Old Glory will pass through the streets of Omaha today, as it will through all the cities of the United States, because this is a day set apart on which to honor the flag of our country. It will not be a perfunctory observance this time, nor the thoughtless ceremony of time servers. Tt will be the sincere devotion of earnest men and women to the emblem of their country, They will look beyond the symbol to the thing sym- bolized, and by their presence today will dedi- cate themselves to its service, and through it to the service of mankind, This is a time when patriotism is being awakened under the stress of conditions, and the people are seriously thinking of what citizenship really means. Its duties and sacrifices are being considered now, as well as its privileges and advantages. When the flag goes by today hats will come off with more of reverence than ever before, because it is good to be permitted to live under it, and it is also good to be permitted to die for it, if need be. — Omahs a Growing Town. Every stranger coming to Omaha naturally forms impressions of the city which he carries away with him and which we are always curious to hear through the regularly propounded ques- tion, “How do you like our city?" The visitor who has been here before can draw comparisons which are still more edifying, as witness this comment taken from a letter received, in the course of business, by one of our principal mer- cantile houses after the writer of it had returned to his home in another wide-awake city: “I certainly did notice that Omaha is grow- ing and that it is getting to be a first-class town. As a matter of fact, I haven't recovered yet from my surprise. My host took me around everywhere, and I had an awful hard time recognizing old Omaha as I used to know it from what Omaha is now. In fact, most of the time I was completely bewildered and couldn't get my bearings at all, in spite of the fact that I thought.l used to know Omahs pm!!hwell. “The way you have been crowding to the front and beautifying your city is amazing. You have far more pavement than we have, and you have done far more to take advantage of what little natural beauty you have to build up a city which I find attractive in the extreme, “I think 1 was pretty much everywhere in your city, and was very much struck with the number of fine homes which you have. Cer- tainly the signs of wealth and refinement are apparent everywhere, and I got something of a jolt. I think T will have to confess that my mental attitude has been s sort of compassion for people who had to live in Omaha, but I am absolutel puy.nd to make the most emphatic apol or whatever 1 may have thokurht in the past, for you certainly have a corking town,” b Although names are withheld, the significance of this tribute to Omaha must not be \lost for it is not so much the letter that counts as the testimony to Omaha's growth and progress which will be constantly borne by the observer when- ever Omaha becomes the topic of discussion with- in his hearing, ! Omaha is not only grov'ing but its reputation is growing and its fame as a growing town is being spread by everyone who looks in on us. Senator Stone's Singular Apprehension, Senator Stone of Missouri, chief mouthpiece at St. Louis for President Wilson, goes a long distance to find something to support his opposi- tion to the nomination of Mr., Heghes His ex- pressed apprehension that the supreme court of the United States is liable to be drawn into par- tisan politics is too far-fetched to carry weight. The bistory of the senator’s own party will furn- ish a precedent, if one is necessary. In 1872 a bunch of reactionary democrats seized upon Associate Justice ‘David Davis, then on the su- preme bench, as a candidate to oppose Grant and Horace Greeley, although Judge Davis withdrew after accepting the nomination, and retair *d his seat on the bench. Five years later he took his seat in the senate as a democrat, and to the end of his life acted with that party, being promi- nently mentioned in two campaigns as a candi- date for president. He gave the democrats in the senate great prestige, succeeding Vice President Arthur as presiding officer when Mr, Arthur took the presidential chair. No charge was ever made that Judge Daris dragged the supreme court into politics, Senator Stone's statement shows the desperation to which the democrats are driven in the present campaign. The fact that Mr. Hughes was once justice of the supreme court does not disturb the people at all. They want Hughes for president, and will make the call effective by “their votes, ' RT—— % Bait for the Bull Moose. . Colonel Bryan no' sooner reached St. Louis than he announced himself as proponent of a new treaty of peace, planning to propagate a coalition between the progressives and the democrats, This naturally appeals to the late secretary of state, who would show himself to the world as the champion of his own.scheme for saving his party. He would thereby