in regard to the recent testimony be-
fore the investigating committee.

said he would i'm the future take up
each item OF the charges against him

that the charges were false. The
governors statement is as follows:

time in the campaign for the purpose
OF injuring me, thinking az we had

injure the chief magistrate of this
state with the assistance of this COM
mittee''
Referring To w. j. Burns. the de-
tective, the governor said:
In my opinion, Bu,ns proved HIM
self unworthy of belief and a cheap
hire(ng as he has in other of his
transactions"
The governor said he did not care
To make any mention Of the incident
Of yesterday when he ordered ]. y.
King and @. w. Watson out of his
residence. He quoted one Of these

HUMOR
By Berton Braley.

: American Sense of Humor Is Less Pronounced tt
Past'-Quotation from an Editorial)
Oh, once we laughed and we lightly chaffed
At the public crook and his ways of graft,
And we roared with glee when we came to see
Doodle and theft and bribery;
But we've lost Our sense of fun intense
In bitter jibes at our own expense
And when things aren't right in the public sight
Instead of laughing-we want to fight.
We laughed, in time at public crime,
At the ugly Beast and his wake of slime,
By robbers deft we were bereft
And we laughed to think we had something left;
So the laughter throbbed and the robbers robbed
And we snickered to think how we were iobbed,
And we grew quite red as patted our head,
And Gee, but we're humorous folks" we said
But these things aren't "cute" somehow;
Instead of laughter they start row!
And I'm glad-that's Aat-that we've all said sc
To sense of humor as keen as that!
SO THOUGHTFUL The baby yet?'

Our flag is sym Dol of sover-
eighty, the emblem of the love of
country. 1t ought to float where
ever the spirit of this great coun-
try is at work; in it's halls at
Washington, in it's city halls, in
its public bulldings-every where.
Our youth ought to be taught
that we have government built
upon sacrifices as that of no other
nation is. We take these other
nations into our own, but not be-
fore they have renowned all all
egiance elsewhere. This is the
land of freedom, of equal rights;
and the guarantee of it is the
flag which floats over our com.

Old Glory

The first American flag had its
origin in the following resolu-
ton adopted by the American
Congress, June IA, TIT:
"Resolved, That the flag of
the thirteen United States be
thirteen Stripes alternate red and
white; and that the union be
thirteen stars, white in blue
field, Representing a new constel'
lation."
But the flag thus resolved upon
could not make itself. So a COM
mittee of Congress, accompanied
by Washington, sought out the
home and services of Mrs. Eliza
beth Ross of Philadelphia--bet-
ter known as ''Betsy Ross"-to
aid them in the flag-making, and
gave to this country that red,
white, and blue banner which is
the admiration of all nations and
the unfailing joy of every true
American.--New York Manual
of Patriotism.
The American flag means, then
all that the fathers meant in the
Revolutionary war; it means all
that the declaration of indepen-
dence meant; it means all that a
constitution of people, organ
lied for justice, for liberty and
for happiness, meant.
The American flag carries
American ideas, American Hist
DRY, and American feelings.
Beginning with the colonies
and coming down to our time, in
its sacred heraldry, in it's glor-
ious insignia, it has gathered and
stored chiefly this supreme idea:
divine right of liberty in man.
Every color means liberty,
every thread means liberty, every
form of star and beam of light
means liberty-liberty through
law, and laws for liberty. Acc
ept it, then, in it's fulness of
meaning. 1t is not painted rag.
1t is a whole national history. 1t
is the constitution. 1t is the
government. 1t is the emblem
of the sovereignty of the people.
1t is the nation.-Henry Ward
Beecher. -"'--
