HISTORY AMERICAN FLAG
National Custom Extensively Observed
In Philadelphia Today.

Philadelphia, June 14.-Probably in
no other city Of the country Is Flag
Day" so generally observed as in Phil
adelphia and. quite naturally. for It
was in this city that the flag was given
birth. Congress, assembled at Inde-
pendence Hall 129 years ago, resolved,
"That the flag Of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes. alternate red
and white; that the union be thirteen
the new constellation"
At the beginning of the Revolutions
cry war, and with the formal repudia-
ion of the flag OF st. George and the
Union Jack OF England there was no
American flag under which the inn
pending battles were to be fought.
There were conglomerate colonial
flags, and here and there private BAN
ner of some great landed proprietor.
but no recognized American flag
There was no little worriment over
this fact, and the Continental or Con-
federate congress set about agreeing
upon the form, character and general
purport of one. Congress accordingly
appointed Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Lynch and Benjamin Harrison as a
committee to agree upon and formally
report flag design.
Near the close Of the year ITS, they
reported in favor OF adopting the Brit
ish union jack plus l3 stripes as the
flag. This report was never acted or
or at least was not adopted. Wash
ington wanted FIVE pointed star add.
ed, others were inclined to adopt .
modified form OF the Dutch flag with
its broad red stripes.
Finally. on June a. l777, congress
agreed upon flag Of 10 stripes with |;

THE NEGRO As A FARMER.
Becker Washington Says He IS at
Mis IHerst In Large Cities

Booker T. Washington In an address
at Washington, d. c., recently struck
a keynote when he stated that, THE
negro Is at his worst In the crowded
life of large city, and at his best in
the rural districts where he owns and
cultivates the soil.
The speaker said the demand in the
South for negroes trained for teachers
and leaders in the class room, and the
factory was tremendous; but more
pressing yet was the demand from the
best white people of that section for
negroes to take charge Of their farms,
diaries and other industries. This de-
mand Is shown, he said, by the fact
that every one Of the 525 students who
left Tuskegee last summer had been en-
gagged weeks before the end Of the term.
Washington is solicited by mail, tele-
graph, and In person to furnish
trained negroes, and could have found
places for twice the number had they
been forthcoming.
Association with the white people
has given the negro new wants, de-
sires and ambitions" said Mr.. Wash
ington; "To these, education is neces-
sary, both to appreciate fully the newly
awakened feelings and to provide
means for their rational satisfaction.
Hence, from the most selfish point Of
view, the RICH. kind of education Is
beneficial for the negro"
! That the negro Is not naturally an
idler is shown, the speaker said, by the
trebling OF the South's industrial
wealth In the last twenty years. with
mt any apDrecfah1e increase In fmmi-
grafton. This advance Is dele, he
thought, In great part to the well
directed labor Of the negro.
