And now my brothers, want to
impress on you the necessity of ever
bearing in mind your duty as loyal
Elks to your country, there is need
today, for every loyal American Citi-
zen to stand firmly for law and order
and to support the Constitution of the
United States of America.
We have linked the destinies of our
order with the destinies of our coun-
, try, we have made its flag the crown
ing symbol of our order, let us ever
be faithful in the preservation and de.
fence of all its represents.
Exalted Ruler Irwin then intro
duced Judge w. M. Gober, who well
coined the returned soldiers and sail
ors in an eloquent address, first voic-
ing his inability to extend well
come that would in any measure COM
Fare with the welcome embraces of
mothers, wives and sisters such as
they had received OH their return, or
the hearty hand-clasp of friends and
the approving smiles Of acquaint-
ances, but said nevertheless the well
come was genuine and came from the
heart, not so much out Of consider
alton of their heroic service or the
bravery with which they fought, but
because they maintained the reputa-
ton Of the American soldier who in
his battle for liberty In the war o,
tho revolution had distinguished him
self for bravery, heroism and devo-
ton to cause that startled the CIV
ilized world, and that since that time
in every war in which the American
soldier has had part, that reputa-
ton has been maintained. He spoke
on the causes and the principles for
which we fought and paid a tribute
to the mothers and the women OF
) America who bore the brunt of the
war in sending forth their sons and
loved ones to do battle for right and
justice. He spoke quite at length or
) the present state of unrest in ouI
country at this time and the danger
which threatens our government ir
the future, telling the returned SOL
. diers that while they had won a wal
they had by no means finished tn.
job, that it remained for them to take
; for right and freedom abroad, thai
. up the fight for the perpetuation o.
the principles of freedom, the ideal:
and traditions of the founders of oul
! government. He paid high tributa
. to Theodore Roosevelt, as being on,
OF the greatest and truest Americana
our country has produced, not from
. the standpoint of partisan politics
but his Americanism was unques
toned by his bitterest enemies, tina
we today need more men who stant
less for partisan plitics and more
for genuine true Americanism, tina
the league of nations is something
. most of US know but little about bu
If our government is to stand If w
are to continue to enjoy that freedom
which our forefathers gave US as ou
greatest heritage, then we must ge
back to the constitution, get ava!
from Socialism, I. W. W. ism an,
Bolshivism and stand for American
and American ideals liberty, RICH
and justice.
