THE AMERICAN LEGION

The Frank Durwin Post, American
Legion, in few words, but in firm
and business-ike manner, gave Mayor
Smith and the world at large to un-
derstand that the Frank Durwin Post,
American Legion, was not formed for
police duty purposes nor that, as an
organization, would it respond at any
time At the same time, however,
Mayor Smith was told that any time
the city needed the services of its cit
izens to assist the police department
and formal call for volunteers for
such service should be issued, the ex-
ecutive committee of the Frank Dur
win Post would be glad to forward
such appeal to the members of the
legion as citizens of the city of Ham
ilton.
This has the proper ring to it, and
only bears out the contention of the

promoters of the local organization at
the time Of its formation-that the
Frank Durwin Post, American Legion,
was not formed for the purpose of
doing police or military duty at any
time. This was in contradiction to
the claim of some that if a local post
of the American Legion were formed
it would be used, as a body, against
workers in time of strikes. The Incl
dent of the past week has given the
Frank Durwin Post an excellent op-
portunity to express to the city, the
state and the nation some of the
things that it was NOT organized for.
This little incident will no doubt
cause a few people to do some think
ing. We refer to those who have been
dreaming that the local American Le-
gion could be called on any time for
police and military duty. AS good cit

QUACK PATRIOTS

These quack patriots commercialize
the most holy ideal and brazenly call
on the shades of men who have lived

He favors free speech-but not for

He favors a free press-when it is
silent on wrongs that are profitable

He believes in the education of
children-but would fill his factory
with child labor.
He talks of freedom, but would
feudalize America.
He glories in the progress of his
country but plays no part in its So

him, government is a thing for pri-
