THE STARS AND STRIPES

The flag OF the United States con-
sisting of thirteen stripes representing
the thirteen original colonies and a
star for every state in the Union, was
born in the brain of Betsy Ross, the
famous colonial seamstress. The flag
was adopted by the Continental con-
gress June II, and the country is to-
day celebrating that event. More than
three times as many states are OBJ
serving the day this year than observ-
ed the day year ago.
Millions OF homes and offices and
business houses have unfurled the flag
today. 1t is more than a flag of
country, it is flag of humanity. The
men and women who recognize the
stars and stripes as the flag of their
country have invaded Belgium, Poland,
Italy and the Holy Land within the
past few months. but not with fire
and sword. They have gone there to
feed the hungry and to save the lives
of the starving. Women in Belgium
wear the emblem on their collars. 1t
meant life to them when death from
starvation stared them in the face
The people represented by the same
flag are today feeding MeXicans whose
crops have been laid waste and whose
pantries have been emptied by the
savage hand of a civil war.
The flag of the United States stands
for justice and mercy 1t gave re-
ligious freedom to the oppressed and
it took the shackles from the feet OF
those whose only crime was being bur
dened with debt 1t is the one flag
feared by the militarists and loved by
the masses in every cline and in every
government.
The hand of peace and progress has
made it possible today to plant the
national emblem in the Canal Zone
on the south and in Alaska on the !
north and from Porto Rico in the
east to the Philippines in the west. J
The stars and stripes stand for a !
freedom which was unknown before !,
the American colonists organized their
minute men. Hallowed are the sur
roundings of every flag today, whether
they proudly wave on top mast or
in front Of the humblest home in the
country. There is the virtue of free.
dom in the love for the flag.

Last week, on Thursday, Chief Of

to the effect that speaking on the

thing has gone ON here for years and

first test of the ruling came Monday
of this week, when a socialist agita.

from wagon at the corner of Second
and Main street, and the crowd had
gathered around to hear the cum
rid" agitate, The thing was causing
a blockade on the street, and Chief
Taylor was summoned and ordered
that the rucus be brought TO a close.
The speaker grew furious, and said
he would speak when and where he
chose, but was Immediately inform
ed that unless he got off of the
streets with his harangue, he would
be taken into police court for caus-
ing a disturbance. The agitator was
not to be beaten, however, so he led
his little bunch to the vacant lot owned
by DR. w. A. Clark, just east of the
Shannon garage, where he agitated to
his hearts content.

KING AND SLAVE
NOT RECOGNIZED
Herbert S. BigeIOW Tells Teach
erS Time is Coming When
All Men Will Receive Same
Sort of Treatment.

Herbert s. Bigelow of Cincinnati,
O., who acted as chairman Of the
Ohio state constitutional convention,
delivered the principal address at the
afternoon session Friday. He took
the place OF DIR. +. A. Steiner, who be-
came suddenly i'll while on his way to
South Bend and had to be taken
home. Mr. BigelOw submitted two
lectures to the capacity audience, eX-
planning the general trend of each
and asked the people which they
wished to hear. Sentiment was for
the one dealing with Victor Hugo's
famous novel, Les Miserables".
Hugo was the greatest novel
writer of the century" declared Mr..
Bigelow This novel Les Mise
rabies, like all great sermons, like
all great books, like all great works
of art. breathes q spirit of democracy.
Its faith in God and humanity is
sublime. The heart of Christ is in the
story This is the greatest of ali
fiction sermons and is the Sermon of
the Mount in fiction although Hugo
says that the hero, Jean Val Jean, was
character in real life
Mr.. BigelOw told the story of HUI
go's novel, which portrays the life of
Jean Van Jean, who, when boy, IS
sentenced to the galleys for the theft
Of a loaf of bread. The speaker said
that Jean Val Jean was imprudent in
this first theft but was not criminal.
If there was any crime committed
Mr.. Bigelow said ii was the crime of
allowing so few to control the gifts
of God thus compelling theft ana
murder by others.
Cites Similar Instances.
1--WE say that this thing happened
TO Jean Val Jean in France years ago
and that such things do not occur at
the present time. Do not be too sure.
Not long ago n man was put on trial
at a cost Of 1925, convicted and was
logged at a whipping post in Della
ware. He had stolen three herring
worth q cents. \ letter carrier stole
few stamps in a little town across
the river from Cincinnati. He was
given the limit Of the law by the
court At about the same time a
banker was convicted of stealing q
large sum of money from his concern
and depriving the depositOrs. He was
sentenced to but six years in the peni-
Tertiary. Is that comparative justice.
1--WE don't send thieves to the
gallies now Words change and be-
come archaic. 1t is the jail instead
OF the gallies today. Progress can be
measured by the words the world out
grows. King and slave are words not
recognized in America. They have
passed and some day poverty, monOp-
oily and special privilege will have
passed and it will be through popular
education, saner and juster ideals of
civilization taking US farther and far
Their away from the time Of which
Hugo write"
Mr.. Bigelow's address was impress
sive by the manner and spirit in
which it was presented. The philoso-
ply that in every man there is a di-
vine spark, that of love, was brought
out by the speaker.

