Mayor J. J. Desmond and the mem- bers of the common council’ and a delegation of half a dozen ladies rep- resenting Faith Trumbull chapter of the Daughters o6f the American Revo- Iution had seats on the front porch of the building. The exercises began with a concert in which the band from the submarine base, under the leadership of Band- master Schultz, rendered six selections; in admirable form. _Exalted Ruler James R. Purdon, who presided, in- troduced Mayor Desmond for the ad- dress of welcome. The mayor spoke of the difference between Flag day this year and the same day a year ago, particularly with relation to the world war, and commended the spifit of the men who sprang to the defense of the flag which they had carried forward victoriously against its enemies over- seas. The same noble spirit of de- votion to the flag and country and the ideals for which they stand is still called for, he declared, among =il true patriots against the foe without and the ememy within. The unfurling of the Stars and the Stripes on the flagstaff on the lawn was accompanied by the- singing of The Star Spangled Banner by the en- tire assemblage led in fine voice by Al Craig Taylor, and accompanied by the band. The History of the Flag was given by Exalted Ruler Purdon and was fol- i1owed by a selection by the band, Ral- Iy Round the Flag, after which came The Elks” Tribute to the Flag, which was eloquently given by Past Exaited Ruler Lawrence E. Millea, whose ad- dress was generally regarded as the finest -that has been given on this subject at any of the Flag day exer- cises. Arthur Campbell, accompanied by the band, sang Columbia, the Gem of the Occan, which he rendered in_ex- cellent voice, and Exalted Ruler Pur- don then introduced Rev. P. J. O'Ma- hanney, U. S. N., chaplain at the sub- marine base, to deliver the patriotic address of the occasion. Chaplain O'Mahanney interested. his hearers deeply in his brief address as he spoke first of the uprmghr up o various welfare organizations when the entry” of the United States iato the world war struck the note of Iib- erty and justice. Thess marshalled the wealth of the country to place all they could do at the serviee of the men of the army and navy. These organizations included the Knights of Columbus, the Young Men's Christian Assoclation, the ed Oress, the American Library Association, all of which offered their atd which was gladly accepted by the government. And the FElks, intencely American, came to offer their patriotic seryices as well. In the army and navy there were 80,000 members of the ofder. ‘Works of merey, charity and brotherly love, the cardinal principles 6f the OF- der, were likewize provided for by what the Elks did, putting $300,000 in- to the Parker HIill reconstruction hos- pital at Boston which they turned over to the government, donating $60.000 to the Salvation Army for war work, and furnishing complete hospital at the University of Oregon and the Uni- versity of Virginia, at a cost of $60.000 each. The Elks can well be proud of their patriotic record and the work of the lodges tells a wonderful story. To be an Elk a man must be a 100 per cent. American, but no distinctions of class or race or religion are counted. We tworship the flag, it stands for unity, justice, charity and mercy. ab- stract principles, which our flag has made concrete ‘in this world war. Across the waters it carried hope to Belgium, dyed in blood, t6 France, beaten to her knees, and to England, stubbornly fighting with her back to the wall. The entry of our flag spelled victory, with no thought of spoils for ourselves, the white for purity, the blue for fidelity, the red for brotherly love and the stars for hope. We still have work to do if there are those who would desecrate this flag, but the stars of hope will lead us to the thréne Iof God where all will met eas broth- ers and friends. The singing of America concluded the programme. After the exercises, the committee in charge seérved a lunch for the mem- bers of the band in the hall at the Elks home.

SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN TO GO ON FOR ANOTHER DAY Saturday was an interetsing day for the workers in the campaign for funds for suffrage and citizenship work. Reports from state headquar- ters were that the campaign was pro- gressing well. Mrs. Frank Palmer, the chairman for Bozrah, telephoned on Saturday that {t had gone “over the Norwich still has some ways to go as it has been impossible to reach as many people as planned last week and the work of soliciting will continue through Tuesday. However, the chaifman is much pleased with the interest aroused and the new friends obtained. The total to date is $1185.56. C. I Smith contributed the follow- ing reasons for his untiring energy in behalf of the campaign. “What help I am able to give the local branch of the Connecticut Wo- man Suffrage Association is prompted from the same principle by which I decide which candidate to pull the lever for on election day. In the past history of our country some radical changes have been thrown upon us when we were totally unprepared—ftor our eventual good or otherwise. Be- lieving that the time is near at hand when equal suffrage will prevail in our United States of America, what Amerfcanization is of more import- ance than the immediate attempt to develop a sense of civic responsibility among the 350,000 new votes that will probably Dbe added to our state, | through educational pamphlets and meetings that are now being planned by the state leaders in this move- ment. This is one purpose for which this campaign is being waged in Connec- ticut. The model princivle of casting our ballot on clection day is that the election result may accomplish the greatest good for the city or people. In the same line of réasoning, it appears desirable to spread abroad the knowl- edge of those principals and the feel- ing of that: kind 6f responsibility, while ratification of the amendment s being reached among our individual states This is what the campaign stands for; this is my interest, this is the in- terest of our men’s team of workers.

