William Duncan, George Holt and
Nell Shipman are the principals who
enact the drama of girl whose
mother is overpowered by a villain
and gives birth to child in the alb
sence of her husband. The daughter
comes bravely to the front to assume
the responsibility of the motherhood.
To preserve her own honor, the girl,
just before her father returns, writes
him that she is going to the north
woods to meet her husband" The
ruse works well, for young man
drifting down stream on homeward
journey from the wilds beaches his
canoe near the girls forest shelter;
and falls in love with her.
She prevails upon him thru his
great love for her to pose as her
husband, and they go back home to-

performed, but they live in separate

of the burning rendezvous, the hero
takes the girl to his heart as wife
in fact as well as name, for in the
passing ordeals the violation of the

Mrs. Sauer came to Manhattan the

direct her to someone whom she could
offer her services and her property.
She told him that her husband had

BURTON l.. FRENCH
WANTS NAMES PUBLISHED

! When means of raising money for
war were being discussed in the ma
tional house Of representatives under
the head of the revenue bill. Con-
gresham Burton L. French made a
str9ng plea for publicity in taxation
matt%s. His amendment provided
! for the posting of the names of
those from whom income taxes had
been collected, just as the names of
the men who registered are now
posted in the post office, and at the
court house and in the papers.
In my Judgment" said Mr..
French, there should be no choice.
and 1t is our duty to be as loyal and
patriotic with our pocketbooks "a wa
are loyal and patriotic with the lives
fof our men who will fight our coun-
| try's battles''
And then: mot many davs ago
you passed law providing for the
policy of the selective draft. You
provided in that law that all male
persons between the ages of 21 and
80 present themselves for and sub
NIT to registration under the pro-
visions Of the act. The law gave
the president the power to direct the
persons before whom such an
pearance should be made, and
the law further imposed a heavy
penalty of punishment by i'm
prisonment up to one year for anv
person who failed, of his own Volt
ton, to present himself for registra-
Ition.
Gentlemen, we did not leave this
matter to the conscience of the citiss
zens generally Of the country -.
Shall we say that as applied to
the seiectiVe draft the provision is
reasonable, but that as applied to the
Question of raising revenue the same
measure OF publicity is unreason-
able? Gentlemen, I think not"

both stripes and stars to 10, thus in
dicating the intention of the found
ers to have each state represented
upon the flag.
Fifteen stripes and stars continued
to be the official United States flag
until 1918, when the number of
states in the union had increased to
IS, and the three new states demand
ed representation upon the flag. Then
congress passed the third and final
act fixing the number of stars and
stripes on the flag. The bill was
entitled:
IAN act to establish the flag of
the United States.
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.,
That from and after the Fourth day
of July next, the flag of the United
States be 10 original stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the Union
have 20 stars, white in a blue field.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted,
That on the admission of every new
state into the union, one star shall
be added to the union of the flag;
and that such addition shall take eff
feet on the Fourth of July next sue
ceeding such admission"
Approved April 4, 1918.
The adding of the few stripes and
stars and the taking away Of the
few stripes never altered the appear
ance of the flag thread. When
flying from the peak of ships at sea,
or from fagpoles or towers, the
United States flag has been stars and
stripes from the first and Is known
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Arrangement of the Stars
The official flags of the United
States, those used by the army and
navy, have, from the very beginning,
had the stars arranged in parallel
rows. The suggestion that the first
flag was made with circle of stars
can not be authenticated. The earli-
est official flags show the parallel
arrangement. May IS, 1918, James
Monroe, president of the United
States, issued an order that the ar
rangement Of the stars should be in
parallel rows, on the flags used by
the army and navy, and other
branches of the United States govern
ment. President Monroe also decid-
ed that the official flags should be
in the proportion of IA feet to "a;
that the union must be one-third
of the length of the flag and seven
thirteenths of its depth, SO that from
the top to the bottom Of the union
here will be seven Stripes, and six
stripes from the bottom of the union

THE UNITED STATES FLAG
Its History, Legal Prescriptions as to
Form and Size, and Its Eth
Quet on all Occasions

