Paragraph 3. Section o. Article T. Of

Tense Of the late soldiers and sailors

2 proper appreciation Of their serv-
ices TO the country. and 10 the Prop
ct recognition Of such services and
claims by the American people"
This unhappy wording allowed
loophole for politicians TO crawl
through and as a result politicians
were soon leading the organization
and attempting 10 make the organi-
zation back them for their own per-
sonal or party gain. The Grand Army
. Immediately became involved in pol
itics and carried II 20 such an eX-
tent that soon instead Of gaining in
membership IL began 90 lose rapidly
until soon it was a mere skeleton OF
what it had been.
Another mistake was the adoption
in their ritual OF a system OF ranN-
ing Of the members. in which those
belonging TO the organization for
the longest time held the highest
rank. Those who were recent mem
bers had no voice in the discussion
until they had been members for
some time This caused a great deal
OF i'll feeling among the members
and hurt IL very much
In 1859. knowing that something
must be done at once, a convention
was held and the c. a. r. was re-
organized. From that time on il grew
10y leaps and bounds. reaching its
. largest strength in 1850. when IL be-
gan to decrease, this being caused
by deaths In their ranks
When the American Legion was
organized, the men who drafted the
articles Of organization had studied
the history of the c. A. r. so they
: proftted by the mistakes the old or
ganization had made in its infancy,
and drew W articles which were
| very binding i'm this respect. Article
/ II ~ its constitution covers this very
we'll:
Section 1.-The American Legion
/ is a civilian organization; member
! ship therein does not affect nor in
crease liability for military or police
| service. Rank does not exist in the
! Legion; no member shall be adj
> dressed by his military or naval title
in any convention or meeting Of the
Legion.
Section 2-The American Legion

Section 3-Each member shall

These foregoing sections show
! conchsively how the Legion stands
/ on these same matters that nearly
broke up the Grand Army. Since
the constitution or the Legion was
drafted. every officer and member

a whole does not wish The results
Of these efforts are clearly known to
all and may we continue 10 keep our

k|RV|N, TEXAS,
| IS NORMALLY A
\ QUIET VILLAGE
Has Been the Scene, How
ever, of the Burning OF
Three Negroes at the
Y Stake BY MobS Recently.
{By The Associa /. I'd Pisss)

Kervin, Texas, July 4.-To the
Casual visitors there is little in
Kervin, Texas, and its vicinity in
Freestone county to indicate the
scenes of excitement in the last
few weeks, in which three ne
groes were burned at a stake,
and armed men have rushed to
the village from surrounding
counties as a result Of reports of
threatened race riots.
u Kervin is small country
town, with possibly 900 or $50
Inhabitants. The whites are in
1.-THE majority. Excitement would
Sbe the last thing expected, but
since marital law was declared by
Governor Neff in Intestine and
Freestone counties early in the
year and state rangers and
guardsmen raided alleged moon
shine distilleries, there has been
plenty Of action and publicity.
1t would be difficult to find a
6more typical twentieth century
country village than this small
Aplace in the Freestone county
gtimberlands which named itself
after one of the first families to
settle this section. A lone rail-
road and two or three dirt roads
Heading to neighboring villages
form the only connecting links
with the outside world.
The railroad. constructed about
Is years ago, is traversed COM
paratively little, there being only
4 two daily passenger trains, one
north and one south, and ali

now and then some additional
supplies for the village stores,
are features of much interest to
the populace.
There are no paved streets; but
they are hardly needed. The
streets and roads in and around
kervin are laid over firm sandy
soil, and a very heavy rain
would be necessary to make
them at all hard to travel. One
principal street bisects the bust
ness section. The depot is at
one end of the thoroughfare and
the bank building, the latter the
only brick structure in town.

Across from the bank is the

recent excitement here this single
line proved altogether inadequate
to meet the demands upon it.
The town boasts nothing re-
sembling a moving picture show,
or even a dance hall, SO far as a
casual observer could see. Two
churches form at once houses Of
worship and social centers.
Farming is the chief industry,
cotton and peaches being the
leading products. The best farm

residents Of the county.
