THE FLAG NEVER SALUTES.

There has been much comment on this
side of the ocean as well as the other, be-
cause during the recent international
Scout jamboree" in London the Ameri-
can Boy Scouts did not dip their flag in
salute, as the Scouts of all other coun-
tries did.
Even when ceremonies were held in hon.
or of the war dead, the American flag re-
manned steadily upright when all other
flags were dipped. When King George
reviewed the Scouts, again our flag re-
manned stationary while all other flags
saluted him.
1t is reported that this unfortunate
event" left ian unfavorable impression"
and critical comments have come from
some quarters in this country also.
But there will be no criticism in any
quarter where the rules OF the flag are
known, and especially there will he no
criticism from anybody who has read the
infantry drill regulations. For there these
very plain words appear: The national
color never salutes.h Every citizen, and
all State regimental and other flags render
tribute to the Stars and Stripes. But
proud Old Glory never ducks a curtsey,
even TO the President of the United
States
The American Boy Scouts in London were
simply oheying primary rule governing
the use of the flag.

OUR CROWDED PEOPLE.

At the Eastern States Exposition to be
held IN Springfield next month Boston is
to be shown as a bad example in the
matter of human congestion. There
will be a mimic reproduction OF our
crowded districts with their depressing
effects caused by lack of sunlight and good
air, and close by will be another exhibit
showing the benefits and delights of iiv-
ing IN the open country.
We of Massachusetts, certainly like
crowds. 1t seems incredible, but the figures
say that 93 per cent of our people live in
cities and only per cent in the country,
whereas in the United States as a whole
only 40 per cent live in cities to 54 per
cent IN the country.
Evidently the "back-to-the-land cry
has not yet had great cal of force in this
state. In fact, the tendency has unfortunate
ly been in the other direction of late.
There are today / III ,440 acres of unculti-
waited farms In the commonwealth. If
city people could only be educated to see
the joys and advantages of life near to
nature, that total would not long stand.
But there is less money in it, which is
the mann problem to solve at present

The Gypsy Moth Peril Here.

The finding of Buffalo moth in Phila-
delphia, recently, emphasizes the neces-
sity of our State authorities making inn
mediate preparations 20 combat this great
est of all foes of our trees, and vegetation
of all kinds New Jersey also is fighting
the pest, aided by expert Federal entomolo-
gists, and is reported to have made some
little Roadway in the obstinate battle
The gypsy moth made its appearance in
New Jersey early this season and the
authorities, at once alive TO the peril,
have been fighting it ever since, butdespite
their efforts to check its westward progress,
it has crossed the Delaware and has attack
ed Philadelphia trees.
This pest is said to be many times more
to be dreaded than the japanese moth,
which hitherto has been regarded as the
most damaging Of enemies to vegetation.
Massachusetts, has expended 81 0oo,OoO
a year for many years in the war on the
Japanese moth, but has only been able
to keep it within defined radius. The
gypsy moth is much more difficult to
overcome, and as it is spreading throughout
New England and is working its way into
the Middle States, we must do our share
in the offensive war as -uelLas guard our
farms and orchards against eventual entire
denudation.
Perhaps with the reopening oADelaware
College and the reassembling of the facul-
ty, the problem will be given prompt con-
sideration and legislation urged to en-
able the State to take up the fight at the
first sign of the approach Of the destructive
enemy. If the gypsy moth should get
foothold in the State and on the PENN
sula, it might be impossible to dislodge it,
or to even keep it in subjection, therefore,
prompt action is essential.
First of all, we must know if the moth
has reached Del aware and If it has, we
must strike wit hout an hours delay.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

There are plenty of Republicans who are
going TO vote the Republican ticket, but
no one connected with this paper has yet
reported meeting one who rejoiced at the
prospect. So far as they have come under
actual observation hereabouts, Republicans
don't like their candidate or rather, his
control There are not many Johnson
Republicans here and not very many Lodge
Republicans, and Republicans In New
York, who belong neither to johnson nor
Lodge, look forward to the polls next
November as the scene of a painful duty.
Some of them will do it, but not with Joy.
But the Democrats are much more
cheerful They seem to like their eandi-
dates Mr.. Franklin Roosevelt, who has
been popular since the lightning first
struck him, did himself great credit in his
speech of acceptance. He ranks as high
as Governor Coolidge as a. candidate for
the Presidency, and that is much to
say. He is good writer, good speaker,
and is fortunate in being able to speak
from his heart without running counter
either TO the platform of his party or to
the sentiments of its candidate for Presl-
dent.
Z And Governor Cox enjoys the same great
advantage He gives the impression IN his
discourse of a man saying what he wants
to say; of a man blurting out what IS
really in him. His talk at the great Demo-
cratic meeting at Columbus was first-rate.
He has a good cause. good mind, excel
lent facilities of communication, and "
good record He does not bluster he does
not whoop; but he puts the bali over the
plate accurately and with good speed. :.
The notion that the country is dlssatis-
fed and displeased with the foreign policy
of MIR. Wilson is an Illusion OF the Repub-
lican politicians that is very dangerous
TO themselves. There is nothing the mat
ter with Mr. Wilson's foreign policy,
except that Mr.. Lodge has been able to
block it. As a whole, it was the best that
could be contrived In details it may have
been faulty; doubtless it was; but in It's be-
ginnings il gave hope to the world, and TO
that hope still elings a larger part of the
world than the Republican leaders sus-
pect. The thing to be done with.Mr. Viii
sons foreign policy is by no means to
abandon it, but to do everything possible
to put it through insofar as changed
conditions in the world allow.-Llfe

His Claim Too Large.

