Flag Day. birth of the republic: another is the ann vLrsaryofthe birth of the first President; another Is the day chosen for the tlon of the graves of the men who g their lives for the preservation of th I'nlon; the fourth of the great group of ceremonial occasions is Flag day. th nlversary of the adoption In 1... by the Con? of the form of the national ban ner Tl.is last-named observance Is no* In progress. 127 years having elapsed stnce the decree was passed that the flag should con ,l?t of ' thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen 8tars. white In a blue Held, representing a new constellation. , _ These ceremonials and observances ha%e their real value in maintaining the ideals of the people. They concentrate national attention once a year upon certa'" 'Tj*, mental truths. They preserve historical recollections and encourage research, ex plolt the inspiring records of the men who hullded and maintained the Lnion. the deeds and words that have passed Into the structure of the body politic, and be come part of the life of the nation. Each day has its particular function. The celebration of Independence day turns upon the story of the struggles and sacri fices of the colonial soldiers and the wis dom of the nation-founders. Washington s birthday keeps green the memory of the great man who so bravely led In war and so sagely guided in peace- Memorial day turns the national thought to the later sacritices In the name of the I nion of mates, the willingness of men to die for principles cherished more dearly than lite. Flag day teaches respect for the symbols of the republic, the externals of the living thought which animates the great organiza ''Respect for the flag is no mere formula of speech or passing sentiment. It is no virtue |ip paraded. It is a deep-seated rever ence for what the flag means in the na tional and the international economy- The especial care today is to inculcate In the young American mind a sense of the sig nificance of the emblem, an appreciation of the purposes, powers, possibilities of the great American democracy. The hope is that these annual observances will deepen the sense of responsibility to the flag and through It to all the requirements of the republic. A certain irreverence has sprung Into being in these days of commercialism which does not hesitate to make a base use of the flag for ends of pecuniary profit. Some laws have been passed and more are today needed to check this tendency. But better results will flow from a wholesale education In the function and meaning and aacredness of the flag than from the laws themselves. If Flag day fulfills its ends thero will eventually be little need of statutes commanding reverence for the na tional symbol which the fathers of the re public prescribed June J4. 1777. The Suburban Grade Crossing. The other day a steam locomotive collided with an automobile as the former was run ning on the line through a public park in the suburbs of New York city. One man was killed, and other occupants of the automobile were severely injured. Now the public has awakened to the fact that the crossing at which this accident occurred is "dangerous." It Is guarded by no gates or others barriers, there being there only a flagman and an electric gong which rings upon the approach of the train. Yet four roads meet at that point and cross the tracks, and the traffic Is especially heavy. A clamor has arisen against the continu ance of such dangerous crossings, and other death-traps are being pointed out and a demand Is being voiced for instant relief from the menace. The New York Herald cites statistics from official reports to show that there are in New York state no less than 0.852 un protected grade crossings In and near cities, and 2.445 "protected" crossings, that is, with gates. As against these '.>.297 cross ing at grade there are only 1,015 crossings over or under grade. The work of abolish ing grade crossings has been progressing under a state statute enacted seven years ago In response to a popular demand f< a redress of the Intolerable grievance of rail road slaughter, but the progress has been slow. From the time the work began in 1SU8 until June ,'H) of last year only 123 crossings In the whole state had been abol ished. a rate which. It Is easy to see. will continue the peril for something over 340 years. The majority of collisions between steam cars and vehicles occur at the suburban or rural crossings. Vet the tendency in the abolition of these menaces is to draw limit ing lines closely around the cities and to confine the corrective work to the strictly urban or closely suburban areas. In tfie coun'ry reliance is placed In the so-called safety gate or the automatic bell or the flagman, devices which are all notoriously Inadequate. This problem will never be solve I until gr ille crossings cease to exist, until railroad trains run throughout their eoury between walls or on embankments or In trenches, at 1-ast In the vicinity of interacting roads, regardless of the near ness to large cities. The minimis have been through so much excite,nent