Abstract

In the Driftway
July 19, 1933 issue

add to cart   close window

The Society of St. Tammany, better known as Tammany Hall, was organized as a benevolent and patriotic body, and considers itself both to this day. Of its benevolence, at least toward its more outstanding members, there can be no doubt, but since the July 4, 1933, its patriotism has been suspect. For on that day it transgressed the ritual which in recent years the United States Flag Association has been meticulously building up in order that the religion of patriotism may have an appropriate mumbo-jumbo. Foremost is a declaration that the flags should not be hoisted before sunrise and should be lowered at sunset.
