Fly the Flag.

Fly the flag today--the glorious Stars and
Stripes-your flag and my Aag-the flag Of
today, tomorrow and all tine-to which the day
is dedicated.
One year ago today that matches flag Of
freedom had been set up in the war-desolated
districts of France where its advent was hailed
as the harbinger of victory over the civilization
destroying Hun. The faith of mankind in that
flag was not misplaced as it turned out All
along the line it inspired the boys in khaki to
deeds of daring that made their onslaughts
irresistible, and whenever the Stars and Stripes
started forward the Hun hordes began to re-
treat. Today our wonderful flag is planted over
what was German soil, where American troops
form part of the army of occupation, the en-
blem of the democracy for which the war was
fought and won. ....
If the American flag means so much in far
away lands, what must it mean here at home,
where it typifes all the blessings Of free in
situations so dearly achieved by the founders
of the republic and so strenuously maintained
against ali enemies by those who came later?
Should it not spur us, on to defend it against
every attack that would make it mean less or
something different hereafter?

'NFacts for Swine Grower

Facts Tor Swine Growers
Chicago, June ITO the Editor
of The Bee: Between the dates
January 1, 1916, and January 1,
1919, there have been some rather
significant changes in pork produc-
ton and marketing in various sec
tions as well as in the whole of the
United States. During this period
we have had an increase of almost
Is per cent in the total number OF
swine on farms. In spite OF that
general increase in numbers, accord
ing to government estimates, IL
states, Nebraska among them, have
had decreases in the swine popula-
ton for one reason or another.
In point Of numbers, Iowa has had
a greater increase than any other
state, having added nearly 100000
head to its already tremendous
lead, Illinois, standing second In
numbers, stands second in point OF
total increase during the last three
years with an added 100000, and
Minnesota ranks third IN increase
with slightly over 100000 head
more than January J., 1915. Six
other states each show an increase OF
over 100000 head during a corre-
spending period.
The combined receipts at the IL
leading markets. during 1913 were
larger than during any preceding
year hence it seems that no tardi.
ness in marketing has affected the
numbers Of hogs on farms the first
of the present year However, mar
keting was nearly 20 per cent less
in 1917 than in 1918, due partially
to the soft corn condition prevailing
In the fall Of 1917, and the govern
ment's call for heavier hogs which
somewhat retarded the marketing
in the fall Of 1917 and increased the
receipts in the early months of 1918.
During the last season the receipts
at the II principal markets was
nearly 32,000,800 head, or almost
one half Of the number estimated
on farms the first of the year, The
receipts at markets in 1915 were
larger than any previous year and
almost equaled those of 1918.
OF marked importance In consid-
ering the various factors In market
ing Is the tendency to put hogs on
markets at heavier weights. Dur
ing 1915, the average weight OF hogs
in Chicago was 210 pounds, in 1917,
213 pounds, and in 1918, 254 pounds
or an increase Of over 10 per cent
in weight as compared with 1915,
in which year the hogs at this one
market went to the shambles at the
lightest yearly average weights on
record. -
Prices have shown greater cor
responding change than either num-
Der or weight. In 1915 the average
price at Chicago for all grades was
$3.50, in 1917. $3.50 and in 1915,
$17.45. These prices seem very
high as compared with the lowest
yearly average on record. $3.50 in
1895; or the prevailing average OF
s5.15 in 1904, which is lower than
any other since that date.
It is estimated that there were, on
farms, 75,5S7,000 hogs in the United
States, January 1, 1919. -@

Modesty of 4 Hero,

The modesty of Sergeant Alvin York of Ten
nessee is as refreshing as his superhuman feats
against the enemy are admirable.
Society sought to lionize him.; vaudeville tried
to lure him with gold; the multitude worshipped
him. Governor Roberts of his home state made
him colonel on his staff. Medals and jewels
of great price were offered him.. Cabinet men,
bers and senators sought the honor of shaking
his hand.
!. 1t was enough to turn the head of almost any
man. But it did not turn the head of Sergeant
Alvin York who slew 20 Germans, captured 1872
and put the quietus on 40 machine gun nests.
Alvin York hurried back to his little home in
the mountains where his mother and his sweet
heart awaited him. And there in the little
church where he holds the honored position of
second elder he. offered deyout thanks to the
God in whom, he trusted that he had been
brought home again after doing the full measure
of his duty to his country.
An invitation of the Rotarians to be their
guest at their national conciave in Salt Lake
City was likewise declined This together with
the vaudeville offers and the IKE are all merely
temptations of the devil" concludes the brave
and pious sergeant. And surely he has chosen
the better part. The multitude will soon be
gaping at other, though less admirable wonders.
But the love of those who are near and dear to
Alvin York will endure for life, and the comfort
of his religion will last till death.
Sergeant York rings true to the highest ideals
Of patriotism in declining to capitalize his
heroism

