F0RTY-Slx STARRED FLAG
FlcATs OVER NATIONS cARsTAL
FOR CINE DAY
This Sane Flag Now Floats ever the
Oklahoma State Capital as the
Gift Of Representative

Washington, ID. C. March ~
Floating over the Capitol few days
ago, was an American flag bearing
forty-six stars ii It's UNION. II was the
first Alag ever made Indicating that
there were forty six states represent
ling individual aoverelgnties in the
United States. II was furnished by
Representative Mcclure, Of Oklahoma,
on whose request IL was raised over
the House end OF the Capital
That forty-six starred flag remained
over the Capital only one day Then
1T was lowered and returned TO Mr..
Mcclure, who sent Il Immediately to
Oklahoma where 1t viii float over the
State Capital. The arrangement Of
the stars in the union was purely
mathematical, no attempt being made
to incorporate them into a picturesque
design
Ever since the admission OF Okla
homa into the Union OF States, patri-
oticalay inclined persons throughout
the country haye been Offering sug-
gestions about the arrangement OF the
stars IN the union. Some Of the sng-
gestions have been regarded as impos
stble, while others have appealed
strongly to the Congress and 70 the
officials of the Government. One OF
the best suggestions that has been
made came from George w Wilson.
|of Lafayette, Indiana. who sent his
.propositlon to Senator Hemenway, OF
Indiana, with the idea Of having It
adopted by the Government autnori-
ties. Senator Hemenway was inn
pressed with Mr.. Wilson's idea and
Immediately brought 1t to the atten-
ton of the state department He pre-
scented photograph Of the proposed
design of the union and Mr.. Wilson's
description of it, which follows.
"The proposition is to group each
of the stars signifying state, forty
six in number, into one great star re.
presenting the national un'on. The
star III the center of the great star
representing Massachusetts, the
mother state, for the reason that IN
this state the first and last battle for
independence was fought, hence as a
natural consequence Massachusetts
should by right occupy such a posi-
ton on the flag. Around the single
star Is circle Of twelve stars, to-
gether representing the thirteen
states. and are made the foundation
of the great star New stars may be
added without in any way disarrang-
ing the grouping as indicated on the
photograph by the dark stars. Pro
visions are made in the arrangement
for our incoming territories and
colonial possessions, not being part
Iof the star, They can be placed III
1.-THE shadow of it, denoting oui
national protection over them; and az
ithey are admitted as states they can
be merged into the great star. The
new grouping of the stars indicates
the history of the American flag; II
symbolizes the motto &c Pluribus
Unum' (many in one) or one star
composed Of many stars, and repre-
sents union of states, with the thir-
teen original states as the foundation
Of the Union"
The arrangement proposed by Mr..
wilson constitutes a beautiful design
and its inventor believes that IL 1t
were adopted it would make dis
tinct Improvement in the appearance
OF the American flag.

Anfi- Saloon Leagues Report

Superintendent William Ii. Ander-
son OF the nti-Saloon League OF
Maryland has made his annual report
OF the Leagues work for the past
year, from which we make the follow
ing excerpts
The past year has been my busiest
and most pleasant since entering the
league work. The praeticablity OF
Anti Saloon League plans in Mary
lard and the popularity OF the local
option, or home rule issue are not
now questioned by any intelligent man.
Except for the overshadowing impor-
tancc OF the statewide issue, the var
ious county and local measures secured
would be regarded in the aggregate as
a victory They constitute the great
est advance since the Ant-Saloon
League was organized in Maryland
The results accomplished are due to
advanced public sentiment; the ex-
pcricncc oi the counties already dry;
the strong influence oi the churches
upon the lie 81 the State. and the
patient labor for a generation OF the
pioneers IN the temperance reform.
In a period too short Tor complete or
ganzatiun. with only part OF our nat
ural constituency actively n work, we
focused at Annapolis, a public senti-
ment strong enough To- compel the
liquor interests VI the State 30 exhaust
their utmost resources. and would have
won our fight on is merits with the
representatives oi the people ii the
