SERVES US RIGHT

American Legion Weekly The
whirligig of time usually brings its
revenges. Those who used to fume
because our best soldiers were used
in Paris as bellhops and errand boys
for the American Peace Commission
have at last extracted a laugh out of
that painful situation.
When the American representatives
first started for the Hotel CTillon in
Mr.. Wilson's train, a guard of honor
for the president was demanded, and
only the finest and most battle-scarred
of the A. E. F. veterans were even al
lowed to volunteer. From these vol
unteers a magnificent detachment was
selected, and when they marched off
TO Paris they were just about the
best American product on view in the
world. They were the pride of every
American in France.
Great. therefore was the wrath of
the onlookers when these men were
made orderlies around a Paris hotel.
Great was the suppressed enthusiasm
when one OF them stared a passing
professor-major out of c~ountenance.
Don't you ever salute?' asked the
major coldly. NO" replied the old,
war-horse, just as coldly. Why not?
Aren't you a soldier" mo, I'm an
elevator boy"
Well, it has all come out all right.
For our sins the taxpayers must turn
over s125,S70.s2 to the Hotel Crillon
TO replace the wrecked and tattered
carpets of that handsome edifce. That
bill should be duly receipted and filed
in the archives of the war department
in an envelope marked: The Re-
venge Of the Hob-Nailed Shoe"
Every man who served during the
World wal and was %honorably dis
charged from the army, is entitled
to a Victory medal. All that is nee
essary to secure this medal Is to for
ward the discharge to the Victory
Medal Dept, Aberdeen, or the Victory
Medal Dept, State Capitol, Pierre,
and the office force on duty will fill
out the application and return it to
the applicant for his signature. The
discharge will not leave the local Of
flee, so there need be no uneasiness
o its being lost. In case OF death
the mex of kin is entitled to this
medal. and 1t can be obtained by fur
nishing this Office with the name, or
ganization and serial number; IL Dos
sible. OF the deceased soldier"

Ford Writer Cdlzed tO Detroit Will Run for Next Delegate to Congress

The persistent reports that Dan Sutherland will not be candidate for reelection, and the constant rumors that Thomas B. Drayton will be con testant for the Republican nomination for Delegate in Congress, has a good many of the ear marks of deal ar ranged before the last Delegates ciec- tion. This is particularly so when talk en in connection with other reports coming from high political circles. All things considered the situation will bear watching; although we don't know anything about the matter ex- cept as indicated by surface appear ances.
 The two matters may be purely ac- cidental and unrelated, but at the time the reports of Sutherland's retirement began to appear in the newspapers, other reports began to drift in from the Outside that Henry Ford would like to have Drayton represent the Territory in Congress. Very soon after it became known generally that Ford had summoned his Alaska literary rep resentative to conference at Detroit early in September, and that the con- ference will bear upon Alaska mat ters. The Delegate race may or may not be the main object of the propos-

ed heart talkfest, but that it will be on subjects of importance may be imagined from the fact that letters and telegrams are not satisfactory means of communication in this par ticular instance.
 If it can be proved that the big auto mobile manufacturer is nosing into Al aska local politics it will likely put crimp into the whoe scheme, and Dray tons friends need lose no more sleep over the fight they expect to be made against their man by the Washington bureaus and the Pinchot conservation ists in the states. Outside support, how ever powerful, would be extremely dangerous for any Alaska candidate.
 In noting these circumstances it is but common fairness to add that MT. Drayton's friends deride the idea that Ford has any connection with the pro fessional writer's candidacy beyond a friendly interest; that his claim for support will rest entirely upon his ef- fective fight for Alaska in recent years; and, they add with much as- surance, that it any candidate the Dem ocrats can produce can be coaxed in to a series of joint debates on the stump, their man would win in walk

A PROTEST IN ADVANCE

A new question has been sprung in connection with the holding of Presi dent Harding's disarmament confer ence. The intimation got abroad that it would he held behind closed doors and there has been prompt and em- phatic protest against a proposition of that kind.
 If ever a conference should be held in public it would seem to be one in which the whole world has such a keen interest. The problems to be dis cussed are vital to every country.
 In so great a matter as the disar- mament of the world there should be no attempt as secret diplomacy" a policy which has been responsible for most if not all the great wars of the past.
 Let the disarmament conference be open to the public, so the world may know just what is said and done. To hold a secret conference on matter of this kind will create distrust and may cause the failure of the whole undertaking.

SPEEDING UP EDUCATION

Some very able men who have been studying our education needs and problems say the time must come, and may not be very long delayed, when our school and college buildings will be in use the year round, and six days in a week from January to December, and that our teachers will be employed for full years service.
 Children may not attend school for the full year, perhaps. Some may go to school part of the time and work part of the time. Those who put in full time on their studies will be able to complete their education just that much sooner. The same rule will ap- ply to colleges and universities.
 There is no reason why our school and college buildings should stand idle for three months or more during a year. This is an economic waste.
 And it is a mistake to employ teach CTS for nine months or less in a year When they work full time and get full time pay, as do people in other lines of work, they will do better work and they will be better satisfied.

THE PEOPLE AND THE COURTS

In a Mississippi county not long ago a mob broke into the jail one night, took a prisoner-a white man-from the sheriff and hanged him to a near by tree The man had been convicted of the murder or a woman and was under sentence of death, but his law yers had appealed to the supreme court for new trial.
 This lynching cannot be excused, of course, for it was terrible wrong. But it can be explained, at least to some extent. The people, or a part of the people, feared that the delays and technicalities of the law would be used to thwart the ends of justice.
 During the same week the grand jury in South Carolina court formal ly asked the presiding judge to impose heavier sentences upon persons con- victed of violating the prohibition laws. The grand Jury said, in other words, that persons convicted of this 'ofiense were not being sufficiently punished.
 The two instances are cited to em- phasize a fact which must be clear to everybody, and that is that there is a growing impatience with the way justice is being administered in our courts. There are too many ways by which criminals may escape their deserts.
 The public conscience is becoming aroused, and judges, lawyers lawmak- CTS, jurors, and all who have to do with our courts would de well to pay attention

SACRAMENTAL WINE

Te internal revenue bureau sends out word that the rules concerning distribution of wines for sacramental purposes have been completed and that under the new order of things the churches will be granted regular channels of supply for standard sa- cramental wines.
 It is to be hoped that this will be the case. By all means the matter should be settled once and for all.
 It is to be hoped that the churches will be protected in their wine supply and that it will not be necessary ever \ to change the new regulations. We have had enough confusion and un- certainty over what should have been a very easy question to settle.
