Alien Slackers

Under this caption the Indianapolis News
says editorialy:
with the immigration committees of both
the house and the senate reported as favorng the
immediate enactment of an alien Stacker bill, the
question is likely to be decided without much de-
lay. The measure which seems to meet with
general approval provides that residents who
claimed exemption from military service solely
on the ground that they were not citizens of the
United States, although many of them had taken
out their first papers, shall be deported as unde-
sirable aliens, proved by their actions as having
no intention of becoming citizens, and in any case
not the kind of persons wanted in this country.
Statistics on the subject are in general terms,

The American Legion Has Vast Possibilities
for Good

"The organization of the American Legion by
war is hopeful sign for the future of America,
says the Manufacturers Record.
'"The millions of soldiers who received mill
tary training at the camps or on the battlefield
have entirely new conception of Americanism
and patriotism They have broader view of
life than they had prior to entrance into the
war. They represent very large proportion of
the most vigorous, virile men of America coming
from all classes of society," from the richest to the
poorest, from the university professor to the man
who cannot write his own name. They comprise
a mighty force to be reckoned with, and if wisely
led these men will help to mold the life of
America in safe and sound methods
Some of these men will supplant the old ma
chine politicians of both parties There is not
section of the country which is free from the evil
influence of the political machine These soldiers
in every part of America will be able to insti
new life and higher ideals into political activities
and the old party machines will in many cases be
broken up and thrown upon the scrap heap They
will prove one of the strongest influences which
it is possible to develop against Bolshevism and
socialistic chaos. They will stand for American
ISM and for patriotism and for the elimination
from American politics of the work of aliens who
are seeking to disrupt America and bring on Rus
sian chaos
"These soldiers have learned much about sani-
tation, and they should become leaders in bet
tering the living conditions in every village and
city in the country, as well as the farms. They
should aggressivey take hold of the municipal
problems connected with sanitation, and thus
lessen the dangers to health from impure water,
from bad sewerage systems or the lack of sewers.
They should inaugurate new era for bathrooms
and running water in every farmhouse in the
country Indeed the opportunities of these men
to benefit the health and living conditions in the
city and.the country are almost beyond estimate.
Out of the knowledge gained in the training
camps we should have three or four million men
who could make themselves leaders in work of
this kind, as well as in stimulating highway build
ing and kindred activities. A mighty power for
good is available in these men if they will now
assume the responsibility which rests upon them
to help reshape and mould for good these mater
ial things while at the same time they are on
guard to make certain that the political life of
the nation is cleaner and more wholesome and
more national in spirit.
"In the organization into the American legion
of the soldiers of the European War, wisely led
as we trust they will be, there are vast posi-
