Disagreement
Over Flags
At Capitol
SOME PEOPLE SEEMED TO THINK
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
HALE MASTED.

The Presidential Annanias Club is
constantly increasing. If any person
hangs flag at half mast on Decoration
Day he is, according to the ruling by
the President, a liar.
There has been all manner of
dispute about the city today, over this
same subject. Most of the flags have
been displayed at half-mast but those
on the Capitol building have been fly.
ing from the top of the flag pole.
People saw this difference and won
dered the reason. They telephoned to
the office of the Governor They were
answered by Chief Clerk Conkling. The
latter said that the flags were all right
and they were going to remain there
as tight as if they had been nailed to
the flag poles.
Why? because the President said so.
The president said in an order some
time ago that Decoration Day was not
a day of mourning. 1t was day of
rejoicing. The North and South had
come together now and their wounds
had been healed. The flags must not
be displayed at half most any more.
