PROTECTING THE FLAG.

PROTECTING THE FLAG. Under a Massachusetts law, maga- zines showing the American flag on their covers are barred from circula- tion Tn one instance. the offense cited was merely the depletion of an old lady, perhaps as kindly and pa
 triotic as Betsy Ross, who was seen
 weaving fanciful stitches on the stars
 and stripes.
 There is no doubt the principle
 which formulated the Massachusetts
 law is good one insofar as 1t would
 command respect for the American flag. But when the legislators of the
 old bay State united in directing their
 efforts against the magazines whose
 covers carried the Stars and Stripes 1t seems as if much Of their energy went to waste.
 Magazine editors for the most part are patriotic people however much they may be abused on other scores.
 Left in their hands the American
 flag would rarely, if ever. be desc crated. Among the drafters of that
 law there must have been some man
 who received one morning in his mail
 a rejected manuscript; possibly an
 ode he had written to '''The Flag.
 What the legislators of Massachu- setts and the lawmakers of other states should do is to pass laws mak
 ing it a serious offense to use the flag
 in cheap theatrical performances. In
 nearly every American theater, audi ences have been shocked by the use
 of the American flag in this manner.
 Every cheap act in vaudeville, des-
 tined to failure because of it's un-
 worthiness, has resorted to the wild
 and enthusiastic waving of the Amer lean flag to bring on a storm of ap- pIause and thus end up the act in whirl- wind fashion.
 Managers of theaters, more imbued with the. business of gathering in mighty dollars at the box -off1ce than with patriotic principles have often mistaken this demonstration as con- donement for the performance, when. 1 as a matter of fact, the audience was manifesting it's love for Old Glory. On the strength of such applause
 many an act nas had it's rate of com
 pensation increased and has gone forth to other theaters only to wave l the flag more enthusiastically when, l the act should have been dismissed from the circuit. ., It is a well known principle among many theatrical producers that l "Wnen all else fails, bring on the American flag Changing conditions 1 in the theatrical field offers a chance
 to do some good by legislation if the l makers of our laws want something l to work on. American magazines do
 not depend on the American flag for sales; but there are many theatrical I performances which would be doomed i to oblivion were the flag taken away from them. Old Glory is too sacred an insignia to be used Tn this manner.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t is solved for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti.
tutions have spent SlS0,000,000 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
Of agriculture.
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until 1t gets within the grasp of
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom OF the age
upon 1t. II is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving
The Farmers UaiOn stands for all
there is In farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be.
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
Of the other, We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side OF our farm problems
also.

S.P. BOARD Of INQUIRY
REPORTS ON ACCIDENT
Board Charges Cause Of Ac.
cident To Failure To Hear
Yard Engine

The Southern Pacific board of inquiry
which investigated the collision be.
tween the yard engine and the automo,
bile truck which occurred at the cross.
ing on Capital and Union streets in
which seven eonvicts We're injured met
yesterday and made their report of the
affair. The members OF the board
were:
Fred Hansen, assistant superinten.
dent; j. o, johnson, Jr., roadmaster;
w. A. Irwin, farmer; Geo. Wild, master
mechanic; S. A. Manning, implements
and Hardware.
Others present: Messrs. T. X. Camp
bell, chairman public service commits
sion, and f. w. MoreIand, engineer
public service commission.
The report in full Follows:
This hoard finds that an automobile
truck, occupied By its driver, three
guards and "a eOnvIets, approaching
railroad crossing at Capitol and Union
streets from the north at speed of ~
miles per hour, was struck by yard
engine, running eastward at a speed of
six miles per hour.
The chauffeur of this auto truck,
when 100 feet from crossing, had a clear
and unobstructed view westward for a
distance of 100 feet, out failed to oh.
serve or hear approaching engine until
within 45 feet from the track, stating
that his attention was engrossed in an
automobile that had just negotiated the
crossing, which lead him to believe no
train was approaching, The noise of
auto truck and conversation of its oc.
cupants apparently drowned sound of
engine bell, which was ringing.
Observing the engine, chauffeur i'm.
..mediately swerved his machine and the
yard engine struck the temporary deck
on auto truck few inches from the
rear end. The collision was not severe
enough to dislodge the occupants of
auto truck, but in their confusion they
jumped, several falling on the track.
Employees on the yard engine were in
their proper positions, and the engine
appliances were tully operative.
1t is the opinion of this board that
the chauffeur Of the automobile truck
involved in this accident was engrossed
in the automobile ahead, and neglected
to exercise the precautions reasonable
to expect Of one undertaking to nego
tiate q railroad crossing

FREE PORTS ARE
GOOD BUILDERS
OF COMMERCE
CONGRESS- SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRlATIoNs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products OF farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
Is seldom seen in foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot.
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-seeond
Congress appropriated over $51 ,OOO,-
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise leVies
a toll of approximately $50,000,O00
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs Of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free OF any fee or charge.
A free port is progress, 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that Of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef.
fectively secured.

AS TO MAGAZINE AGENTS
To the Editor:


August I, 1915
To the Editor:
Your editorial of August on maya.
zlne representatives, while not without
some foundation, is rather harsh and
biased and apt to create a wrong i'm.
preston among readers of the "Capi.
tai journal" as to magazine statesmen
as class.
Selling subscriptions to magazines is
as legitimate as any other business.
High grade home magazines are recog.
nized the world over and considered as
competent council and necessary in eff.
ficieint home management. Every one
has something to sell, and men and
women need to be persuaded to buy
even those things whion would be of
greatest possible advantage to them.
The salesman who will complacently ac-
cept "no" for an answer without max.
ing courteous effort to present his
line of goods is hardly worthy of the
name. Since the act of buying must take
place in the buyers mind, little can be
lost in granting the salesman the cour-
tesy of hearing. And the reaction may
come back later on. After all, he may
have worthy offci that will benefit
you. You may never know all about the
proposition without realizing its import
ance in connection with yourself. Peo-
pie do not need to be informed so much,
as to be reminded.
Another misconception may be caused
by your saying, publishers fix the
price and it is saSc bet that anyone
who sells at less than the publishers
price is not going to deliver the goods.
The publishers do have standard
price for each magazine, although this
varies in some cases from time to time
But most of them also have special rates
in combination with other magazines
and for different periods of time on
single magazines.
Some publications of very fine influ-
ence and wide circulation hold out
strong inducements and grand liberal
commissions to students who find it
necessary and desirable to pay their
own way through college. Many worthy
and reliable students are "making
good" on these scholarship offers. y
1t is not difficult to determine whether
or not they are reliable, as they carry
certificates issued by the companies
they represent, and strong local refer
ences.
The cold water that is frequently
thrown over a salesman must either
have the invigorating effect of show
er bath or he must permit himself to be
drowned by it-and I prefer to i've