The united States flag was born
June IA, 1877, In Philadelphia, Pa.
Myth, tradition, and legend assiged
the designing and making of the first
United States flag to Besty Ross, a
Quakeress, of Philadelphia. The
same myth, legend, and tradition
states that she made this flag at the
suggestion of a committee of con-
gress, composed of George Washing
ton, Robert Morris and George Ross.
This myth, legend and tradition is
not authenticated by any written or
printed documents of the day, and
only had its birth as public fact
about 1876, when the country was
getting ready to celebrate the CEN
tennial of the Declaration of indie
pendence.
3t Its Birth
The authentic history Of the flag
begins on the hour and day when
the continental congress-
Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen states be 10 stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the union
be 10 stars, white on blue field,
representing a new constellation"
Who presented the resolution or
how 1t was brought to vote in con-
gress is not known. So the flag
stands without father or mother, as
far as recorded history is concerned,
and the beautiful Betsy Ross theory
is alike unsubstantiated
The United States flag was born Of
revolution and baptized in blood and
tears
From the hour it was brought into
existence by the continental congress
to the present day it has been the
symbol of light and liberty, of justice
and equality, of patriotism and prog
ress.
It has floated for 140 years, the
pride and glory of 100000 of peo-
pie in 1777 and ITO, 100000 in 1917.
Oldest National Flag
1t is the oldest national flag in the
world.
The United States flag has never
been anything but stars and stripes.
AS it appeared in the beginning, so
it appears now In 1871 Vermont
was admitted to the Union, and in
1892 Kentucky. In 1894 bill was
introduced in congress to increase

When the flag is passing in parade

times it was the custom to carry the
banner upside down to denote morn

probably grown out of this.

To Build or Not to Build
Dry Eventually, Why Not Now and
Save Money

While the Los Angeles city council
was considering the question of pro-
viding funds for new Jail building,
the city attorney presented some
startling facts.
as it not a fact that the great bulk
of crimes committed in Los Angeles
are directly or indirectly due to
drinking" he said.
The chief of police admitted that
Prohibition of the sale of liquor
would greatly reduce the amount OF
crime. The city attorney also related
to the council how neighboring dry
cities in California had found their
new city jails empty almost the entire
year.
Now the Los Angeles council is
seriously considering whether large
new jail would be useless in the near
future in case the town goes dry. And
the people are wondering whether it
would not be good plan to vote the
town dry and save the money which a
new Jail would cost.

Booze Causes
Labor Troubles
Too Much Beer Drinking Delays
War Work

A department superintendent OF
one of the big tire factories in Akron
Ohio uses 90 men in each shift. They
are making gas masks, miners respir-
ators, and other vital war material.
That department is working only
two shifts day instead of three be-
cause of the scarcity of labor. They
pay off on Friday. On one Saturday
only six of the 90 men in one shift
reported for work.
Ninety per cent of our labor trou-
bles are due to BOOZE" says this su-
perintendcnt If the government
would shut down on the liquor traffic
we could increase our output enor-
mously. There is no lack of labor,
The only trouble is to keep 1t work
ing full time. All over the country

Chicago Saloons
Sell Much Beer
Many Breweries Doing Business in
the City

During the year ending April l,
1917, 3,525,6S3 barrels of beer were
sold in Chicago according to figures
compiled by the board of review for
the purpose of taxation. This shows
an increase of 136,002 barrels, and
according to a saloonkeep-
er's estimate, an increase of 6S,545,000
glasses of beer, or 27 glasses per
capita.
According to the records 62 brew
cries are doing business in Chicago.
While the records based on estimates
supplied by the brewers show an in
crease in the quantity of beer sold, the
records of saloon licenses issued
show a great decrease. On May /
the city issued only 6,653 licenses,
while on May l, 1916, the number was
1000.

