We are Makers of the Flag.


Because Of its beauty, significance
and perennial timeliness, we print
the address made July 4, 1914, by
F. X. Lane, who was at that time
Secretary % the Interior.
This morning, as / passed into
the Land Office, The Flag dropped
me most cordial salutation and
from it's ripping folds | heard II
say: Good morning, Mr.. Flag Max

II beg your pardon, Old Glory,
/ said, "aren't you mistaken?

States nor a member of Congress
nor even a general in the army.

man who worked in the swelter OF

give you greeting, Mr. Flag Max
err
| was about to pass on when The
Flag stopped me with these words:
Yesterday the President spoke a
word that made happier the future
Of ten million poems in Mexico; but
that act looms no larger on the flag
than the struggle which the boy
in Georgia is making to win the
Corn club prize this summer
Yesterday the Congress spoke a
word which viii open the door Of
Alaska; but mother in Michigan
worked from sunrise until far into
the night to give her boy an educa-
ton. She, too, is making the flag.
Yesterday we made new law
to prevent financial panies, and yes
terday. maybe, school teacher in
Ohio taught HIS first letters to a
boy who will one day give cheer to
the million Of our race. We are
all making the flag"
But" l said impatiently. these
people were only working"
Then came a great shout from
The Flag.
"The work that we do is the max
ing OF the flag.
Il am not the flag, not at all, |
am but its shadow.
Il am what even you make me,
nothing more.
81 am your belief in yourself,
your d ream Of what People may
become
- live changing life, Of moods
ad passions, of heart-breaks and
tired muscles.
Sometimes / am strong with
pride when men do an honest
ciwrk, fitting the rails together truly.
Sometimes I droop, for then pur-
pose has gone from me and cynlcally
1 play the coward.
Sometimes / am loud, garish,
and full Of that ego that blasts
/ Judgment.
But always / am all that you
hope to be and have the courage to
ary Tor.
81 am song and fear struggle and
panic, and ennobling hope.
81 am the days work of the
weakest men and the largest dream
Of the most daring,
81 am the Constitution and the
Courts, the statutes and the statute
makers, soldier and dreadnaught,
drayman and street sweep, cook,
counselor, and clerk.
Il am the battle of yesterday, and
the mistake of tomorrow.
Il am the mystery of the men
who do without knowing why
Il am the clutch of an idea, and
the reasoned purpose of resolution.
81 am no more than what you be-
lieye me to be, and | am all that
you believe I can be.
Il am what you make me, moth
ing more.
Il swing before your eyes as q
bright CLEAN Of color, symbol OF
yourself, the pictured suggestion OF
that big thing which makes this ma
ton. Ny stars and my stripes
are your dreams and your labors.
They aqe bright with cheer, brilliant
with courage, firm with faith, be-
cause you have made them so out
of your hearts.
For you are the makers Of the
dag and it is well that you glory in
the making"

"Faust" Has an Off Night,
in Attendance, at
the Opera.
By Frank H. Warren.

What shall be said of the operatic
nation when Faust" fails to
dhlw? Perhaps the fact that it was
sung but a week ago, plus the fact
that the Boito version, "Mefistofele."
was given only last Monday and
that on the same afternoon Miss Far
rar's friends made grand rally TO
the colors when she reappeared In an
I~ct of la Boheme," all combined
absorb the Faust -Farrar enthu-
siasm of the week. At any rate, last
nights attendance at the Metropoh-
tan, when the Gounod setting OF
Goethe's tragedy was given, con-
stituted no record in these days of
surg1ng opera crowds. However, the
excellent cast stood to Its singing
guns. Miss Farrar did her Jewel song
. aVtlstically; Mr.. Martinelli, in the
hlut demeure," rhapsodized as
1usciously as the most modest maiden
could desire; Mr.. Danise ''dio pos
sented" in true italian style; Car
ence Whitehill was designing
Mephistopheles: Mary Ellis proved
fetching .Siebel, the choruses went
well and the Kermesse scene was
lively enough. Mr.. Hasselmans con-
ducted.
Florence Trumbull, pianist, was
heard in recital in Town Hall in the
afternoon. A Mozart Fantasie, two
Scarlatti numbers, Beethoven's So
nata Op. 27, No. 1, Chopin group, a
Rachmaninoff Serenade, an intermez-
20 Scherzando by Leschetizky, under
whom Miss Trumbull studied, Bour-
rec (for left hand alone) of Saint
Saens and Liszt's "St. Francis Walk
ing on the Waves" made up her pro-
Eramme numbers Miss Trumbull Is
an average performer. Portions of
her programme she made interesting
md portions were inclined to be dull.
An interesting selection of songs is
promised by Idelle Patterson, soprano,
who gives a recital tonight in Aeolian
Hall. Mrs. Patterson is ambitious
and studious, and her appearances in

SOCIETY WOMEN
OF WASHINGTON
ARE THREATENED

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA sensation
which has kept Washington social circles
in furore for ten days came to light to-
day when It was learned a number Of the
most prominent matrons in capital So
ciety have received letters threatening
them with death unless they gave up
sums varying between $4,000 and $4,000.
Among those who have received the
lteeers are Mrs. stephen B. Elkins,
whose son is a United States Senator
from West Virginia; Mrs. Henry White,
wife Of the diplomat and former mem
her of the American pence commission at
Paris, and Mrs. Scott Townsend.
The letters were similar in each in
stance, il was said, and demanded the
recipient deposit huge sums OF money at
designated places around Washington on
the pain of having their magnificent
homes blown up during social affairs :"
The missives were not Of the ordinary
''blackhand" type, but on the contrary
were written on paper Of good quality
and In faultless English. In each case the
writer gave explicit directions where the
money vas to be deposited and how the
messenger was to take it to the spot.

Constance gaIloshed out of morals

"Blah. It isn't the girls who do the
boulevard vamplng. It's the men. These
he-nirts are the most despicabi@ crea-
lures In creation-the dirty things;
Constance, the State sought to prove,
attempted to vamp the owner of an
tomObIle by parking herself in the back
scat when he wasn't looking.
I'm not satisfied just because the
Judges said .boulevard vamping not
breaking the law" she said. "They
blame everything on the girls and never
say a word about the men.
THE boulcvards never win be safe
for decent, respectable girls until the he
