State Suffrage News

At the State Conventions last week the Republicans opposed Suf- frage, while the Democrats met the issue and squarely endorsed it. The plans for ratification will still be per sisted in by the suffragists for it is now known that the amendment lacked but one vote to end the long struggle. The Connecticut orators should have the grace to cut out the woman 's-work-in-the-war, stuff, since democracy is still at half mast, thus making the Star Spangled Banner wobble on the high notes of the land of the free The vote on the amend ment will come upagain in the Sen ate in August.
 The late Hon. E. J. Hills daughter, Miss Elsie Hill was applauded, when she closed her scathing denunciation of the republican party, after the morning session. This speech was given at street meeting and the re- publican delegates were called cow ards, dodgers, foes to women, to liberty, and to the cause of the allies.

five of the Engnsn corors anu Druugnr them proudly to the fort. These Brit ish flags, according to his diary, were run up on the fort flagpole, but the impromptu American banner fioated from the highest point of the pole.
 About 30 years ago a Mir. Haven read a paper before the New Jersey State Historical society, and in 1t he was reported as having read:
 "From additional reports in circula- ton here, the first time that our na- tional flag was used after the enact ment concerning it by congress was by Gen. George Washington, in the hurried and critical stand made by him on the banks of the Assanpink, when he repulsed Cornwallis, January 2, 1777. As this conflict was the turn ing point, in connection with what sue ceeded at Princeton, of the struggle for independence, does not this sig nal baptism of the Stars and Stripes, with the hope and confidence regener- ated by it, seem providentialf" \ This sounds good and reads equally well-but the cold, stubborn facts de- clare 1t absolutely wrong. The repell- ing of the British was, as he states, January 2, 1777; but our flag was not created or adopted by the continental congress until June fl. 1777, five months later.
 The American flag has undergone a number of slight changes, but in prin- ciple 1t has ever remained as the fore- fathers heraldically built it on June 14, 1777.

First Fight
 Under Stars
 and Stripes
By BERNARD J. cIGRAND.

Authority on American Heraldry.) Y F THE question were asked, What
 is the greatest sentence in our na- N tional existence? the reply would
 likely be the one taken from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal" That was the essence of an ideal or a principle, but to give that statement living truth the following words stand out as the power of the nation:
 Saturday, June fl, 1777. Page 243. Records of the day:
 "Resolved-That the Flag of the united states be 13 stripes alternate red and white, that the Union be IS stars white in a blue field represent ing a new constellation"
 Famous Committee In Charge.
 The committee having the flag prob- lem in charge consisted of George Washington, Robert Morris and George Ross.
 It is evident that the resolution, as originally penned by Charles Thom- son, secretary of the continental. con- gross, was not adopted, but that cor rections were made. I have been un- able to decipher just what the original reading matter was. Curiously, Sec retary Thomson did not cross a single one of the IT "t's" which occur in the sentence. The "is" are all dotted, and a single comma Is the extent of the punctuation of this great word picture-our flag. Strangely enough, he did not have the modern idea well in hand when he wrote the words United States, without capitalizing the name, while Flag and Union are made important items in the line.
 The old German long "s" is in evi. dence. and the numerals B are figures

S tZe that when their country'S
 flag is referred to as "old Glory" the adjective is nTA merely an expression of reverence anS affection, but Is historically justified. Strange as 1t may seem, considering the comparative youth of the United States 'as nation, the flag of the United States is the oldest truly na- tional ensign in existence.
 While the name of the British "Union Jack" dates from the union of England and Scotland, in 170S, its de- sign was changed in 1901, when the legislative union of Ireland with Great Britain was recorded, by adding the red cross of St. Patrick to the earlier combination of the crosses of St George and St. Andrew. The design of the American flag has never been off, cially changed since its first adoption on June IA, 1777.
 The continental congress on that day resolved that the national ensign should be one of 13 stripes, red and white alternately, with ''unlon" of blue, in which should be displayed 18 oldl AhSSN ANiNAANhf VI N0uASSf Io the 13 colonies which had united in declaring their independence of Brit ish rule. No provision was then made for the recognition of future states in the flag. Probably they were not thought of.
 After the admission of Vermont and Kentucky flags appeared with 15 stars and stripes. They do not seem to have had any legislative sanction, though they are said to have been carried by some regiments in the War of 1872. As more states were admit ted 1t was seen that 1t would not do to keep on increasing the stripes, and in ISIS congress made a definite rule. fixing the stripes at 13, with a star for each state.
 The French tricolor Is q dozen years younger than "old Glory" What are usually sold as the German, Russian. Italian and Spanish flags are devices of the nineteenth century, created as mercantile" flags or in an effort to find something that might be more popular" than the "royaI standard"l and also less complicated and expen-l sive. In fact, outside of the United States, France and Britain, the recog-, milton of flags of nationality as some thing distinct from attachment to a. "royal house" may be said to have been thought of the last century.
 In this connection it may be noted that the United States also has the oldest national military school of con- tinuous existence. The French mill- tary schools, the first that were "na- tional" in any real sense. were sus- pended at times during the great revo-. lution. But since its opening in 1902 West Point has seen no sun rise or set without the customary morning and evening salute to "Old Glory.".

 removal of the registrart from h's place of residence and such removal, would in the judgment of the board, cause unusual hardship to the regis trant or his family; or when such change of employment would neces- sitate the night employment of wom- en under circumstances deemed by the Boards unsuitable for such em- ployment of women, boards are auth orized to consider any or all of such circumstances as reasonable excuse for non-productive employment.
 After July 1 any registrant re- ported or observed to be an idler or to be engaged in one of he non-pro- ductive employments previously named, will be notified by the local board that he will be given hearing on his case. The board will set day and hour when the registrant may appear and present his defense with affidavit or otherwise. The hearing date is limited to a period of not less than three and not more than seven days after the date of the notice It matters not whether the local board is the one having original ju- risdiction of his registration and questionnaire, or the local board having jurisdiction over the terri torial area in which he may be found.
 Two different forms of serving the notice on the registrants are re- quired inasmuch as some registrants will be notified by the local board of original jurisdiction and in other cases by the local board having juris- diction in his area but not original jurisdiction over him.
 In the case of registrants found within the area under the jurisdic- tion of a local board issuing the notice but not having original juris- diction of him, the notice in written or printed form must be served per- sonally on the registrant by a person designated by the local board.
 A local board of origin will have the authority to issue notice and in vestigate the case of any of it's reg istrants, whether they be found with. in or without it's territorial jurisdic. tion.
 Investigation of the circumstances of the case will be made by the loca board issuing the notice, whether il be the local board of origin or not The registrant will be given reason. able opportunity to submit such evi dence. as he may desire to submit.
 The local board of original juris diction will not be bound by the find ings or the recommendation of tht investigating local board.

 Here is a Canaan citizen who tes- tifed years ago that Doan's Kidney Pills relieved weak kidneys and now states the result was permanent. Can any sufferer from kidney ills ask better proof? You can investigate. The case is right at home.
