Church.
"I.inceln." he said, stood for the
highest sense of conscious honor. In
Illinois, as a clerk selling sugar. he
was known as Honest Abe. AS
President his hand was just rough
enough never to slip from the poor
mans hand stretched forth in its di-
rection.
The consummate virtue of Lincoln
was his moral grandeur. injustice,
dishonesty, falsehood were never
heard in the vocabulary of his soul.
He was absolutely square, built on

est musical organizations, the Wen

Orioles, women songsters. this
year.
In previous years it has been
customary for both organizations
to make a two weeks tour through
out Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan.
At the end of last years school
term, however, authorities of An
gustana declared that in the future
these trips would be discontinued,
stating that they took too mucn
time away from the school work OF
members of the organization.
Members Of the Wennerbergs and
Orioles declare that unless this
trip is granted there will be little
incentive for their organizing and
putting in the required time OF
practice.
While it is true that the person

selected by director Arvid Samuel

VETS SEE JOKER IN
STATE BONUS BILL

Springfield, lil.-HaS joker
been slipped into the state soldier
bonus bin! Some members OF the
American legion investigating the
matter have complained that there
is something peculiar about thc
number of votes required to make
the law effective.
1t appears from a reading Of the
bill, the legionnaires said, that a
majority Of votes cast for men,
bers of the general assembly at the
coming general election will be re-
quired to pass the law, instead Of a
majority of votes cast on the
proposition.
The last section of bonus act
reads as follows:
1.-The provisions Of this act for
contracting the debt of $55,000,000
and issuing bonds to that amount
and for levying annually a tax to
pay the interest and principal OF
these bonds as herein provided,
shall 60 into full force and effect
upon receiving at the general cleo
ton at which 1t is submitted, the
majority of votes required by sec
ton IS, article w of the constitu-
ton"
Section Is, article w of the con-
stitution referred to provides that
the state cannot contract such q
debt unless the law authorizing il
shall receive "a majority of the
votes cast for members Of the gen.
eral assembly"
1t is apparent, according to legioI
members, that the bonus act mus
receive much greater vote to pass
under this provision than would b.
necessary If only a majority Of the
votes cast on the proposition Itself
were required. ,
Many inquiries have been made
by those interested in the act al
the office of Secretary Of State
Emerson as to the exact wording Of
the bill. but whether legal assist
ance will be enlisted to discover il
the bill is properly worded has
not been determined.

LEGION HoNORED ALL DEAD
Organization Participated In Services
at Final lnterment Of Men
Brought Home.

Army transports in which many of
them went across eager for the con-
fiict have carried back the last of the
$4,000 A. K. F. dead, those relatives
had requested to be returned to this
country for permanent burial. The
graves registration service of the
army, which had the work of return
ing these bodies In charge, did an al
most superhuman task.
No organization was so well suited
TO perform the last rights OF honor
and respect for these soldier dead as
was the American Legion. The men of
the Legion took upon themselves the
obligation. Forty ship loads of bodies
came TO eastern ports during a period
of two and half years. II was not
always possible to have an elaborate
service, because the arrivals were too
frequent, but in every instance there
was at least prayer by a chaplain
of the Protestant, Catholic or Jewish
faith, an address by a prominent clti-
zen or arm! officer and rifle salute.
A number of times, however, the
services were noteworthy. President
Harding delivered an address at
services arranged by the Legion. May
%, 1921. when the Princess Matoika
arrived with 451 bodies. General
Pershing and Senator Lodge spoke
when the Somme and the Wheaton ar

the Legion was organized in France
Mr.. BOlles has been identified with 1t.
Since its first convention in MInneapo-
