Tied to a tree in the 1oneliest of uninhab-
tied lands, it would fling out its stars and
stripes as g%loriously and as bravely as
when it leads the march of magnificent
parades. Whenever it is flown, wherever
it is to be found, Our Flag is America UNI
trammeled and exalted.
, 1923-06-13

Our Flag has never been a tyrant to force men into slav-
cry. lthas rather brought the willing grasp of friendship
to stricken peoples. Never before has it had such an op-
portunity for helping the world as it has today nor has
it ever stood more ready to do so.
, 1923-06-13

We should know Our Flag as we know our
friend. 1t should be to us a personality
with whose history we are acquainted,
with whose moral standards we are ia
miliar, and of whose possibilities we are
prophetic enough to challenge the world
that they will be fulfilled.
