and which now would be willing to go

THE AMERICAN LEGION STARTS
OFF RIGHT.

A large representation Of soldiers or
the world war met in st. Louis last
week and effected an organization
which will be known as the American
Legion. An organization which VIII
eventually include millions in its mem
bership, men who have rendered loyal
service to their country in war and
who are embued with a patriotic ardor
that will make itself felt in the sup
port of the government in peace, is
bound to WELD a tremendous Influence
in shaping the destiny of our country.
They are men drawn together through
ties of comradship experienced dur
ing their country's peril, and now that
the victory is won through their heroic
devotion and sacrifice, it is natural and
right that they should combine as
means of social pleasure and to pro-
mote the welfare of members and their
dependents. The meeting in st. Louis
made it clear that the first aim of the
organization Is to preserve our free
and liberal form of government by
combating anarchistic propaganda in
it's various forms, and to urge upon
congress the enactment of laws that
will free the country of those who
would undermine its institutions while
claiming it's protection. The attitude
OF the American Legion toward the
lawless and sedtious element found
expression in the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, there is an element
living among us VINO ms
take liberty for license, free
speech for anarchy, and who by
their actions and speeches and
radical papers would revolutionize
this government ana nldhe lhlS
land of freedom land of free
love; be it resolved
That this convention petition
congress that all members of rad
ical organizations, such as the l.
w. W., Bolsehviki and kindred
organizations, be deported
that stop be put to the printing
of their literature, and that any
one found guilty of distributing
their literature be guilty of
criminal offense.
That is real Americanism, the kind
Tor which these soldiers fought and
for which they will continue to stand
in civil life

SIMS AND THE CRITICS OF
GENERAL PERSHING.

When the final story is written it
will probably be found that whatever
failures are to be charged against the
work of General Pershing were due
to the disadvantage under which he
worked through the incompetency and
lack of proper support from the secre-
tary of war, and to the lack of train
ed and experienced officers upon whom
the execution of his plans depended.
But when we consider, now that the
war is over, the vastness of the task to
which General Pershing was assigned
and the difficulties under which he
operated, we believe that the final YER
dict of the American people will coin
eide with the conclusion expressed by
Admiral Sims in a recent speech in
behalf of the Victory loan. Admiral
Sims position in the navy during the
war corresponded to that of General
Pershing in the army, and when he
speaks of the work of the general he
knows what he is talking about and
the American people know that Ad-
mral Sims does not indulge in un.
merited and meaningless praise. Here
Is what he says of Pershing:
Now just a word about John
Pershing. He has had 100000
men over there. No one of those
men has been able to see one one
thousandth part of the operations.
They run across great many
disagreeabe things. They may

and particularly It will be resented by
the soldiers themselves who are now
confronted with beginning anew the
life they left in response to call Of

paper that voices the sentiment Of the
soldiers in France, refers to the fate
Of Les Darcy, the Australian prize
fighter. who left his country to escape
from military service, and who died
recently in Memphis because the brand
OF Stacker broke his heart. Applying
the lesson to Willard, Stars and

TERSE REPLY TO A DEMOCRATIC
COMPLAINT.

Newspaper names are sometimes
very misleading with respect to their
political attitude or utilization, but
this charge will not hold against the
National Republican, published at
Washington, d. C. That ...,>.r is all
that its name implies, and then some.
Its mission is to expound the principles
and policies of the republican party
which necessarily involves denuncia-
tion of the principles and policies of
the OPPOSITION, whether it be democracy,
socialism, bolshevism, or just plain
anarchy. The enemy gets no aid and
comfort from the National Republican.
Recently a democrat in the middle
west who is evidently trying to find a
reason for the faith that is in him,
complained to the editor that the Ma
tional Republican is "one- sided.' To
this charge the editor promptly plead
guilty in a leading editorial which ex-
planned why the paper is one sided, and
from which the following extract is
taken which indicates the editor
sound line of reasoning:
''The National Republican is only
on one side. And the man or the
publication believing itself to be
on the right side, can fight on that
one side without conjunction.
This paper does not accept the
doctrine that for every two words
said for the republican party in a
republican paper. one should be
said for the democratic party as
means of showing that one is not
biased The successful general
does not order his troops to fire
one volley into their supporting
forces for every one delivered
against the enemy. Lincoln never
presented both sides of the slav-
cry question; Clay and Blaine
never spent much time explaining
the merits of free trade; Mckinley
did not give UP certain amount of
every speech in the campaign of
1906 admitting the good in the
sixteen lone theory No sane
preacher of the gospel thinks he
has to throw in few compliments
to Satan in every argument he
makes against him. Imagine Col
onel Roosevelt spending any of his
time in the campaigns of 1900 and
1908 throwing bouquets at Colonel
Bryan! How often does Colonel
Bryan flatter the republican
party?

may reign; that greed and oppression
may be overthrow; that peace may
prevail upon the earth, and that peo-

The Return.

wv. W. whitlock in New York Times)
You who have fingered in the pleasant
walks
OF changeess days from rise to set
of sun.
And gathered round the fire for merry
talks
And harmless laughter when the
day was done;
You who have followed life's accus-
toned ways,
Nor watched the flash Of battle
light the sky,
When thund'ring thousands charged,
with eyes ablaze,
And there was but one choice; to
kill or die
What can you know Of JOY SO keen
it's pain,
The 10y that comes with being home
again!
The nights were long beneath the
starry dome,
And there was time. while Mars
thr0ned high above,
For thoughts of one dear spot across
the foam.
Touched with the splendor Of our
early love.
Out of the past fond pictures rose to
view,
OF happy gath'rings round the
merry board,
While memory strove each meeting to
renew.
Each tone of love, each gesture to
record.
20 God! to be with them once more!"
Twas vain,
The ardent wish to be at home again.
For some, New England's hill of
:. friendly green
Rose like a beacon to the inner
sight;
For some, the long, low western
plains, with sheen
OF rip'ning grain. transformed the
distant night.
The broad savannahs and the craggy
peak
Each called some heart among that
silent throng,
Each seemed endowed with magic
powers to speak
To watt across the deep a siren song.
Twas but dream, Pigment of the
brain
But ah! the dreams come true. we're
home again!
