THE AMERICAN LEGION OUR returned service men of this city have been granted a charter for a post of the American Legion to Ire known as the Theodore Roose velt post number 30. The following named officers have been chosen: Dr. Amos B. Madison, chairman; Earl' Wheeler, vice chairman; Rufus Ix>ng, secretary; Benjamin Slaughter, as sistant secretary; Andrew Reed, cor responding .secretary and Cecil B. Wilkes, treasurer. The organization of the post is well under way and a special effort is being made to in duce all colored men of this city and vicinity who were in the service foi ev^n one day to join this post of the American Legion. Special permission was granted by the Roosevelt family to designate this post in honor of the illustrious Theo dore. That permission was granted in a letter which is framed and hangs beneath the picture of the late Mr. Roosevelt, which was presented to the post by Mr. S. S. Caldwell, a promi nent financier of this city. The pur pose of the activities of the Ameri can Legion is well expressed in the motto of the organization which is Policies—Not Politics.” This places us in the country in such a position that we may ask and eyen demand that certain features of the govern ment be most thoroughly eradicated and that yet newer provisions for the betterment of the country be adopted. It is not the purpose of the American Legion to endrose or denounce any particular candidate for any partic ular office. That is the business of political parties, which the American Legion distinctly is not as is evid enced by the preamble to the pro visional constitution adopted in the1 St. Louis conference. “For God and country we associate ourselves together for the following purpose: “To uphold and defend the con stitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; j to foster and perpetuate a one hun dred per cent Americanism; to pre serve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; t<> inculcate a sense of individual ob ligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to poster ity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanetifiy our comradeship by our de votion to mutual helpfulness.” The principles laid down in the above quoted motto and preamble hold a message of more nearly demo cratizing the country and eradicating racial differences in this country than has ever before been adopted. Surely no other such organization has ever been in existence which will approach that democratic ideal to which we are all striving as this one. It is the duty of every colored man who saw any service in this past wai to come shoulder to shoulder in the ranks of citizenry by joining the American Legion and to so unite all of his efforts that he may lie, both to himself, his community ami the coun try, a citizen in the fullest sense of the word.

KANSAS FORM’S STATE TENNIS ASSOCIATION (Special to The Monitor.) Parsons. Kan., Sept. 20.—The sec ond annual tennis tournament for Kansas state championship was held under the auspices of the Idle Hour Tennis club of Parsons, September 1. Players representing Coffeyville, Wichita, Independence and Parsons were entered. On account of the large entrance and the late start only the semi-finals were reached. The four left in the semi-finals were the best in the state of Kansas. In the semi-finals Dr. Bell of W'ichi ta was to play Dr. Bowser of Parsons, and Mr. Bias Hunnigan of Coffeyville to play the star of all-comers and the 1919 champion of the Parsons city championship in singles and doubles, Mr. W. M. Gillespie of Parsons. All the matches before the semi finals were closely contested and some rare form shown. In doubles Parsons showed exceptional form and defeated their opponents in easy fashion. After the tournament a Kansas state association was formed, the offi cers being as follows: Dr. E. E. Bow ser, president; Dr. Bell, vice president; Prof. Whittaker, secretary; Dr. Davis, treasurer. FOR EqCAL RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS Interstate Commerce Committee Re quested to Remove Discriminations Against Colored Passengers. (By Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 23.—Facili ties for Colored passengers equal to those provided for whites on interstate railroads, the elimination of “jim crow” cars and the removal of dis crimination against Colored passen gers, was advocated before the Inter state Commerce committee consider ing the railroad control bill. George H. Murray, representing the National Negro Racial association, urged an amendment to the Esch-Cummins bill which w'ould guarantee Negro inter state travelers the same treatment as accorded white passengers on rail roads in all states in the union. Trunk line carriers in the south as well as short lines, Murray said, had suffered serious financial loss because of dis crimination against the Negro trav eler. Lucky for Grandms. Grandmother always reproved her grandchildren by telling them how much for the worse children had changed since she was a child herself. One day she was scolding her nine vear-old grandson for spending his pennies instead of saving them. "Now when I was your age," she said, “I had a whole laink full of pennies. P.itying candy was a holiday, not an every-day affair." Fred si ill eyed his pennies, “Grand mother." lie said, quite respectfully, “isn’t It 'lucky for you that none of us were alive when you were young?" A Word of P . dance. "If you musi he a musician, my shn, learn to play the piano," "Why. father?” “Then when you are engaged with an orchestra yon can turn your hack on the room and • ou’t have to look at the dancing.” | Lincoln Department j Mrs. W.
