assaults any institution Of the Ameri-
can government will find it supported
by the men who broke the most pow

The Legion typifies the highest

PUBLIC OPINION MILITANT

The American Legion represents
American public opinion articulate
and militant; it is the expression Of
true Americanism. The American
Legion is making patriotism mors
than a wartime sentiment, splsadid,
indeed, and resolute and sacrificing ~
1t WAS while we were in = foreign
conflict; it is making patriotism
something for everyday use, and 10y
atty to the flag, to the nation, and to
our institutions the necessary quail
dcation for the enjoyment Of the large
liberties that our country gives its
citizens and aliens. Surely neither
citizen nor denizen who enjoys the
freedom. the hospitality, and the liber-
ty which the flag offers him can or
should refuse to give it that one re-
turn which the American Legion is
ssking-Loyalty.
The American Legion is asking that
this country shall no longer be .
haven of refuge for foreign or domes-
tic traitors. 1t is asking that here
there shall be no divided national al
legiance, spanned by hypen, how
ever small; that there shall be but one
Flag, and no other, no matter what
the color or device; that law shall be
obeyed and order maintained; that Sc
dition. wherever preached, and trea-
son wherever practiced, shall be prop
erly punished-that America shall b
made safe for Americans.
Greater than any material advan-
tage won by this country in the world

We have shipped bunch of anarch-
lists back to their native country.
Let's ship lot more and then turn
our attention to informing some of our
own people that we grew under our
present form of government and that
we can and will grow still greater
under that same form. When changes
in our Constitution become necessary
these changes will be made by the ma
jority of the people, and not by those
who are now demanding a revolution.

group, and secured to society the best
possible returns from such property
it had done its whole duty. 1t was
believed that in all other fields the in
dividual could secure to himself the
blessings mentioned in the preamble
to the constitution; or. in other words,
they would be put within his reach by
the government when it provided for
him security and mutually in the en-
joyment of the national heritage.
The great changes in industrial pro-
cesses during the last century have
taken it out Of the power Of the in
dividual to protect himself against
fraud and exploitation and have wild
ened the field in which government
must exercise its first great function
the protection Of the citizens. hence
it has come about that We feel the
restraining hand Of government at
every turn.
The government is with us rs we
sit down to eat and when we don our
clothes. 1t dictates how We shall rear
our children and how they shall be
educated. 1t stands beside the work
man at his lathe and when he labors
in the field; it enters the office and
the counting room. It dives into the
recesses of the mine and scars with
the aeronaut in his widest flights
thru the invious fields Of space.
Within very wide limits it is ON
nipresent, and all because men refuse
to do to their fellow men as they
would that men should do to them.
1t is with many people one of the
hardest lessons of citizenship to learn
to feel that the restraining efforts
of the government are beneficent and
not malign; that only by the exercise
of its function of control over the dis
position of men to over-reach one
another can the living conditions of
the masses be made endurable.

CHANGING CONDITIONS

What do we consider are the duties
of the government? What ought the
government to do? The answer that
would have been given to this ques-
ton by the farmers of our constitu-
tion would differ widely from the one
that it is thought necessary to give
today. Then the activities of life
centered in the home more than now
1t was felt that if the citizen was
made secure from attacks of enemies

come in for a vast amount of con-
dcTnnation, yet it seems not to have
occurred to those finding fault that
both these straw-men can be removed
in hurry if very person will go to
work and produce. The American peo-
pie must adopt the slogan "an honest

That will settle Old High Cost of Liv-

The ruling by Chairman Holland of

right direction.

We hear great deal about "un-

not be a reality when there is work
