OUR FLAG

For more than a century patriotic
orators and writer's have been telling
us the meaning of the Stars and
Stripes. 1t dis doubtful whether any
of them have ever given a nobler and
more. eloquent Interpretation than
Secretary Lane did recently in am
address. He represented the big flag
as saying:
''The work we do is the making of
the real flag. I ann not the flag;
am but it's shadow | ann 4 whatever
You make me, nothing more. I am
your belief in yourself, your dream
of what a people may become. / live
a changing life, a Life of moods and
passions, of heartbreaks and tired
muscles. Sometimes | am strong
work, fitting the rails together truly.
Sometimes | dToop, for then purpose
has gone from me, and cynically l
play the coward. Sometimes / am
loud, garish and full of that ego that
blasts Judgment. But always / am
all that you hope me to be and have
the courage to try for.
Il ann song and fear, struggle and
panic and enobling hope am the
days work of the weakest man and
the largest dream of the most daring.
am the constitution and the courts,
statutes and statute-makers, soldier
and Dreadnaught, drayman and
StreetsWeep, cook, counsellor and
clerk. / ann the battle of yesterday
and the mistake of tomorrow.
Il ann the mystery of the men, who
do without knowing why. l am the
clutch of an idea, and the reasoned
purpose of resolution. I am no more
than what you believe me to be,and
| ann all that you believe | can. be-
l am what you make me, nothing
more"
81 swing before your eyes as a
bright gleam of colors a symbol Of
yourself, the pictured suggestion of
that big thing which makes this Ma
ton. My stars and my stripes are
your dreams and your labors. They
are bright with cheer, brilliant with
courage, firm with faith because you
have made them SO out OF your
hearts; for you are the makers Of
the flag and it is well that you
glory in the making"
