the war were too intense and
our people felt that they were
left without a country; we felt
that we had no flag, and during
the days of reconstruction we
looked upon the Stars and Stripes
as an emblem of oppression.
However, time changes all
things, and when President Will
son, a southern man, in his re-
cent note to Germany, in no un-
certain term said the American
flag stood for humanity, an en-
blem that stood for the protec-
ton of American lives on the
high seas, the spark of patriotism
that had so long lain dormant in
the breast of our people, again
burst forth, and for the first
time, we decided to honor the
national flag day. In casting
about for some appropriate means
of doing honor to the occasion. it
was learned that Hartford A.
Jenkins, the man who pulled
down the old flag in 1861, was
still with ue, and it was decided
that he should, as an old man,
replace the flag that he had
hauled down as a boy, and he
readily agreed to do so. Mr..
Jenkins was "a years of age at
the time, and now he has passed
his 18th milestone, and the patri-
otic ardor burns in his breast just
as it did 81 years, four months
and 16 days before, when he
pulled down the old flag and i'm
mediately joined the confederate
army. Since the war he has
been good citizen. and when he
again raised the old flag over our
temple of justice he represented
the sentiments of our people, and
emphasized the fact that we are
again a united people, and ready
to back up our president in up
holding the honor and integrity
of the nation.
"As he could not climb the
pole at 78 as he did at "a years
of age, the son of union soldier
climbed the staff, adjusted the
cords, and the old confederate
pulled it up to the place, from
which it had not foated for over
half a century. The unusual
spectacle of a flag on our court
house caused much favorable
comment, especially among the
old veterans, and the effect can
only be for the betterment of
our people, who realize that love
of country is one of the most
sacred attributes of good citizen
ship. We trust that this incident
will cause our authorities to buy
a national flag, and keep it afoat,
that our younger generation may
know it when they see it, and
learn to reverence it as our en-
blem of justice and national
honor"

Swat the FLY

Oh, every fly that skips our swatters,
Will have five million sons and daughters
And countless first and second cousins;
Of aunts and uncles, scores and dozens,
And fifty-seven billion nieces,
So knock the blamed thing all to pieces.

The contemporary around the
corner has gone clawing into
the tariff again, but we no
tice the price of wool today in
the open market is about 81 cents
per pound, and you or or he can
buy a suit of all-wool clothes of
good quality for $3.50 to $25.
When the price of wool was 8
cents to IL cents, 8, 10 and Is
years ago, in the good old high
tariff days, the same class of
goods made into suits was sold
to the consumer for 500 to $40.
We suggest that the Index
supporters look up their old
prophecies of what was going to
happen to the wool business in
this country. and reprint some of
them in comparison with pres
ent facts. In fact, we dare them
to.

A typical instance of what
Woodrow Wilson, our president,
is doing toward unifying and
Americanizing the people of the
United States, is seen in the ac-
ton portrayed in the following
interesting article from the
Mansfield Ga.) Enterprise OF
July 8:
After a period of more than
81 years. that is from the 9th
day of January, 1861, to the l4th
day of June, 1915, the Stars and
Stripes had not waved over the
courthouse in the town of Mans
field, La, when the national en-
blem was again raised to the top
of the flagstaff, and now floats
as a mark of reunited nation.
On the day named, the Stars and
Stripes were pulled down, and
the flag of the independent state
of Louisiana was raised, when
the news that Louisiana had
seeded from the union was
flashed over the wires. The flag
of the Confederate States OF
America soon replaced the
Pelican flag, and for four years
of horror and bloodshed it waved
defiance to the world. At the
close of the Civil war the south
ern cross was lowered, and since
that time the fiagpole on our
courthouse has been bare, with
no emblem of authority floating
above it.

The Interested Observer

Governor Ernest Lister has gone out
of the state for a tour of various as
we'll as varied political centers of the
east. He will be gone a month. Dur
ing his absence lieutenant governor
Hart will perform the gubernatorial
duties, making appointments to Office
and doing all the things necessary to
force the wheels of republican machinery
into action. Governor Hart has the
right to remove from Office any ap-
pointee of Governor Lister and install
a republican in his place and he is the
man who would like to do such thing.
If there are any republicans in
Stevens county who have been left out
in the cold now is the time to get on
the warm side of Governor Hart. There
are hundreds of offices drawing salaries
from $1,000 to $4,000 per year and if ever
a republican has an opportunity, it is
right at this minute.

