Returning North Carolina Flags.


North Carolina officials are very
grateful to Maine for the courtesy in
returning the battle flag OF the 18th
North Carolina Infantry by Maine
troops during the Civil War and have
extended their warm thanks. When
the request was received Gov. Haines
made inquiries of the Grand Army as
to the advisa bility OF returning the
flags and then wrote as follows:
Il have your letter of June 23d,
with reference TO the Confederate
flag now preserved in our State Capt.
tol at Augusta. of the Seventh North
Carolina Confederate Regiment.
Il know of no reason why Maine
will not be pleased to return this flag
to North Carolina, and at the next
meeting of the Executive Council I
will take the matter up. Under our
system Of government in Maine prac-
tic.lly all acts Of the Governor have
to be approved by the Executive Coun-
Gil
II have the approval Of its return
to your state by the Commander OF
the Department of Maine Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which

From Commander Eaton.
The following Is the letter to Gov
ernor Haines from Commander
Eaton.
Your letter of yesterday relative
to the return to the Old North State
of the flag of the Seventh North Caro-
lima Regiment, from which 1t was cap

Not only In my representative ca
pacity as the head Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic of the Department
of Maine, but as State of Maine
wounded soldier I heartily concur
with you as expressed in your letter
to the Governor of North Caro-
lima, a copy of which you did me the
honor to enclose. The flag should be
returned and in the heartiest manner.
This, I know 10 the sentiment of
my comrades throughout our beloved
State. The war closed at Appomattox

the pace for the whole world to fol-

splendid manhood, when he ordered

Chamberlain and our State of Maine.

token of brotherly love. 1t Is glory

July Goth, containing the gratifying
information that the Executive Council
of Maine Mad voted to return to
North Carolina the flag of the 7th
Regiment of State Troops, which has
been so long preserved in your capt.

would send it by express.
Upon receipt of the flag 1t will be
specially displayed, together with all
the correspondence in regard to It,.
You will receive special acknowledge
ments from Gov. Craig and from the
commander of the Confederate Vet
Grams of North Carolina.
The story l wrote in regard to the
correspondence concerning this flag
had very wide currency. and the adj
mirable letter Of Commander Ray p.

struck a responsive chord everywhere.
Yours gratefully and sincerely,

will be most grateful to North Caro-

veterans in particular"
North Carolina also had similar

that legislative action would be ne

the religious war. Some of them
show such bitterness that don't
think their publication would help
any toward clearing up the situation.
So far as my own purpose is con-
cerned, have no desire either to at
tack or defend any creed. My inter
est is in humanity as a whole, and
particularly the working part of hui
mainly.
l have labeled my views as One
Mans Opinions because that is all
any editorial is, and what l have to
say is merely my opinion. In the
judgment of fair-minded men it will
have to stand or fall by how it ap-
peals to them. 1t has no more credi-
bility because it is my opinion than
it would have if it were another mans
opinion.
Another mans opinion is given
here for what it is worth. l give it
publicity because it is temperate and
publicity because it gives line on the
point of view of hundreds of thou
sands of our brothers and sisters who
have banded together in the Guar

Dear Mr.. Cochran:-I have been
reading The Day Book almost from
its inception and have just read your
article One Mans Opinion on the
anti-Catholic question:
81 think other mems opinions may
help you to change your own, and
am going to say for myself, do not
think you have touched upon the real
issue at all. There is much more
than the mere effect of religious an
tagonisms and contentious upon the
cause of labor involved in this ques-
ton. The working people cannot
have economic freedom when their
civil, religious and natural rights are
being usurped or denied them by a
