"The Days Of Real Sport"

Lovers of good sport like good
sport, sport that is fair and square
and absolutely on the level. Any
thing else is and should be frowned
out of court by the fans who like the
game for itself.
The local basket ball league teams
are evidently in for something of
controversy over eligibility rules. ana
the scrap, if not prevented, threatens
70 disrupt the league. 1t would be
deplorable if this should happen. not
only because the league games furn-
ish entertainment and zest to the
winters activities, but more because
it is childish to take ones toys and
60 home il one can't play in his own
way.
The Twilight baseball league got
into similar difficulties last summer
and one team left in disgust. thus
throwing the whole league out OF
balance. Such school boy peevish-
ness is out of place in athletics of
any sort, and especially if the men,
bers of the league are men who are
old enough to know and do better.

Detroit Unions and the American
Legion

Legion
Boston Herald.)
The action tf the Detroit Automobile
workers in requiring all members of the
American Legion who are now affiliated
with their union to resign from the le-
gion within 30 days. is something which
organized labor throughout the country
ought not to countenance. It is quite
true that members Of the legion have
been active in the cause of law and or
der. and that their aggressive antipa-
thy to bolshevism has not been con
cealed. But they are not unfriendly to
the interests Of organized labor, and,
indeed, the legion's membership is large
ly drawn from the ranks Of men who
work with their hands.
One Of the reasons given for the ac-
ton of these Detroit Automobile Work
ers is that the ex-service men have been
active in breaking strikes" including
the strike Of the Boston policemen. That
reason will hardly command the ap-
proval of public opinion hereabouts, nor
Is 1t likely to do so in other parts of the
country. The leaders of the American
Federation of Labor are we'll aware
that they burned their fingers by hav-
ing anything to do with this Boston po-
lice episode. and they are quite willing
to let the whole affair be forgotten No
good end can be served by dragging it
forth once more as basis of complaint
against the returned service men.
II the labor organizations of the
country should venture. in any consid-
cradle number, to follow the lead Of
these Detroit exclusionists, they will do
injury to their own cause Some years
ago the attempt was made in certain
New York cities to debar from member
ship in the unions all those who were
enlisted in the national guard but this
plan never got very far Public opinion
recoiled from the support Of any such
doctrine as this action embodied. Mem
bers of labor uniors have insisted that
no man shall be Disseminated against
because Of such membership. and in
many Of the states the law has forbid
den such discrimination The rule
should work both ways

Hitehsd to Dynamite

This report that the automobile
workers unions have notified such
Of its members as belong to the
American Legion that if they are to
continue to be members of the union
they must give up membership in the
Legion indicates that the radicals
boring from within" the unions are
still on the job. Union labor has in
the past included in its membership
common sense and sterling manhood.
In view Of this it is hard tosunder-
stand why the counsel of the reds
has so prevailed. There is an old
saying that il calf be given suffi-
cfent rope he will tie himself, but that
is not when the other end Of the
rope is hitched to dynamite. The la
Dor union has been altogether too
useful to merit such a fate as seems
to impepd.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1919-12-30

Some win recall apprehensions
that were expressed during the war
the. probable attitude Of
the returned warriors when the con.
flict should end.
1t has been the custom Of the
American soldier at the close Of the
strife to return and take up the civic
duties with more Of energy and
breadth Of vision than shown by the
citizen who had not like experience.
It was so after all our previous wars
and the optimistic were Of the opin-
ion this last war would not be an ex-
ception. Events are justifying that
optimism. -
The great capacity for either good
or for mischief is there and recog-
:nized from the first. tho fact Of in
terest now being that recognition fs
accompanied by earnest effort ON the
part Of the best minds among civil
ians as also among members Of the
American Legion. Judged by his
public utterances Commander D'Olier
is an official measuring up to the
needs, sane and strong.
1t was especially gratifying to note
from the first that the animating
spirit of the returned soldiers was
both virile and practical; that it was
not cajoled nor intimidated; that
having seen something of the dregs
of European civilization "close up"
the soldier had no disposition to con-
tinue the acquaintance; that among
their own people the veterans had
little tolerance for bolshevik propa-
gandists. either frowzled or per-
fumed, for profiteers either capitalis-
tic or labor federated. That they
should lack patience in considering
un- American tendencies is not to be
wondered at. Indeed there are a lot
of us who believe liberal coats Of tar
and feathers are merited. but-and
this is tremendous "BUT"-the
maintenance Of law and order are as
necessary to the life Of our govern
rnent as the air and water to human
life.
Commander DOlier has done well
to make public his recognition Of this
very essential fact. We hope and be-
lieve the members Of the Legion, ac-
quainted as they are with the funda-
mentals Of doing big things, will heed
the advice he has given.
We have abounding faith in the
American Legion.

