flag desecration.
A bill is before Congress which
it is said will surely pass dealing
with the offense of desecrating the
national flag.
It is said that this is directed
against certain organizations which
are said also to be disloyal to the
country.
It is a queer business suggesting
such a thing as flag desecration. To
our mind there can be no such thing
unless it involves desecration of the
things for which the flag stands.
The real desecration of the na
tion and the flag is the desecration
that comes from a failure to live
up to the principles of that Amer
icanism embodied in the Declaration
of Independence and the essence ot
which is resistance to wrong and in
justice wherever met.
What greater desecration can the
American flag be put to than that
it should be waved over acts of in
justice: social, legal or industrial
injustice we ha^e got to be shown.
The flag itself is a piece of bunt
ing; lifeless, inanimate and insens
ible. But it was raised to symbolize
liberty and freedom and justice and
when it. is waved over conditions
inimical to those vitalizing prill- J
ciples, the flag is being subjected to j
-a desecration to which there can be
no question.
And it is singular to say the least
that so many of those who evidence j
«nch lofty indignation of what they j
term desecration have no concern
whatsoever about the real desecra
tion to which we have referred. To
them it is immaterial that wholly
base influences are exerted upon
government, that wholly detestable
activities are performed in the
name of government, that violations
of the constitutional rights of free
speech, free press and free assembly
are denied under the flag of author
ity, yet these indeed are very real
and lasting and defiling desecra
tions.
It is a sinister sign that legisla
tion of this nature should be even
suggested. It is significant that to
day the flag of the nation is not to
all what its founders intended it
should be, the emblfem of impartial
justice and unquestioned liberty.
It is significant that those who
have held office under the flag must
that now in many instances their
conduct has desecrated it and made
it the object of that suspicious at
titude which declares that patriot
ism is the last refuge of the scound
rel, should now seek to get a special
law to have the flag which they or
their predecesors in different sec
tions have by official malfeasance
-and nonfeasance disgraced, pro
tected from sharing an odium that
they personally have brought about.
The American flag standing for
certain concepts of ilberty and free-,
dom and human rights had need of
no such law, hut because a number
mf official scoundrels debased their
positions and debasing their posi
tions debased the flag, they have to
discover some means of protecting
the emblems that they have from
time to time so infamously abused.
It is not an uncommon sight oi
an uncommon condition for those
who have pressed home upon the
nnprivileged classes disgraceful per
versions of justice, seeking to justi
fy their acts with patriotic orations
and considerable flag waving. Yet
in the national life what other de
secration of the flag is of moment
but this very form and which is re
sponsible anywhere for the flag be
ing held In dis-esteem by even the
least within the republic.
Surely It is against such as these
that laws saving the flag from sully
ing disgrace should be directed. The
nation as a nation is what
the people make it, not
what the great builders of the
nation designed. The nation lives
In the present and it is upon those
-who represent official authority,that
the flag which typifies the nation
will be-honored or dishonored. When
then class decisions mar -judicial
probity, persecution of the toilers
takes the place of formal unbiassed
prosecution of wrong doers, when
the forces of the nation are used
not for the maintenance of strict
and even handed justice, but for the
suppression of economic efforts to
better the conditions of those strug
gling to do so, surely it is against
such obvious national desecrations
that all legislation should turn.
The experience of everyone leads
directly to the fact that when honest
and fair and conscientious officials
have the custody of the governmen
tal duties they and the flag will be
met with due esteem and respect.
It is when the high functions of
government are prostituted for per
sonal profit or corporate Interests or
the extension of privilege that both
those officials guilty of such scan
dalous conduct and the flag under
which they operated will fall into
I disrepute.
It is when we go lurther afield
| that this fact becomes of readier re
| cognition. It is notorious tllat ty
! rannical, despotic and corrupt gov
j ernments in other lands ha'.'C to
; make their flags respected not in
the hearts of the people but in the
outward seeming. The reason for
this is because of the identification
exists in men’s minds between the
despotism of the rulers and ihe 'leg
which stands for that despotism.
Moreover the law cannot forte
respect for •anything. It can as far
as the outward showing under pain
of punishment compel circumspec
tion. The flag as the symbolic re
presentation of the nation and the
national principles is to Ibe honored
and only honored in the hearts ot
the citizens. Love of the flag means
love for which the flag stands, and
to make the flag honored at all
times, it is essential that the nation
and the national acts should always
be above reproach, above suspicion
and above criticism.
A great writer once said that
every flag at one time stood for free
dom. He excepted none. And he
significantly suggested that as the
nation evolved, so what the flag
stood for evolved as the positive
symbol.
If under the folds of the Amer
ican flag there exists a grievance, a
sense of injustice, a spirit of dis
content for the disabilities under
when men labor, a feeling that in
equitable conditions prevail, the be
lief that the privileged are allowed
to enjoy more privileges at the ex
pense of the unprivileged, that cor
rupt, base, unfit, dishonest, graft
ing, unfair, biassed, persecuting of
ficials and official prostitutes exists,
it is the clear duty to the nation
and the flag that such be removed,
or the inevitable result will be that
the flag will share the disgrace and
dishonor and disesteem whiih these
unworthy servants of the people—
who in point of fact were not the
servants of the people but of certain
interests which enslave the people
for their own ends—have brought
about.
Moreover, the moment that one
begins to discern that the flag of
any nation is not honored in the
hearts of men, it is high time that
before legislation is passed to make
them outwardly give honor, to dis
cover the reason why and to remove
the reason. Men failed to compel
other men to worship in their hearts
although they made them indeed
conform, but an hypocrisy like that
Is just as evil, if not more degrad
ing than the condition it proposed
to remedy.