heap coals of fire on the head of {the president, would confound Roger Sullivan and others of that ilk, and keep Bryan's name But what assurance can he offer the bull moosers that any promise he makes to them in return for their support will be cartied out? Colonel Bryan drew the Balti- more platform, and most solemnly pledged the party to the promises therein cuntained, but the only one the leaders ever tried half-way to re- deem was that of free trade. If the bull moosers permit the peerless leader to seduce them into the democratic camp by his specious appeals, they will show very little political perspicacity. The foresight and wisdom of the designers of the Douglas county court house in providing a fireproof building is more apparent these June days than ever before. The procession of city taxpayers digging up a 30 per cent increase oc- casions a degree of vocal heat that would endan- ger a combustible building. Even the marble and bronze cage of the cashier may require cold stor- age treatment to offset the high temperature of holdup victims. pE— The promptness, thoroughness and ladylike precision’ which marked the launching of the woman's party at Chicago convinces Ida M. Tar- in knowing what to do and how to do it. “The women's party knows exactly what it wants," f in explaining. what might be com- mmmmwm-«w . 1846-47. Several flags of this _says Miss Tarbell, and she decorates a column American Flags of American flags were found in use in the various government departments has actu- ated an executive order, dated May 29, standard- izing the form and size of allour national flags. The fiags, and union jacks, of all departments, with certain exceptions in the army and navy, must now conform to specifications. Taking the hoist, or width, as 1, the fly or length is 1.9; the hoist of the union, 7-13; the fly of the union .76, and the width of each stripe 1-13. There aré, twelve prescribed sizes, from 131 feet to 20 feet hoists, but the 19-foot flag is to be the standard. * ¥ The American flag collections of the United States National museum include some examples of our flag indicative of its deyelopment in sev- eral historical periods, its many changes and its gradual standardization. It is interesting to note that during the revo- lution the flag had thirteen stars; in the war of 1812, fifteen; in the Mexican war, twenty-nine; in the civil war, thirty-five; in the Spanish-Ameri- can war, forty-five, and today forty-eight. The American flag is among the oldest of national flags, being older than the present British Union Jack, the French Tricolor and the flag of Spain, and many years older than the flags of Germany and Italy, some of which, like those of other coun- tries, are personal flags, or those of reigning families. THE fact that some sixty odd sizes and shapes There are no early colonial flags, such as were used by the individual colonies, and militia regi- ments before the flag of the United States was established by congress on June 14, 1777, now celebrated as Flag day. This act required “that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union of thir- teen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation,” but did not define how many goinu the stars should have, how they should e arranged nor make provision for additional ones. The navy immediately adopted this flag, but the army was much slower to act. Representa- tive of early stars-and-stripes type, there is a twelve-star flag said to have been used by John Paul Jones during the war of the revolution. It measures 1034 feet by 614 feet and was {;clented to Lieutenant James Bayard Stafford, U. S, N, on December 13, 1784, by the marine committee of the continental congress as a reward for meri- torious services during the Revolution, coming later to the Smithsonian Institute as a gift from Mrs. Harriet R. Perry Stafford, Another flag of the very highest historic value is the original “star spangled banner” which flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore during the bombardment on September 13-14, 1814, and was the inspiration for Key'd anthem. It now hangs in the rotunda of the new National museum build- ing, where the models in competition for the Key memorial are now on display. This Fort McHenry flld( is of the fifteen stars-and-stripes Wc. adopted by an act approved by President ashington January 13, 1794, which took effect May 1, 1795, after the admission of Vermont and ‘Kemuckg. It measures about thirty feet square, is much battered and torn, with one star missing, but this great historic souvenir has lately been preserved by 1mltmg it on heavy linen cloth, and remains one of the country’s most precious relics. From 1795 this form continued as the standard flag until President. Monroe's administration, when congress enacted that it should thereafter be of thirteen stripes, with the addition of a star for each new state, commencing July 4, 1818, It seems that the army never carried the na- tional flag in