Red in All But One.

| There is only one flag in the Eastern
Hemisphere not containing the color
| That is the flag of Greece.
| Other standards in the Western
Hemisnhere not containing the color
are the Argentine Republic, Brazil
Nicaragua, Guatemala, Uruguay and
| Honduras.
In this country there is no red in the
| Union Jack nor in the flags of the
| Secretary OF the Navy, the Admiral of
| the Navy, the Read Admiral senior in
rank, the Rear Admiral junior in rank,
the Commodore's broad pennant, junior
in rank Red appears in the Commo-
dore's broad pennant, second in rank:
the pennant of the Rear Admiral
second in rank and the pennant of the
revenue marine.
The war color is also in the United
States mail flag. the pennant for
vessels in the lighthouse service, the
yacht ensign, the ensign of the revenue
marine the Presidents standard, and
that of the Secretary of War.
The flags which are entirely of red,
fcxcept the devices in some, are those
of Egypt, Morocco. Austria Hungary
and japan. That of Turkey is nearly
all red.
The flags of AZ other countries also
contain most conspicuously the color
which is supposed to represent war
AS to devices, the star is represented
on 20 flags; the cross, including the
double cross. on 12: the anchor on
two: the eagle on four; the elephant
on one. Siam; the lion not including
the lion and the unicorn) on one,
Persia the dragon on one, China, the
sun on three; while Burmah is the
only flag on earth which has the
turkey.
The only all-yellow flag is that
which represents quarantine.
The Irish flag is green, as everyone
knows.
An authority on the subject of flags
includes the Confederate flag. This
authority says:
During the Civil War the seeding
States had number of distinct hagS.
Early in 1861 their Congress decided
upon what was popularity called the
Stars and Bars. which was composed
of three broad. horizontal bars, the two
outer ones red and the middle one
white with a blue union containing
seven white stars in circle The
number of stars was subsequently in
creased to thirteen
The Confederate battle flag used
throughout the war consisted of field
of red on which was a blue st,
Andrews cross bordered with white
and bearing 13 white stars. In 1853
the Confederate Congress adopted a
flag having a white field with union
or canton of the battle flag. This was
sometimes mistaken for a flag of truce
so in 1865 red bar was imposed
across the end of the field.-Washing-

add safeguard to the treasure. During
the war of 1872 the bankers of Port
land thought their treasure was in
danger of being looted by the British
forces. and in casting about for safe
place their choice fell upon the town OF
Standish and the Marrett House as a
depository for the treasure. Loaded
upon a six-ox cart and guarded close
ly, the money, thousands of dollars OF
it, was transplanted is miles and de-
posted in the place of safety, where
it remained for two years with
guard of but one man to watch IT.
The door of the parlor in Whlch the
money was placed was Reinforced by
a heavy lock having a brass handle,
and extra supports were placed un-
der the floor of the room to sustain
the enormous weight of wealth. Lit
tie did the Rev. Daniel Marrett think
in 1896, when he purchased the large
house on the Portland road, that It's
roof was to shelter so much treasure
The house was erected by the Tit
combs Of Portland in 1889. The house
is still owned by descendants OF the
Rev. Mr.. Marrett and is one OF the
oldest Of the town, having much an
cient furniture and household utensils
In the dining-room stands an old
fashioned clock which is 1O7 years old,
having been made by Nathan Ward OF
Fryebury in 1901. The Rev. Daniel
Marrett was one of the first to be
alarmed by Paul Revere in his ride
from Charlestown to Concord, being a
resident of Lexington at that time, and
he helped to spread the alarm. The
Rev. Mr.. Marrett was the pioneer of
the art of grating in the State OF
Maine, being the first man to set
scions in the Pine Tree State. He
was also the first pastor of the old
Brown church, which is one Of the
show places OF Standish, and which
was erected in the 10Th century.

Tho 18th Republican Convention.

The gathering at Chicago this week
is the 18th national convention of the
Republican party. The first con-
ycntion Of the party, which nominated
Fremont, was held in Philadelphia 81
years ago this very week. OF the IA
conventions this is the seventh to be
held at Chicago and the others have
been held in Philadelphia, Minneapolis,
st. Louis and Cincinnati. Only three
times have the Republican people
failed to elect the candidates named
by the Republican party at this ma
tional convention. Once was in 1856
when the country unhappily preferred
Buchanan to Fremont and the other
instances were in recent years when
Grover Cleveland was twice elected,
defeating Blaine in 1884 and Harrison
in 1892.
There has been a great deal of his
tory made upon American soil in the
past half century and the Republican
marty has been the chief figure in the
making of it. The story of those 81
years tells of marvellous national
progress, such progress as no nation
under the sun ever made before in any
equal period. And in that progress
the Republican leaders and Republican
policies have been the most important
factors. The old issues which re-
suited in the organization of the Re
publican party have long since been
settled and settled right, but this by
no means means that the work of the
Republican party is accomplished
When the slaves were freed and the
Union was saved the work of the Re-
publican party was but begun.
What the party has accomplished
for the protection of American in
dustres, for the maintenance of sound
money for The integrity of American
soil against foreign invasion, for the
cause OF peace ana arDltratlOn, LOT the
maintenance of national prestige
abroad, for internal development and
improvements, for the conservation of
our great natural resources, for the
curling of corporate greed, for honest
elections, for the protection of prop
ertv, for good government everywhere
all this is part of American history
and is the best assurance that the
American people will keep this party
in power during the coming years.
There is important work to be done by
this 18th Republican national conven-
ton at Chicago and if the past half
certury's record is any criterion we
may all be assured that the work will
be done faithfully and well.

+;os Under the best conditions this
can produce an annual timber income
of G billion feet of lumber with value
of at least $6O,OOO,OOO and probably
much more.
Maine is not the only State in the
throes of evolving settled forestry
policy, it is going on all over the coun-
try.
The foreign countries settled this
years ago, and to this, primarily, Is
due their great success in timber rails
ing.
Most laws in these countries, and
those proposed in several of our own
states. are, in some form, tax on
forest income, either pure, or in COM
bnation with tax on land. But the
land is valued by itself alone with
TO account taken of the standing
timber, and therein lies the essential
difference from our own system OF
valuation which does include standing
timber.
And, as ] have repeatedly stated, it
is not the amount of present taxes.
but the system under which they are
levied that is at fault
Years ago it was well enough, but
now it is as antiquated as our system
OF cutting, and to change one We
must change both.
These are the methods, which,
through years of experience abroad,
have been found to give the best re-
suits, they are the ones advocated In
many of our states, by our National
Forester, Clifford Pinchot, by our State
Authority, Prof. Austin Cary, and by
others of lesser note the country over.
And this is not strange, for it is the
logical result of experience, of we'll
informed thought. and is taxation re-
duced to its simplest, most equitable
and most efficient form.
Once give the lumbermen conditions
which they are assured are stable,
conditions containing no threat of
what the future may have in store,
and they may be depended on to adopt.
with all possible speed, such measures
as are vital to their continued business
life.

Maine delegation in that city and pay
some very handsome tributes to the
personnel of the party. One of them,

who comes in for special attention