in the course of pacification that it may be as well to wait awhile be fore burdening them with the stress of popul ir elections and Jury trials. It is feired that the republic of Panama finds existence rather dull without the usual Central American revolutions and is strongly tempted to answer the call of the wild Ambassador McCormick. It would Ik* well to receive with caution all g'issin concerning slights and boycotts in the experience of the American ambas sador at St Petersburg. The subject lends itself to yarns, and the silly season is at hand We may believe that at present Mr. Mc Cormlck and his family might be more popular at the Russian capital. In some way American sympathy was assumed In Russ i when the war with Japan began. I*ong time good will between the two gov ernments seemed to fix our status, as the Russlms appraised the case. Of course, the United States was for Russia. Why not? Adde 1 to years of friendship was the fact that Kussla was Christian and Japan pagan, and how could we fail to take the right side? Hut this view of the case left en tirely out of the reckoning America's long time friendship for Japan and America's interests In the Manchurian matter. We have always been Japan's friend. In fact. we Introduced her to the modern family of nations. It may be said, too, that we are very proud of her. What she has done for herself has Justified our Interest In her, and contributed to the general welfare. She has shown marked capacity for progress, and he would be a rash or poorly Informed man who should set a limit to her achievements. Her Paganism does not alurm us. It Is associated so Intimately w4th education, and art, and family life,' and religious freedom within the borders of the empire, that we see nothing in it to fear. Ic 13 strange that Kussla cannot appre ciate the fact that in repudiating her en gagements as to Manchuria she outraged us along with the other powers. Why should we have' been silent or blind about that? Why should Russia have treated an old friend in that fashion? We had done her no injury; had given her no provocation for breaking faith with us. But break faith she did, and then immediately began to complain because we resented It and g::ve sjmpathy to another friend of ours who had been outraged by the same trans action, even more severely than we had been. We may be sure that Mr. McCormick is carrying himself with all propriety at his pest and will continue to do so. Some coolness toward him In unofficial quarters may exist and now and then show itself. But It would lie surprising, indeed. If his mission should be hindered or his personal comfort lessened by any action in any offi cial quarter. _ Mr. Bryan and Judge Parker. The following, taken from a New York news story, should be read, marked, learned, and Inwardly digested: '?William J. Bryan has promised to ad dress the mass meeting to be held next Monday night In Cooper I'nion of demo crats who are opposed to the nomination of Judge Parker. Melvin G. Palliser, sec retary of the committee in charge of the arrangements, in announcing yesterday that the date of the meeting had been changed from June is to June 'JO. stated that Mr. Bryan has promised to attend. The two principal speeches will be made by Mr. Bryan and Frederic W. Hinrlchs, who ran for controller on the fusion ticket in this city last fall and who in 1N!H5 was the can didate on the Palmer and Buckner ticket for lieutenant governor. "The purpose of the meeting is not only to condemn the action of the Albany con vention. but to appoint a delegation to rep resent the views of the meeting to the na tional convention at St. Louis." Mr Bryan speaking from the same stand with a man who supported Palmer and Buckner? Has Mr. Hinrichs recanted his sound money views? Has he publicly and humbly expressed regret for his conduct In 1S1KJ? Has he worn sackcloth arid ashes for the regulation period? Probably not, for here he is in effect in the bolting busi ness again. The New York democrats, by a vote of two to one, have instructed for Judge Parker for President, and that, ac cording to party usage, should bind Mr. Hinrichs. But it does not. Here he is co operating with Mr. Bryan, not only against Judge Parker, but against the general in terests of New York at St. Louis. If despite this activity Judge Parker is nominated, will Mr. Hinrichs support him then? Mr. Bryan declines to say what he will do. Speculation has been busy on the subject. Bets have been offered, and some of them taken, that If either Parker, or Cleveland, or Gorman, or Gray, or Olney Is put up on a platform acceptable to Wall street Mr. Bryan will refuse his support. Still, he leaves the question open, and will only say in reply that he will cross that bridge when he comes to it. Was ever saying more frequently verified than that politics makes strange bedfel lows? Age cannot wither it, nor repetition stale its remarkable truth. Mr. Hinrichs bolted the nomination of Mr. Bryan in IKStO, and helped defeat him at the polls. He now bolts instructions for Judge Park er and joins hands with Mr. Bryan