SERVICE MEN BATTLING
TOWNLEY

A. C. Townley's attempt to or
ganize the Nonpartisan League IL
the State of Kansas is meeting with
much opposition on the part of for
mer service men.
The service men in the entire state
are aroused over the advent Of
Townley principles in the state anc
are on the war path for the scalp Of
the Nonpartisan leader.
In fact the action of the Legion
has become so open that orders have
been received from the national com
mander calling halt to the pro-
ceedings on the grounds that the
military organization is to take nc
active interest as body, in politics
However there is no ruling in the
annals of the Legion to prevent a
member doing his duty as citizen
and consequently the fight goes on.
A resolution adopted by the LIE
gion scored Townley as a Radical
and Un-American." The prospects
are CIaC ue Will NC uiiNCh ihoAi YIN
state.
Taken by and large, it would seem
that the nation as whole, is all fed
up on Townleyism. Dakota's stricken
condition is a striking example OF
the ravages of the League. Mime
sofa heroically defeated the attempt
to secure a foot hold here, but poor
old misguided Wisconsin will suffer
for two years at least under the Non
partisan leash.
Kansas is wise indeed to nip the
Townley flower in the bud and
if they are successful, the victory is
but another D. S. C. for that sturdy
body of Americans, the American
Legion.

SHOWING COMMON SENSE

Preslden.-elect Harding has given
further evidence of his good common
sense by calling halt to the elab-
crate plans for his Inauguration.
In taxing this attitude, the new
president VOICES sentiment Of the ma
ton as whole. The action of Mr.
Harding will probably be blow to
the nIllie-nullle society buds of
Washington, but the result of his
Judgment In the ranks of his con-
stitutents will be ten fold.
The American people have little
taste for pomp-the system of gov
eminent which Mr.. Harding repre-
sents is in itself, a protest against
ceremony and glitter of court cir
cles.
President Wilson at the time of
his inauguration, established a pop
ular precedent when he abolished
the inaugural ball and it now ap-
pears that this early social function
which graced the former Washing
ton society whirl, has gone by the
board, forever. There will be no
ball for President Harding and it
is not probable that any successor
of MI. Harding will re-establish the
custom.
Mr.. Harding in his message on the
matter of his Inauguration stated to
the committee that he preferred simp-
ly to take his oath of office, deliver
a short inaugural address and as
sumo his duties as President of the
United States. Mr.. Harding is the
man who should be granted this priv
ilege if he desires it,
The action Of the new president
elect in this matter will not only
make his advent into office wholly
democratic affair but will save this
nation a colossal and entirely need
less expense.
The stand of Mr.. Harding in this
matter is entirely gratifying. He
has again shown himself an Ameri-
can of firm American principles.

INCOME RATES FIXED

Only single persons whose net in
come for 1920 was less than $1,000
and married persons living with hus-
band or wife whose net income was
less than $4,000 are exempt to file
an income tax return.
The obligation to consider his own
case and to file an income tax re-
turn on time, if one is due, is laid
squarely on the shoulders of every
resident of the United States. Guess
work is barred. The returns are
sworn statements, and accuracy is
essential. Salaried persons and wage
earners must ascertain the actual
compensation received. Bonuses,
shares in the profits of business,
values of quarters and board furn-
ished by an employer, and other
items of compensation for services
must be included.

tional Commander, made a practice
of searching his baggage and ran
sacking his personal papers and eff
fects in almost every stopping
place. His "guide" Mr.. D'Olier said,

The Legion official left this coun-
try shortly after the second Legion

full neglect" and inefficiency attend
ing the care of the sick and wound
ed veterans of the world war was
presented January 10th by the Amer
lean Legion. in the form of a mem
orial to President Wilson, President
elect Harding, all senators and con-
gressmen and to the people of the
United States through the press and
from the mouths of three thousand
volunteer Legion speakers.
In additions to the summary of
deplorable existing conditions the
Legion's solutions for remedy were
presented. These included the COM
bining of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance, the Federal Board for
Vocational Education and the Public
Health Service under one head, re-
sponsible directly, to member of the
cabinet, and the immediate appro-
priation of moneys for the construc-
ton Of a large number of hospitals.
The memorial was presented to
President Wilson by John Thomas
Taylor, chairman of the Legion's
national executive committee, and
to Senator Harding by F.. w. Gal
braith, Jr., National Commander, in
a conference on the general situa-
ton of the disabled at Marion, O.

THE LEGION AND THE CABINET

The National Post, American Lee
gion, has sent petition to Presi-
dent Elect Harding asking that Gen.
Leonard Wood be named Secretary
of War in the New Republican
cabinet.
AS a matter of fact, the Legion
has become Disguised with the hand
ling of military or navel affairs by
rank civilian. They believe that
only soldier and a man versed
in the business of national defense,
should be placed in charge of the
great national engines of defense.
I The Legion is acting upon the prin-
ciple that a carpenter would not be
chosen to try law suit nor law
yer to build a house. Their request
is based upon good plain common
sense.
1t is probable that General Wood
may not be the choice of the new
president. He may choose some
other army officer equally as well
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-01-13

qualified. The favoritism shown
General Wood by the Legion is due
entirely to the respect in which that
organization holds him as an army
officer and statesman. The nation
owes much to Leonard Wood. Any
action by Mr.. Harding can only half
repay him for the insults inflicted
upon him by the Wilson administra-
ton apparently for no other reason
than that he was a friend of that
great American, Theodore Roosevelt.
The Legion will also ask the same
consideration in the case of the navy
and it is entirely probable that Ad-
miral Simms will be considered to
succeed Secretary Daniels.