Former Ambassador Herrick saws
Europe wants the Republicans to win at
the coming national election" This is a
pretty large claim and it will bear some
measure Of analysis.
There is no doubt that part of Europe
earnestly desires the Republicans to win
Germany does, or at least what remains of
that former large and powerful empire.
Germany knows what agency brought her
10 defeat, and also knows of no better way
of getting measure of revenge than by
Republican victory at the election. Ger
many hopes, and all friends Of Germany
in this country hope, for a Republican
victory.
II is safe TO say that Soviet Russia also
earnestly hopes for Republican victory. 1t
has no love for the Wilson administration
and the Democratic party. Turkey also
may be set down as part of Europe that
wants the Republican party to win.
A. to the rest of Europe. it may be that
the people generally are not especially
interested in the outcome Of the election.
Assuredly, however, it is not hoping for
Republican victory. 1t wants the League
of Nations too badly to wish for such re-
suit

Republican Economy"

In every move made by Republican
party managers in every claim for public
support they put forth, they make clear
display of their inefficiency and of the
hopelessness of their cause. They can
offer nothing which appeals to the in
telhgent people of the country.
One Of the most foolish arguments TO
which the desperation of an unpopular
and unappealing cause has driven the
Republican party managers is that the
recent Republican Congress saved the
people several billions of dollars" How?
it may be asked. The answer of these
partisan defenders of a lost cause is: BY
cutting down appropriations far below the
estimates submitted by the heads of de-
partments under the present national ad-
ministration.
Here's richness. Here is the most fall
lacious claim TO economy ever advanced.
Keeping appropriations below the de-
partment estimates, forsooth. Was there
ever a Congress at Washington that did
not do this thing? 1t is the invariable rule
in government for departments to ask for
far more than they expect to receive, and
for Congress to pare the estimates un-
mercifuIly, although not always with dis
regard Of public interests.
No one expected this Republican Con-
gress to make appropriations equal to
the department estimates. But the people
did expect-or had right TO expect
that this Republican Congress would do
something towards reducing the onerous
war taxes and bringing down the high cost
of living. Did it do this? 1t did not. 1t
wasted more than year without doing
the slightest thing for the benefit of the
people.

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Guest.
THOUGHT FOR AUTUMN.

Autumn's comm on again, summers
work is almost done,
Fruits an trees an fields o grain have
their richest garments on.
Now the humblest vine seems proud IN
bit o. splendor dressed,
Sort o. satisfied to go, KNOWN it has
done its best.
Human like it seems TO me are the things
that bloom and grow,
Some are JUS the common run, some
are raised fer pomp an show;
JUS few get special fame, few draw
prizes in the fall,
But when autumn comes along, nature
glorifes 'em all.
Gold an red an purple hucs deck the
commonest o things,
An the simplest sprig that grows wears
robe too rich fer kings;
Nothin stays neglected now, man may
scorn or fail to find
Many hidden plant or vine, but God
has 'em all in mind.
Mcbbe when our work is done and our
autumn time draws near
We, too, like the growing things, in rich
garments shall appear;
An perhaps the humb1est then, unto
mans neglect resigned,
Shall discover all the time God was keep
ing him in mind.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

@. Il. d.
A. The man who is usually referred TO
as the first American novelist and whose
claim to the title seems TO be undisputcd,
was Charles Brockden Brown, who was
born in Philadelphia in 177I, and died in
1910. His best novel, "WieInnd," is a
morbid horror story, based on ventrilo-
quism, and while improbable it contains
scenes of great power, He publ lshed
several other novels, and in 1899 q book
on divorce and marriage, which cnun-
ciated many views then considered very
radical, but now widely accepted. No
other novels than his were published by a
native American until the appearance Of
The Spy" by James Fenimore Cooper
in 1921.
@. What percentage on an investment
would be yielded by Victory Liberty Loan
Bonds, and when do these bonds rnature2
+. T.. X.
A. The actuary Of the Treasury De
partment states that money invested in
Victory Liberty Az per cent notes Of
being quoted at the time the question was
asked, would yield, If held until maturity,
6.4G6 per cent interest. These bonds may
be redeemed at the option of the govern
ment on June Is or December IS, 1922,
and they must be redeemed by June IS,
1923.

A. The Bureau Of Indian Affairs says
that there are no wild tribes Of Indians in
the United States at the present time.
