FLAG IS ALL RIGHT. | It is the inalienable right of any American citizen to criticise the de sign or color scheme of the American | flag. The free man who thinks that he could write a better national an-| them than “The Star Spangled Ban-| ner” isn't necessarily committing sac: | rilege. Perhaps neither the flag nor) the anthem exactly square with all the canons of art. It may be admit-| ted that both are susceptible of im- | provement. The parties who from time to time come forward to perform this work for one or the other should not be harshly dealt with. They mean no harm. It’s only an effort on their part to demonstrate at once their patriot- ism and their artistic perceptions, At} the same time, it is just as well to let | it be known that the flag and the an- them sult us excellently. This is espe-| cially true of the flag. It might be a} little longer or a little wider, or have | fewer stars or stars differently ar-) ranged upon the blue; but just as it is it does everything-a flag can do, The most artistic of the improvers will ad- mit, too, that, in comparison with the flag of any other country they have seen, it doesn’t suffer. The stern old patriots who designed it knew a whole lot about symbolism ani weren't de- fictent in artistic perception by any means. It has served admirably from the beginning. It may be impossible for the depart- ment of agriculture at Washington ot any other human power to succeed in every attempt to cause two blades of grass to grow where one grew before. I But there is no doubt of the efficient | work done by the department in stim- | ulating crop growing wherever poss- | ible Now the experts of that branch | of the government are turning atten- tion to opportunities in the Panama canal zone, which is under American jurisdiction, It is’ believed enough fruit and vegetables, including those of | both the temperate and tropical cli- mates, can be produced to meet the requirements in this direction of the 55,000 persons now residing on the zone. If this can be done a fresh tri- umph will be scored for the depart- ment and important economic results will follow, And ali that will be in line with the practical ideas which govern the department of agriculture. Cholera having found its way to the Netherlands, our government. will be forced té &ct vigilantly and dras- tically toward ships coming from Dutch ports; and orders to this effect aiready have been issued. There are such carefully worked out campaigns to-day for swift and thoroughgoing attack upon plagues of this kind that the world-hate of mortality from them is much lessened. Nations may still differ seriously as to their duties toward each other when political and commercial interests are at stake; but there is substantial agreements on a policy of fair play, warning and common action whef it comes to hos tility to disease and those natural enemies of humanity that decimate populations, A Swedish inventor has produced an electric storage battery which is and butchers, The contrivance con-| #22 ® month.
