FLAG DAY? JUNE 14.
One hundred and thirty four years
ago today Congress authorized a
flag to he made which wxuld repre
a. the thirteen colonies which
w>re (ighung for their liberty against
the 'yranny and misrule of the Brit
ish monarch George 111.
L'p to that ''me there had been
no national emblem, but each colony
hau its particular banner, such as
the "Pine Trie Flag." the "Liberty
Kjag'' and iu the south the rattle
s.dUe flag wiUi the motto "Don't
? read On Me' embl&zoueti on it
In bold letters, but At that time, a
banner was demanded, by the I nit
el States who had declared their in
dtpcndence of the mother country,
marly a year before, and the first
ria? of the combination of stars and
aUipes, a? authorised by Congress
was made by UeUe} Koss, at her
Uomb at Arch street, uuder the
uir*ct super\ isiou of General George
VV aching ton.
1 he stripes were copied after the
ludlautd ensign, the color* were from
fcliig aud and Scotland, the idea of
stars, however, was original with
A.neriea. i'hv flag was originally
composed of thirteen stars and
thi'leen stripes, and later was rais
ed to fifteeu of each, with the ad
mission of Vermont aud Kentucky,
but in iSls it was decided that the
should be thirteen in nuui
Ler, representing the thirteen
o. i(iual States, while a star should
U; added for each State admitted.
As the flag is the most signifi
cant factor in our uational life.
Congress has recommended that its
iiatal day be observed by its dis
play in every public place possible,
that all that i' represents may be
properly inculcated into the minds of
the rising generation, and be rever
ed by those who have learned its
true meaning and significance.
Aa a teacher of patriotism and au
Inspiration *o noble deeds "OM
Giorjr" has no equal, and
"Long may It wave,
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave."
MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATION
When Judge Klbert Gary, long
the r<val he?ul of the utrvl trust, toll*
a committee of Congress that what
big business" must have U more
fcovtrnment regulation and control,
and Theodore Roosevelt publishes an
editorial in *h? Outlook, at practical
ly the mum time taking the same
ground, it Is well to prepare for
changes In that direction. If forces
so diverse as the progressive leaders
?u the Republican partjr and the
nun responsible for the management
o* the biggest busings corporation
In the world unite to tains about
ths degree of publicity and control
v h ih the federal government al
ready exercises in dealing with in
teisiate railroads, for instance, the
people will be very likely to fall
ulo line and tell the lawmakers to
ga chead w'ta such legislation as
may be necessary to ghe effect to
tbi* program.
It is not the work of a da}' or a
>ear of course, but such alternation
ct the relations of the national gov
ernment with the great industrial
and commercial organisations in
tiie United Sii-Usj which dominate
v suy important kinds of interstate
traffic is nearer, in seeming and in
:'act than it ever was before. "Big
bi.s:r.es?" is iict unanimous in sup
pcrting Judge Gary's position but
fio stand he I as taken would have
De? n impossible, not many years
ago. It shows how the industrial and
ii-ancial world is moving and how
1'ubttc sentimeut is changing. ? Ex.
