The executive committee of the
American Legion has unanimously
named Major John Garfield Emery Of
Grand Rapids. Mich, 10 succeed the
late Col. Frederick W. Galbraith, Jr..
as National Commander Of the An1eri-
can Legion.
Major Emery is the same type of
man as Col. Galbraith was. He was
commissioned a captain in the sec
ond officers training camp at Fort
sheridan, H.. in 1917, and was one Of
the first Americans to serve on the
battlefront. He participated in the
operations at Cantigny, St. Mihiel and
In the Argonne, receiving a wound in
the last engagement. He was pro-
NOTED TO major on the field
Major Emery was closely associated
with Col. Galbra1th in Legion affairs,
and may be expected TO pursue the
fighting policy which the late Ma
tional Commander adopted. At this

JUST FOLKS
WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW.
BY Edgar A. Guest

When the car was new and shiny Pa
was careful as could be.
He'd polish up the window glass each
evening after tea.
And Il there was a finger mark upon
the glossy door.
He'd get piece OF underwear and
shine il up some more.
He'd sweep the carpets every day and
oil each seperate part.
He'd always rub and shine bit before
he'd make a start,
And twice week in rubber boots and
overalls of brown
He'd work for hours so he might have
the cleanest car in town.
But that was in the long ago, and now
the car is old,
There's mud upon the running gears
and in the manifold.
The axles now are thick with grease,
for Pa declines TO soil
His hands or scrape his knuckles hare
TO give IL dope and oil.
The bus has lost the shine IL had. its
stylish days are done.
Pa doesn't care now how II looks SO
long as il will run.
And nevermore he'll wash the gear
and shine the body, too,
Pa says he'll leave that work for those
whose motor cars are new.

THE PUEBLO SUFFERERS.

The governor OF Colorado has ap-

10 those whose needs are greatest, yet
there are hundreds who will have to
be cared for until they can rehabiii-
tate themselves.
Here is an opportunity for the
American people to demonstrate that
charity begins at home" We have
always contributed TO the needy OF
foreign lands: especially have we done
so within the past FIVE years. We
have nurscd the homeless children of
France: We have fed the starving OF
Germany; we have put Belgium on it's
economic feet: we have succored the
Austrians, the Hungarians, and the
Magyars; we have poured our trea-
sure into the Near East: we have
STAYED of the famine in china--yet In
Pueblo, Colorado. there are hundreds
of homeless Americans in actual want.
There is something romantic about
rushing the bread OF life To far-ofr
peoples; th'rc is nothing romantic In
caring for a group of Americans a few
hundred miles away. when we res
cue the perishing Of foreign lands we
get our pictures in the newspapers.
and people refer to us as "so-and- d-so.
who has done so much for Grau-
stark" All. There's romance in
that. But what about the people
in Pueblo? Suppose that for change
we minister unto our own people. The
United States Chamber OF Commerce.
the governor OF Colorado. and any
chapter OF the Red Cross will re-
ceive contributions for the Pueblo suf-
ferers. There will be no glamour about
giving this aid. but there will be the
intense satisfaction OF knowing that
at last we have done a portion OF
our duty at home.

THAT WASHINGTON OpOR.

Secretary OF War Weeks killed two
birds with one throw a day ago. First,
he received from Rutgers College the
honorary degree OF doctor Of laws;
then he delivered brilliant address TO
the young graduates Of Rutgers. and
told them a few things about the Re
publican party and its virtues which
the bright young minds evidently did
not know before.
But while he devoted the ma jor
portion OF his Grafton to G. 0. p.
virtues. he also plead, in fervid tones,
for less criticism for the Administra-
ton. Of which he is a Brahmin. Now
just why did our learned Secretary Of
War. after having been given a high
degree. begin TO talk politics? And
why. pray. did he begin to defend the
Republican administration?

to denunciation of the "knownothing'

more kindly eye upon Mr.. Clayton,
as it took special occasion for giving
warm praise 10 a speech delivered by

what he considered an arbitrary in
fringement of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty by Great Britain. The issue
of an anti Maine law Legislature

were conversant with its career, that
during the two years of the prohibit
