"From now until November Mr..
Roosevelt will be obliged to bump
the bumps" And the bumps on
the slide are many. He must
come in contact with public dis
trust inspired by a headstrong
eeotism and an incurable AFRO
gance. His contempt Of law; his
substitution of his own royal will
for the constitutional action OF
Congress; his afronting and threat
ening attitude toward our sister
republics; his hasty and bellicosel
temper in foreign affairs; his sus-
pension of the statutes of the land
in favor Of rich and politically
powerful trusts; his praise OF
Knox, the corporation lawyer and
corporation protector, as the best
Attorney General the country ever
had; his disingenous and ineffec-
tive dealing with corruption in the
Postofice Department; his insults
to Admirals Dewey and Schley
and General Miles; the uneasiness
and apprehension with which he
has filled the business community
by his warlike spirit and love for
doing startling things-all these
are bumps which Mr.. Roosevelt
will have to bump.
And the bump which doubtless
Jars the President worst of all in
his studied silence is the reluctance
of the trusts to fill the hat which
Mr.. Cortelyou-who was trust in
vestigator and is to be Postmaster
General, with mail contracts to let
to railroads, in the event Of Repub-
lican success lis beseechingly
passing. Wall street declines to
respond with the customary cam-
paign contributions. Mr.. Roose-
welt has not injured the trusts in
pocket, but he has hurt their feel
ings. In order to accumulate
political capital he made speeches
against them and had Knox bring a
harmless suit or two, and the trusts
are resentful, or at least some OF
the wealthiest and most important
are. Business men who are not
in the trusts, but who have acted
with the Republican party and
drawn checks for it in Presidential
years, do not feel this time that
their commercial salvation depends
upon Republican victory, espec-
tally a Roosevelt victory. And
that is a particularly bruising
bump"

Unique Police Couet.

The police court of St. Heller, the
principal town of Jersey, is remarkable
in several respects. First, the pro-
ceedings are always opened with
prayer; second, it frequently happens
that after prayers there is no more
business and every one goes home.
There is SO little crime committed in
the little island that the police force

The beautiful carving in oak which
forms the rostrum of this court is the
work Of lady named Coxedge, resi-
dent Of the island The dock is re-
markable for its spaciousness and com
fort. The authorities are very 1enient
with their prisoners, who are kept
here, for court and station are under
one roof. In the words of the genial
old turnkey, When we gets 'em
