So James made up his mind.
They took the walk in the tWi- !

it rose in the clear sky and sank
in the trembling lake. Alice CUR

When she saw James wearing a
serious face, she laughed at him
and he was afraid to ask-the great
question.
. Thus it went on, and summer
came to the city and the shop girl
began to look thinner and was
less agreeable at the table. Alice
had dark rings under her eyes, s
and sometimes she would answer
questions with an exasperated
petulance that James could not,
for the life of him, understand.
The situation maddened him..

THERE seems deal of pulling and hauling over the proposition to call an election in November. It was thought that the matter was settled Monday when the Senate concurred in the Saxon bill pro- viding for general election for every office in the state from gover- nor down to constable; but the Phoenix papers of Wednesday assert that on Tuesday the Senate reversed itself, and passed another measure to refer the matter to the people in an election in November. If Gov ernor Hunt is really in earnest in his position that there should be an election in November, he should issue his proclamation, in due time, calling such an election, and then let those opposed take the matter into the courts on applica- . ton for a writ ofiniunction,

FLAG OAV.

dUOpblOll VI ehS "h IA" O. "HN theauspicious occasion was observed generally by liberal display of bunting throughout the length and breadth of the land. The day is one of unusual significance, not because of the flag itself, but for what the flag represents. It is the symbol of the highest and holiest aspirations of mankind to- ward free government; toward government that is free from tyranny of despot or the tyranny of majority; toward government which moves forward along definite and well known lines for equal and exact justice dispensed to all men and all interests; toward govern ment that will assure every man the best opportunity for the best which is in him. Those were the aspirations of those who established the republic, and they have been che aspirations of the bravest and best in the land ever since that time. Today there are few, if any, who do not believe that the form of government that was framed by those who adopted the flag is the best that can be devised by man. All agree that it has developed since its creation along. lines that have tended towards its betterment, and there is no doubt that it is destined to farther development.
 All are agreed upon the main essentials to the government, and the only difference is in their ap- pication. And were it not that in the application of the principles agreed upon there have of neces- slty to be glittering prizes for which men contend, the land would be far nearer Utopia than is general Y believed. It is the temptation to resort to unseemly methods to gain those prizes that causes so much feeling and so much un- Kindness between men. Yet there Is hardly given the ground that is assumed by so many, that those who are opposed to them in their views or policies and methods to be adopted are crooked and dishonest. In iact some of the greatest crooks are the first to fling the epithet
 crook" at others who stand in 'nelr way. And the record of some Ol the greatest posers for honesty ana purity in public affairs will not bear scrutiny.
 Then upon the great anniversary 'oal has been observed this week let all, while giving fervent ale S'anee to the flag, bear in mind 'pa' It is what the flag represents ''a' they give really their rever- ',lee; and that all others, or nearly
 ''[ are actuated by the same patri.
