SHOW YOUR COLORS!

The time was fitting nor the need so great today for all Americans to keep before their eyes the glorious symbol of their national unity and pride--the Stars and Stripes
 The American flag identifies to the world the only great nation that is still actively dedicated to the principles of democracy and liberty to peace 5 and the law of peace
 We who are citizens of this nation who prosper through its strength who breathe it's atmos- phere of fraternity and opportunity while other peo- ples know only fear, anxiety and sorrow, must today give more than the customary signs of love and reverence to our flag.
 Fsg. We must display it everywhere, that it will x always be within the vision of every eye no matter how wandering preoccupied. We must make it our inseparable companion wherever go wher- ever rest. Our flag must be the most honored first decoration of our homes offices and public ! buildings The actual visible presence of our na- tional emblem at all times and in all places today spiritual necessity.
 The flag is beautiful itself. What it symbolizes is still more beautiful It stands for nation that has always prized freedom and justice above all other things It stands for an ideal of thought and action that has never denied liberty and justice to : any man who yearned for them and deserved them. It has been beacon of hope to the poor to the oppressed and persecued It has always represented the strength of unity, a strength never exercised tyrannically, yet tmid or lax when invoked in the cause of human righteousness ;s The. flag is. above all, promise to Americans that their lives, the lives of their children, their goods and social destnies are safe long they cherish with their hearts. long they preserve l with their minds and hands the ideals which the flag symbo2es
 What better object then to keep continually and reverently before eyes? What emblem more soemnly important? What more deserving of our patriotic devotion?
 And today, in a world distracted with the insults and conspracies of violent revoutonaries who hate

The same undoubtedly could be said for all these other men with out countries, but the fact that some still owe allegiance to na- tions who openly welcomed the Nazis with outstretched arm s makes it impossible for them offi- cially to admit anything but that their governments acted wisely and well.
 Veteran of these struggles to free little lands from vassalage is MT. Potocki. who started working for Polish independence 35 years ago when he was 16 years old and now takes up where he left off when the World War struck the shackles from his country.
 The social status of these Am- bassadors without country is un- changed. Washington still recog- nizes them as representatives of the nations that appointed them They still call almost daily at the State Department and report or confer on the affairs of the world
 But behind the scenes, they rapidly are becoming the State Departments problem children Refusing to recognize a conquest is one thing, but when you have to straighten out the affairs oi Americans and the United States Government in a conquered land that's another.

Statehood for Hawaii
Cincinnati Enquirer


 This fall, one week after the presidential elec- tion the people of Hawaii going to take the un- precedented step of conducting plebiscite on the question of statehood It is expected to produce a virtually unanimous mandate for admission as a state It will have effect in law formal effect whatever But it will be dramatic way of calling the attention of the American people to the neglected pleas of Hawaii for statehood
 The residents of Hawaii, most of whom are not Hawaians can make a very persuasive case. The territory has been part of this country for 40 years Its residents citizens of the United States save for percentage of aliens smaller than the percentage in New York City. They pay the same taxes we pay on the mainland, have the same obi- cations to help defend the country, and share the general depression prosperity of the country as a whole.
 Yet they cannot vote in national elections, can- not choose their own Governors and local judiciary, and cannot exercise any voice in determining national policy.
 Just why Hawaii has not been admitted as a state is not clear It is an extremely important naval station and army post and the government needs free hand there. But it has free hand in those corners of the mainland where defense is a Asiatc blood But most of those folk are second or third generation stock quite adjusted to the tradl- tions of America.
 In fairness to Hawaii, which is more important in our national economy than some of the states we might well reconsider the question of statehood It is not good to have 100000 Americans, part and parcel of our national life, kept permanently in the status of non-self governing territory.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not C InapeP'
SATURDAY, JUNE Is

|
 Benefic aspects are active today which is favorable to recreation and travel. Under this configuratior there will be a special lure to the beaches and other resorts near the water. It is fortunate for the be- ginning of vacations.
 Heart and Home: House guests bring great pleasure when enter tained under this direction of the stars. It is especially lucky for hos pitalities extended to older per- sons, particularly to relatives who are interested in young people. The stars encourage mental vision which enables friends to under stand one another and to bestow benefits. Summer homes this sea son may be havens of help to many persons who have sustained misfortuneS.
 1 Business Affairs: AS midsummer of year marked by a national election approaches there may be little more activity in certain lines of business than the warm weather apathy usually allows. The general trend of trade will be fair. Mining is to gain great impetus. Ingenious inventions will aid the discovery of rare minerals used in modern medicine and in various lines of manufacture.
 National Issues: Because of the | high ideals represented by the de- mocracy of the United States there will be misunderstanding among foreign nations which misconstrue neutral policies. Even the Allies, who have the sympathy of the ma jority, will misapprehend the atti- 1 tude of Uncle Sam when the need of his help is felt. There are to be days of supreme anxiety in Wash ington as the history of 1917 in relation to a world war seems about to repeat itself.
 International Affairs: The Pope is to exercise his influence in a way that will be of great moment in the European war, but the ef- feet of his courageous effort toward peace will be slow in demonstrat- ing it's wide, full meaning. Italy is to manifest sudden changes oi policy on the part of Mussoliin who hopes to be on the side ol success. Turkey comes under 2 configuration of great promise tc the future of the nation.
 Persons whose birthdate it k have the augury of a year of cer- tain perplexities. It may be neces- sary to be extremely cautious il business and social relations.
 Children born on this date may be extremely emotional. They art likely to be quick-tempered ,anc impulsive, but possessors of extra ordinary talents.

Denmark-but the status of his country has. When the Minister receives an order from Copenhagen today, how can he know whether it comes from the government that appointed him or from some Nazi overlOrd.
 Dr. A. Loudon is another man whose daily problems must cause sleepless nights. Queen Wilhel- nina, to whom .by oath he oMes his all. and her government, are in London; and, Arthur Seyss- Inquart, the Austrian Nazi lead CT, is in supreme command of all the civil functions of the Neither lands.
 In a similar plight is Wilhelm Munthe de Morgenstierne, the Min ister from Norway. The great lobe of the country that he represents and by far the most important section of it from standpoint of population and industry, is in Ger man hands. At some place which he may know, but which the world at large doesn't, is King Haakon and the Norwegian government Report has it that MT.

Miss Josephine Juneau, employed in railway of- fees at Chicago, took part in the dedication of a plaque few days ago, in memory of her great uncle Joe Juneau and to Richard Harris, Joe's partner. They founded what became the capital city of Alaska These two prospectors, away back in 1880 padded their way to a wild shore where the Indians said could be found "a creek with vel low stones in it." There old timers in Prince Rupert who remember Joe Juneau, and who were in Dawson when he died The memorial is well worth while, for it pays tribute to class of men who have had much to do with the initial opening up and development of both British Columbia and Alaska Joe was a French Canadian, and Harris hailed from Ireland
