HATS OFF!

To the shame of Fairmont citt-
zens be it said that the American
flag passed through our streets in
parade a dozen times yesterday and
that less than a score OF persons
showed their love for It by remov'
ing their hats.
Fairmont should not allow its
patriotism to descend to this low
estate. When but twenty out Of as
many thousands revere the nation
al colors there is something radi
cal1y wrong with community.
But it is not true that only TWEEN
tv persons in this city have the
proper reverence for our country's
flag. Some have failed to observe
the rite through ignorance per-
.haps; others because OF thought
Weakened Americanism is
equally as undesirable as overbear'
ing Americanism. What the city
needs most is strong, considerate
Americanism.
The symbol OF true citizenship is
respect for the American flag.
Hats off!
"The flag is passing by"

Masonic Temple For CAPITAL Site

In the very heart of the most ex
elusive and beautiful residential section
of northwest Washington, D. c., lies
the Dean tract" Of land, nine acres
in extent, covered with magnificent
trees, and the most coveted and Gag
erly desired piece of land in all the
District of Columbia. 1t was recently
purchased by the Women's Foundation
to preserve it from real real estate
aggression.
Now the tract has been sold to the
Masonic fraternity of the District,
which will erect on it a temple to cost
one or more million dollars. The land
was purchased for consideration un-
derstood to be 100000, and is amply
large enough to permit the erection of
several temples should such be found
desirable.
Civil authorities are loud in their
praise of the Women's Foundation,
which declined to permit the beautiful
park to be cut up into building lots or
disposed Of to any one for any pur-
pose whatsoever until pledge YVES
made to preserve for the city the ma
jority of the magnificent trees which
grow upon the land
When the plans as made are real
lied, the nations capital will have
something seldom seen in such build
ings-a great temple adequately and
completely surrounded by broad lawns
and wooded ereas. Some of the most
magnificent buildings in the world are
in America, it is pointed out, and among
the most beautiful are several with No
foreground or background, the wonder
full Pennsylvania Railroad station in
New York City, the Woodwork Build
ing, and the City Hall in Philadelphia
being cases in point.
