POSITION CLEAR ON RESOLU.
TION SENT A. r. JOHNSON

Arcadia, La, July 3.-To the Bien
vile Democrat, Shreveport Times
Picayune, Baton Rouge Times, pub
lish the fOllowin:
The resolution Of the State Senate
of date June 3Oth, 1922, have
placed the Hamp Michael Post of the
American Legion in the position of
unjustly criticising Senator A. r. John
son from this district.
On accout Of these resolutions con
demning the local post, and the pub
licity given the resolutions, tending
to give the impression that Senator
Johnson has been unfairly taken tC
task, its members feel that their true
position should be made known, and
respectively ask that the same pub,
licity be given this communication as
was given the resolutions of the State
Senate condemning their action.
The members of the Hamp Michael
Post have every respect and regard
for our worthy Senator Johnson, and
thoroughly resent any insinuation
that they have aimed an insult at
their SENATOR This post cannot help
but feel, however. that Senator John,
sons vote has placed the Tweny.
Fourth District in an unenyiaMe light
and whatever may have been the rea
sons to justify him in casting said
vote. has not been fair to them and
to the people Of this district.
The members Of the Hamp Michael
Post, furthermore believe firmly in
the principle of the freedom of speech
which are fundamental principles OF
our government, and have sought an
exercise Of these principles under Sec,
ton One and Section Five Of the Bill
Of Rights Of our state constitution,
They feel that in the action they took
they were entirely within their con.
stitutional rights.
Respectfully,
Hamp Michael Post No. 70, Ameri'
can Legion.
The above communication was writ
ten by the post 70 the above news
papers after IT had passed resolutions
protesting against Senator Johnson's
act in casting the only opposing vote
vote against the Weinmann Bill ap.
propriating $4,000 to take care Of
the expenses Of the National Ameri'
can Legion Convention in New Orleans
this fall, the State Legislature having
invited the convention here, and the
Senate having passed resolutions con-
demning the local post for its, reso
lutions, criticising Senator johnson.
This in answer to the Senate resO1u'
tons.

ed to rank among the best ever given
in our town will be staged at the
! high school auditorium on next Tues

Society. The production is being
staged under the management Of the
Wayne P. Sewell Lyceum Co., Of At

ent is being coached by represen'
tative of this company.
The is a three-act musical comedy
dealing in Dan Cupid's method OF con
ouering so-called marble hearts. There
| is lots of music and the song hits are
right ND to the minute, and the play
which is entitled the "Micr0be of
Love-, is said to be just one laugh
after another.
Mrs Wagner, who organized the
Lambuth Society several months ago
state that the proceeds received from
the play will be used for the benefit
of the town, as it is the purpose of
the Lambuth society to help in any
way they can towards the civic ad-

worthy Of note they have already &C.
complished is the concrete drinking
fountain on the high school campus
and they expect to do much more in
the near future.

the play and we are sure they will get
their moneys worth besides helping in
a worthy cause.

we'll as q treat 10 the older folks who
gathered atout and watched the little
ones with happy. smiling faces as they
approached the lodgemen and were
presented with a tox OF candy. an
orange. and an apple, apiece.

the lodge that altogether over 2.200

were presented with the good things

long leforc the time fixed for the
affair
The children approached the Home
through the now Main street entrance.
and left through side exit. This
greatly facilitated the work of those

Nothing had been left undone by the
Elks' committee TO see that every
little one had happy time. Children
of scarcely more than walking age to
those as much as II or more in years
were in the great throHg. Some even

for the kiddies. but the pleasure de-
