should Fell said. The period of
rapid organization in which much
energy of the organization was given
to expansion is drawing to a close.
Now the organization will devote its
energies to the serious purposes set
forth in the preamble to its consti-
tuition
IF the local posts are to be sue
cessful, retain the interest and arouse
the enthusiasm of all members they
must have efficient leaders The
post commander and the post adjutant
must have leisure which they can
and will devote to organization work.
They must cheerfully sacrifice their
own interest to those of the organi-

Post leaders must be tactful, pos
sess the qualities of leadership and
be filled with enthusiasm for the
American Legion"

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-07-16

State papers which have figured con-
spicuously in the worlds history. The
whole philosophy Of government is
tersely epitomized. 1t was not merely
an apology for the sundering of his
toric ties which had their roots deep
in the past. It was a statement Of the
fundamental principles which should
govern the relations Of free people to
the government which derives its pow
ers from their consent.
The keynote Of the Declaration Of
independence is the bold and challen-
ging statement that all men are Great
ed equal. that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness.
Not all the men who voted for the
Declaration had the same idea Of the
meaning Of equality; nor were all OF
them by any means willing to carry
out the doctrine TO its logical conclus-
ion. The very existence Of slavery in
some Of the colonies, which adopted
the Declaration and banded them
selves in a Confederation to carry its
ideas into effect, shows how uncertain
the idea was in the minds Of the dele
gates. They were aware Of the incon-
sistency, and some of them were will
ing to consider proposals for its grad
ual removal. Ideas Of religious equali-
ty were in number Of instances rath-
err vague; and the same criticism APP
plies to the notions Of social and even
political equality. Nevertheless, the
dominant thought Of the great men
who saw the Declaration through the
Continental Congress was based on a
sincere devotion to the principle Of
equality. Like the wise men they were,
having in mind the divergent views
prevailing in the thirteen colonies,
they were willing boldly to state the
basic principle Of equality, and then
trust to time and the accommodating
force Of gradually enlightening senti-
ment to make conditions square with
the theories they were about TO pro-
mulgate.
The result has shown that they were
wise in their day and generation.
They built not only for their own day.
but for all time; not only for their
own country, but for all the world.
The acceptance Of the American doc
trine Of equality has been matter Of
slow growth. There are many cir
cles even in our own land in which Il
is not logically nor consistently ap-
piled, although nearly a century and
a half has passed since il was first
proclaimed. In most Of the other lands
there are many lapses from the COM
plete equality Of all men in religious
social and political life, and the alb
sence Of that equality is the fruitful
source Of racial, national and religious
hatreds, as well as Of the evils which
they bring in their train. No man be
he an American. who does not be-
ieve sincerely in liberty and equality,
or a national Of any other country who
rejects the principle can be free from
the qualities which lead to persecution
and oppression by overt acts, or to the
ostracism and humiliation which are
