"OLD GLORY"-LONGN NAY
THE DEAR OLD FLAG WAVE

There's a whole lot of free advice
going the rounds about the way to
hang the flag. Nearly all who hand
out this information give some indis-
putable authority for it. Now if an
amiable person should attempt to fol-
low these alleged authorities, he
would become both handy legged and
cross eyed. One says invariably the
stars should be at the upper left hand
corner; another says the stars should
be held to the north or to the east |;
if you follow the first advice it is
and see. Another says the flag by
all means should never be left out in
the dark or the rain. Did the maker
Of this advice ever hear a song call
ed, "The Star Spangled Banner? :"
The very first line would indicate that
at Fort Sumpter the dear old Glory
waved all night in the battle mad
center.
And does any one suppose that the
thousands and thousands of flags now
floating to the breeze in this broad
land. are to be taken in each night
and put back again? No sir. We
want to see her starry folds at twi-
h6hs idSt BlcAHiHuk. we want 10
see them in the dawn's early light :?
We want to see them in the moon
light and the starlight and the cleo
trio light. While our country is in
trouble we want to know old glory
floats above our troubled dreams. The
sick man on his cot and the watcher
by his side want to gaze out of the
window through the long night and
see that softly ripping flag, sweet
emblem of hope, fair promise of pro-
lection
Nearly every one goes by prece-
dent or custom or convention, each
a degree of slavery. A few grains
of common sense are worth volume
of directions how to act. A little
plain horse sense will beat budget

fore, with malice toward none we are
going to raise our flag any old way
we want to, keep it out of the dust,

and the raindrops. When it becomes
faded and tattered we will love it un-

SEATTLE, March 2S.--Mayor
Hiram c. Gill, Chief of Police
Charles L. Rockingham and four
city detectives completed their
defense in the federal booze graft
conspiracy trial this morning.
Warm exchanges between Gill
and Assistant Attorney General

Gill charged the government
had failed to prosecute the
Jesse Moore-Hunt Co., of San

He declared the company could
have been fined 100000 If
they had been prosecuted and con-

Long legs cross and bald head
wagging accent, Gill fought for

mayor, Chief of Police Decking

IS RULED
ILLEGAL!

Tacoma's public market, on the
curb of Market street between
18th and 18th streets received its
death blow Wednesday when City
Attorney Harmon notified the city
council that 1t had no right to per-
NIT hucksters to occupy stalls on
the market curbing.
Following the ruling Of the city
attorney, Mayor Fawcett an
nounced that the market stalls
would be removed as soon as some
citizen or property owner started
legal action to force vacation.
Abolition of the city's public
market, which has been in sue
cessful operation for nine years, Is
caused by recent demand of r.
E. Anderson & Co., owners of a
private market at / 18th and Mar
ket streets, that the public stalls
on the curb fefore their property
be vacated. The company threat
ened suit.
The demand was referred to At
torney Harmon, and today's opin-
ion resulted.
1T means the end Of the city's
public Market" said Mayor Faw-
cett.
but I do not intend to remove
the stalls until someone takes the
matter to court. The public mar
ket has done great deal of
good by reducing the cost of
greenstuffs. Now that a retail
trade has been established on
Market street through the city's
efforts, the owners of private mar
kets up there are trying to force
the city's stalls out of business.
II wish the city had a suitable
location where it could establish a
real public market building"
