FLAG DAY

IT MIGHT be a good thing if every Am
l erican visited an army or navy station
some time during the year when the col
ors are being raised or lowered to learn
how the official forces of the government
treat the flag of their country.
They would see no mawkish or maud
lin ceremony, nor would they see any
thing flippant or smart alecky' Tie
national forces know how to handle the
colors with the respect that is due then
the type of respect that is d.gnfied
without being unnecessarily stiff and ma
tural without being careless.
Such a lesson once year would not
be amiss with the great mass of Ameri-
cans, many of whom know as little about
their flag as they do the constitution Of
their country, or its national govern
ment.
Today marks the 156th anniversary of
the flag, which was created by an act OF
the Continental congress on June IA,
1777.
1t is not generally known that the flag
did not continue in the same form follow
ing its adoption.
On May the flag of the United States
was changed from Is stripes of red and
white to one of 10 stripes, the two adj
ditional ones representing Vermont and
Kentucky, following their admission to
the Union
Thereafter, until 1918 a new stripe as
well as a new star. was added to the flag
for each additional state admitted to the
Union.
In 1918 Congress changed the flag reg
ulations so that after July of that year,
the stripes should remain as originally
designed, Is in number, and only the
number of stars would be changed there
after as new states joined the Union.
No provision is made by law for the
arrangement of the stars, but custom has
placed them in six rows of eight each.
When additional stars are added to the
flag, the change is made on the Fourth
of July following the admission of a
state to the Union.
Some Americans feel there is too much
fuss made over the flag, and too much
written about it. They are correct.
There should be no need for making
fuss over it and equally little need to
write about it. Yet as this is written it
is Flag day; much has been written about
it in preparation for its observance and
there are still business houses and public
institutions in this city which have for
gotten to display the flag.

Bet the chuckles are beginning to show
up on the man in Palo Alto.

VETS WIN ANOTHER

QY VOTE of the people in Massaehu-
u sets yesterday, the odd Bay State"
lined up as No. IL favoring repeal of
the 18th amendment, making record
of 100 per cent for the vets in the
elections held thus far since congress
authorized such action.
While those favoring repeal are ma
turally cheered by these developments,
they have no license to take victory for
granted. On the contrary they have
plenty of reason to be apprehensive of
their chances for victory, for the burden
of winning is on them. The much light
er burden of defeating repeal rests with
the dry forces.
In other words, the "wets" must cap
ture at least SO states to carry their
point; the "drys" require only Is to win
theirs.
While wet" victories have been
achieved in territory formerly considered
dry, the South is still to be heard from
and the South is quite likely to stay in
the dry" column. Virginia, the Caro-
linas, Florida Alabama Georgia, Misss-
sippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma are al
most certain to be in the dry list, with
Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee more
likely to be dry than wet. Utah can
be considered safely dry, the Mormon
church being staunch adherent of pro-
hibition. Vermont and Idaho also have
strong dry" leanings, though the former
might follow the lead of other New Eng
land states and join the wet column.
Whatever the result may be, it will
represent the wishes of the people, who
for the first time have been given an op-
portunity to express themselves direct
ly on the subject of prohibition.
1t is possibly too much to hope that
when the final results are in the ques-
ton will be settled permanently. 1t is
more than likely that no matter which
side wins, the other will continue to wage
a fight
Like the poor, prohibition seems to be
something that we have always with US.
Evidently Premier Macdonald has the
faculty of seeing war debts one way
when in Washington and another when
playing on the home grounds.
While we don't like to think OF man
going to Siberia, better that for Jimmy
Mattern than falling into Berlng sea.
