WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FLAG?

Today, the fourteenth Of June, is designated
in the national calendar as alag day. It is
intended to commemorate the adoption of ''The
Star Spangled Banner as the national flag.
The broad stripes of the banner represent the
original thirteen free and independent states,
and the white stars in the blue field show a
star for every state-individual, sovereign
states united in one nation--bound together by
a constitution that provides for the perpetuity
of the union as ''the land of the free and the
home of the brave
1t is what the flag represents. not the flag
itself that is honored today if the day is OBJ
served in the proper spirit. The flag Of the
United States does not consist mainly of the
red. white and blue bunting arranged in form
and proportions according to law. That is the
banner we see with our eyes But if that was
all it conveyed to our inner consciousness it
would scarcely be worth the cost of the ma
terial from which it was made. 1t would mere
" be piece of drapery used for decorative
purposes.
1t is what the flag represents more than the
flag itself that makes it an inspiration for
patriotism and an emblem Of freedom that fills
Dur hearts with pride as it floats in the air
hrapes the platform.
The flag represents the soverei gnty of the
United States as a nation, to every Ameri
can his sovereignty as a citizen. 1t repre-
sents vital, sacred rights guaranteed by the
constitution. 1t represents the rich heritage of
liberty that has come to us as people, all of

AVIATION CORPS A NECESSITY.

An essential part of any scheme of national
defense will be the aviation corps. Aviation
cannot be taught by correspondence, and no
person can become competent aero pilot with
out considerable practical knowledge of me-
chanics and the air, to which there is no royal
road. The deartment therefore, is acting
wisely in endeavoring to make it possible for
national guardsmen to receive thorough in
struct1on IN the maintenance and operation OF
flying machines for military purposes. The
war in Europe has afforded the most convinc-
ing evidence Of the need of a large and compe-
tent aviation corps and no time should be lost
in making it available for use. Forty states, it
is said stand read to add aviation units to
their national guard organizations, and under
the supervision Of the department and regu-
lar army these ought to become useful in sup
plementing the work of the army and in
Strengthening it in time Of war.

us who have homes in this land; and it repre-
sents the divine influences that have preserved
JUS as nation.
Therefore, looking at the flags that in Keo-
and elsewhere today are displayed as decora-
tons, we should see beyond the bunting vi
sions of those inestimable rights, privileges and
opportunities that "Old Glory represents.
These deserve fealty, our reverence, our
devotion, and should inspire the most ardent
patriotism. 1t is not an eye service but heart
service that signifies true loyalty to the coun
try and its flag

Harding. and if they should show as
| much power in the impending cam
paign as before the primaries, Mr..
Harding's work for the defeat of Mr..
Meredith would be greatly simplified.

Mr. Wilson was thinking about when
he said he was tempted to rent pair
of whiskers.

republican nominee for president Of

and for more than four years has
kept the politics of the country in
a violent turmoil.

ing to find out where his majority
came from. So far as the Hawk-Eye
can figure it came from practically
every county in the state.
Sioux City Journal: Everybody
can find some cause for gratitude If
he only hunts hard enough For in
stance, Clifford Thorne may feel
thankful that he didn't run for the
governorship.
Davenport Times: The convention
at Chicago did in fact represent the
republicans of the nation fairly,
honestly and sincerely. The chair
man was always fair and at no time
did he take refuge, as he might have
done, behind technicalities or rules.
1t was his endeavor as evidenced by
his rulings to have everything clear
iy understood and to allow the ma
jority always to have its way.

Colonel Roosevelt has avoided saying
unkind things of Justice Hughes and

Christian Science Monitor: There
are number of men prominent in
national politics who have never sue
ceeded in obtaining an easy footing
in the newspapers. 1t may be their
fault, and it may not be the fault OF
the newspapers, but the fact remains
that, while some public men are al
most invariably treated well by the
press, Others are almost invariably
treated coldly or unjustly. Charles
Warren Fairbanks is one of the lat.
ter Nobody can tell exactly why he
is not popular, as newspaper popu,
larity goes: all that Is really known
on the subject is that he is not; and
yet. strange to say few men In AM
erfcan politics have friends more de.
voted than has Mr.. Fairbanks In the
small newspaper group that has never
been in sympathy with the majority
of the craft in this particular.
An inquiry into the causes OF the
popularity or unpopularity OF public
men would be worthy the attention OF
college professors. In Mr.. Fairbanks
case it cannot be said that he is not
affable, that he is not pleasant IN
manner, that he is not accommodate
ing in the matter of communicating
information, that he is not friendly to
newspapers and newspaper men. The
tall Indianan won the hearts OF the
newspaper men of a large western
city, few years ago by going 1ar
out of his way to help them in carry
ing on a club building enterprise. Yet
1t remains true that he has been, and
is today, treated with less consider
alton in the newspapers than most
men of his prominence and standing
in either party. He is not treated
quite SO unjustly as is Mr.. Bryan.
but he stands, in this respect, a close
second to the Nebraskan.

REPEAL THE PRIMARY Law.

Something is wrong with the primary system
in operation 1t is too elaborate and too expen-
sive. The next legislature should make some
changes. One OF the things that probably should
be done is to go back to the state nominating
convention. company OF delegates selected
under the county primary plan would be repre-
sentative of the people They could get cand
dates into the field who because of lack OF
money lack of forwardness in pressing them
selves onto the people, will not be candidates.
No candidate make himself known to the peo-
pie of the state. II he makes any impression at
ali it is at great expense. If there is contest,
as there is this year for governor, bad feeling
is engendered, which will follow the candidate.
