more will be added this year if the
signs do not fail. In the As states
which these stars represent are nearly
9O.0OO,000 people. The flag is the
symbol of the nation under whose pro-
lection they live. 1t represents years
of sacrifice, years of peace and years
of war 1t represents triumphs and
failures, but above all it represents a
great nation and is the symbol of lib
erty. When we revere the flag we pay
tribute to all that it represents and
are less likely to acquiesce in its
dissertation for commercial or other
purposes.

In view of the haste with which the
average daily newspaper is built its
mistakes should not be taken too seri-

even the judge on the bench has his
decisions set aside by the higher
courts and yet, although his Judgment
is reversed. he does not suffer in the
least IN public or professional estima-

 Bank Bill Next.

Washington, June 1.-The senate today placed it's final stamp of ap- proyal on the administration railroad bill which has been pending in one stage or another almost since the be- ginning of the session by adopting the report of the conference committee. The vote came at the close of a day devoted to a fragmentary discussion of the measure and was without esps- cial feature. All the negative votes were cast by democrats.
 Just before the vote was taken Mir Stone elicited a statement from MT Elkins that no agreement had been entered into between republican lead CTS and the democratic senators for the elimination of the capitalization provisions of the bill.
 Just before adjOurning the senate decided to make Senator Carers mo- tion to concur in the house amend ments to the postal savings bank bill the unfinished business. This means the measure will be taken up tomar- row and may be disposed of before the close of the day. Many sendt DTS want the measure sent to the con- ference.
