Flag Etiquette

Prepared by the National Committee OF Patri-
otto Societies, Washington, D. c.
When the colors are passing, the spectator,
if a man. should halt If walking, arise if sitting
and uncover. holding the headress opposite the
left shoulder with the right hand; if bare
headed, he should salute with the right hand.
woman should stand at attention the Flag
When the Flag is waving from stationary
hand.
In decorating, the Flag should never be fes-
TONED or draped Always hung flat. If hung
with stripes horizontal, Union should be in up
per left corner. If hung perpendicular, Union
should be in upper right corner.
When the Flag is carried in parade, or when
crossed with other flags, the Stars and Stripes
should always be at the right.
The law specifically forbids the use of and
representation of the Flag in any manner or in
any connection with merchandise for sale.
The Flag should be raised at sunrise and
lowered at sunset. 1t should not be displayed
on stormy days or, except when under fire of
the enemy, left out over night. Although there
is no authoritative ruling which compels civil
ians to lower the Flag at shutdown, good taste
should impel them to follow the traditions of the
Army and Navy in this shutdown ceremonial.
Primarily the Flag is raised to be seen, and Sec
treasured, and so tradition holds it shall not be
menaced by the darkness. To leave the Flag
out at night, unattended, is proof Of shiftless-
ness, at least carelesSness.
On Memorial Day, the Flag should be dis
played at half-mast from sunrise until noon
and at the peak from noon until sunset 1t
touch the ground.
When THE Star spangled Banner" is played
IN SILENCE, until it is finished
Applause at the conclusion OF THE Star Span
gled Banner is out of place.
Worn out, and useless flags should be de-
stroyed by burning. 81
A Flag torn or, frayed by the wind and
weather should never again be hoisted until
both the Army and Navy and should be fol-
lowed by all civilians. ,.-- 49,.

THE TOBACCO RATION.

The fact that General Pershing has made
tobacco a part of the soldiers rations, re-
moves any qualms The Forum may have
had about its tobacco fund now discon-
tinued as no longer necessary.
Some very worthy people criticized the
fund as providing temptation to the SOL
diers. 1t is not our purpose to quarrel with
this view now, but The Forum is far from
being ashamed Of the fund and the ends it
served. If it made the lot Of a few thou
sand soldiers shivering in the wet trenches
a little easier, we are glad Of it. If it help
ed soothe the nerves Of men preparing to
go over the top, the generous men and
women who contributed to it, will have
their reward.
But now Uncle Sam will deal out two
ifths of an ounce Of plug cut tobacco daily,
or four cigarettes. There are optional ra-
tons for men who do not smoke, but we
will hazard the guess that few Of the men
will fail to call for their four 'pills"
Undoubtedly Utopia, if it had an army
at all, would have an army of men who
never touched liquor or tobacco in any
form, and who spoke softly to Missouri
mules But Uncle Sam has to deal with
human nature as it is, and he has decided
that wartime is not the time to attempt to
change the habits of several million adult
men by forcibly depriving them of the sup
plies to indulge at least the smoking habit
in strict moderation.

company. The case has been appealed,
and Mr.. steen is now and always has been
ready to pay the interest to the legal owner
when the legal owner is known. But he
does not propose to pay it second time
out Of his own pocket, as he might have
to do If he made a mistake
Moreover, If Mr.. steen were guilty Of
anything like dishonesty, why did not the
leagues attorney general, William LANCER,
prosecute him9 Mr.. LANCER was familiar
with all the facts in the case through the
correspondence with his Office.
The case is exactly that Of man who
finds pocketbook on the street, goes to a
newspaper Office and advertises for the
owner and because he makes the owner
prove his claim is accused Of theft.

Other Mems Views

The st. Cloud Times: Some Of you mem
bers Of the Nonpartisan league, having paid a
cash fee. It is the first time in history that
money was asked for such a membership
Why did you join? Is it notNtrue none but
farmers are eligible, yet none Of the leaders the
officers or solicitors are farmers Why is this?
Is it for pure love of the farmers or Of the SIS?
They ask you to vote for candidates they Sc
lect, and they promise laws that cannot be en-

No greater deception and fraud was ever per-
petrated upon people than is here proposed.
In North Dakota this Nonpartisan league has
can buy his goods for ten years. If he will pay
800 for this right. They are establishing banks
and starting newspapers as to control mer-
chants and banking, and have newspapers to
defend them and their Socalistic schemes
In this way they would array class against
class. They would destroy towns and villages
by killing the business therein.
All of this is so absolutely against the best
interests of the farmer that 1t is a great wonder
that they be so deceived, especially is this
true when it is fact that all men of intellt-
gence and good Judgment tell the farmers that
they are being grossly fooled Bishops, priests,
ministers, business men, manufacturers, judges,
lawyers doctors. everybody, outside Of the
$16 are telling the farmer he is paying out his
money for gold brick"
How our honest farmers will be so easily and
outrageously fooled by disoyalists, is a great
wonder to the majority of citizens.
Townley and a half dozen of his crowd have
been indicted and some of them found guilty Of
disloyalty and sentenced to prison.
SURELY HONEST FARMERS SHOULD
NOT FOLLOW SUCH LEADERS!

