Old Flag 1877 Years Old

Atlanta, June 15.-The United
States flag was 1877 years old yes
terday, and interesting celebra-
ton were held in various parts
of the country in honor of the
anniversary. Flags were dis
played here by many patriotic
citizens, and today special exer-
cises were held in many of the
schools.
It was on June 18th, 1777 that
the Continental congress passed
a resolution THAT the flag of
the thirteen United States by
thirteen stripes, alternate red
and blue; that the union be thir,
teen stars, white in a blue field. -
Flags of wide variety of de-
signs had been borne by the
Colonial troops prior to that time,
it having been more than a year
after the colines were declared
free that the official flag was
chosen. The first display of the
stars and stripes at a military
post was at Fort Schuyler on the
site of the present city of Rome,
N. Y, early in August, 1777.
it, was the original intention
to add both a star and a stripe
for each new state, but congress
later changed that, so that the
stripes remained thirteen while
the stars increased.

SLATON VS.. FIELDER

Atlanta, June 15-The pen that

old Tammany days of New York
by Alfred G. Newell, as the polti-
cal expert of the World, has now
become political factor in Geor-
gla. AS state campaign chairman

Mr.. Newell takes h,s pen inland"
as the old phrase goes, to lift the
hide off the Hon. Thomas S. Eel
DER, one of Governor Stations OBJ
ponents.
1t is not a mudslinging state
ment that Mr.. Newell has issued.
but it raps the ex-attorney general
with an awful wallop. He calls Mr..
Fielder a "cold gutter instead of
an ardent patrloit,' for resigning
as.attorney general two DAYS after
the U. s. Supreme court had rem
dered Its notable order in the
Ducktown copper case.
Mr.. Newell charges that Mr..
Fielder made an utter failure in
SO far as protecting the interests
of the people of Georgia against
the corporation-fumes was con-
cerned. He charges further that
when the arduius job of taking
evidence from August 1st to Sep
TENDER 1st and carrying the case
further in the hope of getting
ultimate relief for the people de-
volved upon Mr.. Fielder that Mr..
Fielder promptly crawled out from
under and left newly appointed
attorney general with the bag to
hold. 'Service to the state was
sacrificed for self glory continues
Mr.. Newell.
''Dreary details of the monoton-
Gus grind Of evidence taken dur
ing the hot summer months were
exchanged for campaign torchlight
and stump oratory. Mr.. Fielder
quit cold. He deserted the people
''On the other hand Governor
Slaton remains on the job. His
candidacy is referendum. He is
consulting the people who elected
him as to their wishes.
"Mr. Fielder is prating about
the governor retaining the pardon
ing power. l happen to know
that 5 1000 requests came to Gov.
Slaton to commute the sentence of
Nick Wilburn. If. as MIR. Fielder
childishly charges, the governor
had been using this pardoning
power for selfish purposes, SEN
tence of the courts might not have
been carried out in this case. Mr..
Slaton prefers to think more of
the law and less of self. Mr.. Eel
der prefers to think more of self

POLITICIANS DON'T LIK E
WASHINGTON SOCIALIST

Last week the editor Of The Wash
ington Socialist was honored by a
visit from a United states postoffice
inspector. accompanied by our local
assistant postmaster. II was intimat.
ed that not everything published in
our columns was satisfactory to the
government authorities. Particular
mention was made of a communioa-
ton published in this paper months
ago, which, the inspector said, might
be construed as melting to violence,
We challenged this point of view, re-
ferring to the letter itself as being
rather in the nature of protest
against lawlessness and violence than
an mediation thereto.
AS the Tribune remarked in another
connection, under date of November
18th: The best guarantee against
aggression, the best assurance that
our rights and honor will be
respected, . is that we are in
a situation to vindicate our reputation
and interests. While we may afford
to be deficient in the means of Of
Tense, we cannot afford to be defense
less. The notoriety of the fact that
we have neglected the ordinary pre-
cautions of defense invites
injustice, arrogance, and insult" at
the hands of law-defying corporations
and their murderous hirelings.
Upon the inspectors resuest, We
put our views in writing, as given in
the letter below.

