many Blaine supporters came into
the convention, whom our officers de-
clare they had never seen before. the
efforts to make our organization take
reactionary stand were unsuccess-
full. Finding themselves in min
GRITTY, an attempt was made to adj.
iourn the convention sine die by Mrs.
Blaine before the business convention
was over.
"The spectacle of the first lady of
the state and the wife of supreme
court justice so far forgetting the
dignity of their positions as to in
dulge in political tactics which would
shame even Chicago politicians is one
which the members of the progress
i've association who remember the
ideals upon which it was founded
will not soon forget"

ed while a company of old soldiers
marches by with flags to the breeze,
some people will think you are show
ing off.
But don't you mind! when Old
Glory comes along, salute and let
them think what they please! When
you hear the band play "The Star
Spangled Banner" while you are in
a restaurant or hotel dining room,
get up even if you rise alone; stand
there and don't be ashamed of it,
either!
For all the signs and symbols since
the world began there is none so full
of meaning as the flag of this
country That piece of red, white
and blue bunting means five thousand
years of struggle upward. 1t is the
full-grown flower of ages of fighting
for liberty. 1t is the century plan
of human hope in bloom.
Your flag stands for humanity, for
an equal opportunity to all the sons
Of men. Of course we haven't ar
rived yet at that goal; there are
many injustices yet among us,
many senseless and cruel customs of
the past still clinging to us, but the
only hope of righting the wrongs Of
men lies in the feelings produced in
our bosoms by the sight of that flag.
Other flags mean glorious past,
the flag of your king-it is not so
much the flag of our fathers as it
is the flag of our children, and of our
children's children yet unborn. 1t is
the flag of tomorrow. 1t is the signal
of the Good Time Coming" 1t is
not the flag of your king-it is the
flag of yourself and of all your
neighbors.
Don't be ashamed when your
throat chokes and the tears come, as
you see it flying from the masts of
our ships on all the seas or floating
from every flagstaff of the Republic.
You will never have worthier emo
ton. Reverence it as you would rev.
erence the signature of the Deity.
Listen, son! That band is playing
the national anthem-"The Star
Spangled Banner! They have let
loose Old Glory yonder. Stand up
and others will stand with you.
This tribute to the flag is offered
to the country in appeal to all men
and women of all races, colors and
tongues, that they may come to
understand that our flag is the SYM
boil of liberty, and learn to love it.
Alvin M. Owsley, Past National
Commander, The American Legion.

WITHIN THE RANKS

Madison-In a statement Thurs
day Mrs. E. C. Hoebel, Madison
leader in the Women's Progressive
association, and its first president,
sharply criticizes tactics of Gov.
Blaine's supporters in the convention
of the association here last week.
That Blaine faction has appeared,
fostered by Mrs. La Toilette, when
factionalism is barred from the as
ISOLATION, and that this faction is re-
dictionary in spirit, are among Mrs
Hoebel's charges. She strongly init
mates that the meeting was packed
by Blaine partisans. The statement
scores Mrs. John J. Blaine, wife of
the governor, and Mrs. c. H. Crown
hart, wife of the chief justice, for
their part in the meeting.
The statement follows, in part:
at was Mrs. Robert M. La Toilette
herself who urged me, when we were
forming our organization, not to
take the La Toilette name in our
title, and not to make the organiza-
tion an advocate of any mans politi-
cal fortunes. Our prime purpose is
not to seek office, but to obtain legis-
lation to promote progressive princi-
Piles.
at was, therefore, most deplorable
that a Blaine faction in last weeks
convention should appear Although

RESPECT THE FLAG

When you see the Stars and

take off your hat.
Somebody may litter. 1t is in the
blood of some to deride all expression
of noble sentiment. You may bias

to you; but if you should get down
on your knees and pray to Almighty
God or if you should stand barehead-

 There will undoub btedly be lots of fun staged wien things get started, as there are some brill ant minds amorg the vets that will outline entertainments which will be largely responsible for the Posts financial success.

vacation this week. Of course she is
still courteousiy attending to her
duties in the office but, you see, the
final date for the first installments of
taxes expired last Saturday evening
and that week was indeed strenuous
one and so many, egen mere in town,
had evidently forgotten just where
the court .ouse is located. The long
line Of PEOPLE reaching from her Of
fice almost to Broadway was sugges-
tive of an afternoon matinee at a
theatre where Camille or Faust was
the attraction. Some prominent busi-
ness and professional men of the city
were in line as late as Friday and Sat
urday afternoons among them law
yer who at present Is temporarily en-
gagged In literary pursuits. However,
everyone was cheerful and the good
people OF the city and county proved
that they are good at remembering
dates. But at that it does seem that
the taxpayers OF the city should learn
to shop early" and leave the final
week to the people from out Of town,
who, because Of bad roads or other
conditions, are unable to get into town
as soon As they would like to do. Let
us all be more prompt next time IL
