Flag Day Observance.

Flag day comes again and the 13Jth
birthday Of the Star Spangled Banner is
being observed with perhaps little more
patriotic speech and song even than in
other years. The Star has told in adj
vance how the anniversary of the adop-
ton OF the national banner would be OBJ
served and gives full account of todays
celebration in the public schools Many
of the speakers at these school exercises
We're Grand Army men whose patriotism
expressed itself in action. who were en-
titled 10 talk on the subject of patriotism
and who because of the example they
set have impressed the boys and girls
whom they addressed.
II Is an important thing that patriotism
be instiiled in the minds of school chill
dren. Many will carry il with them
through later years. Patriotisrs may not
be a declining sentiment, but many men
find II more comfortable to make patri-
otto speeches than to perform patriotic
deeds. With 100 many the interest OF
faction or of party. >hich in numerous
instances means the interest of self is
heId paramount 10 the broader spirit of
the interest of all. Nearly every man is
patriot when the sacrifice is merely the
expenditure Of a few PHRASES, but many
mans patriotism dwindles when the
cost is greater
The fitting observance cf Flag day will
have is impress on the children and to
some extent on their elders. 1t is a good
thing that so much devotion and enthusi-
assn should be put into the celebration
OF this day.

Save the Natural Parks.

Nothing has been recently heard of the
proposition that was brought into public
ity last year of creating national park
OF lands lying northward and eastward of
Washington between the Eastern branch
and the Patuxent and westward of WASH

ing the lands adjacent to Great Falls. The
proposition was in a general sense COM

that they called for the overcoming OF

as the years pass these rustic stretches
