Flag Etiouette.

There have been mistakes made about
the etiquette OF the flag in Chicago.
The Chicagoan should not make them
twice. When President William Nc
Kinley was assassinated four years ago
thousands Of loyal Americans raised flags
at half over their places Of BUSH
ness and let them fly by night and by
day until they wore out. They thought
undoubtedly they were showing respect
to McKinley's memory, but they were
not showing proper respect to the flag.
The United States government displayed
at that time its flags at half-mast from
sunrise TO sunset from the presidents
death until his burial. The government
regulations provide that on the death of
president in office its flag shall be dis
played at half-mast only one day.
In memory OF the $4,000 Union sol
diers who lost their lives during the
Civil War, on May 80, Memorial Day,
each year the United States displays
its flag at half-staf at all army posts,
stations and national cemeteries from
sunrise until midday. Immediately be.
fore noon a dirge is played by the band
or field music, and the national salute
u twenty 7uhe guns ~ Hitu. a. tue
conclusion Of this memorial tribute at
noon the flag is hoisted to the top Of
the staff and remains there until sum
set. The idea is that the national en-
sign is too sacred an object to be long
in mourning for any man or number
of men, no matter how exalted their
rank.
The flag reversed, with the union
down, indicates distress. The flag on
anything but fort actually besieged
should never be displayed between suns
set and sunrise.
When the flag is to be diplayed at
half-mast it is lowered to that position
from the top Of the staff. 1t Is hoisted
to the top before it is finally lowered.
