consider that lie cannot be a loyal
member of earh at the fame time.
In Joining the American Legion he Is
not obligated to take up arms at any
time. The legion la composed of e
Btrvice men, and Is in no srnse or
ganized lor milady rervice of any
kind. No officer cf the legion has
the light i j 'iidti cut" any legion
naire, and he'd g-t the horse-laugh
If he tried It.
As a private ciilzcn, a member of
the American legion may also be a
deputy sheriff, a constable, a chief of
police or other ollicer of the law. lie
cannot be an army officer and a
member of the legion at the name
time. As Individual!, members of
the Legion have the name rights as
members of labor unions.
What the Legion Btands for may
best be seen In the preamble to the
constitution of the organization:
'For God and Country, we associ
ate ourselves together for the follow
ing purposes: To uphold and de
fend the Constitution of the United
' States of America; to maintain law
and order; to foster and perpetuate
a one, hundred per cent American
Ism; to preserve the memories and
Incidents of our association in the
Ggreat World War; to Inculcate a
sense of individual obligation 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 pro
mote peace and good will on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to poster
ity the principles of justice, freedom
and democracy; to conservate and
sanctify our comradeship by our de
votion to mutual helpfulness."
It Is regrettable, but true, that
there are some fool legionnaircR.
just as some union men are c trumps.
Some leglonnnlres Hy oft tho handle
and co wild, just as in time of strike
some union n i m i mny resort to dyiui-1
mite when their comrades are
ntainst It. The Legion as a whole
can hardly be hld responsible for
the acts of a few irresponsible mem
bers or posts, or the unions for te
mouthlngs or actions of a few ultra
radicals. ,
In this connection, the American
Legion Weekly has the following to
n y :
"S veral months ago wide clvi u'a
tion was given news dispatches
chronicling the activities of a f v
scattered Legion Tosts, or groups rf
men acting in the name of tie
legion, which had. overstepped the
grounds of proper conduct in the
treatment of so-called rnt'rils.
There were a scant half score of
Posts Involved, yet for the tliu be
ing they commanded as mun
In the newspapers, probably, and
attracted as much attention ,i all
the rest of tho 9,000 odd Fosta of
the Legion combined. It wn Inevit
able that the circulation of these dis
patches should leave In the rit'ids of
the public, and in the minds of pome
newspaper editors, the Impression
that The American Legion was an
organization which had taken upon
itself the censorship of speech a.:d
social activity and would If necessary
resort to militancy to enforce Its
policy. It was Inevitable that there
after the name of the Legion should
be linked with further similar In
stances. And It was inevitable that
the enemies of The American Legion
should seize the golden opportunity
and systematically spread the propa
ganda that the Legion was a hldo
bon.'.t. irt'tervative organisation in
tolerant of new or progressive social
ideas of any sort. The Legion still
is suffering from the impression thus
created. ,
"National headquarters of the
Legion tiled strenuously to counter
act the effect of this wave of pub
licity. It explained that the much
heralded acts of the few offendir.;:
Posts did not represent the nttl.ndi
of th- n!lie Legion end that Hi
ads were d'sapp roved anil regret'el
by the organization as a whole. Put i
explanations ncvtf entirely accoui-
pllshed their purpose. The ham.
had been done, and It could not b'
immediately repaired. Since tl en
the Legion has been doing pewr
for the many-tlmes-magnlfled pins of
a few of Its members."
As life becomes more complicated
th need of s lMmfriderlng garments
becomes Increasingly apparent.
It is reported that four of the ex
kaiser's nephevts have gone to work.
In time they may become real en.
The vital statistics showing 25,000'
recent deaths from typhus in Kiev
may explain why the poles got out.

money for you while you decide the wjisest disposition of it.
The prosperity of progress! veness'of any community is measured by the
total of its bank deposits. The Arderipan system of finance incorporates the
idea of "placing your ready money in a bank" as a fundamental principle.
