The Flag Goes Br—nats 01!!
Director Robert C. bombing of the
Department of Americanisation. has
sent to the New Haven Council of
Boy's Scouts for distribution 7.000
copies of this poem. Such distri-
bution has been made in other cities
and the results prove almostnzon-
clusively thatthe lack of courtesy
shown the flag is tram ignorance of
custom only.
Along the street there cornea
A. blare a bugles. a rattle of drums.
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off! the flag is passing by.
Blue and crimson and white it shines.
Over the steel-tipped ordered lines.
Hats off! the colors before us fly
But more than the flag is passing by.
Scpfights and land-fights; grim and
greet,
Fought to make and to save the
State.
Weary marches and sinking ships.
Cheers of victory on dying lips;
Days of plenty and years of peace.
March or a. strong land switt in-
crease.
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;
Sign of a nation. great and strong
To ward her people from foreign
wrong. .
Pride and glory and honor—all.
Live in the colors to stand or fall:
Hats offlalong the street there comes
A blarc of bugles, a. ruffle of drums,
And icyal hearts are beating high.
Hats off! the flag is passiiw by. .

Earning to date indicate that. the

year. Statement follows:
"Jordan sales and profits have
increased every month since the
first of the year.
"The Jordan company did not
overload its dealers with automobiles
during the winter period. Jordan
dealers had only half as many cars
in stock on the first of June as they
bad_ one year ago. Factory produc.
tion was coastsntly kept below.
dealers‘ deliveries.
“The second hand stocks in the
hands of Jordan dealers are lower
than in any year at any period or
the company's history.
"Dealers have made more money
because sales have not been forced.
heavy stocks have not been allowed
to accumulate and trading has not
been imperative.
“Since the Jordan company started
eight years ago there has been a
gradual increase in production. and
since this original ‘policy will be
continued it is quite certain that the
last half of the year will show re-
sults equally favorable.

NO ROOM FOR THE SENATORS.
(New Haven Register.) ’
iThe people OIIConnectlcut pro-
foundly resent the failure or their
senators to stand by President
Coolidge on the bonus. issue. Various
organizations throughout the state
have expressed their disapproval of
this action in unmistakable terms.
Already a. move is under way tore-
plsce the next retiring Senator with
one of the present Congressmen who
fearlessly sustained the
Senators Brande-gee and McLean
have become a liability to the Re-
publican organization in Connec-
tlcut.
Republican senators whose sup-
port of the Republican administra-
tion was so lamentably weak merit
little consideration among their con-
stituents. In making arrangements
for the Republican spate convehtioa
next fall. it would be the part of
wisdom to leave the United states
senators entirely off the program.
It they take any share in the fourth
coming political activities in the
state_ they cannot helfi but injure
the chances of the Republican party
for success. The whole state watch-
ed them in the bonus matter. It
saw them twice repudiate the earn-
est counsel of the head of their
party. It was amazed by their con-
duct. It has no desire to see them
given any place or honor in state
political affairs.
