The Flag To The Citizen Secretary Lane’s Flag Day Address of 1914. Let me tell you who I am. The work that we do is the mak ing of the real flag. I am not the flag—not at all. I am but its shadow. I am whatever you make me, nothing more. I am your belief in yourself, your dream of what a people may become. I live a changing life, a life of moods and passions, of heart breaks and tired muscles. Sometimes I am strong with pride, when men do an honest work, fitting the rails together truly. Sometimes I droop, for then purpose has gone from me, and cynically I play the coward. Sometimes I am loud, garish and full of that ego that blasts judg ment. Bul, always 1 am all that you hope to be and have the courage to try for. I am soug and fear, stuggle and panic, and ennobling hope I am the day’s work of the weakest man, and the largest dream of the most daring. I am the constitution and the counts, statutes and statutes maker, soldier and dreadnought, drayman and street sweep, cook, counselor and clerk. 1 am the battle of yesterday and the mistake of tomorrow. I am the mystery of the men who do without knowing why. I am the clutch of an idea and the reasoned purpose of resolution. I am no more than what you believe me to be, and I am all that you believe I can be. I am what you make me, nothing more. I swing before your eyes as a bright gleam of color- a symbol of yourself, the picture suggestion of that big thing which makes this nation. My stars and stripes are your dreams and your labors. They are bright with cheer, brilliant with courage, firm with faith, because you have made them so out of your hearts, for you are the makers of the flag, and it is well that you glory in the making. PATRIOTISM By Sir Walter Scott Breathes there the man with aoul eo dead Who never to himself hath said. This Is my own, my native land! ■Whose heart hath ne'e* within him burned. As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand? If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell: High though his titles, proud his name, Boundlcs his wealth as wish can claim, Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentered all In self. Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shah go dowa To the vile dust from whence ho sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung. THE FLAG GOE8 BY By W. H, Bennett Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky: Hats offl The flag Is passing by! Blue and crimson and white It shines, Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines. Hats off! The colors before us fly; But more than the flag is passing by. Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great, • Fought to make and to save the Btate: Weary marches and sinking ships: Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and years of peace: March of a strong land's swift In crease; Equal justice, right and law, Stutely honor and reverend awe; Sign of a nation, great and string To ward her people from foreign wrong:. Pride and grory and honor, all Live la the colors to stand or falL Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a rufflo of drums; And loyal hearts are beating high: Hats off! The flag is passing byl FLAG DAYI Flag of America! In 1776, proclaiming to the world the deathless truths of the Declara tion of Independence; thrilling man kind with the assertion that Ufa, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, hitherto the possession of the few, should henceforward be the goal of the many. 2n 1863, carrying opportunity to the black man. giving him the chance to live his own life, develop hie capacities, win his way to a share In the gains of civilisation. In 1917, declaring the union of free people* against the conquering lust of hideous German Imperialism, pledging all the resources of the nation to the principle of making the world arfe for democracy. In 1918, making good on that pledge with the lives of Its ions, offering them freely In devotion to a sacred cause, sending Its best and bravest division after division, until the tramp of marching feet penetrating beyond the battle line gives pausa to ^he damned gang of conquest drunk Huns who willed the world catas trophe of war. This rich meaning has the flag ac cumulated through the sweat and blood and sacrifice of tho men and women whose spirit has made it what it is today—tho very symbol of the great aspirations of humanity. May we who stay at home pledge renewed devotion to what it stands fori 8lavery in Africa. From the Cleveland IMain Dealer. Domestic slavery Is still a recog nized and legal Institution in Abys sinia, the only country which con tinues to givo It official sanction. Partly due to outside pressure, how ever, slave trading has been made illegal and under a decree of June, 1923. is punishable by death. Despite laws against It, slavery still persists In a good many places be sides Abyssinia. These placex are chiefly among the tribes o' Africa, but also In seldom visited Interior regions of Asia and Malaysia. The British snd French posses sions in western Africa were the chief sources of supply of the old slave trade with America, ar.d oases of slave dealing are stiU found there. Slavery was abolished by law in the British protectorate of Nigeria lt> 1917 and the old open slave mar kets have been suppressed by the acvilve rulers, though '‘bootlegging" In captives persists, and In recent years many slaves have been re leased under government compulsion In the northern provinces. In Cameroon, and In the Tanganyi ka, territory on the ast coast, both of which were former German col onies, conditions laid down in the mandates of the League of Nations are directed against slavery. Ger many partially abolished slavery here In 1908. Since 1922 It has been abso lutely forbidden, but still •rises to EDUCATION AND PROGRESS. By William Feather. Education is the best shortcut to progress. Many of us, impatient at ineffi ciency; slovenliness, disorder and ignorance, urge laws to compel people to do those things which we know to be good for them. This is a mistake. Laws are no (stronger than the public opinion that supports them, and public opinion must be created by education, - - some extent. In Madagascar dealing fn slaves wHs nominally abolished in 1877, and a. French proclamation against. slavery was Issued in 1896, but many slaves are still held in this French colony and also in the more Important ones on the African main land. Slaves are also held among some tribes In the Congo and South west Africa. ! The Half-Cent Stamp. From the Elmira Star-Gazette. Novelty in postage stamps will ap pear with the new half- lent and cent-and-a-half Issues which arc ex pected to be on sale by the first of April. The half-cent stamp will be used only in connection with the one-cent In tlhe payment of certain postage. Of course It will not be possible to buy a single half-ccnt stamp unless one pays a cent for It, and so the half-centers will be purchased in blocks of two or any even number. If, as many have Insisted should be done the government eventually coins a half-cent fo»- use In meeting bargains, the hal? -cent stamp wi'J become common property. Nobody expects the new postage rates, soon to take effect, will bo permanent. They were hastily agreed upon for the purpose of raising some of the revenue necessary to pay the flat $300 raise granted to postal em ployes. Congress will have some other scheme when it meets next winter. Postage stamp collectors should take notice.

THREE JUDGES IN PHONE CASE • Battle Another Round in Matter of Rates in State of Nebraska Lincoln, Neb., Jun< (Special) ■—The Northwester* Bell Telephone company and the state railway com mission battled for another round in federal court over exchange rates.

EDITORS TO SIT WITH RAILWAY COMMISSION Lincoln, Neb., Jumv (Special)— Each of three daily newspaper edi tors of Omaha, on motion of the city attorney, have been usked to sit with the state railway commission at the hearing soon to be held on the de mand of the editors, voiced by the city commission, that three tickets for 20 cents be sold instead 01 six for 40- The fact that the casual rider who now pays cash will buy three tokens for 20 cents and thus reduce the number of 10 cent patrons and Increase the number of ticket buyers, who pay only 6 2-3 cents means, as the commissioners figure it, that if they order three for 20 or six for 40 the receipts will fall $50,000 a year short of %vhat the company is entitled to receive. In other words, if the company sells three for 20 it will have to have more than 20 cents for three tickets in order to earn dividends. The editors are to be asked to ad vise what the fare should be, under these circumstances, since they have been so positive that it ought to be what the commission says It must be in order to solve the financial problem.

GOLF COURSE DOES NOT GET TAX EXEMPTION Omaha, Neb., June' (A. 1*.)—Al though the Omaha Country club has a rural sounding name, It is not con sidered by Chief Bass of the state gasoline tax bureau as having suf ficient agricultural status to entitle It to exemption from payment of tax op liquid fuel used in tractors and lawnmowers. A claim for exemption in regular form was sent by the club, but is will not be allowed, Mr. Bass says.