SOMEWHAT PARADOXICAL

A press dispatch informs us that the
youth who murdered a young lady in
Portland, Ore, because she rejected
his proposal of marriage, had delayed
the commission of his crime since last
July, having in view the probable
adjustment of the death penalty in
that state in November by referendum
vote The next sentence in the news
item states that this same Thomson
us held in jail under close guard to
Illustrate any possible attempts at self
destruction" And here is the conclud-
ing paragraph:
another determination, he said,
had he escaped apprehension, was to
kill himself on the very spot where
he had killed the girl"
Thus does the fear of death %
deter men from crime. Surely the
death penalty should be preserved as
deterrent for would-be murderers.
It's so effectivel

PosToFFlcE INSPECTOR, PLEASE
NOTE

When the postoffice inspector visit
ed the editorial offices of The Wash

politicians sore on us was the effec-
tive antidote this paper is supplying
to counterfeit the evil effects of trad
ing.class miseducation, school-room
hypnotism, and capitalist-press chloro-

that some of our printed matter might
incite to riot and violence, or civil
war
AS matter of fact, the U. S. post
office, or the government, Is by no
means opposed to force and violence,
or even civil war, II used, or waged,
in the interest of the exploiters, the
capitalist class. The coal barons of
Colorado, and West Virginia, have
defied the laws of this country with
impunity for years, under both re-
publican and democratic rule, melting
to riot and violence, and perpetrating
the unspeakable crime of numbering
and burning defenseless women and
children And they are still doing
business at the same old stand,
President Wilson will not take over
the mines and operate them in the
name of the people" President Will
son is in Washington to do the bust

If the Rockefellers and their class
need lawlessness and violence in their
business of profit-mongering, they'll
resort to it, if they have to call in the
state militia TO do the job.
Then the victims, will be tried (are
being "tried") for the murders per-
petrated by the corporations tools.

WAR FOR TRADE

1t is doubtful if one-tenth of the
people in this country know what
the present great war in Europe
is being fought about. There is
just one reason why men are be-
ing killed by the thousand, why
cities are being ruined, countries
laid waste and millions of women
and children left destitute, why
the countries at war will for years
to come be smothered under
burden of taxation that will rend-
er life hardly worth the living.
The one great reason why this
frightful devastation of life and
property has come upon Europe
is trade rivalry. 1t is worth re-
peating Trade rivalry. The ma
tons of Europe are jealous the
one of the other for each desires
above all things to be the master
of the trade of the world. The de-
sire is so consuming that the ma
tons do not hesitate to sacrifice
the lives and happiness of many
millions of people and the wealth
of two generations to satisfy their
mad ambitions.
May we not draw somewhat of
a warning from the statements
in the two proceeding paragraphs?
By the time Europe is settled
down again the United States will
be the leading commercial nation
of the world. We will have the
trade of the world-the very thing
that all of Europe is now fighting
for. Is it reasonable to expect
that the winners of the present
conflict will, after all of the sacri-
fees entailed, be willing to see
the prize for which the war was
fought slip through their fingers
to see the rich trade of the
earth, for which billions have been
spent in lives and money, slide
peacefully into the arms of this
nation and remain there unmolest-
ed? 1t can hardly be expected
that such will be the case. There
fore it is our duty to see that
while we are capturing the trade
of the world we prepare ourselves
for defending it, holding it, not
against the rivalries of foreign
manufacturers and producers but
against the arms of the nations
who are now fighting each other
for just that trade. 1t is our des-
tiny to become the greatest trade
nation, but we must be prepared
with our army and navy to defend
ourselves against those who do
not hesitate to send armies into
the field and ships over the ocean
to fight for what we will have,
trade. If we are not prepared
by the time Europe makes peace
there may be another devastating
war, and when it comes we will
be ''the goat"

Long before any framed up Insult

Now comes our worthy "contem-
porary," on the morning of November
18th Thursday and makes a clean
breast of the whole matter, acknowi-
edging the truth of our contention;
namely, that all modern wars (if not
all wars) are fought for purely mer-
cenary ends, with patriotism merely
as dope for the foolish; so that they
will go out to battle, under the influ-
ence of this sort of hasheesh, and kill
unoffending neighbors, because their
own exploiters need the neighbours
property in their business.
There is no crime a Christian or
Pagan nation would hesitate to com
nit for profit; for gold is the uni
versal good before whom they all do
real heart and soul worship. The
present carnage and pillage in Europe
attest the truth of this statement as
does every page of truthfully written
history
Washington Socialist, for once, in ad-
hitting that the reason it calls so
loudly for a greater army and navy
is for the protection of trade-for the
profit-mongers.

mitted to consume; and then when

Last week we called attention to the
fact that large part of the subsidized
press of this country is every day
sending out through the mails matter
tending to incite to race-hatred, riot,
and murder: in the interest of cAPl-

All that's different.
We are nation of property wor-
shippers We measure every mans
worth either by what we can make
out of him in the way of profits, or
else by how much he owns. Never
do we estimate man by what he is,
by what his ideals are, or by what he
most admires and aspires to.
When we say man is worth" so
much, we say he is worth so many
dollars And if he is worth" enough
of them he may say and do as he
pleases, and his name will still be
whispered in awe and reverence as he
strides into the restaurant, theatre,
