AN ABSURD LAW.

It is getting to be almost a INSIDE
meanor to possess an American flag
in sachusetts; and Boston, with
memories of Paul Revere and Bunker
Hill and Lexington and Concord, is
the chief exponent of a most absurd
law, Writes n. H. Windsor in Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 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 the
flag to purposes of advertising. Even
a glass paper weight, devoid of sin
gle word, cannot be sold or given
away, if il contains the flag. Dur
ing the rast few months three excel
lent magazines, of national reputation,
were barred from circulation in Bos-
ton, under penalty of heavy fines
and what was the ''offense"? On one
a group of aged women were por-
trayed in the diabolical act of sewing
an American flag; in another a
Fourth f-July girl had two small
American flags in her hair, and the
third showed the flag with patriotic
quotations from the president of the
United States printed below. In each
instance the flag was used in a digni-
fed manner. What more impressive
than the bent form of white-haired
motherhood fashioning with trem-
bling fingers the stars and stripes?
What more beautiful than young
womanhood, with all the charm of
grace and beauty, espousing the flag
which mas given more to daughters
and mothers than any other flag on
earth? What more appropriate than
that the momentcus words of the COM
mander of the army and navy should
find expression beneath Old Glory, to
honor and protect which he has taken
his solemn oath? At heart we are
sound, bu in our desire to avoid the
semblance of devotion to royalty we
have gone to the other extreme. For
fear of appearing sentimental, we re-

the drivers are men with records for
fearless driving.
The contests will begin at $3.50
o'clock sharp. Tickets are on sale at
Stansfield's drug store, and those who
wish to avoid the rush at the fair gate
tomorrow should buy their tickets now

and during the racing events Only
one admission price will be charged
and the grandstand and bleacher seats

FARM WAGES IN NEW ENGLAND

"PoRK BARREL METHODS.

| Congressman Taggart'S announce
ment that he proposes to ask for a
share for Kansas of any big appro-
priations that congress may make for
increasing the military preparedness of
| the nation is rather discoura ging. 1t
| would seem to provide all the evil

| made by some congressman, at least,
to inject the indefensible pork bar
reP' methods in the making of what
ever appropriations may be necessary
for the development of such military
and naval plans as may be decided
upon. There may be some plausibilty
to Mr. Taggart's suggestion that gov
eminent arms and ammunition plants
should be placed safely in the interior
of the country. But the best way to
locate such plants would seem to be
for congress to accept the advice of
the military authorities as to where
they should be placed, and not for
Congressman Taggart and his legisla-
tive conferees to parcel them out
amongst themselves for their districts
or states Just such methods are the
ones that have dissipated a consid-
cradle part of the rather enormous
military appropriations that have
been made by the United States dur
ing the past decade and longer, and
from which there has been no rea-
sonable return. To satisfy the sell
fishness of members of the house and
senate, expensive army posts that
have no military value or stra+ egic
Importance have been maintained in
large numbers. Mammoth navy yards
have been built in localities unsuited
to their purpose and the real needs
of the navy. In this way, the best in
terests of the nation as whole have
been subordinated to the desires of
members of congress to bring home
some of the bacon" And Congress-
man Taggart's attitude would seem to
indicate that this same old game will
be played in congress when the ap-
preparations for improving our army
and navy come up for considera ton.
And what would appear to make Mr..
Taggart'.s position all the more I'M
tenable is his personal opinion that
a foreign invasion of these United
States is merely a troubled dream"
On that theory we do not need either
an enormous navy or a much larger
army. AT the same time Mr.. Taggart
seems convinced that our present mill
itary defenses are wholly inadequate.
This suggests that the appropriations
that their necessary development
would entail are the things that ap
peal to Mr.. Taggart most, and espe-
cially so in view of his announcement
that Kansas must have a part Of
them.
