A REPRoAcH TO OUR STATE.

Three regiments of the Coast Artillery Corps OF the New York National
Guard will this week have practise in the Notifications under instructions by
regular army atllerymen. New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island have
artillery organizations in their State Guards ito fit men to supplement- he small
regular garrhonso of the Notifications. If there should be a sudden emergency
Of war these troops will be available at once. New Jersey could not furnish a
single mar, because the New Jersey State Military Board can see in the State
Guard only a military adjunct of h police power and a means of holiday dis

Records DO Not Support Betsy Ross
Claim That She Made the First Flag

was without a flag, so they made one
like that adopted by the Continental
Congress by cutting up n putting
together pieces of the white shirts, and
blue and red cloth from the uniforms
of the officers and soldiers, Paul Jones
claimed to have been the first to raise
the new flag over a naval vessel. The
new flag was flown at the battle of
Brandywlne. September II, iii. and
all the principal battles thereafter.
The American flag first appeared over
a foreign fortress on the Is of January,
177S, when Captain John Rathburne
captured Fort Nassau, on the island of
New Providence in the Bahamas, from
the British. John Copley, the Ameri-
can painter, claimed to be the first to
display the Stars and Stripes in Great
Britain. On December 5, 1882. the day
when George III. acknowledged the in
dependence of the United States, he
painted the flag in the background of
a portrait he was painting at the time
in London. Captain Mooers, of the
whaling ship Bedford Of Nantucket,
was probably the first to display the
flag in a port in Great Britain; when
he arrived in the Downs, a harbor in
England, on February 9. 17s3, with the
Stars and Stripes flying.
No change was made in the flag until
January 10, 1894, when on account of
the admission of two new States, YER
mont in 1891 and Kentucky in 1892, Con
gress enacted that after May l, 1875,
''the flag of the United States be fifteen
stripes alternate red and white, and
the union be fifteen stars, white in a
blue field Apparently the intention
was to add both a stripe and a star
for each new State admitted. By 1913,
however, the number of States had in
creased to twenty, and on April 4, 1878,
Congress enacted that the number of
stripes be reduced to thirteen to typefy
the original thirteen States; that the
number of stars be increased to TWEEN
ty, and that on the admission of every
new State one star be added to the

marked with discretion and good

It would be a remarkable tribute
to J. P. Morgan as financier If
the people of New York should elect
him mayor, as is at present suggest
ed by a. large number of public spir-
tied citizens, who appreciate the fl;
nancial depths into which the great
city is plunging, and that there is
need of fnancier of exceeding abil-
ity to ward off bankruptcy. The
nomination of Mr.. Morgan would not
by any means mean his election, for
it is not likely that Tammany would
be led by any motives of civic pride
to join in movement for his cleo
ton. At the same time the finan-
cier would have a support that might
lead to his election. There is an
other question to be considered, and
that is whether Mr.. Morgan, at his
age and time of life, would enter
into a race for the mayoralty. For
one in his position, it would be an
empty and profitless honor to him
self, and only motives of the high
est civic duty would lead him to
become a candidate. Mr.. Morgan's
genius as a financier is remarkable,
and could be splendidly exercised in
behalf of New York.

Just as we have gotten the flying
machine so far perfected that there
was promise of it's availability in the
discovery Of the North Pole, report
comes that DR.. Cook, the American
explorer has discovered the pole
and there is GREATNESS eagernes5 fol-
the details which will be forthtom
ing, if the pole has been reached.
First reports are naturally meagrc,
but we shall soon have definite re-
ports of the trip to the pole, if ono
has been made, and that seems
probable. Americans will natural"
rejoice that the discovery has been
made by an American, if the report
Of the discovery proves true, and
while there may be no especially
valuable or important truths learned
as a result of the discovery, it proves
that the spirit of man is indomitable,
and unwilling to rest while there is
an obstacle to be overcome. The
tale of effort to reach the pole is one
extending over many years, abound
ing with hardships, privations, SUI
ferings and death. Parties of ex-
ploration have frequently reached
within several hundred miles of the
goal, only to be worn out and baffled
from the cold, the almost unendur-
able hardship of the trip over snow
and ice, the failure of food supplies
and the inability of flesh and blood
to withstand the privations of such
a trip. We shall wait with interest
for the further details of DR.. Cooks
explorations that may be forthcom-
ing.

