Lincoln. March 2. (Special,) An
article entitled. "Rome Heads the
American Legion." published Su The
Protestant at Washington. 1). C. has
brought a quick reply from Han
ford MaeN'iiler. commander of the
legion. In his letter to the editor,
Mr, MaeNider declared that his re
ligious artiliaiions are of no considera
tion in the legion,
"This country was formed by men
who sought religious tolerance, and
it is that spirit which has made it
free, fine and worth living in." the
legion commander wroie. "I happen
to be a Protestant and attend a
Protestant church, but at member
of many Masonic bodies, In which I
have taken a more or less active part,
I have great admiration for that in
stitution, the Koman Catholic rhnrcli.
lis stand and teachings for the pre
servation of the integrity of our law
ful government were well exempli
fied in the heoric deaths of the men
who served in my command. And
might 1 add that the chaplains of that
faith gave a human touch to their
splendid service that made them be
loved by all Jew, Protestant and
Catholic alike,
"The American Legion is an or
ganization of returned service men
and women holding together in an
endeavor to continue their service to
their country, in peace as well a in
war, as constructive citizens. Re
ligion in legion membership is no
more a question than it is in Ameri
can citizenship, nor can it be brought
into legion affairs. It was not a
question when a man stepped out to
join the colors and to defend his'
country. It will never be a ques
tion in our service as legion men.
"Such propaganda as you are
spreading is a menace to America
and America's institutions: How a
man worships his God is his own
business and not yours."

AUDITORIUM
MARCH 13th to 18th
Cars of Economy, Service, Accessibility
The real post-war developments will be in evidence at the 1922
show. There will be new cars never displayed in Omaha before.
The new improvements tend to more economical operation of the
car; more mileage, better operation even with the low grade fuel
of today. Parts and accessories are more accessible. Maintenance
by the owner is simplified. The construction is sturdier. All in all,
the 1922 car is one of greater economy and greater service. You
can learn why in the easiest and quickest manner at
The Midwest Greatest Automobile Exhibition
And the passenger cars are only one feautre of this great display.
Commercial vehicles will interest the farmer and the business man.
The large accessory section is always thronged with car owners
and dealers who are interested in the new developments. Tom
Brown's "Orchestra of Smiles" will play afternoons and evenings.
Decorations are the most unique yet attempted. Special railway
fares for the out-of-town visitors will draw thousands. The many
features will make the, Seventeenth Annual Show the most
interesting one in years.