Joseph F, Cobb preached an in- teresting and inspiring sermon oh “-Our Banners.” ~ The sermon was in_commemoration of the making of the first American flag as Saturday was® the anniversary of Flaz Day. follows: Every American citizen is pledged o respéct and salute the national fiag. Children in the common schools are taugh true allegiance. Every American, it he respects himseif, must say, “In the name of God we will set up our banne ‘We have heard the question aeked several times lately. What are Ameri- cans? We naturally thin -of those born in the eountry from eitizens of America. We must not forget the multitudes who have come here from other countries. Those who have adopted this land as their land, have passed a satisfactory eamination and pledged allegiance to this country and to the ideals for which the Ameriean flag stands. There are t6day in the citizenship of this country peoplé from very many lands, and thete are chil- dren in our public schools from almost every known land. What a lesson this fact alone shoud impress upon the minds of people. It speaks the message of brother- hood, and remfinds us of our obligations to one another. It reminds us that though many, all are children of One Father. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birth of the American flag. And as we think of it again, think of the various people who are living under its_protection. The Philadelphia Public Ledger some two years ago published this long since was item: “A flag not faised over the Jamestown worsted mill. From the owners of the mill it- self I learn, The flag was made of wool from American sheep, sorted by an Ameri- can, carded by an Italian, spun by a Swede, warped by a German, dressed by an Englishman, drawn by a Seoteh- man, woven by a Belgian, supervised by a Frenchman, inspected by an American, scoured by an Albanian, dyed by a Turk, cxamined by an Irishman, pressed by a Pole. Where else could this be true except in the “land of the free and the home of the brave?” We do not know, no one of us can hope to estimate the price paid, in de- votion, in blood and heroic sacrifice, for the birth of our beloved nation, and the flag whose emblem of loyalty, lb- erty, love for mankind it is, the noblest symbol born in the civil histery of mnkind. It is for us and for all those who enjoy the hospitality of these shores, to bear it where heaven de. creed it to go—side by side with the Christian flag and emblem of the iove of the holy cross, to be the canguard of a civilization dedicated to freedom and justice, and consecrated to hu- manity and God. « Today that flag waves unsullied over the waters of the seven seas and in the. foreign harbors of the world. As it waves over land and sea it speaks eloquently of the heavy sacrifices re- quired to place it in our heavens and to keep it there. It speaks {n em- phatic and yet poetic language of pa- triotism, purity, honer, noble motive, lofty ideals, liberty and love. 7These all are truths and sentiments symbo- lized in our flag. /This banner next to the cross of Christ, is the highest symbal known to men, weights with broad significance and so “attractive with loveliness of assured well be- ing. There is but one flag allowed to be placed above the American flag that fs the Christian flag. Citizens of Christ's kingdom on earth have a flag that has an acknowledged right to float above the nation's flag. On Sunday in the American navy the national flag is raised to the mast- head and then dipped to allow the banner of the cross to take its place. The psalmist said “Thou hast given & banhae to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth.” The churech of Christ, in all its different branches, not divi- sions. is the only and only ofganiza- tion of the Kingdom of God on earth; as the Government of the United Btates of America is the organiza- tion of Democraey. Our flag stands for democracy. Within a few days the senaté of the United States passed the equal rights bill for the several states to ratify or reject equal suffrage for women and men. There are those who wish it. and there are those who are opposed to it. But it s evidently sure to come. The one flag symbolizes protection for and demnds allegiance from all regardless of sex. In a letter receiv- ed recently the writer said, “equal &uffrage for the 350,000 women of the State of Connecticut is brought very near by the passage of the Federal amendment. How may these new citizens be further prepared for the new responsibilities of voting?’ It is recognized that there must be devel- oped patriotic women with 4 high sense of civil responsibility. The price of true democracy is a clear under- standing of eivic responsibility in each individual. There must be an eéducated womanhood. In this state.a great task awaits the citizenship (n giving proper en- lightenment and educdtion to the wo- men. We are told that 38 per cent. of the women of this state are of native parentage; 24 per cent. are of foreign or mixed parentage, 38 per cent. are foreign born. Thus it is forcibly brought to our attention, how the mighty forces, play- ing upon the hearts and minds of the peoples of Burope make it vitally im- portant that a correct knowledge oOf the orderly processes by which de- sired changes may be brought about, shall be imparted. In the words of another: “If democracy is worth the blood we have spilt for it and we mean actually to make it a reality, we need to make every man and woman a good citizen. The recent war revealed the fact that an appalling proportion of the ¢lectorate is illiterate. Something needs to be done and done righ away to give enlightenmen and a working education to both men nd women that they may becoms better citizens, Men and women need better edueation, for and educated fatherhood nd mother- hood means educated children, and the mother's influence goes deep into the child life. And when we think of the millions of children we all once realize the great necessity for proper instruc- tion and guidance of if we are to maintain a stable government. When our banners the children are given 1y 80 years ago she was united in mar~ riage with Frank H, Clark, a native of Norwich.