GERMANY COMING BACK?

Ole Hansen, foreign correspondent
of the Minneapolis Journal, in a let
ter to his paper published last Sun
day, gave some very important and
pleasing information Of the present
conditions IN Germany.
Mr.. Hansen was very particular to
bring to the attention of the, public
the feeling in Germany today to-
ward that nations former enemies.
The people, he says, almost to man,
hate the Kaiser. and the Junkers Of
Germany. They hate the French and
the English, but contrary to the gen.
eral opinion, the people of Germany
feel very kindly toward America.
The people of that stricken coun-
try he says are working night and
day to re-establish their national
standing. The standards of democ-
racy run high there just at present
and among the German working
classes there is high tension against
he race of royalty who made pos
sible the war.
Every foot of ground in Germany
is under cultivation. Women and
children are working in the fields.
Perhaps one important feature OF
the story is that of the children OF
Germany. Thousands of them are
being cared for in Sweden. 1t is
only in the cities that food is short.
In the country districts, the people
are said to be living well. :
The presence in Germany OF the
American army of occupation is
largely responsible for the alleged
existing pleasant feeling towards
America and Americans.
At any rate it is pleasing to know
that our late enemies are reaping the
harvest Of our policy in the war

American Legion Notes

Major General Leonard Wood
should be named as secretary of war
in the opinion of Petaluma Cal. Post
! No. SO of the American Legion as
expressed in resolution sent to
President-elect Harding.
National Commander F. w. Gal
braith, Jr., of the American Legion,
will address the first state conven-
ton of the Women's Auxiliary of the
American Legion of Vermont, which
will be held in Burlington on Janu-
airy IA. The National Commander
also will attend a conference of post
commanders and adjutants and a
meeting of the state executive COM
mittee which will be held at the
same time.
An Interstate conference of the
commanders and adjutants Of the
Departments of Texas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arkansas is in pro-,
ject for January, probably at Austin,
Texas.
Because it's producers were motor,
iously pro-German, New York Leg
ionaires last year waged a strenuous
fight against the production of Ger
man opera in New York City. This
winter there will be no Legion oppo-
sition to German opera, according to
William F. Deegan, Department
vice-commander, because it is pro-
duced by Americans.
In conformity with the American
Legion's national policy of encour-
agement of education, William B.
Coleman Post of Atlantic, Ga, has
established $500 year scholar
ship in the Georgia Institute of
Technology.
Kansas members of the American
Legion are in the throes of a strug-
gle as champions of the cigarette.
The fight is conferred at Topeka where
the local post has urged the repeal
Of the Kansas law prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes. DIR. William A.
McKeever, of the University of Kan
sas author of the anti-cigarette law,
and leading opponent of the Lee
gion's stand, has appealed to the ex-
soldiers to "turn aside from the sell
fish cigarette and come out on the
side of Christ and Kansas and has
proposed debate with the Legion
naries on the question of the ciga-
rette as a menace. Legion members
in recent resolution asked Governor
Allen to urge the repeal of the anti
cigarette law.
Franklin D'Olier, Past National
Commander of the American Legion
who has just returned from a trip
to the Orient, recently related details
of how he was constantly under the.
surveillance of supposed agents of
the Japnese government during his
stay in that country.

culous assumption that Mr.. D.Olier

FAMED MIDSUMMER
 MADNESS OPENS 4 DAY RUN AT STRAND

When De Mile speaks through the medium of the screen the cinema world sits up and takes notice no matter how lethargic it's condition.
 The Strand has Midsummer Mad ness" booked for four day run. starting today, and it is said by Arthur James, editor of the Motion Picture World, to be the biggest dra- matic production the screen has ever known That was James opinion in his preyiew of the offering.
 It is the story of the eternal crav- ing for romance that is the, birthright of every woman since Eve picked her Sunday frock from the nearest tree.
 Two families are great friends. One of the men is married to a beautiful girl, and he loves her as men do sometimes, with no spoken word of love but just the plain solid worship of a busy normal man. She craves romance. She is filled with the thoughts of lover who will see in her the charms that her husband saw before they were married.
 Then comes the meeting of the girl and a charming fellow of fine family in a far away summer lodge of the rich. He is the passionate impress sionable type, and the woman falls for his love making.
 NIduueSS," you Wlli say, and perhaps you will not alto gether condemn this pair, for both had some excuse for slipping. but it will bring to you so many cases, some of them right here at home and you will wonder if there is such a malady as Midsummer Madness
 Midsummer Madness" is epoch making in it's presentation and touches a responsive chord in the breast of many man who has been a victim of the malady and many a man who has felt the deadly grip of the desire to break away and go wild but who has conquered the thing. DeMille goes pretty deep into the reason for this madness" in his visualiZation of the story, His Friend and His Wife, from which he took the scenario.
 With the feature will be seen a Mack Sennett comedy creation, By Golly.''
