Letting ri.cm Flgh. II Out

THE Presidents sudden departure on
weeks vacation trip TO Florida sprang
somewhat OF surprise on pickering Con-
gressmen, but there seems TO have been more
or method than "madnesn" in the purpose
which inspired his action True. he Is sore on
Congress. but he is sore because the major
ity leaders have ignored his advice In all
important legislation which he felt that The
administration had u right to voice in de-
termining its character.
His program OF legislative recommended
tons has been treated with little less than
open contempt, questions Of major import
ance, demanding prompt action, being held
up while the two houses waste their time
i'll vain and confused wrangling. Nothing
conclusive has been done about the tariff,
and tho majority leaders hold widely di-
vergent views as to what should be done
the question of further revision of revenue
legislation has no prospect of an answer;
VICE differences OF opinion exist as TO the
size Of the army and navy, although he has
communicated his own views OH that sub
ject; the proposed reorganization OF the
executive departments has been ignored
the House refuses TO regard his wishes on
The bonus proposition; and an acrimonious
debate on the treaties now absorbs the SEN
ate, with that body refusing to accept his
word that there is no hidden meaning in
them. On practically all these subjects there
is division--the President and his Cabinet
holding one set of vicws, while the congress
sional antagonists wrangle over two other
separate and distinct views as to what
should he done. II
So the President made UP his mind to let
these congressional recalcitrants fight out
their differences without let or hindrance
from him. in the meantime by absonting
himself from Washington fer n week, giving
them time and opportunity to reflect upon
his position regarding pending issues and
To determine whether they are willing TO
assume full responsibility for what is TO
come. In other words the President is Civ

be conceded 10 the amendments now adj

engagement. The important point in both
instances is that the proposals came from
enemies, not friends OF the treaties from
those who would destroy, not strengthen

Norah nor Johnson would vote for the
treaty with the Robinson amendment in

Every advocate of important changes in

Cnlied Stntca Flag.

congressional resolution, passed June
~. III. declaring chat the flag OF
the thirteen United States he thirteen
stripes. alternate red and white: that
the Union he thipteen stars. white on
blue field, representing the new
constellation" In 1874 Congress de-
creed that after May /: 1895. "the
Nag of the United states be fifteen
stripes. alternate red and white, and
that the Union DO fifteen stars, white
III blue Held" This change was
made to mark the admission OF Yer
mont and Kentucky into the Union.
The stars and stripes were then
equal. and star ana stripe were To
be added with tho admission of each
new state. 1t was realized. however.
that the addition Of stripe for each
new stale would soon render the flag
too large. and q resolution was ac-
cordinSly passed In Congress on
April 4, 1918. reducing the number OF
stripes to thirteen rcprescn,ing the

twenty in numbcr--thcrc being at
that time twenty States It was
furthermore enacted that a new star
should he added for zach new State