Of his remarkable restoration to
health. Mr.. Weyburn said:
For the past two years or more /
have not been in very good health. I
have not been sick, exactly, but have
been all out of shape and gradually
going down hill. I was all run down
intensely nervous and in a general
debilitated condition.
Il felt tired and worn out most of
the time and by 10 o'clock in the
morning I would feel like 1 would not
be able to get through my days
work. My digestion was poor and 1
was always bilious and constipated.
I was also restless at night. and
rolled and tossed without much real
sleep. and would get up in the morn
ing almost as tired as when l went to
bed the night before. In fact, l was
just about as badly run down as a
man could get to keep on his feet. 1
had no appetite scarcely and was
getting thinner and weaker all the
time.
This is just the condition l was in
when first heard Of Tanlac. After
taking about one-half of a bottle of
this medicine, I began to notice a
great improvement in my condition
My appetite returned and 1 began to
sleep better. and when 1 would get up
in the morning l could go about my
work With a vim and energy I had
not had in months.
Il can now do hard days work
without feeling tired out all the time
in fact, every organ of my body
seems to be in fine shape, and am a
well man.
Tanlac is certainly a wonderful
medicine. and tell my friends about
it all the time. Since seeing what il
has done for me, several of my
neighbors have commenced taking it
and everybody out our way is talking
about it,"

Editors Letter Box
No Hiding Of Light Under , ausb.I


Augusta, Dec. 26, 1919.
Editor of the kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir:
VIII you after or before reading
this letter please chuck it into Your
waste basket for there is possibil-
ity that if it should by chance find
its way into the Editors letter box
that a little good might result from
1t. 1t is possible that many Of our
good citizens might be convinced
thereby of the fact that it would be
better if they would put the numbers
of their houses in conspicuous
place where they could be seen from
the street instead of having them on
the front door where they are covered
up and hid from view all summer by
a screen door and all winter by a
storm door. This making it very in
convenient many times for their
friends and others to find them. For
the seven years of experience that 1
have had in riding every day with u
doctor through the street of this city
have afforded me the opportunity of
knowing the amount of trouble and
perpleXity that he has experienced
hundreds of times in finding the
number of the house that he had re-
ceived a call over the phone to visit.
Many are the times that have
known him to get out of the sleigh,
wallow through a big wall of snow,
climb the front steps and open the
storm door. only to find it was the
wrong number. Doubtless all other
doctors meet with the same expert
ence. And now as we have started
in on one more winters campaign
with it's unnecessary aggravations. let
us all do what little we can to darken
the corner where we are and try the
patience of our friends. Otherwise
our friends may find out how public
spirited we are and how very
thoughtful we are for the happiness
and wellbeing of others. So now
please put this letter out Of sight the
same as people do their numbers
where it will be of no service to any
one and l will thank you.

LAW AND ORDER
Their Maintenance a Fundamental
Principle Of the American Legion.

Iheir Maintenance a Fundamental
Principle Of the American Legion.
Waterville, Me, Dec. 29.-(SpeciaD
Franklin D'Olier, national COM
nlander of the American Legion, in a
communication to the Maine Branch,
received today by Sergt. James l..
Boyle of this city. the adjutant,
states that on several occasions re-
Gently the attention of. the National
Commander has been called to ac-
tivities reported in some instances to
be attributed to members of the
American Legion which makes it i'm
perative that the policy of the Ameri-
can Legion with respect to its stand
on the maintenance of law and order
be defined.
This is necessary in order that in
our Jealous efforts toward the ac-
complishment of the principles set
forth in our constitution. we may
proceed in a manner consistent with
the responsibilities which our great
power entails" says Commander
D'Olier in his communication.
In our efforts to protect our coun-
try from foes within, insistence upon
the maintenance of law and order
and the fostering and perpetuating
of 100 per cent Americanism are two
of the fundamental principles of the
American Legion" continues the
communication.
We are members of an organiza-
ton which is already recognized
throughout the country as a great
champion of pure Americanism and a
mighty bulwark against every assault
upon American institutions.
The American Legion represents
nearly 100000 citizens WHO have
demonstrated their loyalty and
patriotism. We realize. however,
that there are 10O.O00,0 900 other Amer
leans just as patriotic and loyal. we
represented the spear-point, keen and
true, and back of us was tho power
of whole nation at war. Our ef-
fectiveness against the enemy was in
proportion to the strength of the
country back OF us. And now We
must realize that the strength of the
Legion and our influence and service
to the nation will be measured only
10y our ability to cooperate effective
ly with the 10O.000,00O other loyal
and patriotic American citizens in
the promotion of 100 per cent
Americanism. and the maintepance
Of law and order. We know that
there are many other patriotic and
loyal and 100 per cert American
forces in this country keenly inter
ested in the maintenance of law and
order.
I'VE know there is only one way to
maintain law and order, and that one
and only way is through the orderly
process of government and its duly
constituted agencies.
Tn times Of need and emergency,
We members of the American Legion
stand ready as individuals and as
ciiizens to support and strengthen
authorities charged with the main
tenance of law and order. AS good
soldiers we did not hesitate to hit
hard when necessary. but always un-
der competent military authorities.
AS civilians now, with an even keen
er sense Of our responsibilities of
citizenship. we shall continue to
strike hard when necessary. but al
ways in accordance with competent
authority, which we realize now is
civilian and not military and origi-
mates in the constitution of the
United States as expressed through
national, state and local govern
ments.
