A peculiar thing in the case was that
the divorce and alimony were granted
to the lady herself, on the ostensiblo

family discipline, which the husband
proceeded to administer, however just
fiable in itself, was in excess of that
allowed by the law in such case made

liberty with license, and that enthusi-
astic men in the full enjoyment of
their freedom may turn a blessing
into curse. To make that less and
less possible, the Lions clubs stand
together in solid links demanding in
teligence. They are the friends of the
public schools. They lend the full
power and force of organization for
the securing of educational oppor-
tunities for every boy and girl in the
bounds of this nation. They recog-
nize the fae5 that the Lions must
walk in the light of intelligent pa
triotism or that the walk viii lead
us to destruction. In the Lions edu-
cational systems they not only wish
to see a training of the head and
hand but they wish a training that
will produce sterling character IN
telligence that is not productive of
moral strength is delusion and a
snare.
The Lions are loyal to the country
and to the community and to the
homes. In the trinity of social life
they stand as one, and everything
that they desire for the nation they
wish to see become a part of our
community, and what is good for the
community is good for the home of
the individual. We do not lose sight
Of the fact that the nation is made
up of individuals and the national
character is determined by the sum
of individual characters. Therefore,
the Lions insist upon individual in
tegrity in thought, word and deed.
They further insist that this integrity
shall be manifested by the devotion
to one flag and by the loyal adoption
of one language. Wherever Old Glory
waves our hearts beat with new
hope and whenever we hear our COM
mon tongue spoken in eloquent APP
peal we take fresh courage and press
on towards higher ideals. We teach
our young people to hold the flag in
reverence and to use that speech

signed the Declaration of Independ-

Yorktown. They builded the consti-

lines of our development. They have
preserved our nation in every crisis.
They are the guiding stars of our
career. An intelligent citizenship is
the only hope of Lionism. In its
promotion and protection is the op-
portunity we seek. To them we here
today consecrate anew our money,
our time and our hearts.
Labor and capital can never travel
peacefully together except along the
great observation-disclosures highway.
There they can march and counter
march but never shed each others
blood in ignorant riot or hate. The
foreigner in our midst must be led
into intelligent Americanism. He
will never arrive if left alone. Our
