day that "IoJ-al American," who in a
communication to The Oregon Ian. said
that there were no' American f lags dis
played in Salem, is mistaken. A flag
has floated over the Supreme Court
building since it was opened a few
months ago, and until the poles were
blown down some time ago, there were
two large flags on the Statehouse. The
Secretary of State is the custodian of
the bulldingand he decided not to un
furl the flags over it again until the
work of remodeling the structure was
completed. This work is near comple
tion and the flags soon will blow over
the building as heretofore.
There has always been a flag on th
Postofflce, and on numerous business
buildings is to be found the emblem of
the Nation.
Mr. Olcott said he was inclined to
think "Loyal American" was not a close
observer, and that if he had saluted
on his recent trip to Salem all the flags
m sight he would have been kept busy
for some time.
