FLAG DAY.

President Wilson has issued a proc,
lamation calling upon the people of
the United States to celebrate Flag
Day, June IA. with patriotic exercises.
1t is a most timely suggestion. There
ought to be such a nationwide dem.
onstration of patriotism and of loyalty
to the Stars and Stripes on this ami
versary of the adoption of "Old Glory
as the emblem of the Union that such
as there be among us whose American.
ism is dimmed by Old World cleavages
and prejudices will be impressed. Let
Flag Day show that America, first,
last and always. claims our allegiance
and our affections; that our national
spirit is not dead, and that enemies
within as we'll as without our borders
are powerless to corrupt the ideals of
justice and liberty which are the
foundation stones of the republic.

Only by the merest chance was a
probable fatal accident averted on the

when the motor, which was returning
from Reno, where It had taken large
delegation of Carson people to attend
the Chautauqua exercises, crashed In.
to tie that had been placed across
the track on the fill just the other side
OF Huffakers. The obstruction was
not noticed by the engineer until he
was nearly on to It, and though he
applied the brakes with all force the
tie was struck, one end breaking and
the other being carried around and
under the trucks, bringing the car to
a halt.
While the passengers received quite
a jolt when the motor struck the tie
no harm resulted, but 1t was through
no fault Of the miscreant who placed
the obstruction there. What the per.
sons object was In attempting to
wreck the motor or who he was has
not yet been determined, but If appre.
