AMERICAN FLAG THE OLDEST.

The Star Spangled Banner has a his tory unlike that of the emblem of any other people, says an exchange. It is older than the present flag of Great Britain, which dates from 1901; older than the German empire standard 1870; older than that of France-1794; or that of Spain-1785; older, in feet, than any of the present flags of the ancient empires of China and Japan.
 The first legislative action of which there is any record concerning the de- sign and adoption of a national flag was taken in a resolution of congress at Philadelphia on June 14, 1775, but it was not until October or November of that year that a commission of three. appointed for that purpose, met in the old city of Cambridge and en- tered upon their duties Benjamin Franklin was one of this number After considerable dehberation they adopted design consisting of the kings colors-the roses of St. George and Andrew-with thirteen par allel horizontal tripes, alternate red and white. A most strange and un- fortunate selection. it would seem, and unexplainable when such an ardent patriot as Franklin was one of its au- thors.
 This flag was unfurled for the first time over the continental camp at on the 2nd day of January, 1776. When the ensign was first dis played at Cambridge, the British regu- lars assumed that 1t was intended as an indication of submission by the thirteen states to the king, whose speech had just been sent to the Amer jeans. The comment of the British Rigester of 1776 on the new standard is interesting. The rebels burned the kings speech and changed the flag from a plain banner ts sae bearing the thirteen stripes, as symbol of the number and union of the colonies"

The Sidewalk Cleaning.

If Marshal Moore breaks up the in the central part of town, he will have accomplished more toward beau tifying the city tlpn if every weed and unsightly object within the cor porate limits were removed.
 The almost constant condition of the north side of Washington street, between Center and First, has been for years a disgrace, though those of us who had grown used to it from the old days could not realize the extent of the disgrace. But to out siders, these groups of drunken. ill., have cumbered the sidewalk in the very center of the town, rendering 1t impossible for respectable women and girls. were objects of amazement and disgust.
 Visitors carried away with them no more vivid picture of Phoenix than those congregations of drunken toughs. It was not pleasant picture and 1t must have done Phoenix incaIculabIe harm.
 There are plenty of places in Phoe- nix where groups of decent persons may meet informally and talk things over, but in all the broad corporate limits there should be no spot where drunken loafers may congregate, least of all in the busiest section of the busiest street
 It may be a little difficult for the marshal to clean up that sidewalk. but we are certain that he will do it with the energy and resolution with which he has abated other evil practices, heritages from the earlier days.

The Conquest of the Ans.

The performance of Chavez, the Pe- with an aeroplane, was by far the greatest in aviation. In comparison with it the negotiation of the English channel. which thrilled the world only a few short months ago. was child's play.
 The distance traversed by Chavez was greater, and in his flight an accident within the first twenty miles meant instant death. The chances for an ac- cident were multiplied in the roaring storms which almost constantly crown Simplon Pass and in the eternal Arc tic winter which reigns in those hith- erto inaccessible heights.
 In the flight across the channel, at an altitude of his own choosing, the aviator Is accompanied not far below by fleet of tugs and yachts to pro- tect him against disaster. He is cheered on his way by blasts from Stcdh .WhISlic5 anu tHc encouraging shouts of his companions in the near by neither element
 There was none of this for Chavez He was as much alone as was An dree, who sailed into the silent north, which held him in its fastnesses.
 Chavez, having conquered perils such as have beset no other aviator, having maintained firm control of his machine where a failure would have been fatal. on the plains of sunny Italy, all dangers past. lost control.
 Great as his achievement, believed to be impossible. it has shown only that the aviator may do unexpected things, but it has also shown that the most expert navigator of the air Is subject to disaster when it is least expected.
 So that the passing of the Alps, when it Is summed up, seems to show that. while progress has been made in the art of flying. greater danger is revealed and more obstacles are dis closed.

BATTLE OF ROCK CREEK.

It was the silly season of 1861 which may have accounted for it. No other explanation has ever been of fered at any rate for the Battle of Rock Creek" that was fought June 1S of that year near where the old Westport and Independence roads in tersect at Rock Creek on land then owned by Barnett Noland, father of William A. Noland, now a citizen of Independence
 For several days there had been camped about 300 recruits from the farms of Jackson and adjoining coun- ties eager to see some real war. So they said. They were southern sym pathizers and at night they sat around the camp fires and chafed at the delay that kept them from show ing that they sure enough were. he roes. It seemed a shame that soldiers of their valor, they told each other, should be wasting so much time that night as well be employed tot good advantage pulverizing the enemy.
 Here in Kansas City the Union troops were camped, and the morning of June 13 two Confederate scouts re- lIOiii d itIOillioiNi ms tABfhiH tion announced that a company of the Union troops were approaching. It proved to be Capt. William F. Prince with about a hundred men under a flag of truce, and Col. Holloway of the Confederate, troops advanced to meet him. There was a conference and the two officers started back to their respective commands.
 Nobody ever knew exactly what started it, but just at this juncture over in the Confederate camp every body appeared to begin shooting and running at about the same time They weren't firing at the enemy, but had turned their guns upon one another in their confusion, and before the shoot ing could be stopped several men had been killed, among them Col. Hollo- way Many were wounded. Of course the Confederates thought they were firing on the enemy. The uniforms of the Confederate and the Union soldiers at that time were largely inn provised, so that such a mistake was easily made.
 As for the enemy" they were stand ing on the hill several hundred yards away, gazing m aStonlShment upon the demonstration that was going on in the Confederate camp. When the firing had subsided the enemy" marched calmly back to Kansas City. glad enough doubtless to get away for its hundred soldiers would not have made much of an impression probably upon the 300 men in the Confederate camp-a little detail which the excited Confederates appeared not to have considered.
 Subsequently most of the men in the camp became brave sol diers, but at that time the men were and undiciplined, and their nerves were not yet panic proof.
 The battle of Rock Creek is believed to be the only humorous battle in the civil war-Kansas City Journal.

The admission of Chairman Wood ruff that the result in the Saratoga convention is going ''to be close" will generally be interpreted to mean that the party boss is expecting defeat. The "Old Guard" has run up against something, that is. a combination of things. stronger than a well-oiled and welI-adjusted machine--the personal popularity of Colonel Roosevelt, the frequently expressed popular approval of Governor Hughes administration and the powerful influence of Presi- dent Taft.

UTCHERS GET DAIRY
COWS, MILKMEN CHARGE

Dairymen have protested to the Com
-tssioners against the practice Of selling
yndemned milk COWS to butchers 10 be
a1ghtered for food.
They charge that these animals are
old at % per cent less than their value.
he practice is regular, and has the in
-orsement of the health department, the
.7irymen declare. They say they have
eceipts for money paid by the govern
aent for the cows, less the amount for
which the condemned cattle were pur-
shased by the butchers.
These dairymen assert that the inspeC-
tors work hand in hand with the
butchers, fixing the price of the con-
demned animals, and that the butchers
are ready to take all such condemned
animals when offered. If a dairyman
values his condemned COW at $50, and the
butcher offers So the $50 difference, less
20 per cent. is paid by the government
to the original dairyman owner.
This protest comes largely from Con-
gress Heights, where much of the District
milk supply came from, but where many
of the dairymen were practically put out
of business by the tuberculin test OF
herds.
It is claimed by the officials of the
quarantine division of the Bureau Of Ami
nal Industry, of the Department Of Agri-
culture, that condemned cattle arr
slaughtered AT a designated place, ant
after they are killed their carcasses are
carefully examined, and If found TO show
signs of advanced tuberculosis. the meat
is destroyed by acids, and afterwart
burned.
