FLAGS AND FLOWERS

The other day, i'm Iowa, a little negro
boy was sent to the state reformatory
because he refused to salute the
American flag He would salute no
body or no thing but God" he said, and
his parents approved his stand.
OF course this little negro is only
II years old, and his judgment is un-
formed, and it is too bad to attempt to
break a spirit which may have only
been DETECTED into the wrong channel.
Such an active passion for the Su-
preme Being is is highly commendable.
but apropos of this subject it is true
that in general the person who doesn't
warm up to love of country or love
of home does not warm up with reli-
gious enthusiasm. In other words, if
81 haven't God in your heart, do not
XEect to meet him ON the highways.
"Breathes there a man with soul so
dead" etc.
It's analogous to the man who says,
Il do not believe in making a display
of attention to my wife-I believe in
honoring her in my heart; place her
first in my life, even if | do not place
her chair at the table" Never believe
that the person who neglects all out
ward evidence of courtesy remembers
to water the flower of affection in his
leart.
A lecturer recently said, Not every
one may enjoy painting or sonata.
but everybody can enjoy the beauties
If nature" Beauty is beauty and love
is love. and he who cannot see the
beauty of a masterpiece of art will
never fail to place careless heel up
on an uptumed flower face.

The Open Column


Editor the Missouriam: 1t scarce
ly seems possible that citizens and
property owners in Columbia will
calmly allow a city official to de-
liberately ruin the beauty of the
streets and ns-Columbia's one and
great asset
Outside of the fact that citizens have
long since forfeited their rights as
individuals in matters of poor pave
ments, water and sewer connections,
alley nuisances, lack of garbage dis
posal, defective lighting systems, driv-
ing of cattle on public streets. etc,
we are now faced with the problem of
seeing our beautiful shade trees along
the streets chopped and haggled in an
hour, destroying what it has taken our
fOrefathers half a century to protect
and build up.
Why should tax payers keep up al
leys throughout the city if the gas,
water, sewer and lights are to be run
in the parkings? Surely there is some
indifference and lack of spirit and
loyalty on the part of COlumbians if
they will continue to permit such out
rage.
Do you think new families will be
encouraged to settle within the city
limits or that young men will care to
invest i'm property which is constantly
subject to pavement tax, readjustment
of water and sewer mains to suit each
incoming official, and where the light
superintendent may even trespass on
private properties, cut trees, ruin

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES

The message of acceptance which
Charles Evans Hughes sent to the Re-
publican National Convention upon be-
ing notified of his nomination for
President was the first statement made
by him ON any public question since
1910. During his term as associate
justice of the United States Supreme
Court, he steadfas:ly maintained a
sphinx-like silence toward any at
tempt to obtain his views of any of
the leading topics of the day.
Hughes was born in 1862 and re-
ceived his education from Colgate,
Brown and Columbia universities. He
was first brought to the notice Of the
nation when he was "A years old, when
bitter quarrel between big insurance
men gave him his first opportunity.
Since then he has been twice governor
of New York, counsel for the Stevens
Gas Commission and for the Arm
strong Insurance Commission and as
sociate justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States. He holds hon
orary degrees from several universi-
ties and has been a trustee, member Of
the faculty and special lecturer in the
law schools of others.
Hughes nomination by the Repub-
licans was not unexpected: in fact, the
general sentiment was that he was the
only man to whom the Republicans
could turn for leadership. His views
on national preparedness and his con-
demnation Of President Wilson's Mexi-
can policy coincide with the Republic
can platform. Indeed, all of his re-

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The platform of the Republicans,
adopted at Chicago, is the first state
ment of campaign pledges to be made
by any party, and it is so constructed
as to be in harmony, as far as possi-
BILE, with the Progressive platform.
The opening paragraph of the docu-
ment states that as the Republican
party stood for Union in 1861, so the
arty of today stands for the best in
terests of the nation as a whole. Pro-
lection of American rights, abroad, on
the seas and at home. is strongly en-
phasized.
1t is declared that the party be-
lieves in peace, the peace of Justice
and right" President Wilson's Mexi
can policy is denounced as one filled
with "shifty expedients." The princi-
piles of the Monroe Doctrine are reaf-
rfirmed, as is also the policy of diplo-
matte, commercial and social relations
with the Latin-American countries.
The Democratic party is condemned
for its attempted abandonment" of
tbo Dbilinnipoc An odoouoto nrourap,
of army and navy preparedness is
promised. A tariff revision, along pro-
tective principles, will be adopted.
Big Business" will be strictly regu-
lated, but private enterprise will not
be discouraged by persecution. A sat
isfactory system of rural credits is
promised.
The platform also declares for a
greater American merchant marine, |
but asserts it will be brought about in
other ways than by government own
ership of vessels. Federal regulation |
of intrastate commerce as well as in
terstate, is urged because of the |
conflicts of the Federal laws with the |
cOmpleXity of various state and local |
regulations. A constitutional amend |
ment to this effect is proposed. if no |
other method cam be found. Other |
needs, according to the document, are
a national budget system and protec-
ton of the working classes by new la
Dor legislation such as Federal |
workmen's compensation act.
The principle of suffrage for women
is endorsed, but the party believes that
each state has the right to settle this
question individually.

