THE FLAG aS AN ASSET.

One of the men who have been
most discussed -in connection with
the South African war is Cecil
Rhodes. Whenever the. pro-Boers
wish to mention a horrible example
of those greedy capitalists whose
lust for gold has dragged Britain
into war with the Boer herdsmen—
this gentle, simple, pastoral people!
—the first name they think of is
that of Rhodes. And why not, for
has he not been guilty of the hein-
donable sin of -growing

ous, unpar
rich?

The last offense of which Mr.
Rhodes has been guilty is that of
speaking of the British “flag as ‘the
greatest commercial asset of the
age.” It is one of the misfortunes
of a business life that if brings us
down from the clouds of enthusiasm
iu which we hail the Union Jack as

‘the flag which braved a thousand |.

- years the battle and the breeze” so
that we regard it in its.<cold,, busi-
ness aspect as “fa commercial .as-
set.” "Mr. Rhodes has been severe-
ly taken to task by an idealist Amer-
ican congressman named Cowherd,

no for verbal pyr h
that the two flags of the Anglo-Sax-
on‘race should be so described. It

of land-lust, the © land-grabbing
spirit of the age.” | Pointing to the
Stars and Stripes, he said:

“I hope the day will never come
when any man can rise in any land
and point to yonder banner-as a
commercial asset.” .

We referred in glowing words to
Washington at Valley Forge, Jack-
son at New Orleans, Grant before

_peroration:

“And, Mr. Chairman, if the day

its folds should be dyed in the blood
of the men we killed and conquered,
and from yonder ground of blue
you should take every star that rep-
resents an independent state.” (Ap-
plause on the Domocratic side.)

This is a beautitul philippic, but
before utterly condemning Mr.
Rhodes and his.commercial asset,
let us see how he has used the Brit-
