OWN A FLAG!-The slanting rays
of the sun bathed the parade ground
in gold. From the tall white staff
the stars and stripes fiuttered slowly
down. The bugle sounded the long,
sweet strain of retreat"
All over the expanse OF greensward
in front Of the long barracks, over
yonder by the huge guns figures in
khaki stiffened to attention and eyes
turned upward to the flag. At last
it came to earth to be gathered rev.
eTently into the arms Of the color
guard. The bUgle ceased; one hun
dred hands were raised to the visOrs
Of one hundred caps. Then the bust
ness of the big fort went on.
The fighting men had paid their
daily tribute to their flag.
The moment was almost religious.
To those men the flag meant every
thing. 1t was the symbol of utter de-
vOtion to country. The ceremony
called to their minds every day in the
year the duty they owed the nation.
What does the flag mean to you?
You are not a soldier. You cannot
see it sink from the staff every even
ing. You cannot hear the haunting
notes OF the bugle with every setting
of the sun. But you can show it just
as much reverence as the men whose
sole business it is to defend its power
and its honor.
You can have your own FLAG. You

tie silken thing, but real OLD
GLORY made of good, stout bunting
that will wave defiance to the winds.
Be a real American.
OWN A FLAG!
THE HISTORY OF OLD GLORY.
old Glory, as we know it, is the re-
suit of many changes. In the early
days of the revolution there were
almost as many standards as there
were commanders. Every man who
raised a regiment Of colonists seems
to have designed a flag of his own
fancy.
Most of these ancestors of the
stars and stripes" were copied upon
the arms of the colony from which
the revolutionary soldiers came. A
month after the battle of Bunker Hill
Gen. Putnam displayed a red flag
with the cOat-Of-arms of Connect
cut.
Many of the revolutionary priva-
teeTs adopted a flag bearing mailed
fist grasping 13 arrows. At Cam
bridge, 4776, Washington flew flag
with the Is red and white stripes,
such as the flag bears today, but with
a reproduction of the British union
jack in the place now occupied by
the blue field and stars.
The most famous of all the CONT
mental flags, however, was the rat
tIesnake banner with the motto:
Don't tread on mew This was car
ried in many parts Of the country.
Congress adopted a resolution
June 4, 1777, stating: THAT the flag
of the Is United States be 10 stripes,
alternate red and white; that the
union be 13 stars, white in a blue
field, representing the new cOnsteUa-
ton" The design may have la

TANNER AS MARSHAL

Residents of Skagway have entered 9 pro- test against the appointment of J. M. Tanner as United States Marshal to succeed Mir. Bishop, resigned. Our opinion is that Tanner will make an excellent official. Albeit this opinion may be changed without notice and the right to do so is hereby reserved. As 9 senator, we candidly admit that we had no faith in his ability to fill the bill; hence our opposition to his election last fall. But as Marshal of this division we believe him to be the best democratic timber in the field for the position If he would only follow Attor- ney General Gregorys admonition to aliens in every respect, that is to say; "Obey the law keep your mouth shut" he would be alright As to obeying the law We can rest assured of that but ;fs to keep his mouth shut we are not so sure; and that is where the trouble comes from presumably. And unless a law is passed prohib- iting him from opening his mouth; there is no telling where he'll land

WHAT TO EXPECT

II h | true old saying that trouble ia easy 10 find It is always at our elbows, insinuat- ing or in some manner tempting.
 An individual who can always avoid contro- versy with his neighbor is to be envied and must have Q sense of humor we'll developed and the restraint that goes with it. To be quarrelsome is to be ignorant The nation that is strong and worthy must overlook many acts, overt and oth- erwise in a quarresome neighbor. This has been done by our President. He has shown no disposition to be quarrelsome and he has over- looked many acts that less peaceful man would have taken up. He fought hard to keep us out of war and if we fight as hard to get out of it. the result needn't be feared, provided we all join and do our bit.

UP AGAINST IT.

The auto men of Ketchikan are up against it. It is said that the council is about to regu- late their speed; the manner to turn corner, the issuing of licenses and what not. They shall not do this; they shall not do that. They shall GO nothing that the pedestrians object to. They are up against it good and hard.
 On this question it may not be out of place to mention that while the council is busy regu- ating the autos, why not regulate Che pedesIi ans. Why not pass an ordinance specifically mentioning the fact that sidewalks are built for pedestrians and that they should avail themselves of the privilege and net use the whole street like some do. If we want to be fair we must admit that none of us ever think of using the sidewalks exclusively. We go about our business walking three or four abreast in the middle of the streets The use of horses is fast disappearing giving way to autos. The noise of an approaching horse gave us warning and we would get out of his way. With autos it is different This being so, we should keep on the sidewalks and give them tho ri~ht of way which really belongs to them. And right here we may ask: How long would an automan last if he was to use the side walks instead of the street?
