DISSERTATION OF THE FLAG.
The Daughters of the American RevOiu-
tion Take a Strong stand Against 1t.

The following very fine report on the
the 18th Continental Congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
in session last week by the Chairman
Of the Committee, Mrs. Frances Saun-
ders Kempster:
The work of the Daughters of the
American Revolution to protect the
American Flag from desecration is a
greater and longer task than we could
have supposed, when our National So
ciety first expressed its wish to see the
symbol of our Government upheld in
dignity and honor.
In 1897 the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution made the first appeal
to the Congress of the United States to
protect our National Emblem from
misuse and insult: to enact a law for
bidding its use for advertisement. for
bidding placing upon it or attaching to
il devices and inscriptions. and punish
ing those who should treat 1t with dis
respect.
Since that time there has been much
change in public sentiment, and the
Daughters have had a generous share
in producing it. The patriotic societies
now are unit in the feeling that the
Flag should be held aloof from the
touch of greed or political dissension,
and that active expression of disloyalty
and hatred toward it should be pun
ished; and public opinion, as expressed
by the press and people, is heartily in
accord with this stand.
Yet we still await the action of the
Congress OF the United States. The
Senate-that much-contemned body of
our National lawmakerS-two years ago
recorded its determination to protect
the Nations Flag by the unanimous
Passage of the bill presented in behalf
of our Society. The House of Repre-
sentatives--or, rather, the Judiciary
Committee of the HouSe-has remain
ed Indifferent to every appeal made by
members of Congress- members of your
Committee, by our National Society,
and many patriotic friends.
We have before us the same problem
and the same necessity for work as In
the past Our supporters are much
more numerous than in those early
years of our first efforts but the result
is not yet attained. We have seen
great progress toward the lOnged-for
goal, but the step which places our Flag
above contamination has not been taxi
EN-. The attitude of the Government is
this:
The use of the Flag and Coat Of
Arms of our country is forbidden in
the registered trademarks, but the
owner of unregistered trademarks may
employ it without interference.
The Departments of the Army and
Navy have forbidden inscriptions upon
the Flag, but the American private
citizen may place upon it whatever hia
fertile fancy suggests. however debas-
ing and dishonorable, while as to in
dignities and malicious assaults upon
our Nations Colors the Government is
equally inconsistent, In foreign land
may disrespect or violence be permit
ted to our Flag or Coat of Arms, with
out prompt and full apology made to
our National Government, hut in our
own land American or foreign born
may, unmolested, show it every pOsss-

all dead fowls shall be drawn before
being placed on sale. Common sense
would teach that decomposition Of offal
such as chickens interior arrange
ments consist of must begin very soon
after the chicken is killed, and that
while placing in cold storage may arrest
further development, the fact that il
had commenced would be enough to
condemn the flesh of the fowl. AS a
matter Of fact. the average human be-
ing isn't very nice about the meat he
eats, anyhow. Half that goes into the
pot, pan or broiler ought to be flung to
the hogs, and better health would be
the result.
Mr.. Speaker Cannon is a wise old
guy all right. He says he would rather
be Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives than be President of the United
States. Good reason why. AS Speaker
he bosses the President; as President
he would have to ask the Speaker of
the House to permit certain legislation
to go through. The President isn't in
IL with the Speaker for power under the
present rules of the House. But there
is an addenda to that remark Mr.
Cannon added refiectively, as he chewed
a dry cigar, that of course no man had
ever had the backbone to refuse an
offer of the Presidency when it came
from one of the great political parties,
and no man ever would. Now. is that
a bid for an offer?
Mrs. Reed Smott, who is very
charming lady. indeed, says that she
has only pity for those who would ma
lign her-a great pity for their jgnor-
ance. She has six little children, all
bright, pretty kidlets, and just as happy
as the dey is long, and she is her hus-
bands only wife. If he is polygamist
Il has not extended to the taking of
more than one wife. Mrs. Smoot says
that the only time when the talk about
her husband hurts her is when they at
tack the purity OF her home and home

private fortune nearly $4,000 to secure
the body of John Paul Jones. The
