The Writ of Iniunetlon.

It will be a big day for the country when political parties learn the wisdom or the adage, Honesty Is the best pol icy" which Is to say that hypocrisy man in defeat is immeasurably more fortunate than your false knave in vic- tory.
 Something has been said about the writ of injunction as a party question It should have no more place in party politics in a free country than the writ of habeas corpus. One Of these great bulwarks of Anglo-saxon liberty se- cures cures the citizen in his property and the other seoures him in his lib- erty.
 The writ of injunction can have no terrors for any man who does not con- template an injury to his neighbor-it merely forbids the man upon whom it is served to perpetuate wrong
 No thief .e'er felt the halter draw,
 With good opinion Of the law"
 All this clamor against the writ Of injunction is the demagogue cry to placate the criminal and hoodwink the ignorant.
 In thurth. labor Is as vitally interest ed in the security of property as capi- tai is. for labor has no employment e%- cept that which capital supplies. and where is the capitalist that will build if there is taken from him the securi- ty that is buttressed in the writ of in- junction?
 In the first place, less than fifty per cent Of the skilled artisans of this country are organized" and of or garized labor we do not believe that twenty per cent is abjectly subservient to the professional labor leaders.
 We have confidence in the American judiciary, and the ciamor against the writ of injunction is nothing but an impeachment of the judiciary. It is unfortunate that the thing is in pol JtJca and If there had been no dema gogues 1t would not have been in poll ftfrQ

ABoUT THE FLAe.

Many of our readers have no doubt seen references to Flag day." and its observance. probably without knowing its significance. June l4 is the day set apart but as that day fell on Sum day this year most of the places ob. served Monday. the 18th, as flag day. In answer to an inquirer The Hart ford courant gives this explanation of the day:
 Flag Day is the birthday of the Stars and Stripes. being the anniver- sary of the day of the first legislation on 2 national flag. This was on June l4. }777. and was in the fern of . of the thirteen United states tate be bee thir. Rns teen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars white n 2 blue field. representing the new Vermont and Kentucky. the number of stars was increased to fifteen and the same was done with the stripes, but in 1918 action was taken reducing the number of stripes to thirteen--one for each of the original states-and mak- ing the stars at all times equal in mum Der to the states in the Union.
 For various reasons little attention was paid to the day down South. but all though the North, and especially in New England. the day was observed with due enthusiasm and other things. The brief explanation given by The courant shows those who are not posted the reason for the, number of stars and stripes on the national flag. We are free to admit that for the time being we failed to remember that there had ever been any change in the number of stripes from the original thirteen, placed on the nag at the time of its adoption. not having read up on the matter recently.
 when we consider 1t properly it is plain that the rule adopted in ISIS was proper one. So far as the number of stars is concerned there is no ma teriai difnculty The union can be easily made to contain star for each State that Is likely to ever be added to the American Union. It is differ. ent with the stripes. for to put forty six of them .on . flag of ordinary size would be difficult, ana the stripes would be SC narrow as to hardly be distinguishable. saying nothing of the States that may be added. And so "old Glory'-wiil continue to contain thirteen stripes and a star for each

HIstory to se Repsateds

It may be that the Republicans of Republican States want Mr. Taft as their candidates; but as the affair ar- ranges itself at this moment, with the Chicago Convention close at hand, 1t appears that the administration pur- poses to thrust Taft upon the Repub- votes in convention of { Republican mic nority of the South. which. musters hardly enough members to Ill the sal- aried Federal offices there.
 And the situation carries its warn ing. The second nomination of liar. rison in 1892 was secured in the same manner as the nomination of Taft is Republican Convention was stuffed with Federal office holders. largely from Southern States that had no Republi- can electoral votes to deliver. Practi- cal politics worked all right so far. just as 1t is working todayi but when the States voted in Noyem per they gave 145 for Benjamin Harrison.
 A chief contributory force to this hts- troic defeat of the Republican Party was the national scandsl created by practical politics, such as are seen in operation at Chicago today.

 In commenting on the above me Macon Telegraph says, there is no die rect connection, but the relation is similar to that of cause and effect be- tween the condition described in the above and the following uttersnee of that rock ribbed Republican news paper. The Philadelphia Inquirer.
 "Doubtless there is some resentment ment in the North over the fact that the vote of the negro has been elimin- ated in the South, but the feeling is growing that the adoption of the fif- teenth amendment was a mistake and that it is best to let the South see If it can not settle it's own problem on its own account"
 The meaning of this is that since Philadelphia and the North in general have begun to face a small fraction of the problem of which the South has too large a share community of inter est has led to greater catholieity of judgment. Besides. the power wielded by the made to order delegates from the South to the Republican Conven- ton will undoubtedly be the control ling force at Chicago. They are all under orders to vote against Pennsyl- vania's candidate for President-hence some of these tears.

 Quite true; the Democratic party has not heeE, united on the essentials of party doctrine and. each faction has done it's best to rule. The result-- ruin.
 When the leaders of the party can unite on some common ground and put up a candidate who will represent the real principles of the Democratic faith, progress may be expected and the party will again become a political force. Until this takes place democracy will be nothing but a sullen protest against the ineveitable.
