Tu tho Kdltpi i'a-Tliorg g"ne fan

Dickett'g report which I believe will
meet with general approval, namely,
thai tho Stats adppt tho .new policy
of requiring the entire time of tho
Attorney General, forbidding that offle
rial to ongago In private practice
while In office, and pay him a salary
sufficient to Justify his giving hla full
time to the duties of his oftlc.
And t believe the same course
should Be pursued with reference to
the Corporation Commission. t
These two departments of Rtate
government have grown Immensely
In Importance In recent years, an
the men chosen to All them should be
constantly on the job If the Htate Is to
get the best results from them.
If the Attorney Ueneral and mem
cera of the Corporation Comnilsulo
can continue In private practice while
serving the Rtate. why not the Gov
ernor, memlxrs of the Huprema Court,
and othnr fitate orTictala?
Custom, you say. That may ex
plain but dea not justify the prac
tice. No special blame attachra to
present inrumbenta for following for

system Is wrong, and should bo

The writer offered bills covering
these two subjects In the legislature

vote rhbrly for the reasons that the
Incumbent of the Attorney General's
Ctlli'd, while approving the principle
of the bill, deemed it unfnlr to change

Ths American Has. which has a
birthday Juno 14,. Is a growth rather
than a creation. According to tho
U. H. Bureau of education, its history
can bo traced back to the twelfth cen
tury, or nearly 100 years prior to tho
nrst nag aay, June 14, 1777.
During ths first crusade, in 115
Pops Urban U assigned to all tho
Christian nations as standards crosses
varying in color and design, emblem
atic of tha warfare In whioh they were
engaged. To the Scotch troops was
assigned tho white saltlre. known aa
fhe White eross "of t, Andrew.- on- -
blue field. The British used a yellow
cross, cut" g' rrntrjry and X 'quarter
later they adopted a red- cross on a
whlto field, known as the red cross
Of-Wfe-O SOrgO. . rr- -
- Wnen James VI of Scotland ascend
ed ths throne of England as James t
he combined tho two flags, and Issued
a proclamation requiring all ahlps to
carry ths new nag st their mainmasts.
-At the same time the vessels of ftnuth
rTftain, 'wr; to" arry"nt -their"tm?ei4
roasts the. red cross of St. OWorge and.
the ships of North Hritaln to carry
the whlto cross of St. Andrew.
Tho now flag was known as "king'
co1itra-tho- -'tiionjcabjrfl'!.or the
"great union," and later as the "union
Jack," and was the one under which
the British made all of their perma
nent settlements In America. It was
Ihs flag of Oreat Britain only by pro
clamation, . however, and not until
177 did parliament pass an act . de
finitely -uniting the two countries and
their flags. Is the same year the gov
ernment Issued regulations requiring
ths navy to use what was kown as tho
white ensign r the naval reserve the
blue ensign, and the. merchant ma
rine, the red ensign. Owing to the.
fact that tits British merchant vessels
wej-e everywhere, the colonists ln
America came TO' look upon this red
ensign as the flag of Great Britain. -Objected
to Cross on Msg.
The people in the New Kngland
colonies were bitterly opposed to the
cross In the flag. In 12 some of the
troops In Massachusetts declined tn
march under this flag and the military
commission was forced to design other
flags for their troops, with. the cross
left out. The design thry adopted hue
not been preserved In 122 a mint
waa established in Boston. Money
coined In this mint had. the pine tree
stamped on one side of It. The pine-
tree design was also- used on New
England flag- - reus I lily by i ?r4r and
uiwalbly as early aa 1(15
At the outbreak of the revolution
the American colonies had no. flag
common to all of them. In many
cases the merchant marine flag of Kng
land waa used with the nine tree sub
stituted for the union Junk. Massa
chusetts adopted the green pine tree
on a white field, witn the motto, "An
Appeal to Heaven. "v mime of the
Southern States had the rattlesnake
flag, with the motto "Don't Tread on
Me" on a white or yellow Held. This
flag had been used by South Carolina
as early aa 114 Jtenjamln Frank
lin defended the rattlesnake devtee-en
the ground that the rattlesmtke is
found only In America and tbe serpent
emblems were considered l y anclentr
to be symbols of wisdom.
- In September. 1 775. there waa dis
played In the South What la by many
believed to be the first distinctive!','
American flag It waa blue, wtth a
white crescent and matched the dress
of the troops, who wnreapa Inscrib
ed "Liberty or death.",
The colonists desired to adopt a
common flag, but they had not yet de
clared Independence and Wrre not at
first seeking Independence. They took
the British flag as they knew it. and
made a new colonial (lag by .dividing
the rod field with white stripes Into
thirteen alternate red and white
stripe. Thia is known as the Cam
bridge flag, because it was nrst un
furled over Washington's headquar

of 1797 by having the union Jack on
It;" it also represented the thirteen

As the colonists graJually became
converted to the idea that independ
ence from the-mother country waa
necessary, they began to modify the
Has- first by leaving off the union lack
and using only the thirteen horiaontal
stripes. The modified flags-were not
alwavg red and white, but regularly
consisted of combinations of two col-1
ore selected from red. white, blue snd
yellow. The final modification was'
the replacement of the union Jack by
the white stars on a blue field.

of the cargo is or Is not contraband

Is claimed by the British because cbli
traband has been concealed In some
cotton cargoes. It also is alleged that
manifests when produced have not
tiacbised the whole of the cargoes.
The Brltsh claim that the sise of mod
em ocean vessels prevents a thorough
search on the high seas, necessitat
ing the taking of the ships to a Brit
ish port to be partially or wholly un
loaded. Long delays sometimes re
sulting was one of the points of which
the Htate department complained to
the British government.