Too Much Booze Is Cause Of
First Deaths at Camp Grant
FRIENDS" ARE BLAMED
Many Members Of New National
Army Arrive at Camp Intoxicated
OFFICERS ISSUE WARNING

Booze is quicker than the kaiser.
The first two deaths at Camp Grant
near Rockford were caused by Chi
cago saloons. The first death was
that of Just Anderson, the story OF
which is told elsewhere in this paper.
The second man to die at camp
from alcoholic excess was Peter Elbe,
aged 20 years. He came to Camp
Grant from a Chicago Stock Yards
division, all the members of which ar
rived showing the effects of alcoholic
over-indulgence.
The story of how Chicago saloons
strike our soldiers dead long before
they get within reach of the kaiser's
other forces on land or at sea, is told
by w. c. |. Hallowcll in the Chicago
Examiner:

"Major Paul c. Hunt, assistant di-
vision adjutant, said:
"sPersons who sell or give liquor
to soldiers violate the law. The sol
dier need not be in uniform. Selected
men are in service when called by
their division boards.
"'Wet send-offs violate the law
"'When the third increment starts

Censure for Friends
"'Much liquor distributed to Rock
ford men in Chicago last week un-
doubtedly was drunk in spirit of
good fellowship. But it was unthink-
ing friendship that worked only in
jury"
Both Anderson and Elbe, victims
of Chicago liquor, died mot in the
line of duty" This means that Elbe's
widow, for he was married, will not
be entitled to any financial benefits,
and that neither can be accorded mill
tary honors.
Mobilization of the new national
army has proven again that all meas
ures for the protection of soldiers
against liquor, short of complete ma
tional Prohibition, are inadequate.

bition as war measure stands with

Two Dry Victories
Won on Same Day
Dallas County, Texas, and st. Louis
County, Minnesota, Vote by Large
Majorities to Danish Liquor
Traffic From Borders

Two notable local Prohibition vic
tories were won recently in widely sep
arated sections of the United States.
Dallas county, Texas, including the
city of Dallas, on September 10 voted
in the local option election to Danish
the saloons. Returns show that the
drys polled 10,38l votes and that the
vets cast 8,497 votes, making dry
majority of 1887. The saloons will
be closed October 20. The city of
Dallas gave wet majority, but it
was amply overcome by the dry lead
in the country precincts. In Dallas,
however, % of the IS precincts voted
dry.
The city of Dallas has population
of 100000 and is the largest city in
the country in which liquor has been
voted out by the operation of local op-
ton.
On the same day St. Louis county,
Mimi, swung into the dry column by
a majority of more than 5000 votes
In the local option election. AS re-
suit the county will become dry March
Is, 1918. Duluth gave the drys 70l
majority.
The dry victories in these two
large cities indicate that Prohibition
is making good regardless of the size

In fact, Prohibition is even more nee
essary and beneficial in the larger
centers of population than in the
smaller rural towns. Just as it is nee
essary to close saloons during strikes,
in order to prevent trouble, so in large
cities where people are interdepend-
ent socially and industrially the safe
ty and welfare of all depend upon the
sobriety of all.
The larger city is the more neces-
sary it becomes to insure sobriety by
eliminating the saloons.

Peoria Saloons
Closed at Last
Are Now Obeying the State Sunday
Closing Law

After many delays, Peoria saloons
were closed on Sunday, September 10
for the first time in over 20 years.
Contrary to the predictions of police,
city officials and wet workers, the
Sunday closing of saloons did not in
crease the, work of the police depart
ment There were only Is arrests in
volving drunkenness for the "a hours
from 6 a. m. Sunday to a. m. Mon
day. This total is not as great as the
arrest for smaller offenses on each OF
the two preceding Sundays. The
state law against Sunday selling was
strictly observed by practically all of
the saloons.
"There was far less violation than
] expected" said Police Superintend-
ent Rhoades. Il looked for some sa-
looms to sneak little, but so far as
I could find, there was none of it."
Saloons in the neighboring villages
of Averyvile and Peoria Heights in
augurated Sunday closing on the same
day that Peoria put on the lid. At
Bartonville, near by, the saloons re-
manned open, making this the only
wet spot in the vicinity of Peoria.
Consequently the streets were so over
run with drunks that the Mayor an
nounced that the saloons there would
be closed on Sunday In the future.