her DOMINIC Of the wedding finery,
the arrival Of Red Boards horse
men with Cinderella and other cap
tive heroines, the choice of herself
as the first bride of Red Beard, the
turning Of the Bronze Genie into q
statue, the coming Of Billy Belgium
ana the princes to the rescue and
the overthrow Of Red Beard through
the use Of his own charm.
Peggy had q queer feeling a. she
watched herself on the screen. 1t
surprised her to see how she looked
when she walked, when she smiled,
when she was scared and when she
was defiant. It was as II she were
looking at q stranger dressed UP In
her body and clothes. %
The picture ran on to the point
where the Genie had stumbled and
Peggy had hown off into space.
Down the hill raced the Genie. pull
ing the two-wheeled cart. His toe
caught on a stone and slippety slam!
he pitched head over heels, the cart
sailing up into the air like rocket.
This was the last Peggy saw Of her
self, for she and the cart disap-
peared. leaving the Genie, Billy and
Balky Sam alone on the screen.
The Genie landed with a Earring
thump. And the worst was yet to
come, for Balky Sam, trying to stop,
stumbled and sent Billy flying over
his head kerplunk on the Genie's
stomach.
"woof!" went the Genie, but still
worse followed, for Balky Sam
turned a somersault that piled him
on top Of both Billy and the Genie.
1t was an exciting mix-up, but so
funny that Peggy laughed until she
cried.
Then the picture suddenly switch
ed to show what was happening at
Red Boards castle. The Turk was
furiously angry over the escape of
his pretended brides. He stormed
and ragged around the lawn, swing
ing his scimitar viciously, while the
slaves and attendants shrank away
in great fright.
around-he wanted to do something
worse. So he gave an order and
slaves rain in with a pair of odd
looking boots and strapped them on
his feet. These boots had very high
heels and soles SO thick that Red
Beard looked as If he were walking
on stills.
But the first step he took in them
opened Peggys- Eyes. He bounded
high into the air and went as far as
though he had jumped with all his
might.
"Seven-league boots!" exclaimed
Peggy to herself. After ward she
learned that they were not even
seven-league boots, but were 70-foot
boots, for which every step he took
he could go that far.
Now Red Beard set off at a
rapid pace up the hill, swinging his
scimitar as he went.
The Aim shifted back to the Genie,
Billy and Balky Sam, showing them
untangling themselves from the
heap. Balky Sam sat down ana
laughed at the other two, while he
winked so comically at Peggy out
in the audience that she giggled
aloud in surprise. The giggle gave
way to a cry Of alarm, however, as
she saw Red Beard come bounding
over the top Of the, hill.

Public Security and Public Order.

Until the process of nation-buidng is SUBJ
stantially complete, and until the ambition for
world domination has been given up by every
nation, there can be no assurance of public Sc
curity; and until that time one of the necessary
foundations of prosperity will be lacking. I'm
mense progress has been made toward the estab-
lishment of public security by the defeat of the
imperialistic policies and ambitions of Germany,
and by the entry of Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Jugoslavia, and Armenia into the family of indie
pendent nations. At the very moment when
the forces that make for public security were
rapidly gaining ground, the forces that make for
public order within nation were being gravely
weakened. This resulted primarily from the
extreme and destructive course taken by the
Russian Revolution The disorderly, the law
less, and the irresponsible elements in other
lands hailed the advent of Bolshevisn in Russia
revolutionaries and as trouble-makers. If any
to be prosperous, these Bolshevist forces must
not only be held in check, but overthrown. They
are active, persistent and conscious enemies of
any public order that is not based upon tyranny,
and of any prosperity that is not the exploita-
ton of people by class. For lovers of civil
and political liberty to strengthen the hands OF
the constructive forces that are working for the
rebuilding OF Russia, is not an act of nterna-
tional interference, but an act of national self
defense. Bolshevism seeks to conquer Russia
only that it may have startng-poin from
which to conquer France, Great Britain, and
the United States. Public order, a necessary
foundation of prosperity, will not be secure until
civil and political liberty are finally and def
nitely protected against the assaults of Bolshe-
vism.