battle, though we have record of its use as a garrison flag from about 1787 or 1798, to 1834, until 1846, Bodies of troops carried during this period, and before it, what was known as national colors or standards of blue with the arms of the United States emblasoned thereon, comprising an e:file surmounted by a number of stars and with the designation of the body of troops, as infantry, artillery, etc,, inscribed on a scroll. In'1834 the artillery were given the right of carrying the Stars and stripes, as recorded by the War department regulations, the infantry and cavalry still using the national arms with an added scroll in the eagle's beak bearing the words: “E pluribus unum."' These flages remained the colors of the infantry until 1841, and the cavalry until as late as 1887, when they were ordered to employ the Stars and Stripes. X So many ' styles and forms of the Stars and Stripes flag were in existence in 1837 that certain _forelgn governments found it necessary to make inquiry of this government just what the official flag was, resulting in the publication in 1852 of a careful study of the subject by him who later became General Schuyler Hamilton. . However, it was not until 1912 that very defi- nite specifications were drawn up. Under Presi- dent Taft’s administration representatives of the various government departments conferred on proportions and other details of the national flag, resulting in an executive order dated October 29, 1912, which tended to standardize the Stars and Stripes, and yet further specifications were found necessary only recently. P The history of our flag indicates that the “Stars and Stripes” was not carried by troops in battle until the period of the Mexican war— | eriod are in the museum collections. Among them is a flag of thirteen stripes and stars carried throughout the war by the battalion of volunteers which enlisted from Maryland and the District of Columbia, and the .fllg of Comgnny I, Fourth regiment of Indiana infantry, of thirteen stripes, with an eagle in te field. Ten flags of the collection pertain to the civil war, The garrison flag of Fort Moultrie, S. C., lowered when the command evacuated that fort to assemble at Fort Sumter December 26, 1860; a boat flag flown by Commander Charles S. Boggs, U. S. N, when he left the Gunboat Va- runa, sunk in an engagement between a confed- erate flotilla and the union fleet under Admiral ut below New Orleans, April 24, 1862; a flag of white cloth with painted stars and stripes; headquarters flag of Major General Ben- jamin F. Butler, United States volunteers, flown at Fortress Munroe, Virginia, in 1861; the flag raised at New Orleans by its citizens upon the occupation of the city by the union forces under Major General Butler, May 1, 1862; the remains of the flag carried in the three days’' fight at Salem Heights, Virginia, May 3-5, 1863, when three color sergeants were zilled. though the banner never faltered or fell to the ground; Gen- eral Hazen's garrison flag hoisted at Fort Mc- Allister, Ga., after the surrender of the fort to the union army, December 13, 1864; the flag flown on the United States ship Kearsarge when it sank the Alabama, defiosited in the National museum by Lieutenant Herbert Winslow, son of Rear Admiral Herbert Winslow, commander of the Kearsarge during this action; headquarters flag of Major General E. O. C, Ord, U. S, A, flown in Richmond, Va,, in 1865, and the flag of the First Pennsylvania volunteers, found in the capi- tol at Richmond in 1865 by Major General Ord. Other flags include some from the Spanish- American war, and the followin, mincel&:neonl flags: A flag owned by Admiral Charles Wilkes, U. S, N.; the American colors carried by Rear Admiral i’ngy in his Arctic explorations in 1909; the flag carried by the Smithsonian African ex- Eedmon under the command of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in 1909-10, and many examples of the national ensign which has flown in so many nota- ble engagements and during numerous worthy achievements. : X Uncle's Excuse.

Omaha, June 12—To the Editor of The Bee: Omaha has & number of bubbling water fountains at which one is supposed to be able to secure a drink of running city water. But at many fountsins this is far from be- ing the case. The water instead of gushing out in & clear stream, is in many instances turned on so low that in order to secure a drink one must place his mouth against tulb, Some time ago Omaha abolished publie drinking cup at the fountains for tary reasons, but the sanitary conditions at many of our fountains are as bad, if mot worse, than before, 1t it is impossile to regulate the flow of water at the fountains so that one would have to place his lips against the bulb in taking a drink why not add an attachment by which each individual can turn on the flow of water to suit himself? This latter scheme has proven a success in many of the smaller cities it in- stalled here would pay for itself eventually by the amount of water saved. SAMUEL SLOTKY. The Postry of Shakespeare. Omahs, June 12.