Thursday, June 13, ilpS*. CELEBRATE FLAG DAY. The fourteenth of June, which is to­ morrow, is "Flag day," the anniversary of the day when congress proclaimed the stars and stripes as the emblem of ^(vi! the United States, in 1777. By that enactment the flag of the United States was to be composed of 13 stripes, alternate red and white, with 18 stars, white iu a blue field, thus repre­ senting a new constellation among the nations of the earth. This was one year after the declara­ tion of independence, and six years were still to elapse before that flag was to find established recognition. France recognized it, and sent her flag and an army to assist the straggling republic. Holland recognized it, and loaned con- some money to help along, but it not until September, 1783, that Great Britain made the treaty which H I made the flag an emblem of acknow- t»-1' ledged nationality. s;, ; As the years passed and new states , were admitted to the nnion anew stripe and a new 'star was added to the flag with each one until 1818, when it began ' : to be seen that new stripes wonld soon V ? increase the flag to undue proportions. Just before Illinois was admitted con- M gress passed another law' 'that from and after the 4th of July next the flag of the '•fi* United States shall be 18 horizontal > stripes, alternate red and white; that ,"fr the union be 20 stars, white on a blue field, and that on the admission of a new fV state into the union one star be added to the nnion of the flag, and that such addition take effect on the 4th of July . next succeeding such admission." Illinois was the next star to be added, Jnly 4, 1819, and since that time 24 .: «r more have followed. The American Flag association urges that some commemoration be made of the day, and that the flag be given to the breeze from every church edifice, school and public building, and from every private dwelling through the land.

Booksellers report constantly increas- ing sales of "dime novels" and "nickle f** * • novels" of the blood and thunder type boys of tender years. Years ago the | • dugilding and dangerous effects of such >' ' litouratnre upon the impressionable -> minds of growing youth were recog- ft nixed and deplored. Parents kept close , v i *. watch to learn whether their sons were \ 1 taxxning contaminated with such liter- atnre and great pains were exercised to 'j S, s keep boys from filling their minds with it Of recent years not much has been said about such agencies of the slums, particularly In the public press, and parents have not been as solicitous as 5 other parents were in earlier years. It fei seems, however, that they have reason 7 to be quite as fearful. If it be true '4 that the putrid stuff is sold in larger -a quantities than ever before and that the i*. juvenile demands are stimulating the f- production of it, there is good reason for the parents of the present day to be ^ apprehensive about it. Countless, mul- i titudes of young minds have been ruined r by the clandestine perusal of the wretch- V ed stuff, and thousands who might have been the joy and pride of hopeful parents ;' have gone the other path in consequence . of the false views implanted only too firmly in the plastic minds of growing boys by the blood and thunder dime or Vfi' . "nickle novel" trash. One needs not go far to discover the underlying cause of the increased de- mand of the American youth for thin < class of reading matter. It is plainly attributable directly to the thoughtless conduct of many fathers who take into tfi the family circle each Sunday the most corrupting type of reading matter in the form of the widely-circulated yellow journals. Just so long as fathers allow f such publications to engage their own (Vi interest sufficiently to induce them to buy and carry home such miserable ji* trash, just so long may they expect their sons to develop a mental appetite for similar entertainment. What the sen­ sational novel is to the youth the still "§"• more sensational yellow journal is to the parent. And it is not alone the f J boys whose minds are corrupted or per- ; ' vertedithereby. The effects upon female intellects are not one whit less deplor­ able. Every individual before whom is placed such vile matter becomes con­ taminated thereby. The purpose of the yellow journal is not to instruct, nor to amuse, nor to edify, nor to entertain "With wholesome healthy matter. It is to pander to the imagination; to Stimulate unhealthy and morbid appe­ tites. Falsehoods are unblushingly pa­ raded as truths and intention supercedes facts. The primary aim,is to amaze and to shock in order to stimulate sales. Who buys the yellow journal and takes it to his family warms an adder.

There is ample justification tor the claim made by The Chicago Record- Herald that its readers enjoy every day in the week, Sunday included, a news service that is without parallel in range and completeness. The reason is obvious --the combination of the varied and ex­ tensive facilities of the two great dailes. The Chicago Record and The Chicago Times-Herald. In addition to the inde­ pendent news facilities of both papers, The Record-Herald receives the com^ plete news service of The New York Herald, The New York Tribune and The Associated Press; and when it is con­ sidered that its news columns are sup­ plemented by the special features so po­ pular in The Chicago Record and The Chicago Times Herald, it will be seen that The Record-Herald holds a unique place among the great newspapers of the United States.
