eve had no business going into
that war. 1t was no affair of ours"
said man on the streets Of Newber-
ry Saturday afternoon upon being
told of the significance of the little
red poppies that were being sold.
Those who were present at the last
meeting of our post and heard DR..
Cromer's address will remember that
he warned US that there would be
those among us who would rise up and
say that the United States had no
business in the world war, and he
added that it would be the duty of the
members of the American legion to
keep fresh in the minds of the people
the high ideals that led US into the
fight.
''The right is more precious than
peace, and we shall fight for the
things which we have always carried
nearest our hearts-for democracy,
for the right of those who submit to
authority to have voice in their own
governments, for the rights and liber-
ties of small nations, for universal
dominion of right by such concert
of free peoples as shall bring peace
and safety to all nations and make the
world itself at last free"
"To such a task we can dedicate
| our lives and our fortunes, everything
that we are and everything that we
have, with the pride of those who
! know that the day has come when
America is privileged to spend her
blood and her might for the principles
that gave her birth and happiness,
and the peace which she has treasur-
ed. God helping her, she can do no
{ other" So spake President Wilson
to congress, April 2, 1917. AS we
wear the poppy and bow our heads
in memory of the men and women
! who gave up their lives in this cause,
we do we'll that we read this message
again.
Today under the leadership OF the
American legion wreaths have been
placed on the graves of American SOL
