didates. In the face Of this over
whelming evidence, it is impossible to
believe that the N. p. L. as an organl-
cation, has friendly interests in the
Legion as an organization.
During the 1919 winter session Of
the North Dakota legislature, which
was owned and controlled by the y. 7.
L., a recess was declared for two hours
at which time the members Of the
body listened to Lester Barlow The
larger share OF two hours was used
by Mr.. Barlow in condemnation and
abuse for the American Legion. The
legislature placed the stamp OF their
approval on his utreranceS By listen
ing to him and then voting him quart
ers in the capitol for the Worlds War
Veterans, an organization avoWediy
hostile 10 the American Legion. How
can the n. P. l.. assert they are friend
IL to the Legion in the face of this
action?
Shortly after the assassination OF
four Legion members during the Ar
mistice Day parade in Centralia,
Wash, every \. p. l.. paper, either
owned and controlled b. the organiza-
ton, o. an earnest supporter of it,
carried a "hoiler plate" article lie.
Tending the |. w. W. murderers which
endeavored to place the blame on the
American Legion.
There are members of the n. p. L.
who have friendly interest insthe A
Legion, a many of their
sons are members. The Legion ap-
preciates and wants this individual
friendship and prizes it, as the friend
ship Of a member of a party hostile
to the Legion is doubly valuable. Bn:
until the N. p. j., as a political party
can show acts that prove its friend
ship for the Legion and disapproves
of acts that are hostile to it, the Le-
pion. "a a serviceman's organization.
must be forced to believe that its as
serted friendship is q farce. Acts
speak much louder than words.

THE N. P. L. as a party, and the

HE N. r. l.. ds a party. anu Tic
editors of the n. p. papers are loud
IN their assertions that they are
friends of the American Legion. They
=aR always ready and willing to help
ami assist the organization, so one
would guess from their words. Yet
when the time comes for them to prove
their willingness, the Legion finds that
the n. P. L. has no friendliness in their
heart.
In the recent election, when the pro-
posed amendment was before the peo-
ole for ratification, the only four town
ships in Grant county that voted
against the bill were those Owned and
controlled by the n. p. l.. and which
voted solidly for that party. In spite
aof the defeat in these precincts, the
measure passed with a two to one
vote. Below is a table so that the
service men may see where the votes
Nere cast.

The organ, as an addition to the

writer In the Manchester Guardian, re-
calling the first organ made by James
Watt. It was a small chamber organ.

built for his own use. When he moved
to Birmingham the organ was left be

the minister and session Of st. An
drew's church, Glasgow. Of which
Watt had been a member. The instru-
ment was used for weekly choir prac-
tees, but was shrouded under a green
baize cover on Sundays, as though In
disgrace. In 1906 permission to use it
was refused by the city council. Then
one Sunday afternoon, by pre-arrange-
ment, the church attempted to use the
organ without the councils consent.
An organist from neighboring Epis-
copal church was called in. He played
the organ while the last psalm was
sung. There was so much excitement
over the affair that bitter c0ntro-
versy followed. The presbytery de-
clared 1t was contrary to law and the
constitution of the established church,
and it was prohibited in all churches
and chapels within their bounds. Sixty
years later st. Andrews church got its
first organ peaceably.

DEATH OF WARNER WOODWARD

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

1t is often said that nothing new
can be said of Abraham Lincoln. On
the contrary he is new always. His
life presents new characteristics, sug-
gests new thoughts as each anniver-
sary of his birth arrives. He was
great not so much because of his in
tellectual power as because of his
moral power. He was politically
strong because the people trusted him
and believed in his Americanism.
True greatness is modest always. 1t
was so with Lincoln to a marked de-
gree. Never was he an egotist Never
did he trust to his own human powers
to accomplish great deeds. He rested
securely on a power beyond human
effort-a power which rules the des-
tiny of men and of nations.
In these crucial times, not only for
America but for all the world, nations
and leaders can learn a lesson from
the life of Lincoln-a lesson never tn
be forgotten. He believed that this
nation, and every nation destined to
endure, must be in harmony with the
great forces of righteousness, sane
liberty and constructive freedom--al
working to upbuild the national struc.
ture.
AS a party under Lincoln arose tC
save the Union from division and de
struction, so the same party, inspired
by the same lofty spirit, stands or
guard against the perils of intnrna
i tionalism and the evils of radical So
cialism masquerading as the "nev
freedom" or the "new democracy.
Abraham Lincoln stood on the soil,
rock of nationalism. Let us nov
stand there.

Reinstatement of War Risk Insurance
Within 10 Months Still Holds Good

To relieve any confusion that may
exist in the minds of former service
men on account Of the special pro-
vision Of lapsed War Term Insurance
which authorized reinstatement up
to December 81, 1919, regardless OF
date of discharge, announcement is
made by Director R. G. Cholmeley-
Jones of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance that the provisions for re-
instatement Of lapsed or cancelled in
surance within 18 months from date
of discharge upon payment of only
two months premium on the amount
of insurance to be reinstated, provided
the insured is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or expira-
ton of the grace period whichever
is the later date and so states in his
application still hold good.
The provision that discharged SER
vice men are permitted to reinstate
at any time within three calendar
months following the month of dis
charge by merely paying the two
months premium, without making

time Of discharge and consequent!

ment.