THE ST. LOUIS PLATFORM.

cialist party has been referred to so fire.
quently during the present campaign in
both Minnesota and North Dakota, that
The Forum again presents it for the en-
ightenment Of those who may not have
seen it published The section referring
to the war, follows:
We brand the declaration of war by our
government as a crime against the people
of the United States against the nations
of the world.
In all modern history there has been no
war more untustifiable than ths war in
which about to engage.
No greater dishonor has ever been forced
upon people than that which the capitalist
class is forcing upon this nation against it's
will
We pledge ourselves: To continuous. &C
tive and public opposition to the through
demonstrations, mass petitions and all other
means within our power; TO uny1elding OPP
position to all proposed legislation for mill
tary or industrial CONSUMPTION, and to con-
tinuous efforts to repeal such laws; to OPP
posing with all our strength any attempt
TO raise money for payment Of war expenses
by taxing the necessaries OF life or issuing
bonds which will put the burden on future
generations.
Remember that the platform was adopt
ed after America entered the war, and has
not been repudiated by the party, although
many loyal Socialists have left the party
after vain attempts to force a reconsidera-
ton.
Remember that Mayor Van Lear of
Minneapolis has refused to repudiate that
platform, and has repeatedly stated it is
mot local issue"
Remember that Van Lear and Lindbergh
are campaigning together and that Non
partisan league funds are being used to
further the Van Lear campaign.
Remember that the same man who pick
ed Lindbergh, picked Frazier.
Remember that that man is himself on
record as a Socialist

NOR FOR CHILDREN ONLY.

Those who read Mr.. HOLSTERS article
in The Forum Saturday evening will have
q better appreciation of the magnitude Of
the War Savings Stamp drive, which will
be on next week.
Many have viewed it more or less as a
minor thrift enterprise, chiefly intended to
catch the pennies Of children.
They will now rub their eyes and
awaken to the fact that it is bigger affair
than either of the Liberty Loan drives.
North Dakota is on a straight per capita
basis in its quota, for the first time.
Wealth and bank deposits are not consid-
cred in this campaign. The quota is $40
per capita, for men, women and children.
It is tremendous undertaking. North
/ Dakota, in common with every other state
with the possible exception of Nebraska,
F has fallen down miserably, chiefly because
the magnitude Of the War Savings Stamp
campaign has not been impressed upon us.
But we are going to hear lot about the
securities during the next ten days. They
are better investment than even the
Liberty bonds, drawing slightly more in
terest, having the same backing, and be-
ing more readily convertible into money.
Here is North Dakota's chance to show
what she can do. The quota in each state
is the same, $40 per capita, Where is
North Dakota going to stand on the list Of
states, after June %?

THE sTEEN CHARGES. ("

The desperation of the Nonpartisan
league heads in the present campaign in
North Dakota, is well evidenced by the
ayidity with which they have seized upon
the "charges" against John Steen in the
insurance money interest case:
They do not expect these "charges'' to
carry any weight whatever with intelligent
people who can be reached with a denial
or an explanation of the case. The
charges are intended for the ears of the
farmer in the remote district who reads
nothing but league literature, but who is
beginning to hear talk from the outside
world these days and who is "slipping''.
! The charges" are meant to stifen his
prejudices and make him Stick -
The charges = are so grossly unfair and
unjust that it seems like an insult to Mr..
Steen to dignity them with denial or an
explanation. The $4,000 fund was depos-
tied with the state by an insurance COM
pany as guaranty. The sum of approx
inately $1,000 interest accumulated, and
when the company was about to withdraw
1t, asked for the return Of the deposit. Mr..
steen was in doubt as to whether the in
terest belonged to the state or, the com
pany. H he had wanted to keep it himself,
H. need never have raised the issue, but he
asked for an opinion from the attorney
general, and was told the interest did not
belong to the state. He insisted on the
bringing of astest case. In this test case,
he, of course, set up the allegation that
the money did not belong to the state, and
did not belong to the company, otherwise
there could have been no case. Tt was then
up to the court to decide, and the lower
caart decided the money belonged To the
