FATTENlNG ON PATRIOTISM
Assistant Secretary of Navy Scores
Flag MANUFACTURING.

Washington, May 3.-Assistant Sec
rotary Newton of the treasury issued
a statement yesterday characterizing
the recent increases in the price OF
American flags as outrageous and as
sorting that he would make an effort
to do something about it, st is dis
tressing TO note how a few oppor-
tunists and sagacious pigs are seeking
to fatten on the patriotism of the
country" Mr.. Newton said. Within
q very short period after the declara,
ton of war the controlling influences
among the flag makers of this country
doubled the price on flags In some
instances the price was increased 10
per cent. Naturally when this country
vent to war for the maintenance of
human liberty and civilze lion every
patriotic citizen in the country desired
to show where he stood by the display
Of his country's emblem, but he soon
discovered that 100 per cent penalty
had been imposed upon his patriotism
Il don't know what can be done
about it, but | am going to make an
effort. | believe at this time il is the
duty of every American citizen When
he discovers the fingers of the pick
pocket or the snout of the pig enter
ing the pocket OF the patriotic public
70 use every legitimate means to ex-
pose said pig or pickpocket without
hesitation or timidity"
