Joint Board Fixes Arrangement.

The arrangement of the stars to
meet the case of Oklahoma was made
in the summer of 1907 by joint board
of army and navy officers, of which
Admiral Dewey was the chairman by
virtue of his rank. The decision OF
that board, afterward approved by the
secretaries Of war and navy and the
president, in turn, was that the forty
sixth, or Oklahoma star, be placed at
the lower highthand corner of the
blue field Of the flag.
The problem solved by the board
was as to the best method of adding
the new star with the least possible
disturbance of the then existing ar
rangement. and at the same time OBJ
tain symmetrical design.
1t was found by the board that the
additional star could be placed in the
field by slight rearrangement of the
stars and without materially chang
ing the general design of six rows.
After full consideration of the SUBJ
ject the board approved an arrange
ment having eight stars in the first,
third. fourth and sixth rows, and seven
stars in the second and fifth rows.

New States Will Change Flag;
How Old Glory Will Appear

Washington, June 24-With the ad-
mission OF Arizona and New Mexico
into the Union of states two more
stars must be added to the union or
blue field of the national flag. Under
the law the change will not be made
before July 4, 1911, even should actual
statehood be accomplished before that
date
The law governing the subject is
contained in the act of congress ap-
proved April 4, 1918. and embodied in
section 1892, Revised Statutes. That
act provides as follows:
"On the admission of new state in
to the union one star shall be added
to the union of the flag, and such ad-
dition shall take effect on the 4th day
of July then next succeeding such ad-
mission
May be Longer Delay.
1t cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and New Mexico will come
into the union. The law requires that
the constitutions adopted by the pro-
posed states must be ratified by con-
gress and approved by the president
1t will be necessary for the terri
tories to hold constitutional conven-
tions, which will require many weeks,
submit the constitutions to the people
of the territories for adoption and
then return them to Washington. Pro-
vision is made against joint elections
for the adoption of the constitution
and for the nomination or election of
state officers.
1t is impossible therefore, to speci-
fy when the people of the two terri
tories will enjoy the benefits of state
hood. Many believe it may not be
before the presidential election of
1912.
Arrangements will be made for the
change in the flag by which the num-
ber of stars representing sovereign
states is increased from forty-six the
present number, to forty-eight.
Arrangement Not Fixed by Law.
Since July 4, 1896, the official ar
rangement of the stars in the blue
field has been such as to permit the
addition of more stars without de-
stroying the symmetry of the design.
In none of the acts of congress relat-
ing to the flag has the manner of ar
ranging the stars been prescribed. and
before the date named there was
lack of uniformity in the matter.
Many flags in private use may be
seen with the stars arranged in var
ious ways. The early custom was to
insert the stars in parallel rows
across the blue field.
That custom, it is believed. has

THE CHAUTAUQUA

Editor Palladium: Dear sir-In your
editorial column of June 20 you want
to know If THE Chautauqua shall be
held in Glen Miller park and if a pa.
vilion shall be erected there
The latter part of your question was
discussed some time since in the news
paper columns so I will pass it by for
the present by admitting that there
may be some ground for an honest
difference of opinion on the subject
and may give my personal views later.
AS to holding the Chautauqua in the
Glen, there is but one answer: Yes,
ed as it is now. The Glen is a public
park open to any one who cares to en-
ter. 1t Is supported by the taxpayers
of Richmond who should take just
pride in keeping it up. AS such the
park should not be used by any per-
son, firm or organization or institu-
tion for private gain.
The Chautauqua is an institution
which, though managed privately is
for the public good, and no individual
connected with it, or any of it's officers
or directors, receives a single penny of
the profits, or dollar for his services,
except the secretary who must devote
several weeks time to it exclusively
for which services he receives a nom-
inal sum and that only after all bills
are paid and a balance remains on
hand. On the other hand should the
venture prove a failure the men who
are back of it must go into their pock-
cts to make up the deficit.
So far, during each of the seven
years of it's existence, the Chautauqua
has made good and has turned annual
ly into the city treasury several hun
dred dollars which represented one-half
the profits. For the first years the
other half went to Mr.. Shaw as pay
for his services and were part of the
legitimate expenses of conducting the
institution. Last year, and the same
conditions will govern again this
year. the city received one-half and
the other half went to the " M. c.. A.,
public institution which should re-
SSANC tAO AuAACct ouPPoAC VI ONVAy ACo-
ident of the city.
Talk about boosting Richmond
The Chautauqua has been one of the
biggest boosters the city ever had. Do
you know, Mr.. Editor, of any other
organization that has ever put money
into the city treasury? Do you know
of any other institution or organization
of any kind where everybody connect
ed with 1t works for nothing, pays
for losses If there are any, and then
gives away the profits? Furthermore
the Chautauqua is an educational af
fair and as such is entitled to all the
rights and privileges which such affairs
enjoy.
The question you ask has been asked
before and usually by some one who
knows nothing of the character or
management of the local Chautauqua.

Mr.. Knox has desisted from toying
with the idea of leaving the State De-

be besought to remain where he is in
view of the adverse comments to
which he has been subjected SO freely

need him. It looks as if they could
