Did you read that long story
about Farrelly and Harris in the
republican papers all over Kansas
last week? Well, it was written
by Tom McNeal of the Mail and
Breeze, chief of republican railroad
prevarication bureau. 1t is set up
ID plate form and sent to all the
faithful" for which reason it is
the same all over the state. But if
the railroad bureau thinks it car
fpol all the people all the time,
and that the Kansas farmer is not
posted on the railroad business, il
has another guess or two coming

TO CHANGE ALL THE FLAGS
The New Star Causes Rearrangement.

! Washington, June 1e.-When
the Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma come into the union of states
another star must be added to the
flag. The field as at present ar
ranged on the flag consists of forty
five stars, in six rows seven sta rs
each. Officials of the war and
navy departments are now work
ing out the new arrangements of
stars.
Three plans are under consider
alton, any one of them will meet
the general requirements. Each
provides for six rows of stars. One
plan has eight stars in the first,
third and fourth and sixth rows
and seven in the second and fifth
lows. Another arrangement has
seven stars in the first and sixth
rows and eight in the second, third
fourth and fifth rows. The third
arrangement shows eight stars in
the first, second, fifth and sixth
rows and seven in the third and
fourth rows. An important con-
sideration is the possibility of the
necessity for a further alteration oi
the field of the flag by the admission
Of Arizona and New Nezico as one
or two states in the not distant
future. Under the law the pro-
posed change in the flag will take
effect July 4 next.
April 4, 1913, congress enacted
the following bill regarding the
United States flag, and 1t stands as
the law today:
Section I. Be it enacted that
from and after the fourth day oi
July next the flag of the United
States be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union have twenty stars,
white in blue field.
| Section 2. And be it further
enacted that on the admission oi
every new state into the union one
new star be added to the union oi
the flag, and that such additional
shall take effect on July 4, next,
succeeding admission.
| The last previous state admitted
to the union was Utah, January a.
1896, and the flag was then changed
to its existing form with forty five
stars. 1t is said at the navy de-
partment that the change in the
flag does not envolve much physi-
cal labor and can easily be &C.
complished for all necessary pur.
poses by July 4. All the national
flags are made of bunting and the
work is done under government
auspices. The stars are simply
sewn on the blue field. What will,
be required will be to rearrange
the forty-six stars on the flags in
stock and to issue them in place
Of the flags with forty-fve star:
now in use by the army, navy ane
marine corps and other branche.