BRITISH AVIATORS HONORED
FOR GALLANTRY AND SKILL

skill" is the officially worded an
nouncement of honor for Captain ]. E.
Tennant, Scots Guards, who effected a
night bombing of an enemy aviation
shed. He shut off his engine, descend
ed to within thirty feet of the objective
and dropped his bombs. Although the
explosion damaged his machine, he
restarted the engine and escaped only
to request another machine on his re-
turn with which to report the opera
tion.
Lieutenants Thomas Howe and Ed
ward Legget. in the same machine
merited decorations for downing two
enemy machines during a single flight.
After dispatchimg the first they winged
to a higher altitude and engaged the
second. Both enemies were dOwned
by machine gun fire
Several conspicuous feats are attach
ed to the record of Lieutenant Henry
Yates, the last named on the official
honor roll. His outstanding accom-
plishment was the destruction of an
enemy waterworks under terrific fire.
With anti-aircraft guns roaring and
a company of infantry firing on him he
brought his machine down to within
six hundred feet and launched his
bomb. 1t dropped in the center of the
waterwOrks destroying it. He then in
trepidly attacked the infantry with
his machine gun and routed it.

LONDON, June 13.- Six new names
were written today on England's new
est honor list-the aerial gallantry
roll.
AS the result, six medals of the Dis
tmguished Service Order or the Mill
tary Cross have been awarded to mem
bers of the Royal Flying Corps for a
type of gallantry unknown before the
present war.
One of the birdmen newly honored
is Lieutenant Malcolm Henderson OF
the SeafOrth Highlanders, who lost a
leg by shell fire at an altitude of 1000
feet. Despite his injury he succeed
ed i'm maneuvering his machine from
above the enemy'S lines to n place of
safety behind the British lines, thus
saving his aeroplane. his life and the
life of his observer.
Lieutenant Frank Hudson. IS years
old, was severely wounded in the head
while on reconnaissance duty flying
over the German lines. He clung to
consciousness until he had pilOted his
aeroplane to place of safety and then
tainted. On previous occasions he
had brought down two enemy ma
chimes.

week, and the hundred which he had
borrowed originally had swollen to
three hundred.
He had not dared let Dolly know,
and though she had looked surprised
at the diminishing returns each pay
day, Imbrie had invented a heap OF
excuses. However, the crisis was al
most at hand.
Then, a few days before, little,
dark-haired man, who looked like q
cross between a Chinaman and a
Portuguese, had accosted him as they

He seemed to know Imbrie very well
and had drawn him aside and made a
proposition which made the pulses
throb in Imbrie's cheeks.
1T will be nothing dishonorable,"
he said. 1T is only what everybody
does. Think, my friend, is it reason
able that your government should in
trust it's secrets to man whom II
pays a beggarly $40 month";"
But l don't know anything about

tlemen who trust you" the stranger
continued. And II you prove false
which is impossible-we shall know
how to punish you. Also, we shall
know IL 1t is the genuine treaty you
bring u.s."
Before Inbrie had quite understood
the gist Of the proposition the little
man was gone. leaving him to his
soliloquies. his bribe and Dolly's anx-
ious face.
II was in the sleepy part OF the day
the following afternoon that the high
official entered and looked about the
room.
Here, Mr. Imbrie," he said, laying
down a closely typewriter paper be
fore him. Copy this, win you? It's
rather confidential and we must have
some more copies. Make a couple of
carbons and don't let anyone see.

not one of the smiling ones. She
faced Deane with grave eyes bearing
an expression he did not at all fancy.
He tried to laugh 1t of, but felt that
he had made a decidedly bad impress
sion.
He with Boyd Lester comprised the
duo of rivals for the hand Of Grace.
So far his brilliant. aggressive ways
had impressed her friends with the be-
lief that eventually Grace would favor
this sutton. Lester was more quiet.
Both young men we're candidates for
the vacant circuit judgeship OF the
county. It was pretty well understood
that Judge Waldron would favor the
one who succeeded in winning the
election.
The cheap, heartless trick which
Deane Wanted somehow made a Sc
rious impression on the mind Of
Grace. She noted that 1t was shared
by Lester, although the latter made
no comment, but his face was plying
as the unfortunate young man from
the creek settlement went on his un-
steady way, turned into a wooded lot
just beyond the waldron grounds, and
for the time being at least gave up
the task of finding his way home by
lying down under a bush and forget
ting life and its activities in sodden
slumber.
Grace was preoccupied all the after
noon. She avoided Deane and he no
ticed it. Hers was a tender heart.
Memory, too, had been busy. She re-
called a cousin who had fallen vic
tim to the lure of the wine cup at
the acme of ambition, always a grief
with the devoted relatives who had
seen his promised life cut short.
Il wish you would remain little
after the others leave" she said to
Lester. and he was in the seventh
heaven of delight at the words. Then
when the others had departed she
came to the retired garden seat where
he unobtrusively awaited her. She

Imbrie passed his hand over his
damp forehead and stared at the pa
per in his hand. He could not believe
either his eyes or the good fortune
which had placed it there.
A subordinate clerk in the war of.
fee at Washington, Imbrie had faced
life on a salary of s25 weekly. This
was his sole means OF support for
himself and Dolly, his pretty young
wife, as well as Dolly's mother, who
lived with them.
He had been shifted into a new de-
partment recently-that in touch with
the secretary of states office. OF
course Imbrie never saw the great
man himself. or anyone but an occa-
siona permanent under-secretary.
For weeks Imbrie had been a prey
to increasing despair. There had been
Dolly's long illness, after their little
son had been born and died a few
hours later Like every man with a
government position, Imbrie had found
it not at all difficult to negotiate a
loan with a money lender at an exor-
bitant interest. He had paid OFF the
loan by increasing it; then, rendered
desperate, he had gone to another
money lender, and then another. He
had no notion that all three were
watching him and dividing the money
that came to them every pay day,
while the capital actually increased in

1t was pretty we'll understood in
Fairfield that Grace waldron had two
