AGAINST THE MMERcIALfziNG
OF PATRIOTISM.

Among members Of the American le-
gfon the idea is growing that the SOL
diers who returned home from the
war in good health. would neutraiize

which Is developing Is that 1t tends
to diminish the independence and self
respect Of hale soldiers to maintain
that. because they took part in the
war in some wise the government and
the public owe them a living. Legion
aries themselves are beginning to re-
aiize that the subservient attitude Of
many of the brave lads has resulted in
weakening OF self-reliance and in de-
grading recourse to the nation for sup
