PHILIPPINE FLAG IS
FLOATING TO BREEZE

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE Philin-
pine flag is again floating In the
breeze. And the Filipino people rejoice,
because they again see before them the
emblem of their nationality. 1t stands
for their liberty gained at the point OF
the bayonet, It stands for the blood
and ashes Of their martyred men. II
is rich in historic associations.
Since the year 1907 it has been lese
majesty by law to display ANYTHING
which may suggest the flag, be it en-
bodied in linen, silk, or button. A
bill has twice or thrice been presented
for the repeal Of the law. But out OF
has been invariably killed. Under the
new era, however, of mutual friend
ship and good will. and in view of the
unmistakable promise Of Independence,
there no longer is room for the suspic-
ion that the flag is being hoisted in
defiance of Americas authority. Be
sides, it is provided that the flag,
the left of or under the American ban
ner.
The colors of the Philippine flag are
red, white, blue and gold, 1t consists
of two stripes, one red and the other
blue, the blue being on top. At the
end near the staff there is a triangular
space which is white in color, at the
ttIllEI VI "nlNll &c u 'Nh sc
rays. At each corner Of the triangle
there is a star. Both the sun and the
stars are in gold. The triangle stands
for brotherhood the sun symbolizes the
orient, the eight ray indicate the
eight provinces originally declared In
a state of rebellion against, Spain; and
the three stars represent the island OF
Luzon, the Visayan islands, and the
island of Mindanao, respectively.
The flag, therefore; is the embodi-
ment of the ~nationalism of the entire
archipelago, not the nat'oralism of a
single group Of islands. 1t represents
the faith, alive and undimmed' OF an
entire race,
Around thiq same flag F1ipinos had
rallied in their revolution against SNn''
Beneath it Filipinos had fought against
Americans. 1t was sanctified as tne
that was proclaimed in 1898. Unchang-
ed in details, it will be the flag Of the
Second Philippine republic that VIII De
inaugurated when America redeems her
nrOmiSe.

COMMENT

OMMENT
You pay for a thing according to
it's value If it costs you nothing that
is all it is worth
I picked this up the other day The
difference between caution and cow
ardice. Caution is when you are afraid
and cowardice is when the other fell
low is afraid
An editor is accredited many times
with being afraid when he is only
cautious.
Likewise when you call the editor
a coward when he does not criticize
the acts of a fellow about town you
accredit him with showing good jude
ment when he overlooks som thing OF
the same nature about you.
If an editor criticises the acts of a
man as a public official he is justified
in doing so, but if he criticises the
same man for the same act when he
is not an office holder, he may be held
guilty of SANDER. This is according to
recent ruling of the supreme court
i.
official above criticism an official
for his actions but it does defend the
character of a private citizen. A good
ruling. Things would soon be running
pretty wild if a public official was not
subject to criticism.
The national administration has
found that there is going to be short
age of coal this winter with probably
much higher prices. 1t also advises
that such shortage can be avoided
by buying coal now. It is all right
to buy coal now and possibly higher
prices can be avoided by those who
do buy now, but if the visible supply of
coal is large enough now to supply
the demand for the year and run the
nation through the winter-that is if
| it is bought now-why isn't there
enough of it to run through the win
ter even if it is not bought now.
Which reminds us all that a1thoug h
there is coal enough in the earth to
last the world for many hundreds of
years to come, yet there is just
Ienough of it taken from the earth each
year to barely supply the needs, thus
keeping up brisk demand which
| helps hold up the price.
This view is probably little cynf-
cal. We should be more optimistic and
| feel glad that there is even enough
coal mined each year, and that we
have enough money with which to buy
t it. Kick a little, but pay the price and
