FLAGS at Half Mast.

Did you ever stop to think what con-
nection there could be between a flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of a great man? Ever since
flags were used in war it has been the
custom to have the flag of the superior
or conquering nation above that of the
inferior or vanquished When an ar
my found itself hopclessly beaten 1t
hauled it's flag down far enough for
the flag of the victors to be placed
above it on the same pole This was
token not only of submission. but Of
respect. In those days when famous
soldier died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely military
usage to public life of all kinds. the
flag flying at half mast being sign
that the dead man was worthy of
universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag Of the great
conqueror of ALL the Angel of Death
