a blue field, representing a new con-
stellation." The thirteen stars were
arranged in a circle to symbolic the
perpetuity of the union of the states.
Vermont was admitted to the Union
in 1871 ard Kentucky in 1892. 1t was
felt that these two new states ought
to be recognized on the flag, so in 1894
congress passed an act making the
flag fifteen stars and fifteen stripes.
This remained the flag of the United
States throughout the War of 1872,
unit. there were twenty states If the
Union. In 1916, an effort was again
made to modify the flag so that all
the new states would be represented
on it. To be continually adding
stripes would make the flag very awk-
ward in shape and appearance, so
after arguing the matter for two
years, congress decided to return to
the original thirteen stripes and one
star for each state. Congress has
never determined the arrangement of
the stars nor the shape ard proper
tons Of the flag, and there has been
great variation, especially in the
grouping of the stars. There are
still many who believe that the SYM
bolic circular grouping of stars should
be restored

Belated Honor Paid To Patriot

Caesar Rodney. the hero of the sign
ing Of the Dec .aration of lndepend-
ence, Will soon have his long ill-recog-
nlZed bravery COMMUNICATED by a
tablet in the Declaration chamber at
Philadelphia.
The Independence Hall advisory
committee has announced that the
-ablet has been decided upon and will
ne placed soon among other pictures
and relics of the fathers of the re-
pub ic.
While the probably unfounded story
of the boy and grandfather, his cry
Ring, grandpa, ring" is known to
every schoolcnild. the noble act of
Caesar Rodney is familiar to few
Americans.
The tentative vote taken by the
delegates July /, 1776, was indecisive.
Some of the colonies had sent ma
jority of Tory delegates and the votes
of Pennsylvania and South Carolina
were against freeing the colonies from
the British yoke. Two delegates from
Delaware were tied and the third was
Caesar Rodney, who lay very i'll in his
home near Dover. He was suffering
from cancer which had caused him
to wear veil over his face.
On the night before the birth of
independence Thomas Mckeen, whose
vote for the Declaration had negatived
that of George Reed, also of Della
ware, dispatched a messenger to Ca-
sar Rodney, urging him to come at
once. If all the colonies did not sign
the document, he wrote, there could be
no effective resistance to England.
The delegates We're then engaged in
anxious and prolonged debate.
Early in the morning the messenger
reached the Rodney farm at Bayfield,,
Delaware. and delivered his message.
Caesar Rodney rose from his bed His
nurse and relatives told him he was
going forth to death.
McKeen had calculated that if Rod
ney came and cast the deciding vote
for Delaware, Pennsylvania and South
Carolina would step into line and
would swing every state for independ-
ence. He had posted relays of horses
on the route. Rodney rode at the
limit of speed, leaving the messenger
who had summoned him far behind
He had to be lifted from his horse and
led into the chamber. With his
STRENGTH fast ebbing he cast the vote
on which the fate of America hinged
South Carolina and Pennsylvania
voted in the affirmative and then, with
John Hancock at their head. all the
delegates put their pens to the De-
claration.
Rodney did not die just then. He
recovered a little and with enormous
hardihood enlisted and won a commits
sion in the Continental army. His
malady, however, soon overlook him
and he died in his forty-siXth year.
The Caesar Rodney chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
will pay for the tablet concentrating
his memory.

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result Not
being able to realize his own con-
diton, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Er. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Clarity, s3I Charles ST.,
Luzcrne, Pa, Who attend many
cases of sickness say OF them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and favor of any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child :'meLicne," even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DR. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken witIout objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence OF other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A box of IS doses costs
only rs cents. Never sold in bulk.

dishonesty with the people would
result.
We believe that too many demands
have been made upon the common
carriers of the country, We believe
that too many costly Improvements
have been required We believe that
eXactions have been made that are
not within the scope OF reason. For
instance. the supreme court of the
United States holds in an opinion
that the Jim Crow law is constitu
tional. provided the same accommo-
dations are given negroes that arc
given whites That means If one
negro wants 10 cross the line from
Kansas to Texas on an Oklahoma
railway on a Pullman car, that the
company shall provide such a car.
II the state cannot enforce such a
provision in its laws, then under the
federal constitution it cannot enforce
the state Jim Crow law.
1t is the intention of the legisls-
ture at this session TO make the Jim
Crow law conform to this federal
decision. and when il does. an added
expense OF operation will be added
to the lines of road. II the people
want these accommodations bad
enough to pay for them and relieve
the railways from furnishing them at
figure below cost. then the people
are entitled to them, but they are
not entitled to them unless they pay
for them. This rule will be invoked
BY any commission which sees the
railways through the same glasses
it sees the people, and that is the
plain duty OF any commission with
which power of regulation is lodged.

legislators will carefully examine the
nine or ten bills that have been sub

see that they are drawn from an un-

there is no hidden hand that will per

should provide for the letting OF the

as much right TO know where their
road money goes as they have, to
know where their school money or any
other OF the tax payers money goes.

PASSENGER FARES

The lower house of the state legis-
lature has voted TO give no heed to
the petitions coming TO it to restore
10 the railroads the right to collect So
fares The movement was started
by the railroads and was worked
through their employees. The con-
cession was asked in the name Of
employment to labor and was not
asked in the name OF better profits
to the companies. 1t was a very wise
move on the part OF the railway com
panies and II they cannot win by
this method there is no other way
by which they can hope TO win by
making an appeal to the public. Not
only has the lower house asserted
that it would give no heed to the
petitions but it has furnished evil
dence that it will appropriate sum
OF money approximately $4,000 for
the defense OF the &c passenger fare
law. which has been attacked in the
courts.
There is no doubt but that the leg
islature has voiced the sentiment of
the people of the state in the stand
it has taken. The law OF this state
gives to railway companies a rem
edy. this remedy they have not
sought to use. but have tried TO go
over the head OF the remedy and ap-
peal to the legislature through the
people Any railway company which
can show that its present passenger
and freight rates are not remunera-
tive can have these rates raised by
the state corporation commission.
There have been several instances
OF this kind IN Oklahoma Both
passenger and freight rates have
been raised and rates on the other
lines will be raised when the rail-
ways are able to make the proper
showing.
The legislature has done right IN
refusing to take the responsibility
upon itself and relieving the cor
poration commission. We have con-
tidence in the commission. which has
charge OF these affairs of the people
They seem to be inclined 10 be fair
with the roads and just with the
people OF the state
II railway companies in this state
cannot make profit out of their
business with the present rates in
force, we believe the commission will
raise the rates. No citizen would be
willing to have any public service
corporation operate at loss. The
people of this state are making no
such demands. Liberality of opin-
ion should guide, but liberality must
be allowed to reach that point where