farmers ARE INTERESTED
In THE COMING CENSUS
Department Want Suggestions From
Agricultural Districts Regarding
What Statistics Farmers Are the
Most Interested in - Meeting Will
Be Arranged for Later.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2.-The
farmers of the United States are nat
urally very much interested in the
will be taken April Is, 1910, as one
of the subjects to be covered by the
Thirteenth Decennial Census. Many
are showing their interest by writing
to the census bureau for the purpose
of making comments upon census in
formation regarding agriculture as
presented in the past. The director
of the census welcomes all such sug.
gestions and gives them careful con-
sideratiOn, as he is anxious to have
the results of the coming census cor
respond as nearly as may be to the
desires of the people most interest
ed.
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has on
his own initiative, requested certain
professors of economics and agricul-
ture of the more important univer-
stiles of the country, and other per
sons who have specialized in agricul-
tural matters, to come to Washington
for a short time for the purpose of
studying carefully and critlclz1ng the
plans now under way. Especially is it
desired to obtain their opinion re-
lative to the questions to Re asked
and their form, as the results to be
obtained will so largely depend upon
the character of the schedule and
the manner in which the questions
are propounded These suggestions
coming from outside experts, are
proving to be of great value, and it
is believed that in consequence Of
this preliminary study more valuable
and accurate data will be obtained
than could otherwise be secured. At
ter these special students and !ex-
perts have made their preliminary
studies, formal conferences are held
in the Office in which the whole mat
ter of the character of the schedules
and the best methods of securing the
information are thoroughly gone over.
The department is also seeking to
secure the advice and cooperation,
as far as possible, of the officers and
experts of the department of agri-
culture, of the state agricultural col
leges, farmers societies and like Or
CARNATIONS.

While there may be differences of
opinion as to the tactfulness of AS
sistant Secretary McHarg in his in
terview regarding the conservation
policies of some branches in the gov
eminent in the west, considering the
strained relations existing between
some of the department officials Of
the government, we incline to the
opinion that Mr.. McHarg was honest
in the opinions he expressed, al
though it is probable that he did not
appreciate at the time the fact that
a personal interview given out by
the holder of a government position
is naturally given an official color,
and is apt to be embarrassing to the
administration of which he is part.
At the same time, the expressions of
opinion of other officials as to the
policies Of their associates has been
pretty free, and it would seem that
there is need of judicious check
ing of speeches on the part Of too
enthusiastic officials of the govern
ment. Mr. McHarg has lived in the
west and has practiced law and been
concerned with official business on
the Pacific coast and doubtless he
thought he was qualified to speak
on the subject of conservation in the
west as other governmental officials,
who have expressed themselves pro

Failed to Recognize.

A Quotation That tho Poet Campbell
Failed to Recognize.
That poets, like other folks, some
times forget their own creations ls
shown by an incident related by Sir
Frederick Pollock. At dinner where
Thomas Campbell and Lord Nugent
were present the conversation dr1fted
from the use of Latin words in English
to monosyllabic verse. Some one ex-
pressed a doubt whether two consecu-
tive lines composed of words Of one
syllable could be found In our
language. Lord Nugent at once quoted:
"By that dread name we wave the sword
on high,
And swear for her to live-with her to
de-"
Campbell said he did not believe in
the lines and asked where they came
from. Lord .Nugent said, From your
own Pleasures Of Hope" "How do
you know that2' asked the poet. II
know it all by heart" replied Nugent.
"I'u bet you a guinea you can't repeat
It," said Campbell. The bet was taken
and Nugent started declaiming. The
poet soon got tired and said: II see
you know the poem. Don't go any
further.' The other insisted upon re-
peating the whole poem or claiming
double stakes, and Campbell paid the
extra guinea in order to be spared the
recital Of the poem which had made
him famous-which he had forgotten

A communication elsewhere from

A communication elsewhere from
the secretary of the Society of Equity
called forth by an editorial article in
the Tribune OF several days ago, sets
out the aims and objects of the So
ciety, and does not take any serious
issue with the views advanced by
the Tribune with reference to the
purposes and possibilities of the So
ciety. The Tribune has always be-
lieved that organization among the
farmers and producers of grain is a
good thing, but it believes that Or
ganization should be for the dissent
nation of information with regard to
better farming methods, the enlist
ing O fthe members for the carrying
out of practical ends, the lettering
of business methods, and those other
purposes that form the principal OBJ
ject in other industrial and business
associations. 1t is we'll worthy Of
remembrance that the increase of the
yield of wheat per acre means more
to the farmer than a slight tempo
rary advance in the price. One is a
permanent and lasting benefit, both
to the farmer and to the world that
depends upon his crop. The other
is a temporary advance that may
benefit the holders of great share
of the supply grain. 1t is true that
there is not much system among the
producers in their dealings with the
buyers of grain. But the reason for
that was pointed out the other day.
It is part of the times themselves.
Individual farmers can do more to
correct this by their own efforts than
can be done for them. And in so far
as the society urges and inspires
them to improve their condition, so
they are not forced to dump their
grain all at once upon flooded
market, they are doing good work.

to fear that in the future there will
be time of general low prices for
agricultural products. The supply of
land is limited and the demand is
constantly increasing. But the farm
er whose methods Of farming give
him only ten bushels of wheat to the
acre when he might get fifteen is not
doing his best work or getting the
best out of his land. He cannot
complain of any system that defeats
his legitimate profits. We believe
that the prime need of the state to-
day is better blowing, better seeding,
better farming. And when the farm
ers of the state follow along these
lines, their financial condition will
so far improve that they will be bet
ter enabled to cope with the system
of marketing now in vogue.
