Demands Political Modification.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. s1.-Modi-
fication of the political clause in the
American Legion's constitution was
ed at the Legion's convention here
today by Oscar E. Carlstrom Of Aledo,
ILL.,, commander-in-chief of the Unit
ed Spanish Wa Veterans, himself a
member of the American Legion.
Capt. Carlstrom brought greetings
from his Organization. :,
THE patriotism which gave service
in wal can be translated into a
patriotism of service in time Of peace
and under our form Of government
can only be expressed by participa-
ton in the shaping of public policies
and the choosing of men charged
with the duty of carrying out those
policies" Captain Carlstrom said.
This means participation In poll
tics, not necessarily partisan and in
deed under no circumstances com
mercialized- politics.
What America and her states need
today as much az any one thing is
non-commercialized politics - politics
based upon integrity and sincerity OF
service to the state. What body OF
men and women can be looked to
with greater confidence to lead and
strengthen such a movement than the
service men and women?
Had the American Legion and
kindred service organizations a de-
termined and aggressive policy look
ing to the support in a united way OF
those men who would support and
give decent confederation to their in
terests. there might not now be the
lack of adjustment economically that
exists between the condition of the
service men and those who f~attenec
by unconscionable profits and con.
tract settlements during and after the
war. Sooner or later it must and viii
come. Let US act now"

salaried elective public Office to hold

made by boiling and steaming the

I'VE have machinists from the vari-
Gus trades who are utilizing their
evenings studying drawing and shop
mathematics to improve themselves
for their practical daily work. We
also have students occupying drafting
positions who are seeking additional
instruction in advanced work, such as
machine design, strength of materials