The Panama canal started op-
Grafton under the handicap of
war as we'll as under that other
handicap inseparable from new
undertakings, but it's earnings
in the first year, from July l,
1914, to July l, 1915, exceeded
expenses by about 1924, 900, the
earnings having been 81, 424, BOG,
and the cost of operation and
maintenance 81, 100000. This
balance falls far short of paying
interest on the cost, which at 80
on $4OO, 900, 900 would be $12, OOO,-
600, but traffic will doubtless in
crease this year and when the
war ends the estimate of $lO,-
500, 900 a year made by Prof.
Emery R. Johnson for the first
year may be reached or exceeded.

After reading in the newspapers that
Seattle is preparing to entertain $1,000
members of the American Bankers

This is no josh. have heard it said
that when two lovers sit together their
heads naturally lean toward each other,
and the one most in love leans the
farthest. And. if there is no af-
finity there, the gravitation is in the
other direction at an acuteness of angle
according as there is lack of interest
in the subject under consideration. The
philosopher persists in pressing in upon
our sensibilities the reasoning that
where the heart is, there the possessor
will be in some sort of an attitude. The
same rule has come to apply to all the
activities of life. notice those citi-
zens prone to seek advancement in
politics have yearning for the help Of
power, and the above fragment of in
telligence will be interesting reading
to this class. Within one year from
about now the public will be called
on to select candidates for county and
state office; and, after hiding my face
in my hands and seeing and hearing the
drippings of "per cent, per cent" that
have butt up these mammoth altars at
which unsafe aspirants for public favor
are wont to worship, open my eyes to
the cold world and ask myself If it is
not about time the people get their
thinking cap on. Watch the leanings.

would be grieved, were they here, to
see military training introduced In the
school. He said he would have to take
his boy from school If the plan was
adopted. David Carey Peters, pastor of
the Christian church made the same
statement. Others who spoke oppos-
ing drills in Punahou were Rev.
Frank s. Scudder, Henry Culman and
James A. Rath.
Mr.. Rath, referring to Capt. Mas
sees remarkse about good manners
being taught through military instruc-
ton. said that unless a boy was
trained in politeness before he was
seven years old, instruction would do
him no good. He expressed his con-
viction that military instruction for
small boys in school is a mistake.
Adopted Plan IN 1862.
Answering those opposed to the
plan, Judge Dole called attention to
the fact that Punahou adopted mill
tary training from 1862 to 1866 and
that none Of those instrumental in
founding the college made any objec-
ton.
Military instruction did us good
then, physically and in other ways,
nor did It as far as know make any
of the students bloodthirsty or war
like. We do not regard this step as
having anything TO do with war. but
since the question of preparedness has
been brought up. 1t is fair to say that
preparedness is not for aggression but
for self defense. Non-resistance is
not practicable.
Here we need defense Three
years ago this was so apparent that
the government sent in immense guam
titles Of rations and ammunition, and
II presume they had reason at the
time for doing so. While we may
never have war with another nation
II we treat all nations justly, as Mr..
Ebersole says, still the time may come,
as It has before. when some other ma
ton will think we are not treating
them Justly, even though we are doing
as fairly as we can in the light that is
given US, and if it does, it will be well
to have our young men trained In the
rudiments of drill and tactics"

students should the military feature
be adopted, stated that the training
would consist of setting up exercises.
marching, platoon and squad work and
camp sanitation, without the use of
guns, those opposed to militarism
looked on the movement as distinctly
warlike, and strongly, protested.
Capt. Massee said the drill instrnc.
ton was proposed for the four high
est preparatory grades and all the
academy. but would not be compulsory
for students. He expressed the opin-
ion that obedience, politeness. manli-
ness and physical strength would be
fostered by the proposed course. The
uniform. he said, would consist of
white duck trousers, white shirt and
cap, and black belt. He was intro

THE DOCTRINE OF NoN-REs1srANcE.

The doctrine of non-resistance, held by some
of the speakers at the hearing last night on
military drill for Ppnahou academy, is dis
tinctly not in consonance with the principles
on which the Republic of the United States
was founded and on which it has endured
through decades of storm and stress.
Non-resistance would neither have created
this republic in 1776 nor saved it in 1860.
If this were a nation of -resistants, we
should not now be giving the world its great
est example of peace; we should not now be in
position to succor the helpless smaller people
ground under the juggernaut of war; we should
not now be in position to oppose the principles
of right, justice and humanity to the bloody
deeds of might, injustice, inhumanity.
If this becomes a nation of non-resistants,
professionally turning the cheek for another
blow, meekly submitting to tyranny and OPP
preston, we will not endure as nation. The
United States Of America will either be par
celed among the ambitions Powers or placed
under a pFotectofate and exploited for all the
profit thatrendains,in fabby people which has
yielded its birthright of freedom and erawled
under masters feet. But that time will never
come.
