he said to Judge BONN solicitously
when he last appeared before the

1t was a fine bit Of irony as ever

country for four weeks.
In the Hobbies of the court house

TURKISH OFFICER SERVES
BOISHEVISTS.

Enver Pasha, the leader of the
Young Turks, has been an officer in
the Bolshevist army for a year past,
according to Lieut.-Col. James Ulio,
who has just returned from working
with the Near East Relief in Trans
caucasia After the Turkish ca,pitu-
lation on October 80, 1913, Enver fed
from Constantinople and made his
way to Mohammedan Republic of
Azerbaidjan, on the west shore of the
Caspian Sea, Col. Ulio says. Here he
was harbored by the Moslem Tartars
for several months, and by his
energy and intelligence gathered
quite following. When the British
arrived from Persia, in January,
1919, and took possession of Baku,
the capital of Azerbaidjan, Enver re-
NAMED in hiding. His brother-in-
law, Nouri Pasha, was captured by
the British but managed to escape
A price of 5000 pounds sterling was
put on the head of Nouri Pasha dead
Or alive, but his influence was SO
great in Azerbaidjan that he walked
freely in the streets of Baku even
dining in the same restaurants with
British officers, and no one dared
touch him.
Enver Pasha, finally grew uneasy,
and made his way to Russia, by way
of the VoIga, where he volunteered
for service with the Soviet army. AS
he is considered an able soldier he
was promptly hired and remained
with the Rolshevist army until re-

LEGION TO TALK
POLITICS ATITS
BIG CONVENTION
Attitude on Political At
fairs 70 Be Topic Of
Discussion.

New York, September s. - The
attitude which the American Legion
should take toward politics and po-
litical candidates will be one of the
paramount issues to be raised at the
next national convention of that or
ganization to be held in C1eve-
land, Ohio, September 27, says an
announcement made today by the
Legion Weekly after canvas of
members of that body.
The official organ of the Legion
asserts in it's statement that strong
sentimen throughout the country in
favor of a reconsideration of the po-
1itical restrictions clause in the con-
stitution of the Legion is the most
striking feature of nationwide
survey just completed.
"The sentiment is widespread that
a too narrow Interpretation of the
present political restrictions clause
will work injury to the Legion by
excluding it from participation in
public affairs of the country. Many
prominent Legion members believe
the existing clause should stand as it
is but that more liberal interpre-
tation than generally has been OBJ
served heretofore be agreed upon"
The present clause of the constitu-
ton provides that the Legion ffshall
be absolutely non-po1itica1 and shall
not be used for the dissemination of
partisan principles or for the pro-
motion of the candidacy of any per-
son seeking public office or prefer
ment." After quoting this clause the
Weekly continues:
persons actively engaged in pro-
noting the Legion's interest assert
/ the demand has been spontaneous
for a new statement of policy on the
attitude of the 0rSaniZa tiOn.'
Attention is called by the Legion's
organ to a resolution adopted by its
| Department Of Indiana to the effect
| that each post in that state should
| obtain and disseminate data regard
| ing the stand taken by members of
| the Indiana legislature and other
public officials or all matters pertain
| ing to the welfare of the American
Legion.
The Indiana resolution recon-
mended that SIMILAR action be taken
by the national convention >concern-
| ing the members of Congress and
national public officials.
To show the views of Franklin
| D'Olier, the national commander, the
| Legion's Weekly, quotes a message
/ he sent to Basil Stockbridge, com
mander of the Georgia department
| concerning a fight the Legion in
| Georgia has been waging against
iThomas E. watson, candidate for
United States Senator. Mr.. D'Olier
| said:
members of the American Legion
| of Georgia owe it to themselves and
to the memory of the fallen COM
| rades to use the full power Of their
ballot to keep out of public office
| any individual regardless Of party
| whose record during the war was
disIoyal or unpatriotic. This can be
| done without conflict directly or in
| directly with either the letter or
| spirit of our constitutional restrlc-
| lions against partisan political &C
tivity."

SELLING BLUE SKY

(Oil and Mining Record Vancouver)
 One of our readers sugeests a Blue Sky law to protect the public from the profiteer. The Record sec- onds the motion, Blue sky is what the merchant is selling these days when he robs the public of 100 per cent or 200 per cent on clothing, shoes, furniture or automobiles. The Blue Sky law is designed to protect the publio's pocketbook. Where there Is one seller of worth less securities there are a thousand concerns daily robbing the public by asking fraudulent prices for merchandise. The press of Amer ica could end this fraud in a week if it was free press, and not a press subsidized by the advertising of these selfish merchants. An hon. est public official tried to bring number of these profteers to jus tice in Colorado a short time ago. Neither the press nor the commer- cial organizations gave him the SUD- port he was entitled to receive. He was Squelched on all sides, and the press was careful not to mention the profteering firms TOT whom he was asking indictments. That word 'profiteer is a polite term used by the press to keep from calling spade a spede. Politicians are afraid of the press and the press is afraid of it's advertisers. This may be the reason that the profiteering merchant is not held up to public sc0rn and made to cease his rob- bery. Possibly a Blue Sky law would reach him.
