EXPLANATION OF CHURCH
FL AG &c CATiCEhHTO

Editor Daily News: When you pub
lished the cut of the Church flag.
many Of your readers understood it
to mean a flag that took precedence
over Old Glory literally at all times.
thereby becoming of greater import
ance in this country than Old Glory.
Now. in accordance with Webster. con
tirmed by Mr. Curtis. who has seen
eight years service in the navy, it is
recognized in the navy on board ship
when hoisted as a signal that religious
services are being held and this is
the only time such flag is recognized
1t is not a flag in the literal sense
but signal and the word flag" is
simply nautical term expression
and has no significance except on
board a war vessel, such as leagues"
for miles, "fathoms" for depth"
and bells for hours, none of which
signify anything except TO the sea
faring man. However. we think you
are entitled to much credit in clearing
this matter up to that extent and no
harm has been done TO anyone for
surely no decent citizen could take ex-
ceptions to such a signal being dis
played for religious services. either
on battleship or elsewhere.
Respectfully,
j. w. SHIELDS.

Where It Started.

Shortly after the coroner's jury
brought in its verdict, one o. Adams
neighbors slipped into the office of the
Eden Daily News and coruered the
editor. Now for goodness sake don't
put anything about this little affair in
the paper, he said. Cain always has
been a good boy. and this little occur
renee will not amount to much. Any
way he's had his lesson. The family
will patch it up, If you give it
chance. Adam has been a pretty re
spectacle person most Of his life and
my wife says that Eve is sick over it.
Now, for the sake of the family. please
keep it out of the paper "-Emporia

"Tas government" says the state
