Now, as in all probability the Kilties were intoxicated when they did the foolish not, they might have been alloWed to go after giving a promise that they would return the flag, and apologize to the owner. But they did neither, and doubtless left the court room feeling that their dis- play of patriotism (2’) was quite the proper thing. The lawyer who handled the case for the Highlanders said to the Colonel: “There are too many of those American flags flying around,” and the latter apparently agreed with him. How many Ameri- can flags should there be allowed ? Everybody knows that there are hundreds of American flags “stuck up” all over this country. If it is against our laws, why do we allow them to fly? And if it is illegal, then the task of taking down the flmgs should be performed by police- men or men in authority, and not by intoxicated individuals. But it is not illegal to hoist a foreign flag here. Similarly, the Canadian flag is often seen flying in the United States. It is true our emblem is sometimes torn down across the linesrbut always by the rowdy element. No true Ameri- can will ever treat our flag with disrespect, and no true Canadian need worry at the sight of an occa- sional foreign flag such as the propri- etor of the Alexandra Hotel raised on his own balcony. As Canadians we may resent an insult, but we must be careful not is mete out a measure which we are not prepared to have meted against us. Our reverence and respect for our own flag should lead us to respect the flags of other people, and our loyalty should aiways be tempered with that sanity which distinguishes a moderate sin/Li broad-minded peo- ple. in our any: of thinking in is During the first week of the To- ronto Exhibition another foolish‘and unnecessary incident» occurred. Ac~ cording to the published reports of several of the city papers, two High- lunders‘who were returning from the Exhibition grounds shortly before midnight, seeing an American flag entwined with a Canadian flag at the top of the verandah of the Alex- andra Royal Hotel, climbed up, and, in the presence of a number of people, tore the American flag‘down and carried it away. On the day following, the offenders received sum- monses to appear in court to answer for their conduct the night before. The affair, however, seems to have been considered trifling in the eyes of Colonel Denison, who tried the‘ case in the police court. One of the‘ Colonel‘s first questions was, "What did they have an American flag struck up there for, anyway ?" There are getting to be too many "flag incidents" in this country, par- ticularly in Toronto. Only a few months ago many of the citizens and some of the newspapers were very much excited when it was reported that a Tally-Ho load of Americans were trailing a Union Jack in the dust. But with all their excitement and boasted love for “the old flag" neither policeman nor anybody else had thecourage to stop the carriage and endeavor to learn why the British flag. was being insulted. The police- men declared they had no authority to interfere in the matter, and the most that the Mayor had to say about it was that if_ such a thing'occurred again he would inquire into the mat- ter. A day or two afterwards the statement was accepted by all that the occupants of the Tally-Ho had ofl’ered no insult, and that the Union Jack had been tied to the conveyance by some of the young newsboys. Thus the incident ended. RICHMOND HILL. ONT” “@112 fiihml.‘ FLAG INCIDENTS. TU 1mm ‘1.
