our boys in the teen age that he
knew they were unable to see the
difference between playing pool
for a pot of money in the pocket
of the table and gambling on the
races in Lexington unable to see
the difference between taking a
deck of cards and playing for a
pool of money in game of poker
and taking a deck of cards and
playing for a pool of silver in 4
game of bridge. He made an ap-
peal to the women of Richmond to
abandon the practice of prizes in
bridge and gambling on the races
which he declared to be the most
certain evidence of the breaking
down of our civilization.
The picture show, which pre-
sents may good films, he said, al
so presents a great many filed
with the story of arson and muir
der and homewrecking and lust.
and after feeding our young peo-
pie up on such stuff, it will be
surprising if we do not develop a
group of criminals afr that order.
All of these things were il.di-
Gated as an evidence of the break
ing down of moral restraints, the
disintigrations of the fine ideals
which we have formerly held.
And all make it easier for crime
to flourish.
The second thing indicated as
making possible the present con-
d1t1onS on our community was
the disregard and in many cases
the contempt for our civil law. eff
the man who goes out to kill
knew there was an electric chair
at the end of the way, in the ma
Jorlty of cases he would't go. If
the man who loads up on some
booze concoction and goes out to
shoot up the town knew that in
every case he would get the ''lim-
it going up" lie might take on a
lighter load. If the Individual
who is selling this liquor knew he
had meal ticket every time be-
hind prison bars, he would 90 in
to other business.
I The third thing indicated as
possible conditions was
the practice of carrying concealed
and deadly weapons. DR.. Carpen-
tory of some of the towns III the
state during the past ten years,
and called attention to the fast
that III many of them the criminal
docket has been practically elm
mated by the making Of this prac-
tice felony. every man who
carries deadly weapon conceal
ed in violation of law he declar-
ed, " IS a'potential murderer. He
may not be conscious of it. but let
a situation develop such as fire.
quently develops and he uses the
gun and another murder is dock
eted."
In conclusion the remedy was
suggested in brief. The building
up of our moral restraints which
is the business, particularly of the
church, the home and the school.
the rigid enforcement of the civil
law through the imposition of the
maximum sentence, and the crea-
ton of league of friendship of
all the forces in the community
that stand for community better
ment in crusade against every
type of evil.

SECOND NATIONAL
LEGION MEETING
Big Convention Opens at Cleve-
land-Address of Commander
First Day Feature
tBy Associated Press,

Cleveland, o., Sept. 27-The great
est single service American Legion
members nave rendered thir country
is their "virile stand for the mainten-
ance of law and order" Franklin
D'Olier, national commander of the
American Legion, told the second an
nual convention of the Legion at its
opening session here today
'We quickly served notice in no un-
certain terms upon those wild radi-
calls who would by force attmept to
injure those very institutions we had
iisked our lives to protect" said
Commander D'Olier. "We stated
plainly we were ready for them and
could NETT their force with far great
er force sufficient to stop them in
stantly."
In his address, Commander D'Olier
said:
During the month of November
last in the city of Minneapolis, there
was held the first national convention
of the American Legion. When the
temporary organizations arising out
of the Paris meeting in March and
the st. Louis meeting in May, 1919,
were made permanent, a constitution
adopted, policies determined upon and
the firts national officers elcted to di
rect the work of the national organi
zation during the year to follow.
"Today we are assembled together
in our second national convention
where you are to receive reports as
to the results accomplished by the
national organzition during this first
year of our existence.
''It is only 1S months ago that at
the Paris meeting the idea of a vet
erans organization was first serious
ly considered. Since that day our
organization has grown so rapidly
that in every state and in every COM
munity throughout the length and
breath of the land the name Amer
lean Legion stands for the highest
ideals and most wonderful spirit of
unseIfish service shown by every man
and woman in the army, navy and
marine corps during the world war.
"The rapid growth of the Legion
has been phenomenal. Such thing
never happened before in this or any
other country. We have interpretde
the main function of national head
quarters as service to the different
state departments and have at all
times favored the maximum recog
milton of the rights of individual
states not only in their relations
with the national headquarters but as
between the states themselves as
well.
During these present days of un-
rest and readjustment, the American
Legion and the stand of the ex-ser-
vice men for law and order is the
greatest possible insurance policy our
country could possibly have and the
only insurance premium the ex-ser-
vice man expects in return is simply
fair play from that government with
which he has played fair.
''The first Official act of this admin
istration, after the close of the con-
vention, was to call conference in
Washington to consider the deplora-
BILE condition of the disable man. AL
though the war has been over more
than a year, government compensa-
ton to disabled men was so made
quate that many men were objects of
private charity"

The Durant Chamber of Commerce

week which smacks Of real pure old
fashioned democracy. The stunt is
for each of the several directors to
bring another member with him to
the weekly luncheons of the directors
for the purpose Of receiving the said
members counsel and advice on the
matters up for discussion before the
board. Different members are to be
invited each week until the whole
membership has been in attendance
and then they will start at the begin
ming and do it all over again. This
week the lunch was held at the Fish
& Oyster Parlor, Tuesday noon, with
q dozen members present besides the
directors.
