INTEREST IN AMERICAN LEGION.

From a hasty survey OF the prelim-
mary meeting Of the local post OF
the American Legion it would appear
that New Britain is going to be lack
ing in an organization Of that kind
unless someone with great deal more
push than has been evident locally
gets behind the plan. There we're only
about 20 soldiers and sailors at the
first meeting held at a local theater
yesterday afternoon.
What is the reason for the lack of
interest in the formation Of a New
Britain post? Presumably every re-
turned fighting man is proud of his
record and anxious to keep alive some
sort of an organization to perpetuate
the glory of his achievements. There
will come time when this post will
be sorely needed and the lack Of it
severely felt. Cliques now exist in the
military owing to the fact that
many of the boys are able to gather
with their actual comrades in the
fighting. But those that remained to-
gether through the battles on the
other side are merely handful. They
are not sufficient for keeping up
post. The city of New Britain, as
we'll as the boys who were unable TO
honor them for the tribulations
through which they courageously
went The YD veteran will always
receive credit for his service. That
does not alter the fact that all of the
service men of the city should have
an organization in the future. There
are many who saw bloody fighting
with other than the Yankee Division.
There are many who saw long and
heartbreaking training only to be dis
appointed in the end because they
we're unable TO set to France and
realize the fruition Of their hard
work. To them, also, belongs credit.
Is it because many failed to get
over that some are uninterested in
the post? Is it because those that
failed feel that those that did so
across do not want them, that others
lack interest? If it is for either of
these two reasons that there is a feel
ing of restraint, matters have come
to a pretty pass. Sweep them aside
and organize the post If it is only
to serve as a patriotic reminder Of
the war to the gen eration now coming
along, if it will keep alive the spirit
of sacrifice and devotion that we have
so lately gone through, it will more
than serve it's purpose. The ex-service
men really owe this to their city
Their responsibilities did not end with
the winning of the war. They are
now the idols Of the children and have
an immense influence which they may
: bring to bear upon the future citi-
zenry. Though none of them, we are
sure, will neglect this trust, much
more may be accomplished by proper
organization.

BOTH TO BLAME

Senator Thomas of Colorado appears to have the
right idea with reference to responsibility for the delay
i'll national legislation, and for the fact that important
measures must be rushed through in the last days Of the
session with little consideration, or go over and be dealt
with at an extra session. The Colorado senator says
frankly that both parties are to blame for this condition,
though, he adds, not Intentionally.
There is, as Senator Thomas says, nothing unusual
about the present situation. 1t may be taken for granted
that there has been some disposition on the part of both
Republicans and Democrats to gain political advantage
out of the situation. The interest of the Democrats has
been in expediting legislation in order that all the i'm.
portant matters could be cleared up while they were in
possession Of the organization in the two houses. on the
other hand. If action were delayed, bills must 20 over to
be handled by the new congress, and then they would pass
through committees having Republican majorlties. and
receive final attention in the body of each house, each
If Republicans have not actually sought to delav leg.
islauon, 1t may be supposed that in many cases they have
LIefrained from exsFting themselves to expedite It. But Just
why the Democrats themselves. who have been and are
in charge Of every committee, have permitted manv OF
the big bills to be held in committees until within a Week
or 20 Of the expiration Of the present congress. IL not EASY
to understand. The Democrats would resent the suxees-
ton that the delay is due to Democratic incompetence.
but If the committee work had been more capably han
died these bills could have been forced through the COM
mittees in spite Of the opposition. Of Republican,. had
such opposition been encountered.

STOPPING DISCRIMINATION

The Minnesota legislature is trying to put an end to
the discrimination which now exists in the law in favor
of political candidates. of the Nonpartisan league. The
81. Paul Dispatch refers to the matter in these words
1T has been a roaring travesty on justice that the
Nonpartisan league. by escaping the name Of political
party. has also eluded the restrictions placed upon po-
litical parties by the corrupt practices act. Untold thou
sands Of dollars have been scooped from the pockets
Of the farmer and spent without stint upon the candi-
dacies Of men who were opposing the government in war
without a penny's worth Of accounting to the public while
the opponents of these men, running openly under the
auspices Of an established political party, have had to
make full account Of their expenditures.
TT the Pattson-W Wilkinson. Parker bill, introduced
yesterday in the Minnesota house, will wipe out this in.
Justice and put all candidates on an equality as was in
tended in the original corrupt practices act, it is a good
bill and should be passed without delay. Though aimee
at the Nonpartisan league this is not a measure of dis.
elimination. 1t is just the opposite. 1t is a measure to
wipe out q discrimination which the present law is pow
erless to prevent"
The situation in this state is similar. The campaign
expenses Of political candidates are limited, but through
the league propaganda almost unlimited money may be
spent to secure the election of a candidate, and. techni-
cally, the law is not violated. The League bosses may be
relied on to oppose anything intended to put an end to
this discrimination.
