Barometer Of Public Opinion


Editor World The formal closing of the
Gore Ferris race for the senate has placed be-
fore the American Legion Of Oklahoma a
problem that will bear investigation.
Tho founders Of the Legion had foresight
enough to declare their opinion on the questions
OF politics and the outcome was the decision 10
remain neutral by staying out OF the political
ring.
However, there was n possible way OF keeping
the politician out of tho Legion. AS a result
all over the country the ambitious ex-soders
who were fortunate enough to be in civilian
clothes months before the soldiers" were In
tho United States made haste to assume the
leadership of the American Legion.
This is the misfortune OF the oklahoma
organization and the worst offender is our dis
ungulshed and noisy state commander.
TO say that he was elected through the spe-
clal efforts OF the Tulsa post is putting II square
y and to say that he has used the office to
further his present and future glory is to state
q fact.
To venture that he has imbedded within his
youthful bosom the desire TO at sometime
rank among the state officials is perhaps not far
wrong. And to have once been state COM
mander OF the American Legion will doubt
look good In print.
II would not require much forethought to de-
termine how Mr.. Ferris came In possession Of
the Legion mailing list since our dashing leader
liz counted as a personal friend OF the Soldiers
friend" which is positive proof that he has at
least once used his Office a tool.
My final assertion is that the American Legion
OF oklahoma has among It's officers men who
are far from representative of It's members and
the worst of these Ia tho state commander.
The future leaders must he members who
will strive to direct tho Legion along channels
OF safety. The organization is doomed TO fail
once II becomes the tool OF the politician.
II Finally the Legion posts all over the state
best be on their gaurd in the selection OF the
next state commander But the Joe Carson post
must assume tho leadership since all appearance
arc that Mr.. Hagan directs the officers OF the
post in his way of thinking.

As q Woman Thinks

Another candidate has been found
for the hall OF fame. He is Walter
p. Fulkerson, president Of the Bank
OF Buchanan county, st. Joseph.
Mo" Mr.. Fulkerson ought to be
about the most popular RAN in his
town and it is certain that IL he
lived in New York, Chicago, BUsto on.
Detroit or Cleveland he would prob
ably be nominated for president or
made a saint. Perhaps some tamil-
les after reading OF him will journey
to st. Joseph TO pay him homage
and receive some Of his blessings
Mr.. Fulkerson should have
place in the hall OF fame because
he is building a number of houses
in one OF the city's most desirable
residential district for very worthy
cause. He will rent these houses
to families in which there are chill
dren. Newly married couples will
also be allowed to occupy the houses
with the provision that IL at the end
of year. there are no children they
shalt be asked to vacate, Then as IL
that were not enough for one man
to do in these days of rent prof 4
tcers and heartless landlords, MrN
Fulkerson has made this promise.
whenever child Is born in one ot
the houses he will return to the
tenant the amount OF the rental for
that month.
He gives as his reasons for un-
dertaking this project that he loves
children and considers IL great
wrong for landlords to place a pre-
MUM upon childlesness. lie him
self is the father OF two children, a
boy and n girl but he 'hopes to see
as many children in his houses as
can got into them and the younger
the better,
Mr.. Fulkerson is a citizen to be
proud OF. He is "A rel patriot and.
while II Is too much to expect TO
find others who will go to the great
length he has, still we might hope
for few more landlords who would
at least Gtop short OF evicting ten
ants when a child Is born.

But out in the provinces the rank and file

course; but It was said that not until his speech
of acceptance could it be fairly determined
whether the candidate was Cox Wilson,
