FLAG DAY PROCLAIMED.

Governor Withycombe has issued
the following proclamation setting
Wednesday. June 14th, as Flag Day:
Whereas, June 18th, 1916. is the
13sth anniversary Of the adoption Of
the Stars and Stripes; and
Whereas, Organizations of pa
triotic nature in Oregon are desirous
that special emphasis be placed upon
this day and its meaning; and
Whereas, This generation has seen
no time when loyalty and patriotism
are more required than now. or when
the encouragement of these vital ma
tional virtues is more appropriate;
Now, thersfore, / do hereby pro-
claim Wednesday, June 14th, as
Flag Day throughout the State Of
Oregon, and / earnestly urge that the
day be devoted to exercises indicative
OF and conducive to loyalty to the
Flag; that in homes. schools.

the occasion be fittingly observed;
that the Flag be displayed from pub
lie buildings, schools, homes, and
places Of business, and that the en-
tire commonwealth, at this critical
period Of international unrest, unite
in honoring the Flag of the United
States Of America and in pledging
renewed and vigorous loyalty to It
and the principles Of liberty It rep
resents.

THE SPORT OF VOTING.

The people OF the state OF Oregon
like to vote. Sometimes they vote
without knowing why. Some thous-
ands of them did that very thing at
the late primary election when they
placed an TX" at the name OF wi
iism Grant webster Of Illinois," All
the people Of Oregon knew Of VIII
liam Grant WEBSTER vas that he had
: bee and would like to be vice
president OF the United States. Or,
ct least. he wanted Oregon to cast
IL primary vote for him for vice.
president ana thus give him chance
70 butt into the big show At Chicago.
M. Webster has an appealing name.
Grant and Webster each command
many q page In the history Of this
land Of ours. ana the story Of the
ration is filed with the deeds Of its
Williams. So the people OF Oregon
found it easy to vote for William
Grant Webster. though they did not
know his race. color or previous con-
dition Of servitude. Probably the
delegates from Oregon will feel in
duty bound to give at least one vote
% william Grant Webster. That is
one vote more than the man is en-
titled to from what can be learned Of
his record. which consists chiefly OF
: vainslorious desire to hold some
public once. The moral Is that the
voters should give more thought to
the makeup OF the ticket and either
let the delegates use their unhamper-
ed judgment or direct their voting
with more intelligence than was ex-
hibited In this instance. William
Grant webster has no claim upon the
state Of Oregon. but Oregon will now
have to 60 into q history-making
political convention and announce its
choice for william Grant Webster.
