Unless the Portland and Portsmouth
papers have been maligning the young
man who is now said to be married
to the famous stage favOrite, Mrs.
Leslie Carter. he was guilty Of some
ungentlemanly, and illegal acts In
making out his application for the
marriage license. He may have con-
sidered it chiyalrous to give the age of
his prospective bride as go years" but
1t Is hard to find what excuse he gave
himself for declaring that she had
never been married before. especially
as her son, who is about old enough to
vote, was with her on this automobile
trip to Maine.

The Springfield Republican tells of an
interesting legal case concerning
pardoned murderer which is pending. be-
fore the supreme court of the state of
Spencer had been sentenced to life I'M
prisonment for the atrocious murder of
a girl in Spokane. Spencer became i'll
in prison. and was supposed to be. dy-
ing. He was then pardoned by tho
governor, that he might die in free
dom. But he did not die. and freedom
was that the man began to hang
around the saloons. and sooner or later
would probably have committed an
other crime This was reported to the
governor, who promptly revoked the
pardon and ordered the man back to
the penitentiary. This action was re-
sisted by Spencer's friends and the
case taken into court. The governor
was upheld. and an appeal was then
taken to the supreme court of the state.
and is now pending. The theory upon
which all pardons should be granted
is that they hold only during good he
havior. If this principle is not upheld
by the Washington court 1t should be
expressly stated in every subsequent
pardon in that state as it is already IN
most of the states.

Evidently the London Spectator does
not agree with what Bishop Potter said
about the true feeling between the
United States and Great Britain. The
Spectator says: 1.-THE British people
are essentially friendly to America and
to all that is best in America, and even
though they may sometimes express
themselves bluntly. clumsily- and in
judiciously, what they are condemning
is not the American people, but that
small minority Of persons who have
done SO cruel a wrong to the Ameri-
can people," 1t was in the
course of discussion of the
beef investigation that this conn.,
ment was made, and it is much
more acceptable as well as more COM
plimentary to us than what Bishop Pot
for had to say. We are not al
thoroughly bad, as the Spectator gra
ciously points out 1t is true that Their
are in England people who hate every
bodv and everything Yankee" a
there are people here who hate every
,,odv and everything English; but tn
+emper shown by the Spectator is tn
nroper one for the people on both side
of,the Atlantic.

EIauntjnu the EIaq.

Every year about this time there so
the rounds Of the newspaper stories
of the trouble into which transplanted
Britains in various parts of the coun-
try fell as the result Of displaying the
British flag on the Fourth of July.
This year has shown that there were
several such instances, with the in
variable result that the flag was torn
down and trodden in the dust, and in
several instances the offender was
physically assaulted. There was one
such instance in New York, another In
Iowa, another in Kentucky, and
probably there were several which
have not come to our atten-
ton. OF course the man who in
sists on Haunting the British emblem
in this country on the Fourth Of July
is wholly without tact and good sense,
but his offense is scarcely a justifica-
ton of the violence of the resentful
Americans.
1t is probable that this country is
rather less liberal than most coun-
tries in the way Of tolerating the dis
play Of foreign flags. While these
British flags were being torn down
and trampled upon in a half dozen
American cities, American people in
| Canadian cities and also in many
| European cities, were allowed to dis
play the American flag, and there was
neither any violence offered it nor any
resentment in the hearts of those who
beheld it. More than this. at least
| one Canadian city, Winnepeg. actually
raised the American flag over its city
hall on the Fourth and kept 1t there
| throughout the day. Think of the
howl that would promptly be raised in
one of our American cities had the
British flag been raised over it's city
hall on the. day of King Edward was
crowned, or the Spanish flag on the day
when Spain was celebrating the mar
rage of the young King.
| Perhaps it is not true that Ameri-
| cans are more patriotic than are the
| neonle of some other countries, but
there is no nation in the world where
the masses love and respect their flag
&C in this country. Probably this
arises from the fact that in most for
eign countries the flag is rather as the
emblem of the ruling family, while IN
this country it is the flag of all the
peop,e, the symbol Of popular govern
ment. When it comes to Haunting the
Aae II IS certain that foreign countries
have much more trouble with trans
nlanted Americans than this country
has with transplanted foreigners.
With lust a note of resentment IN lts
tone Toronto paper has this to say
on this subject: "a Yankee merchant