Chas. Slosberg & Son « 3 COVE STREET great opporunities fo advnancement. "While thinking of the record of the valedictorian this year at the Acade- my, how she walked each day four miles tv the trolley and four - miles home again from the trolley at Yan- tic, and did not mis a day for four years, yet led her class, it showed what can be accomplished by those who desire an educatiom. Our banner stands for noble oppor- tunity. The idéal of our land is for each child to have a good helpful ud- ucation. There is of course such a thing as education, or culture, that is singly selfish. One may acquire ed- ucation for his own emplayment, as soras one else may acquire wealth for his own enjjoyment or delight! or power for his own aggrandizement. He who heaps up wealith or honors or culture for his own glorification s selfish. It is a great and fine thing to secure an education, if one does so for the sake of being useful. It is al- 50 fine to secure physical strength of one intends to use his strength for the assistance of those who are weak and for the advaneing of what is right and good. If one wishes to be useful, the more of an eduction he secures the better, and the more physical strength e develops the more noble and help- ful he will be. But ail the education and physical health in the world will not make one great ot noble if his heart and aim are selfish. Our flag again stands for the gospel of freedom. A classmate reminds me that when that when that eminent publicist and economic agitator, Mr. Henry George was a candidate for mayor of New York city, he was ask- ed to speak before a great crowd of workingmen. = The chairman of the meeting introduced Mr. George, pr ing him as “the friend of the working- man.” When Henry George arose to speak, there was great applause. But his first words spoken vary - quiely, were: “I am not the friend of the workingman,” and there was an al- most threatening silence over that vast assemblage, but the speaker continued: “I am not the friend of the capitalist,” and he paused again. as if gathering strength of some for the utterance of this mighty truth: “I am the friend of man, s ian whether he be rich or poor, without rezard to clase, caste, color, creed or condition,” and that mighty audencei broke forth nto tumultuous and prolonged ap- Dplause. 5 Someone says the réd of your fiag stands for the blood of heroes from Bunker Hill and San Juan and now we might add many places in I'rance: its white for our ideals, its Diue for our hopes.and the hopés of humanity: | and its stars for constancy and truth; | that, whether floating uver white, black, red or yellow men, they ehall have the same’ protection that wa en- | joy, the right to life, liberty und the | pursuit of happiness, and that thev| shall have the best goverament on the earth 80 far as form = concerned. Thus it is seen clearly that every per- son dwelling in this land should so stand behind our flag that the hooes of mankind may be realized, and that they may have what you and I ¢n- Jjoy, the gpportunity to make ourselves better men and batter women. Let us for a foment think of the banner of which we have made mention. the Christian flag, or the| church flag. Ths flag reminds us of | the great love and service of our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ, for mankind.| It reveals infinite love. Greater love hath no men than this that a man lay down his life for his friend. Americans feel safe in any part of | the world under the shadow of the | American flag. They rejjoice to see it fioat in a foreign land. But there is no foreign land to the banner of Christ for although all countries do not accept Christ as the Saviour the Kingdom of Christ is for all nations, east and west. Jesus has been com- missioned to reach the whole world with the gospel message. He will do it. The banner of Christ s cosmopoli- tan. The church of the living God is Catholic, that is, Universal; not re- stricted to any organization, nor to any nation. The field of the church is the world. Today the church is face to face with great tasks due to| the changing order of the world. The| embiem of love however has not been {lowered but lifted higher and placed more firmly as men have been brought to a reaization of the significance, place and meaning of the church in |the world. The emblem of love and sacrifice proclaims boldly to the world the coming of the Kingdom of God. ‘Under this banner we may fee secure |anywhere. . Under this banner nations may dwell together in peace. | 8t Patrick's School Graduation. | The graduation exereise sof St. Pat- | \rick’s parochial school are to be held on Sunday evening, June 29. } A A S It ism't the rent & man pays that keeps him moving. “BASE DOES IT. ‘When your shoes pinch or your cotns A e R NI R It may be yours if you grasp| 3ty uils U ik 8150 ¢ and Weekapaugh—ADG:53, 8:45, A, M.; 12:45 and hourly until 7:45 Alter July 1st, 8:45 until 10:45 P M, Leave Weekapaugh for Phuu?
