THIS POLICEMAN
WAS OVERZEALOUS

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
am not given to faultfinding or pa
rading what l may happen TO regard
as the mistakes of others, but an item
in the Herald of today prompts me to
break over.
refer to the incident OF a policeman
who arrested a country boy for violat-
ing an obsolete ordinance said TO forbid
the nearer approach of one vehicle to
another, going in the same direction,
than fifteen feet. For downright ASST
ninity or righteousness that act appears
TO be the limit, especially in view Of
the fact that this no doubt poor coun-
try boy was in an outlying district
ton Wisconsin averue), and the fur
ther fact that automobiles aid other
cOnveyances may be seen at almost any
hour of the day at Ninth and + streets
trailing each other with no perCeptible
space between.
Any officer with so little sense as
TO so impose upon boy, who. 10 doubt,
could i'll afford the payment of s.
fine or forfeiture, is better equipped
mentally for a driver of q coal cart or
garbage wagon than CUnseryator
of the public peace and welfare.
Its a safe bet that he is the kind that
fades" when there is actual trouble In
his neighborhood.
NOT A KICKER.

DALZELL AND OTHERS
OVERWORK THE FLAG

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
We think the privilege OF giving the
valuable columns Of The Times to the
public has been grossly abused in the
communication of Private Dalzell un-
der the caption. Does Capital Hate
the National Flag?"
There should be some consideration
on the part Of the public for this gen
erosity, and not abused by acute stu
pidity, such as his letter.
,Goaded, pin-roweled. red-hagged TO
madness the South entered the arena
of war. She did not fight the pin
sticker as she would in the field. but
she furled her glorious flag to the
world. She stood friendless and alone.
II there is any virtue or anything to be
admired in valor. II there is anything
pathetic In human suffering, the glories
OF that contest belong to the lean,
war-borne land Of half-starved heroes
who submitted to the inevita Bile. theirs
was the fabulous achievement of true
American courage. such as was shown
by Washington, Marion, and Lee in
making this nation.
After half a century of peace a
Southern woman may enter theater
in Washington and see the same blood
boiling insults. the same mean, brutal,
cowardly goading. with the flag hyper
conspicuous through It all. Whoever
The Washington times., 1911-08-25

administered the law in the fashion
that is most cheerfully acquiescent in
the plans of the takers to fake folks.
Mr.. Solicitor McCabe, when you 60 to
bed at night, and think about what
sort of a citizen you have been;
When you contemplate the babies
that have taken "Humbug Oil' for
malignant diphtheria;
When you turn over in your mind
the statistics of buncombe perpetrated
in the name of "Eg Nutrine;"
When you try to figure how many
lives might have been saved if you had
made the food law mean what Con-
gress MEANT 1T TO MEAN
Do you ever, in such moments as
that Mr.. McCabe, stop to despise your
self bit!
If you do, you will understand how
other people feel about you.
The Washington times., 1911-08-25

debases the flag in such a manner, or
debascs the uniform of this nation by
such methods is vile, brutal coward.
| see deeper than the flag, and have a
patriotism that would like to see this
nation master OF this eptire continent.
When this nation attains this l want TO
see the flag float over every inch of
American territory. but this nation was
created before the flag. and the flag
was created for the sake of the nation
and not The nation for the sake of the
flag.
II the flag is discrediteG it's because
it's in the hands of the weak, whining
sentimentalist and the sOrdid.
France, England. every nation have
had their civil wars today and tomor-
row they were forgotten. and the par
ticipants in them did not make asses
OF themselves by carrying the flag
about and hardening as to who did or
did not fall down and worship it.

able publication for today, states that

Please allow me little space in your
paper TO say a few words on public
buildings. ] noticed in your paper the

priated a large SUM for the rebuilding

be very much enjoyed by the public, as
well as those employed.