Foundations of Prosperity
BY Nicholas Murray Butler.

The entire world has been for long. time past
in state of peculiarly unstable equilibrium.
This has been due to the operation over the
whole area of civilization of two sets of power
full forces, one political and one economic, which
have been added to the ordinary and customary
human strivings for improvement and for
change. The world 10 always in process Of de-
velopment; but for at least three hundred years
this development has taken the form Of constant
and widespread agitation for immediate results
The political forces that have been and still
are at work are those making for the building of
independent and homogeneous nations, and
those making for increased and better estab-
lshed civil and political liberty for the indi-
vidual. In the former case these strivings have
led to many international wars. In the latter
case they have led to many domestic revolu-
tons, some peaceful and some violent. The
history of the making of Great Britain, of
France, Of Italy, and of the German Empire
illustrates how peoples have had to fight their
way to national unity through war. The history
of the English the American. the French, and
the Russian Revolutions illustrates by what
various methods men have struggled to achieve
adequate and well-established civil and political
liberty, as we'll as what dangers and excuses
may attend and accompany these struggles.

Britaan's Battling Giants

Isaac F. Marcosson in Saturday Evening Post.
With the merits of the Lloyd George North

everyone knows was scathing denunciation OF

The Winning of Liberty.

The forces that have been making for the def
milton and establishment of civil and political
liberty received most complete and most con-
vincing recognition through the English, Ameri-
can, and French revolutions, and particularly
through the framing and adoption of the con-
sttution of the United States. While those revo-
lutions left many things yet to be done, some
of them highly important, nevertheless they did
clearly establish the principles upon which civil
and political liberty as well as ordered govern
ment for their protection. must rest. Some
times, as in the case of the German empire, the
movement for civil and political liberty has been
held in check until the movement for nation
building had run its full course. In this way is
to be explained the failure of the Revolution
of 1848 in Germany, despite the strong and wide
spread support which that revolutionary move
ment possessed. The quick success of the po-
litical revolution in Germany, following the de-
feat of German arms and German policy in this
war, is the natural result of the free working OF
forces long pent up by the desire, first of all,
tomake Germany strong, prosperous and world
dominating.
If we are to look for the foundations of pros
perity we shall find them first in the satisfac-
ton of these perfectly natural and very power
full human ambitions and political forces which
make for naton-building and for the definition
and establishment of civil and political liberty.
Until these forces have expressed themselves in
achievement and until the ambitions which they
represent are reasonably we'll satisfied, there
can be neither pace nor order between nations or
within nations. "a

acErrINc BEHIND RINGER"

In audacity born of desperation, . summons
is issued in the name Of the so-called Commit
tee of S00s to "get behind Ringer" to hold him
in charge of the police department in which he
has made such miserable failure
Though Commissioner Ringer took the reins
of the police force more than year ago and
has installed men of his own selection in every
position of responsibility, including chief, chief
of detectives, captains, sergeants, plain clothes
men and morals squad without lettering con-
ditions perceptibly, but on the contrary becom-
ing enmeshed In q net of incompetency and
graft, the demand Is made that he must have
another year to clean up Omaha.
If the present police Encouragement has
failed to clean up Omaha in one year. what as
surance can we have without a change that it
will be cleaned up in another year, or another
year after that, or evers
The most amazing part OF the call to get
behind Ringer" is the announcement that if an
outraged people should start recall on Ringer
for going wrong his sponsors will start re-
call upon another commissioner against whom
there is not even an intimation of rong-doing.
That savors very much of the tactics of the
Hun invader in Belgium, who drove old men
and women and children in front of him to pro-
tect himself from righteous resistance. -.
On this theory the mis6t or the niscreant
in Office could always hold on by hiding behind
an upright and popular official, insisting that
if one is let out the other must go, too.
