PHILADELPHIA, November 90
Will or will not President-elect Hoover
change the design of the Presidents
flag?
This question interests the Sc n
stresses at the United States quarter
mast~z'7 depot in Philadelphia, where
all the flags for the President and his
official family and for the Army are
manufactured.
The question IS pertinent on the heels
of. the election, because it is the Presi-
dents prerogative, to select or prepare a
design for his own flag. There are two
other reasons why the modern Betsy
ROSES are agitated.
One is that Wilson was the last
President to order a new design. Prior
to that both Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft had distinctive flags, but since the
war President both of his successors,
President Harding and President Cool
idge, have used the same design.
Another Reason.
The second reason responsible for
added interest is the fact that on Presi-
dent Wilson'S flag the eagle of the
United States coat OF arms mad Its head
turned toward the claw holding bunch
of arrows, symbolic of war, and away
from the claw holding the olive branch,
symbol of peace.
At the time President Wilson'S flag
was designed the direction of the eagles
head toward the arrows of war cause;
conSl derable comment, and later was
looked upon as prophetic Both Presi-
dent Harding and President Coolidge
were content to use the war Presidents
standard. ow the thought arises
whether Mr. Hoover, with his Quaker
ancestry, will be content to let the
sym Dol remain as it is.
Az the Presidents flags are made ~
hand. expert seamstresses embroidering
the coat Of arms. The task is one which
brings thrill of pleasure to the women
whose duty it is to perform the work.
AS the life of a Presidents flag is long.
there has been a paucity of orders dur
ing the last tw> administrations Not

The embroidery is worked on both sides
of heavy silk, which Is fringed with gold
bullion and silver thread fringe. a..
In this same department of the flag
factory are made regimental and or
ganization flags and standards, the flags
of the chief of st of the Army and
of the members of the Presidents cabi-
net who are entitled to such insignia
For instance, the flag of the Secretary
of the Navy is a white anchor on a
blue field, with four stars, and that of
the Secretary of the Treasury crossed
anchors on a blue field, with IS stars.
Mr.. Hoover as Secretary of Commerce
had as his flag one with a white ship
over lighthouse and with four stars
on blue field. The Secretary of Wars
flag bears the coat of arms of the United
States on red field. The chief f
staff has flag in which the field is
half red and half white, divided dag
onally, and in the case of a major
general bearing two stars. and a gen.
eral four stars.

WILL HOOVER CHANGE DESIGN
OF FLAG? SEAMSTRESSES ASK
Last Opportunity to Work on Standard

Wilson's Administration.

a single flag has been ordered IN more
than three years.
Worked on Three Flags.
To Miss Lean Erskine belongs the
honor of having worked on the flags of
three reSidents-RooSevelt, Taft and
Wilson. The possibility of employing
her skillful needle on one for the Presi-
dent-elect is alluring.
President Wilson'S flag, which has
done service for three administrations,
has blue field with the coat of arms in
the center and four white stars at right
angles we'll within the field. Feath RS
of the eagle are white shaded with
black, another point in which the Will
son flag differed from those of his
predecessors.
President Taft's flag was substan-
TALLY the same, with the major differ
ence that the eagle. head faced toward
the claw holding the olive branch in the
traditional symbology of peace before
war. Another minor difference was
that the feathers of the eagle were
shaded with the natural brown.
Going back to President RooSevelts
flag, it stood out in sharp contrast,
having a red field instead of blue The
pathways, or perpendicular strips. in the
shield on the breast of the eagle were
blue, whereas in the Taft and Wilson
flags they were red.
1t is estimated that the Presidents
nag costs approximately $500 to make.

NEED JUDGES NOT ADVOCATES.

No one viewing tlre question fairly can req sonably eritieise Senator Reeds answer to what kind of judges he would appoint if he should be elected President of the United States His appointees would be who would justly decide the eases brought before them according 10 the law and would enforce all laws justly and faithfully. He would to it that they were men 'who do not represent side of the question
 From his wide experience as an attorney at law, Senator Reed knows what qualifications are required of men occupying positions in the judi ciary. He has aptly and concsey stated them in describing what kind of he would ap- point if the power in his hands. No lit- gant can rightfully into court and demand more than fair and impartial hearing, and a decision in accord with the laws If that is as sured, justice is we'll served
 The bench is no place for special peader or advocate Yet that does not seem to be the attitude taken by the Anti-Saloon League and other fanatieal factors which insist that only men known to be committed to favorable Dry law decisions be appointed to iudgeships Such an attitude is, of course. preposterous and can only lead to disaster to our judicial system