in an effort to prevent Judge Parker's nomina tion. And yet. both In 1-H9C and in 1900, Judge Parker, a more loyal democrat than Mr. Hinrichs, surrendered his personal views and for the party's sake supported Mr. Bryan for President. And so Mr. Bryan takes the hand of the unrepentant bolter and works against the loyal sup porter. The plot has thickened until It is thick enough for a knife. And maybe that is the reason we are hearing so much about knives, and are told that every piece of steel owned by democrats has been put on the grindstone In preparation for the St. Louis convention. Judge Parker's position Is a very comfort able one. He has expended so little time and energy that he loses nothing worth mentioning even in case of defeat. And he has become known to people who might never have heard of him excepting for this campaign. The fear among the Russians that a naval demonstration may work unduly on the susceptible oriental mind is not justified by the stolid indifference with which the Sul tan of Turkey has contemplated all sorts of demonstrations in the past. Santos-Dumont says that he may be obliged to do the final work on his St. Ixmls flying machine in this country. It is safe to predict that if so important an invention is ever perfected, it will be large ly an American product. New York is In doubt as to whether a group of statuary called "The Siturnalia" ought to be publicly exhibited. Even in Its own day the Saturnalia could not have been considered a very nn>ral and elevating form of amusement. Borchgrevink, the antarctic explorer, be lieves there is a continent at the south pole. But the possibilities for real estate specu lation nearer home have not been ex hausted. ? t ? If infernal machines continue to he de posited in his nalace, the czar will be tempted to join the army in Asia for the sake of safety. Col. Guffey and Prince David. Col. Guffey is figuring far too conspicu ously in the anti-Parker calculations. He is a deserving man, and a good jiolitician, and in many things one could wish him for an ally, li^it do the opponents of Judge Parker really rely upon him to turn the scale at St. Louis with his Pennsylvania delegation in their favor? Is it their Idea that a democratic nomination made by dele gates from a state where the average re publican majority in a presidential year Is a quarter of a million or so would 1m* popu lar in debatable territory? It Is likely that this gossip te circulating without Col. Guf fey's approval; that he is not girding up his loins for a grand stand play at the national convention, but Is going there to take counsel rather than to lay down the law. The democracy at Kansas City four years ago permitted Hawaii, which had no vote of any kind in the electoral college, to de cide the momentous question of reaffirm ing the silver plank of the Chicago plat form Prince David, who was a member of the platform committee, cast the decid ing vote. The wonder has always been that the minority did not contest the mat ter with greater vigor, and point out first to the committee and then to the conven tion the unwisdom of permitting Hawaii to Middle upon states like New York. New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois a money de liverance which in lKxt they had over whelmingly rejected. Pennsylvania is not as small as Hawaii, but It is of quite as little use to the de mocracy In a presidential election. Whether the St. Louis nominee be Cleveland or Parker, or Gorman or Olney, Roosevelt will sweep the keystone state. That Is al ready written In the book of fate. So that those people who are Insisting that Colonel GufTey should go to St. Louis and, in the matter of the candidate, play the part of Prince David of Hawaii, are shortsighted. He could not do his state, his party, or himself greater injustice. If he carries himself with sufficient diplo macy at St. Louis and Judge Parker Is nominated, why would not Colonel GufTey make an acceptable chairman of the na tional committee? That is where a Penn sylvanian, and particularly Colonel Guftey, should come in strong. Mr. Cleveland in 1802 committed his campaign to the care of Mr. Harrity of Philadelphia, and the choice proved to be excellent. Colonel Guftey is a rich man, is well known In money circles In New York, and would probably be a most successful hand at raising a campaign fund. The London Spectator speaks well of the Monroe doctrine as being indirectly a shel ter to Canada from any European power. It Is evident that the Spectator has no ex tensive subscription list over In Germany. If Mr. Bryan could muster some delegates of his own at St. Louis, he-might make a showing by persuading his old friend Mr. Hearst to turn over his supply. David B. Hill refrains from climbing high enough in political life to risk a very hard fall when Tammany pulls the props out from under him. ? ? ? ? Sir Thomas Lipton may be tempted to give up yachting and go in and see if he cannot win the golf championship back for his country. Some Americans in Paris gave a "roulette soiree" and a "poker dinner." The "smart set" at Newport