Hanford MacNider Is Guets
of Douglas County Legion
--
Former Commander of Na
tional Organization Warns
Menace to Democratic
Government.
*‘Our country is not young in her
government, as compared to other
nations of the world,” decalred Han
ford (Jack) MacNider, Mason City, la.,
former national commander of the
American Legion, speaking to 600
members of Douglas county post No,
1 Thursday night at a banquet in Hotel
Fontenelle, commemorating tlie eve
of tho sixth anniversary of the en
trance of the United States into the
world war.*
“The democratic government of
America today is older than that of
any of the great nations of the earth.
The forms of administration in those
countries have undergone radical
changes since this nation was born,
a little over 100 years ago. England
at that time was governed by an abso
lute monarchy; today her king Is J
figurehead and the people rule.
France has been a monarchy and a
republic several times during the same
space of time? The government of
Italy has passed from a king to a
handful of patriotic directors. Aus
tria, Hungary, Turkey, China, Mexico.
Japan, Russia and the countries of
South America have ail changed their
system of government and slowly, but
as BUrely, are molding It to fit the
precepts laid down in the construction
of our own United States. "\\ e showed
them the way 100 years ago. America
today stands a veteran in its govern
ment. a monument amid the wreck
of Gillen monarchies and broken
dynasties.”
In his forceful, magnetic, way, M1-.
MaeNider preached the gospel of the
American Legion and explained the
duty of its members.
“The man in >his country who is
sowing the seeds of discord, race and
class enmity, is out of place as an
American and should be deported. All
of us realize the condition as it ex
isted six years ago; today a situation
equally difficult confronts us, and
we must help solve the problem by
influencing public opinion into the
right channels.” t
According to llird Stryker, post
commander, the banquet was one of
the largest ever held in Omaha for
any occasion. The ballroom was
crowded and tho overflow was seated
in private dining rooms.
Gaiety and hilarity marked every
minute of th^ evening's entertain
ment. Jokes, ^uips and catcalls re
sounded whenever some member at
tempted to effange his position in the
room or made a remark.
The guests at the speakers' table
included Hird Stryker, chairman;
Elizabeth Bradford, head of the
nurses' division; Allan Tukey, past
commander; Colonel Upton of the Sev
enth army corps area; Walter Byrne,
past commander; Father Lloyd Hoi
sapple, post chaplain; Col. ,T. H. Hop
kins. Eighty-ninth division; Basil
Hanford MacNlder.
Brewer, general manager of The Oma
ha Beo, and M. E. Head of the veter
ans’ bureau, St. Louis, Mo.
Legion orchestra played during the
dinner and Agnes Britton sang. The
West sisters also offered several
musical numbers. The Canadian
Northwest' Veterans’ band were
guests of the post and played a few
numbers.
"We are glad to be back among our
buddies, those people to the south of
us, whom we respect and admire at
all times but whom we grew to love
during the days across,” said Fran
cois Vernon, manager of the hand
after he was able to be heard above
the applause. “We are glad for two
reagons. Firstly, because both you
and we think the same thoughts, and
secondly, because tho war welded a
feeling between you and us which
years can not sever.”
Mr. Stryker, in acknowledging tho
compliment said that he was sure the
feeling in all American legion posts
towards Canada and its part in the
conflict was the same as the largest
organization of war veterans in tho
United States, Douglas county post.
A similar dinner will be given on
the evening of November 10, the eve
of the anniversary of the signing of
the urmistice.
