In accordance with the usual cps
tom, Saturday, June IA, 1919, will be
observed as Flag day all over this
country. 1t will be the one hpndred
and thirty.sixth anniversary Of the
adoption OF the Stars and Stripes as
the flag Of our country. The public
recognition Of Flag day as a national
anniversary, each year becoming more
and more general, would seem 10
make unnecessary any reminder that
all patriotic citizens are expected 10
observe the day by unfurIing Old
Glory TO the breeze. Just one hundred
and thirty-six years ago congress en-
acted that the flag Of the thirteen
United States be thirteen STRIPES, al
ternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white In blue field
representing new constellation. The
admission OF new states increased the
number OF stripes but congress In 1918
restored the original thirteen. when
it was enacted: THAT from and after
the fourth day OF July next, the flag
OF the United States be thirteen hOri-
ZOntal stripes, alternate red and white
that the union be twenty stars, white
in u blue tfelc, aid that on the admis-
sion Of new state into the union.
one star be added 10 the union of the
flag"
Governors, mayors, patriotic socie :
ties, school teachers, business men
and just plain citizens are Joining in
the work Of spreading enthusiasm for
and allegiance TO the Stars and
Stripes. The American Flag associa.
ton is doing its share toward pro
noting reverence for Old Glory.
Memorial day, Flag day aud every
OF her day let IL he displayed from
public aud private buildings, from
schools and churches. Let IL serve
as an inspiration TO the ambition OF
every liberty loving American. The
Stars and Stripes, within the recent
past, have come To possess new beauty
for friendly eyes and new terror fol
foes OF liberty.

Dr.. Kepford's work should not be

should be appropriated for health

ought to be willing to spend some
money in health campaigns for hui

worth while to show people how to
combat a plague that is one OF the
worst which has ever afflicted the

r II we recognized no such thing IN 4.
this country as a common law marrl-
age, or any form Of marriage other
than the one prescribed by statute,
would not that be a good start !? And 4
then provide by statute. the same tesi as
most civilized countries DO. that no
marriage ceremony could be perform
ed without some public notice. and nd
that no boy or girl could marry be
fore they attained the age OF Fl years ;,
without the consent Of their parents
OF guardian. Would mot such safe.
guards tend to reduce the number OF
unhappy marriages?
It could not be truthfully said that
such regulations would be contrary
to public policy because they tended
to prohibit desirable marriages.
4 Every happy marriage that was Sc.
scretly performed would have been
equally happy if publicly performed
or performed with notice TO- the pub
lie previously given. Notice would
be a body blow at the white slave
traders, who marry unsuspecting girls
as preliminary to the life they lead
them into. Notice would prevent
many marriages that should never be
solemnized.

CHARLIE MILLER'S FOOL PRO-
POSAL.

One of the men in the Iowa legls-
iature who makes us exceedingly
weary is Charley Miller of the Brem-
er district. Miller is the implacable
foe of the doctors, and while we
hold no brief for the medical profess
sion, we do believe that Miller is
such crank in opposition to the
medics that he ought to be suppressed
and we hope the voters OF his coun-
ty will do the SURPRISING if he ever
comes up for reelection.
Persa nal!y, we like Charley Miller,
but W. nave about as much use Tor
some OF his ideas as we have for poi
son. Miller now proposes to 90 away
with the health campaign, maintained
under the management OF the board
Of control, in which DR.. kepford and
his anti-tub lectures are fea-
lures.
The Gazette believes the health
campaign which has been wa3ed
against the great white plague has
been of inestimable value to the peo-
pie Of Iowa. That it has already