TEACHERS ADOPT
SIX RESOLUTIONS
Want State RediStricted as
Present Arrangement 1oeS
Not Tend Toward Easy
Working Methods.

Six resolutions were presented and
adopted at the business session Fri
day. The association decided to favor
the plan of redistricting the state,
that more cooperative work among
the school might be done. The pres
ent system Of districts is not one that
lends itself TO easy working methods.
The resolution will have no bearing
on the dissolution of the Northern
Teachers association as the idea of
adJourning the assembly has practi-
cally been abandoned.
The convention also went on rec
ord as favoring the establishment of
a bureau of information at the state
superintendent Office relative to
available teachers. This bureau, if
established, will mean that teachers
and superintendent alike will have q
means Of getting in touch with one
another, outside of the professional
teachers agencies which are scattered
over the country.
A resolution thanking the people of
South Bend for their courtesy was
adopted.
Following are the resolutions
adopted:
l. Resolved, That the y. 1. T. A.
go on record favoring the plan Of the
State Teachers association in having
district meetings, in addition TO the
October meeting, throughout the state.
at which meetings some special piece
Of work along educational lines is de-
velOped.
We note with pleasure that several
districts have already held their
meetings, while other have made
definite plans for their meetings.
We recommend that the chair ap-
point a committee TO take up with the
State Teachers association a plan of
redistricting the counties of the state
for the district meetings.
2. Resolved, That we most sincere
" thank the legislature in passing
house bill No. S45 entitled, "A bill for
an act to provide for an Indiana
public school teachers retirement
fund. We desire TO thank the legis-
lative committees of the State
Teachers association, the County
uperintendentS association, the
state association of town and city su-
perintendents and the high school
principals association for the work
they did in getting this bill before
the legislature for its consideration.
Be il further resolved, that we urge
the teachers of the state to take ad-
vantage OF the retirement fund law.
3. Resolved, That we heartily
commend the last legislature i'm pass
ing senate bill No. 314 revising and
bringing up to date our teachers IL
cense laws.
4. Resolved, That we favor the
establishment of a department in the
state superintendent office to act as
bureau OF information relative to
available teachers.
3. Resolved, That we favor a state
wide educational survey to be consid-
cred under the management and di-
rectiOn Of the state board Of educa-
ton.
6. Resolved, That we extend our
thanks to the citizens of South Bend.
the Chamber of Commerce. the school
officials and the South Bend Teachers
federation for their cordial reception
and entertainment.

with the porter OF for my two casual
acquaintances.
Taken To Headquarters.
we stepped into a carriage and
were taken away to the German
headquarters. At a word the sentries
dropped back and my companion babe
me walk down a long dark corridor.
I opened a door at the end and found
myself in a room with a few officers
seated. and a large array OF dOcu-
ments upon a table. The moment
came within the confines OF that
room the whole attitude Of my captor
changed. His mask of friendliness
dropped away.
Perhaps his spirit responded and
adapted itself to the official atmo-
sphere u the headquarters. Anyhow
at one he froze up into the most
frigid Formally. Sitting down he
wrote out what I deemed was the re-
port Of the mornings proceedings. I
watched him writing away with all
the sem blance and precision of a ma
chine except for a half smile that
hickered upon his close pressed lips
He was a machine or more pre-
cisely cog in the great fighting ma
chine that was producing death and
destruction in Belgium. Just as the
Germans have put men through a GER
tain mould and turned out the typical
German soldier, in like manner
have they turned out according TO
pattern the German secret service
man He is a kind OF a spy destroy
er performing In his sphere the same
service as the torpedo boat destroyer
does in it's sphere"
Mr.. Williams then told Of his trial
in the German military court and the
difficulties he had in escaping. His
address proved interesting just at
this time and his personal expert
ences helped TO bring those who heard
him in closer touch with the present
conflict across the waters.
