Attention has again been called to the fact
that this country has no hymn, march or song
which is universally regarded by Americans as
the national anthem.
In Chicngc, several days ago, Or j. b. McFa.
trich made "a test by asking hundred prom
inent and representative business men what
was the natiopal anthem Of America Only
twenty-three OF them replied. The star-span-
gled Banner" which is recognized in Washing
ton as the national anthem
The seventy-seven other business men named
AMERICA Yankee Doodle The Red, White
and Blue" The Battle Hymn of the Republic. -
aud other compositions. Informed that THE
Star-Spangled Banner MAS the generally dc.
cepted national anthem. they argued the matter
and the debate ended as 1t began
AS result of the discovery that the business
men Of the Windy City are unfamiliar with the
national anthem. what ii is believed to be-
the question will be propounded to the school
children to ascertain If they know more. Or.
McFatrch intends agitating the question of
having The Star-Spangled Banner" sung twice
month in the public schools of Chicago
We nave IN tnlS country countless poets and
innumerable composers Of music. but they have
never gotten together and produced a suitable
national anthem for the nation There is need
for n national anthem of America 1t is
source of considerable embarrassment to Amer
leans travelling abroad to hear Italians. French
men, Englshmen, Germans and people of other
nationalities singing their national anthems
with feeling and enthusiasm. while they have
none to sing. Feeble efforts are often made to
get Americans together on ship and sing the
national anthem" Some start out with 20 say,
you see" others with Columbia, the gem
OF the ocean" and still others with "My coup-
try. It's of thee" with the result that the sing
ing is abandoned.
The Star-Spangled Banner" will not answer
the purpose, because it was written of a partic-
ular battle In addition to that il is too high

Medical Commission

IN the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
religious compulsion was the great evil OF the
age. Each church and sect believed implicitly
mat its doctrines were absolutely right. and
mat all who opposed them totally wrong
and that they and their followers were certain
Or eternal damnation. Furthermore. they be-
heVed IT their religious duty to their OPP
ponents' souls by destroying their bodies If
necessary and each party proceeded to carry
out this pious duty by sword and stake when
ever 1t had the power to do SO.
Inc world has advanced considerably since

Judging from the great number of bills that
nave been introduced in the various State Leg

LABoR's RIGHTFUL PROTEST

For time, at least, the arrest OF the lawyer
Tor the Erectors' Association, The assistant
district attorney of Los Angeles, and the chaul
ieur who operated the automobile in which j.
J. Mcnamara, alleged dynamiter OF the Los An
gelcs Times building was spirited away from
indianapolis. will obscure the real issue IN this
shocking affair but after the sensations have
spent themselves the public and organized Id
Dor will realize that the capture Of the trio Of
eomb-handlers is something which must be given
most serious consideration, In view Of the out
some of the trials OF Mover Hay wood and Pet
tibone in Idaho several years ago, aud the great
cry which was raised against the methods en-.
ployed in capturing them, it wonld seem that
the detectives upon the trail Of the MoNamaras
would have adopted difercn, tactics and steered
clear of such entanglements
The MeNamaras are accused Of d most infa-
nous crime in Los Angeles and the detectives
report that they have information which con
acct the prisoners with several score other hid
eous outrages. Had these men been taken into
custody in an orderly, legal and open and above
board manner. organized labor would have had
no ground upon which to protest. As it is, how.
ever, the detectives and all others who partici.
pated in the capture are referred To as kiduap-
pers, and the arrest of the labor union members
IS styled a conspiracy against organized labor
in general There is considerable to be said on
the prisoners side. They are now being taken
to Los Angeles by "a secret route, and the at
most mystery prevails as 10 their whereabouts
and when they will arrive in the city where
they are to be tried While they were not taken
with due process of law. the fact remains that
they are charged with crime, II not series of
felonies, which, II proven. should drive each
and every self-respecting member Of labor
union from them.
Organized labor. which has the respect of ey-
cry fair-minded man. so long as its leaders are
law-abiding citizens is loud in its protest
against the treatment accorded the trio OF sus-
being raised for the defense OF the accused This
IL not due TO the fact that organized labor as a
whole, eountenance such high-hanied, anarch-
istic and hloodtnirsty procedure as IN charged
against the McNamaras and McAianigal. but be
cause unonsts protest against the fashion In
which the suspects made prisoners This
sentiment must it's COURSE but ultimately
organized labor will come face 10 face with the
problem OF repudtating these alleged dynamit-
ers. one Of whom is the secretary treasurer of a
union or OF adopting another course which will
sound its death.knell

ECONOMY.

Members Of the sixty-second Congress missed
a splendid opportunity to manifest their patri-
otism when they cried down the proposal Of Rep
resentative Cox, of Indiana to cut the mileage
allowance for congressman from 10 cents TO 5
cents a mile.
The Democrats have made reductions in posi-
tons and salaries in the House aggregating
about 100000. Economy demanded this, they
declared. Believing that charity should begin
at home they regarded the House clerkships ~
the best place to commence with the result that
stipends decreased and a number of posi-
lions abolished entirely

that five cents of government pay would amply
compensate him for travelling mile In hand

men, for ten cents a mile from Washington TO

THE BUSINESS MAN AND POLITICS.

Governor Dix. OF New York has sounded a
call to business men, young and old TO join the
ranks of Fighters for clean elections and It
should be needed. No man should delude him
self with the idea that he is TOO busy to keep in
touch with municipal State and national is,
sues, TO watch the administrations OF ofncehold-
srs. and exercise his right of suffrage TO the end
that positions Of responsibility and trust may
be filled by men of Integrity. honor aud ability
In many communities business men have
washed their hands of political affairs either
because their personal affairs make too heavy
demands upon their time TO permit Of their
taking part III public matters. or because of a
disgust With the many primaries that have been
manipulated by ward-heelers and others 1t is
TO the best interests of business mans affairs
that the most capable and Trustworthy iudivid
uais be selected national, State and munich
pal officers Therefore he should not permit
himself to become so engrossed in his business
rs to preclude his further safeguarding hts
interests at the polls If he be disguised with
nrearranged primary or election results he has
in the ballot effective means of defeating the
plotters. AT all events II is duty TO himself
his city, State and nation 70 participate III cleo
tons, particularly because OF his commercial
prominence, and protect himself and the com