appears to have overlooked something. Mr. Knox will probably go into the Senate with enough opposition to keep the occa sion from seeming tame and perfunctory. If Dr. Parkhurst uses his eyes while in Europe he will find that New York is far from being the only city with the lid off. SHOOTING STARS. Fond of Work. "Your husband doesn't seem to like work very much," said the summer boarder. "That's where you wrong him," said tho woman with the sun bonnet on. "He likes work line. Only he always wants it done by me or one of the girls." Eccentricities of Vision. "Cupid," remarked the ready-made phil osopher, "is blind." "Except among lis." answered the Mor- < mon elder. "Out here he is likely to see dcuble, at least." A Difficult Calling. It's hard to be a statesman. It takes years and years, they say. To really learn the business in a thorough going way. And when you've learned it and attempt to do the best you can. The chances are the voters will elect some other man. Explicit. "The trusts." said the man who says things harshly, "have the people by the throat." "No," answered Mr. Dustin Stax, as he signed an order raising the price of beef; "not by the throat; by the stomach." A Question of Results. "What do you think of a man who would spend thousands upon thousands of dollars in politics?" "I can't tell what I think of him," an swered Senator Sorghum, "until I see whether he gets the office or not." The Criterion. No matter what you may be trying to do. Somebody is going to kick. If rigidly pious the course you pursue, They'll vow it's a cheat and a trick. And if you cut loose in a Jocular way. They'll observe you with scorn and they'll sneeringly say, "There's not much to a man who is getting so gay." Somebody is going to kick. If obscurely you dwell and are chary of speech. Somebody is going to kick. If you lift up your voice in an effort to preach, The critics will land, hard and quick. And the man who can say, as the day turns to night, "I have honestly done what I thought to be right," Finds reward. And the words of the others are slight. Foi somebody's going to kick. m ? The Dragnet Out. From the New York Mail. Tho steamship companies have a perfect right to carry steerage passengers across the ocean for nothing if they wish, but our Immigration authorities have also a right and a duty to send back to Europe at the ] companies' expense all immigrants who are found below the standard maintained by the law. We are glad to see that the rate war between the trans-Atlantic lines has led to the observance of special precautions at Kills Island, and that nearly half of the immigrant arrivals since the war began have been held up for special Inquiry. The dragnet that is now out for steerage pas sengers is working with particular activity in two very undesirable quarters?one of them the overpopulated sections of Hun gary. whence emigration Is actually being assisted by the Hungarian government, and the other the slums of Whitechapi-1, Lon don. to whose congested purlieus a steer age rate of $!i.G0 to America Is particularly welcome. A College for the Aged. From the Brooklyn Kagle. Michael Angelo used to carry a book with him wherever he went, arid in the moments when he was not making cathedrals, and painting "Last Judgments," and sculptur ing Moseses, and Inventing battering rams, he would till his mind. He said that he was a student and he intended to keep on being one so long as he lived. He did not set an example that has been generally fol lowed. however. As a rule men stop being students as soon as they have escaped from college and have to dress a family of daughters, and keep a son supplied with cigarettes and automobiles. In order to re store the old scholastic tone to American society, Chicago?city of Intellect and grace ?proposes a college for the aged to which no student will be admitted until he has achieved the age of sixty. It will lie a co educational Institution and the usual meas ures will be taken to prevent flirting and stewing Welsh rabbits In chafing dishes at 2 o'clock In the morning. American Oirls Are All Right. From the Philadelphia Record. Our young women are, on the average, both taller and heavier than the young women of twenty years ago. Our soldiers are heavier and taller than those of any nation except the Russians. It may be ad mitted that there is a tendency in American families to fewer children and a lessened birth rate; but It Is a mistake to attempt to account for such results by showing that they are a consequence of too Jnuch algebra and too little absorption of phosphates. The girls are all right, and getting finer and fairer as the days go by. ? -? m China as n Peril. From the Cluoiunatl Kuquirer. China did not make a very good fighting exhibition In the affair with Japan, but she doubtless considers herself strong as a "peril." She can sit still and laugh and be dangerous. A Matter of Definition. From the <*hk-*Bo Reeord-Herald. If Colorado were located In South" America they would probably be called revolutions. ?J Everything for House ?Qd Kitchen." 7, Baskets Full ?f Fin? Whit?