The grim, weather-beaten statue of George Washington, which guards the entrance to the
 University of a Thousand Years has imperturb- ably witnessed another milestone marking the the nations father, amid fitting atmosphere of dignity and high solemnity, Dr Matthew Lyle speneer was officially inaugurated President of the University of Washington
 That finest of all causes. higher education has outlived Presidents in the past as it will outlive Presidents in the future. The bgness or 11ttleness of one man chosen to direct for time the course of university can make but small dent in the ever-strengthening bulwark of education. President Spencer knows this to be true. He is aware that he himself is but a means appointed for the furtherng of an end
 It Is too bad that, at times. educational institutions must be soed by the ill-kept fingers of interruptions politics Washington s campus has undergone an unfortunate experience during the last few months in being made the stamping grounds for political controversy. That affair, seemingly al-important at the time has already dwindled to the unimportance of an incident in the public mind When Dean Spencer was named for the Presidency there was much head-shaking over the obstacles that would beset ms administration We venture to say that President Spencer already has enlisted the hearty support of his student body. The cooperation he was accorded in his forceful handling of the recent zioncheck situation proves this.
 What are the essentials of a university presi- aent? sane, open-minded viewpoint a cul- tural backgroundi well-rounded training; dig nity diplomacy in the finer sense: an attitude oi sincere democracy President Spencer has shown in his past record that he possesses these necessary attributes
 His inaugural address sets forth clear thought and sound policy. Advocating a .commonsense" attitude toward problems of undergraduate eduea- tlon. he names as inc foundation of a practical eauiea am: education in health in practical Foea .onal snbjeets, in citizenship and in general culture
 But the ideal of education, if one may sneak Tn metaphysical terms. is in itself as imperyious to the pomp of presidential inaugurations as the grim, weather beaten statue that stands sentinel al the gates to the glorious campus that is Washngton's

ARE THEY AFRAID. OF SMITH?

The first suggestion that comes to mind as result of the strenuous anti-Smith campaign that is being initiated by the Ant-saloon League is that the forces of fanatieism are fearful Of the popular appeal that the Governor of New York would have as d Presidential candidate On no other basis can it's activity at this stage of the 1928 campaign be accounted for. It seems more than anything else the Leagues convocation of numerous dry organizations in Washington this week was for the purpose of formulating plans for drive against Gov. Smith. This pre- sumption is supported by the announcement that the League has called another meeting shortly for St Petersburg. Fla at which definite anti Smith movement will be put under way, and to why Dry leaders from Southeastern States have been urgently requested to attend.
 This movement is designed to head off Gov. Smith from the Democratic Presidential nom- nation Were fl drive to prevent his election in the Fall campaign the activity of the League would be easily understood. But it's anxiety over his chances for the nomination of his party not be satisfactorily explained unless the reason is that the League believes he would be an un- usually strong contender in the general election. Were he considered a weak figure, one whose defeat next November foregone conclusion who can doubt that the League would welcome hie nomination and when his downfall came at the polls greet it with the claim that the country had overwhelmingly endorsed national prohibition and set it's seal of approval the yolstead Act !?
 Of course, the extreme Dry leaders pro- selaiming the impossb1ity Of the election of Gov Smith President. Apparently their state- ments designed to bolster up the courage of their cohorts and not to be taken very serious ly Their actions belle too strongly the propa- ganda they have issued from time to time In fact the meetings being held are proof con elusive of the seriousness with which they regafd the Governors chances for election And their efforts the most convincing evidence yet of fered of his pre-conventon strength and his chances for success in the campaign next summer and fall

HARBlNGERs OF SPRING.

The lengthening of the daylight hours so noticeable during the past week of brilliant sun shine, bespeaks the arrival of Springtime by the calendar schedule. But there are even more significant signs Of the time Boys with their pockets bulging conspicuously, gather in groups at convenient spots and from their midst comes the sound of the click of marble on marble or merry derisive laughter easy misses Lads loiter between school and home armed with ball and glove, and during recess hours can be heard the smack of the horsehide sphere against the stick" Birds, robins. jays ducks and geese, are back again from the Southern mgra- tions, preparing to resume their housekeeping where it was interrupted months ago by the rude blasts of winter On the lower levels. the delicate green of newborn grass rears it's spear head above the brown coats of winter In shelt- cred hooks the alders and willows bud and the spruce and hemlock on the benches are bedecki ing themselves in new garments of lacy green
 So all nature greets the approaching change in seasons. Il always does its part in preparing a joyous greeting for the Spring But it cannot do some things The piles of rubbish, ash heaps. debris filtered vacant spaces cannot be hidden

The protests that immediately excited by q recent infammatory speech of American Admiral had greater political significance than the speech itself Prophecies of in after luncheon speeches by Admirals who are press ing for an immensely increased expenditure naval armaments will be accepted nowhere as the authentic voice of the people More inter- estng is the argument that the gallant Admiral used to justify his prophecy.
 It is competition gentlemen. It is
 economic in it's origin, and as long as
 we proceed along the lines which we
 are travelling today is absolutely
 inevitable
 This theory that commercial competition is the root cause of wars is favorite one with military and naval politicians Business men, who actually engage in commercial competition are less prone to it. partly, perhaps, because they line domestic and imperial competition as incon- yenlent as foreign competition partly. perhaps because sense of proportion and responsibility Will not let them contemplate sending hundreds or thousands of their feow-countrymen to death Tor the sake of transient and uncertain inn provement in profit and loss account Why then, do the fre-eaters stress the economic mo- tive so much more than the economic practition- CTS themselves? We need not doubt their sin cerlty, Can it be that in the bottom of their hearts they realize that war their vocation is irrational, and unconsciously they seek a rational justification for it as instrument of commer- clal competition? There is no doubt a mass Inf pad history and worse economies that can be cited Ill their support but Europe at any rate mas mad too recent and too thorough an exper- renee or what war means to be persuaded by the most eioqueht Of Admirals that it can ever he good business
