An Absurd Law.

Ii Is getting to be almost a mis-
deineanor to possess an American
flag in Massachusetts; and Boston,
with memories of Paul Revere and
Bunker Hill AID Lexington and
Concord, is the chief exponent of a
most absurd law. 1t is ruled that
the use of the American flag as any
part of the illustrated front cover of
a magazine is a debasement of Re
flag to purposes of advertising
Even glass paper weight devoid of
a single word, cannot be sold or
given away, if it contains the
flag.
During the past few months three
excellent magazines, of national
reputation, were barred from circu-
ton in Boston, under penalty of
heavy fines-and what was the
'i'offense?" On one a group of aged
women were portrayed in the dia-
bolical act of sewing an American
flag; in another a Fourth. of-July
girl had two small American flags
in her hair and the third showed
the flag with patriotic quota
tons from the President of the
United States printed below.
In each instance the flag was used
in a dignified manner. What more
impressive than the bent form of
white-haired motherhood fashioning
with trembling fingers the stars and
stripes? What more beautiful than
young womanhood, with all the
charm of race and beauty. espous-
ing the flag which has given more
to daughters and mothers than any
other flag on earth? What more
appropriate than that the moment
Gus words of the commander of the
Army and Navy should find ex
preston beneath Old Glory. to honor
and protect which he has taken his
solemn oath?
At heart we are sound, but in our
desire to avoid the semblance of de-
votion to royalty we have gone to
the other extreme.
For fear of appearing sentimen-
tai, we reluctantly arise when the
national anthem is played; we see
its folds break from the peak
with covered heads and faint ap-
plause. Must we have another
scourge of shot and shell to teach
us the lesson of its worth?
What we need in this great melt
ing pot of nations is not less Amer
lean flag but more of it. Let it fly
from every schoolhouse. in every
state; let it unfurl when our courts
of law convene; let its folds drape
our pulpits; give it a place in every
shop. and Office, and home. Let
our girls wear it in their hair, and
our boys wear it on their breast,
Let it not be the emblem of a holt
day. but let it find its response
from the first words of first-born
all the way through life, and with
his last breath let him praise its
grandeur and bequeath its trust to
children's children H. H. Windsor

Mechanics Magazine.

soldier; the companion of the des-

When sweeping mist and frosty air

Time was when beat of horses feet
Upon the hard highroad
Was music to the youthful hearts
That formed the hay-rack's load;
Today the chugging motor car
DIsturbs the countryside
Quite out-of-date, forgotten, is
The old-time hay-rack ride.

All, merry was the laughter then

AGAINST IMPEACHMENT
CAUCUS DECIDED NOT TO START
THE PROCEEDINGS.
Members of General Assembly Had
Considered Advisabiity Of Action
Against Governor Who Resigned.

AS the result Of conference held
at Columbia Tuesday night, impeach.
ment proceedings will not be started
against Gov. Cole L. Blease by the
House Of Representatives. The con.
ference which reached this decision
was attended by about Is leaders
from both branches Of the general
assembly, when they, in secret ses-
sion, considered this proposed action.
1t being pointed out during the
conference that the chief executive
would be legally entitled to place on
the witness stand before the members
OF the Senate and justices OF the su-
preme court, acting as judges, every
person in this and other states to
testify in his favor, it was decided i'm
peachment would be impractical.
The conference reached the conclu-
son, it was stated by one OF that
Der, that such proceedings could
be drawn out for such period that
the state would be reed to spend
thousands Of dollars, and finally prob
ably would be forced to drop the i'm
parchment effort because Of the great
expense to the state the governor
could occasion.
The meeting came to the realiza-
ton, after discussion extending over
two hours, that, though there exist
ed small doubt "in our minds that
the governor would be impeached
when decision by the Senate was
reached, the chances in Gov. Blease's
favor were such that he could, with
in the law, "nlibuster" the state Gin
to bankruptcy"
That legislator discussing the con-
ference stated that cit was deter
mined crowd that gathered here to
make plans for beginning these pro-
ceedings. The resolutions were pre-
pared, and to a discussion Of them
was given to first consideration Of
the conference. It was decided, how
ever, to our disappointment, tat the
power possessed by the governor was
sufficient to probably bring substan-
tial failure to the movement"
Another disquieting factor the con-
ferees stated in session that they
would be forced to contend with
those weakened" members, 10
OF whom could, by objecting,
cause a delay Of at least "a hours
in the vote on the articles that would
begin the impeachment proceedings
and temporarily, at least, disqualify
the governor. In that event, which
was expected, it was explained that
the governor could "do his worst.
and even "the supreme court could
not stop him"
1t was pointed out to the confer
ence that Gov. Blease has only a few
more days to serve as chief execu-
tive, and that instituting impeach-
ment proceedings against him would
"fail to accomplish any substantial
good, for We could not In any way
place him in Jail unless developments
gave evidence sufficient to support
warrant for crime. and that could not
be served until his term Of Office had
expired and the proceedings complet-
ed"

ton, as well as obsolute ordnance
and ordnance stores. I believe the
war department will be entirely
friendly toward the proposed reor-
ganization and in starting a new
slate.
In a communication from the Sec
retary of war to Gov. Blease, dated
July 6, 1914, Secretary Garrison said:
1T is hoped that the state will take
early and effective steps to settle the
above mentioned prop rty questions,
to generally reorganiZe the militia In
a manner that Will assure an effective
and stable force, to provide in the
future for prompt compliance with
the federal laws for the government
OF the organized militia and to pro-
vide for the safekeeping and account
ability of government supplies loaned
to the militia of the state
"The state, however, must do its
share, and the legislature and Gov.
Manning should see to this. Gov.
Blease's action, instead Of being
harmful, as he, no doubt, intended it
to be, will result in great good to the
states military establishment.
"In the same letter above quoted
from, Secretary Garrison said: When
the organized militia of South Caro-
lima is placed on a satisfactory basis
the war department will consider the
withdrawal Of he restrictions Of
which you are informed in this COM
munication, and which are effective
on and after this date Mr.. CARR
sons letter is on file IN the executive
Office in Columbia, no doubt, and
Gov. Manning can read 1t and find out
the exact status from the war de-
partment's view.
'In starting q new slate, which
will be necessary after the war de-
partment has received and receipted
for such arms and stores as are turn
ed In, Gov. Manning can feel the sat
isfaction Of having accomplished
something for the state, without in
curing the odium Of unpopularity
which would come had be inaugural
ed it.
'In my judgment, the legislature,
If it is wise, will provide for the thor
ough reorganization Of the militia
and put it on a more efficient basis
than it now is. The war scare which
the European situation has produced,
and clamor for preparedness to meet
a possible invasion, has shown the
necessity to me Of the different states
having thorough overhauling Of
their military establishments"

SENT TO CONFERENCE.
House Refuses Two Of Senate Amend
ments to immigration Bill

The immigration bill was sent to
confer, 20 late Thursday by the
House, after it had registered its dis
approval Of Senate amendments bar
ring members OF the African or
black race" and exempting agricul-
tural immigrants from Belgium from
the literacy test and the contract i'm
migration provisions.
Both these amendments caused
protracted debates. Most Southern
members favored retention of the ne
gro amendment, but others suggested
that to press it might mean final de-
feat Of the entire bill. Northern rep
resentatives generally opposed the
provision. After an extended debate
a roll call showed a vote Of 252 to IS
against 1t.
