Judge Clemens said .. .~@
Symbolism has a prominent place
in the most vital affairs of life. In
our religion, the cross; in the most
important relation, the wedding ring.
and before that the betrotfal ring. In
academic life, the seal Of college or
university, whose most frequent use
is purely symbolic rather than that
practical use of attesting corporate
acts for which it was first intended.
And SO the flag stands for great
deal: yet it is not a thing that one
can say much about, but the sight of
it on the right occasion can at once
stir marvelously both heart and mind.
When here in this court men of alien
race enter upon new status, assume
new relations, new duties of such i'm
portance. it is fitting that there he
before them some visible symbol Of
the new "llegiance which they are so
solemnly making" r.. @:>..... 49,.
DR. Barnes spoke as follows:
1T is an inspiring occasion when
We can jointly listen to the strains of
the Star Spangled Banner and wit
ness the unfurling of the flag. To me
ii is an. occasion of much significance,
and | want to express the appreciation
of the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton and our qualification at the APP
probation which the court has shown
on this occasion. :..>** i: -. |
, II sometimes wonder whether
Americans of modern generations have
any real sense OF the significance of |
Independence Day. think that it is |
occasion lily, to pause and |
reflect upon Just what it meant when /
our forefathers saw fit to embark on
the sea of Independence, in the face |
of political foe, when they knew |
their path led to sacrifice and blood
shed. And then let us reflect what
has been the significance of that po-
liticrl struggle which stirred the whole
word. III.
1T is the hope of the Sons of the
American Revolution that this speci.
men of Old Glory may occasionally
remind the citizens of this republic,
and especially new citizens, of the al
egiance they are making when they
become citizens of the United States.
And it IS the hope of the Sons of the
Revolution that this flag
may stand for united America.
There he's been growing feeling over
he country that the use of the n.y.
chen has been oVerdone. and they de,
'ire and hope that this flag may ex-
press to them that the use of the n.y.

IN the part Of hyphenated Americans

Il want to thank Judge Dole and
Judge Clemens. on behalf OF the So
