THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LIE.
GION"

(, Fargo Forum: After telling "the
truth about Germany" and ''the truth
about Russia" and "the truth about
the Nonpartisan league" The Nation.
has undertaken to tell ''the truth about
the American Legion"
Here is a sample of "the truth"
from the July 9Th, issue:
"By the constitution of the United
States three branches of government
were established, the legislative, the
executive, and the judicial. In the
last two years fourth has been set
up: the American Legion. Organ
lied ostensibly to continue the friend
ships that devolved on the fighting
forces and to advance the legitimate
interests of former service men, the
Legion has grown away from that in
to super-government. It gives or
ders to public officers and is fearfully
consulted by them; it is accorded
quasi-oficial standing through, the
privilege of occupying government
buildings y y it has established a
censorship Of public meetings and by
actual or threatened violence suppress
es freedom of speech; it is attempting
to dictate the instruction in our pub
lie schools and pass upon the quail
ifcations of the teachers; although
nominally nonpolitical, it has actually
sponsored host of bigoted and re-
pressive laws and policies, impeding
the return Of the rest of the comrnun-
ity to q more normal existence"
The two chief purposes in life Of
The Nation and The New Republic
are to scoff at anything that is Amer
lean, and to misinform the fatheads
Of America who pose at intellect
uals."
Fortunately the numerical limita-
tions of the American "intellegentzia"
restrict the possibilities for harm Of
these two precious organs of the up
lift, except for the fact that they pro-
vide the ideas and the radical jargon
for all the little red editors Of the
country. Mr.. Lemke's local publica-
tion, for example, recently publicly
proclaimed its blood brotherhood with
The Nation. It might be interesting
to know If this blood brotherhood will
involve approval Of the latest attack
~, +ho American oo,;n,, p 81
But If the Legion Is a sfbranch Of
the government" " what about organic
led lahpr, the various farmers organic
zations, and most Of all the Nonparti-
san league that hold q secrt caucus
which assumes al the functions Of
our state legislature :?

were on bases, but failed to cross the
plate before three were out. Linton
didn't get any in their half, the score

lowing reply:
Governor Davis out of state but
received your Montello wire over

were. He also boasted of the fact
that he knew of the kidnapping hours
