State AND CITY TO
Display BANNER
Governor Miller and Mayor
Howell TO Cooperate in
Baltimore Celebration
STARS AND STRIPES
TO FLY EVERYWHERE

If the Governors of the States and
Mayors of the cities throughout the
country fall in with the suggestion of
Mayor Preston. Of Baltimore as they
now give evidence of doing, the Star
spangled Banner will fly from the
public buildings Of every municipality
of 5000 population and over, from one
end of this broad land to the other
during the Centennial Week, next
September, when the birth of the ma
tional anthem will be celebrated in
Baltimore.
Mayor Preston's letter has been re-
ceived by Governor Charles R. Miller,
and is as follows:
"ln September of this year will oc-
cur the one hundredth anniversary of
the birth of The Star-Spangled Ban
ner' and the achievement of American
independence. Both these events were
made possible by the successful de-
fense of Baltimore against the Brit
ish, and that they may be fittingly
commemorated we will hold from
September to 13 a celebration that
will excel all others of like charac-
ter. For more than a year the citi-
zens of Baltimore have been working
diligently to complete plans that are
in keeping with the high dignity of
the anniversary. Thousands from all
sections will come to our city to pay
homage to the author and the song
that has never failed to thrill with
pride the heart of every loyal Ameri-
can.
To Let All Participate.
But while this gathering will be
great in numbers, throughout the
land there will be millions who will
find it impossible to come. 1t Is
only proper, therefore, that some
steps should be taken to make them
feel that they have a part in the great
national celebration. II seems to me
that no better method could be adopt
ed to bring this about than to have
the national standard, the Stars and
Stripes, flying over every public
building, business institution and
residence in every city during the
entire celebration. To you, the Chief
Executive Of your State, ! appeal for
cooperation, and feel sure that the
general use Of the American flag dur
ing the Centennial Week will not only
aid the cause OF patriotism. but pre-
sent to the world q striking Picture
of the strength, purity and loyalty OF
which the Heaven born banner is
the emblem.
"Anticipating with pleasure an ex
preston of your views on this sub
iect, l am, very truly yours, James
H. Preston"
Governor Miller has sent a reply &c
Mayor Preston. expressing his pleas
ure at cooperating in making The
celebration general
Major Harrison W. Howell has re
ceived a similar letter end viii write
to Mayor Preston Of his willingness
to cooperate along the lines sug
gested.

Abolish the Magistrates

THE Magistrates Court system has again
i been discredited by the scandals in the
STRAW bail" cases traced to the office Of the
notorious Mr.. Call. The prma face evi-
dence is quite sufficient to convince the pub
lie that the petty courts of Justice in this city
are practically in league with the criminal
classes to safeguard them from the conse-
quences of their wrong doing. They afford
no protection to law-abidinE citizens, who
look to them in vain for redress or simple
Justice.
Since the establishment of the Municipal
Court the Magistrates have been a fifth
wheel to the coach and a very fiat wheel,
too. They should he abolished by consti-
tutional amendment at the very earliest
opportunity. They have brought law and
justice into the utmost disrepute among the
most numerous class in the city, whose chief
protection they were intended to be against
just such sharks and shyGters as now use
them at will to harass and oppress those
whose real hope of justice and equity lies in
their. prOmpt suppression.

Speaking of Names

She was round and she was ruddy.
And her cheeks were like the rose;
And she weighed at least one-eighty
AS the hay scale record shows.
She was sound as any dollar,
And no stronger girl you've met;
Yet this big and robust creature
Had been christened Violet.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
He is sissified and happy
And he shrinlts from blows and strife,
And he never said a scrappy
Word in all his peaceful life.
He would show q streak of yellow
If he saw a wooden gun;
Yet this fossy little fellow
Has been christened Well-ing-to ton.
Springfield Union.
She was built of bone and gristle,
And her nose was sharp and thin,
And her eyes were sharp as gimlets
And she had q sCrappy chin;
With her tongue she tore her neighbors'
Reputation up, and she
In the days beyond recalling
Had been chrstened Cha ri-ty
Houston Post.
He is crooked and a CRATER
And he seldom tells the truth
Has been robbng other people
Ever since he was a youth.

But from any man would run;
Yet this much detested villain
Has been named George Washington.

Educational Appropriations

TTNHE educational budget OF the city of
i New York for 1915 Is expected to total the
magnificent sum Of si3,139,3s7, the largest
amount ever spent by any municipality in the
history of the world, that it's children might
obtain educations that they might become
useful citizens
But large as is the sum which New York
spends for its splendid school system, Phila-
delphia is not only equally LIBERAL but, as
matter Of statistical fact. It spends more per
child than does New York. Next year the
metropolis will expend s5751 for each OF the
estimated total OF 100000 pupils This year
Philadelphia is spending s66.S5 for each of
It's 10000 students.
Philadelphia may pride itself on It's schools.
It is only a question OF time when the old
structures will be replaced by new: when
vocational schools will come into vogue more
generally; when summer day and night
schools will be the rule rather than tho ex-
CeDtion,

Sober Second.Thought Treaties

From the st. Louis Republic
Treaties Of peace and arbitration are valuabIs
manifestations of public sentiment. They also
help to create and deepen right sentiment
They are educational and they foster habits OF
thought that make for sobriety and moderation
The Bryan commission treaties designed 10
insure delay and give reason and common sense
a chance If such treaties had been in force In
Europe last July, and If Austria and Seryia 10
begin with, had lived up to them and appointed
a high JOINT commission of inquiry, the war
might have been averted. The whole world
knows that delay and opportunity for more dls-
cussion and moral pressure were dev0uIy
wished for at that anxious time. Without
cherishng illusions then the acceptance by so
many Powers of the Bryan treaties may pe
welcomed as a heartening sign. Such treaties
will be part of civilized and democratic ma
chnery OF war prevention. Military cabals
never can wait: peace loving nations will give
themselves ample time for reflection and SOBER
