WHAT NOT TO DO WITH THE FLAG
Prom childhood all of us have been taught more or less
* to show honor and respect to the flag of our country as
an emblem of purity and freedom. We have learned to
know the flag as something that stands for-national hon
or and private virtue; that which all citizens may rally
around in measures of equality and justice.
These things have not been in vain; for what has been
wrapped in the folds of the flag, in every star and stripe,
in the field of blue, has been emblematic of national integ
rity won at the sacrifice of blood, victory as the result of
right, and peace at the cost of war.
Now that the glorious symbol of' the nation has re
mained figuratively unspotted, lessons of literal protec
tion to the flag have taken a rightful place in patriotic
devotion. A few timeful “don’ts” are given below.
Don’t nail the flag to a wall. Such action grates up
on the sensitiveness of real patriots.
Do not use the flag as an advertisement. There are
plenty of clever methods of illustration without commer
cializing so sacred a banner.
Don’t put and advertisement on the flag. It is un
lawful to do so, even if no other deterrent presents itself, j
Do not display the flag when it is torn or dirty.
Loosen up and buy anew one. Think of those who have
done even more than that.
Give a respectful salute when the flag passes in re
view. You thus salute your own sense of decent citizen
ship.
Don’t ‘throw away” a flag that is old and torn. Burn!
It. That is the approved method.
Keep the flag free during the act of hoisting. It has
kept you free at all times.
Don’j, place the flag on a door or archway. It has*
better uses.
Don’t let the flag touch or drag on the ground. Keep
it lofty in appearance in keeping with its grandeur.
Don’t tie the flag in a bow knot. It isn’t a neck tie.
Do not place the flag up-side-down, except as a signal
of distress at sea. In the latter case it serves a humane
purpose. t
Keep the flag at the right of all foreign and domestic
flags. See it first as you would read a printed page.
When used as a banner, that is, hanging vertically or
horizontally, place the Union to the north in streets run
ning east and west, and to the east in streets running
north and south. This is a more or less arbitrary custom,
but it makes for uniformity.
There are other rules for flag display, each having
significance to proper observance. Many well meaning
people, thru an exaggerated sentiment, attempt to use the
flag in ways not permitted by law or sancitoned by well
founded custom. A little more formal respect paid to the
flag, which, after all, is a representation of all that our
country means to us, is needed to insure a continuing na
tional spirit.
We have heard that the suction of a speeding train!
will draw a person under the wheels but never until the!
other day did we ever hear of a steamer passing a light
house pull a man from out of the* window.
A couple of special investigators are said to have
arrived to investigate other investigators.
The Fourth of July comes but once a yea*r so let’s
make it worth while.
The Seattle visitors fell in love with Seward. That
was to be expected. A beautiful evening greeted them and
during the few minutes they were in town, going and
coming from Anchorage, they raved over the scenics, etc.
; t A reasonable wish is more likely to come true.