—To the Editor of The Bee: This is the year more enlightened, literary folk would keep memory green the 800th anniversary of Shakespeare (or Bacon) ? Hence a description of what poetry is, both ancient and modern, may not be amiss. Aristotle first made an analysis of rhythm and it can be seen in his book, he called it “Rhetoric.” There is nn need of try- ing to give a definition of poetry, as many have tri d failed. Practically it is rhythm and measure or “feet” to the line or verse Just as they “time” in music, which in- cludes both ure bars, and mysic h ically no one can a definition of poetry and the same and be said of music, for the effect of each on the mind cannot be ex- plained in language. To the ancient Greeks and the Latins, their poetry was also the only music that they had. This was made by the numerous vowels in their lan- and because modern ra have so sua; many consonants we cannot even imitate their poetry. Every dyllable to them was long or short'and in the thousands of lines in the poems of Hesiod, Homer, Aenead and others every syllable which they could repeat from memory, line for line, you can see the syl- lables are just so, long and short. They eould use and measure their poetry in those days in seven rhythms, but today we use but four of them in our poetry and in our music we use only two of them unless you want to add the pyrrhic below to account for our recent syncopated, or rag time. That old Greek and Latin poetry was all written in what was called hexamete: se, of a mixture of some four of the seven rhythms. Our hexameter verse is very different, for we do not use long and shorts any more and simply have one mark of accent and that like this, and only for the accented syllables and the others are just not accented, and that is all there s to it nowadays, as ancient poetry was nesrly always about great heroic deeds and e!plol‘l it is called ‘epic. But when Sappho sang to her lyre of love and other passions and feelings, even in the same measure of the rhythms, then her poetry we must eall Iyric. When we speak of epic poetry todsy we mean the verse or line (a verse is & line) that Shakespeare, Milton and Pope wrote in, which is iambic pentameter. 1t is hard to sing-song this verse and hence it is best fitted for deep thought, philosophy and tragedy. It is called heroic verse, for it tells best of her solemn fashion like the peculiar verse to us of mixed mythms and known as ancient hexameter verse. In order to explain the seven rhythms of poetry and the correct writing of all verse we can use the dash—and the capital letter U (— U), which to ancient poetry means long and short, but now w¢ use ony the — or ' over for the un- accented syllables. Of the seven rhythms of poetry below we use now in modern times but the first four, and music uses but the second and the fourth. U — like in alone, called Iambus. ~— U like in onward, called Trochee. U U — like in intgrvene, called Ana- paest. — U U like in delicate, called Dactyle. ~— — like in amen, called Spondee. — U like in endurance, called Am- phijrach. ~— U < like in give me life, called Am- phimacer. U U like in the, called Pyrrhic. The seven measures are as the Greek for numbers from 1 to 7. Thus monometer, or one rhythm to the line or measure only and then dimeter where only two rhythms measures the line and trimeter and tetra- meter and pentameter and hexametér and heptameter, meaning s The plays and the son: are all in one kind of verse, ly iambic pentameter (English heroic) or an iambus, five times to the line and often in couplets of two lines only. Thus take the word alone a8 an iambus, accented on the second syl- Iable and say it five times to the line and you have the verse of Shakespeare. Thus, from “The Merchant of Venice:" “The man that hath no mus Is tit for treasol The motions of his And his affections dark a GEORGE rebus. . WILKINSON. Wooster Will Support Hughes. Silver Creek, Neb., June 11,—To the Ed- itor of The Bee: While I have without ex- ception voted the democratic electoral ticket since and includnig 1896 I shall this year with very great satisfaction vote for Charles E. Hughes and do what I can in a small way to secure his election to the end that the country may be relieved of the intolerable nightmare of having as its chief executive a man who, both by nature and education, is an autocrat in every fiber of his being; a monumental egotist who not only consi himself above the constitution and the law, but immeasurably above the wisest of the 100,000,000 people over whom he lords it as one born to imperil rule; educated to the highest point as the universities go, and yet more destitute of practical sound sense than the common laborer in the shop or on the farm—in short, and in plain United States, an educated fool, granting him, of course, and for the mere looks of the thing the honor of being always actuated by worthy motives.
