Daniel Webster and
the Calamity HOwlers:

On March 18th, 1888, nearly 100
years ago Daniel Webster in speech III
the IT, S. Senate used the following
words:
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain of oppression,
speculation and pernicious influence OF
accumulated wealth. They cry out
loudly against all banks and corpora
tions, and all means by which small
capitalists become united in order 10
produce important beneficial results.
They carry on mad hostility against
all established institutions. They
would choke the fountain of industry
and dry all streams. In country OF
unbounded liberty they clamor against
oppression. In country of perfect
equality they would move heaven and
earth, against privilege and mono
poly. In country where property is
more evenly divided than anywhere
earth, against privilege and mono
else they rend the air shouting agrari-
an doctrines. In a country where wag
es of labor are high beyond parallel,
they would teach the laborer he is but
an oppressed slave. Sir, what can such
men want. What do they mean? They
can want nothing, Sir, but TO enjoy
the fruits of other mems labor. They
can mean nothing but disturbance and
disorder, the diffusion of corrupt prin
ciples and the destruction of moral
sentiments and moral habits of so
ciety".
Evidently there is nothing new und-
er the sun The descendants of the
calamity hoWlerS are bowling the
same howls 100 years later. If they
had been listened to not railroad
could have been built, and Minnesota
would still be a bowling wilderness

THE FATHER OF A NATION.

How providential seem the services
of the truly great? writes Royal A..
Stone of St. Paul, in charge of patrio-
tic activities for the Minnesota Legion
State Americanism Commission in Il
message to Minnesota Legionaires
What man Of his time, other than
Washington, had the strength, the
noise. the faith, the courage the wis
dom, the military skill to direct sue
cessfully, through the long dark years
of the Revolution, the military affairs
of the Colonies? But great as were
his services as soldier during the
war, Washington's efforts as a civilian
after the war were as great, or great
er, and probably more valuable He
presided over the Convention of 1887
which gave us the ordinance of our
nationality, the foundation and frame
work of our national greatness, the
Federal Constitution. To what extent
it's substance is due to his wisdom and
his counsel is not known, but we do
know that, had it not been for his
aggressive support, his own state of
Virginia would not have approved it,;
and that without Virginia's approval
the Constitution probably would never
have been adopted by the requisite
number of states and in consequence
the United States as nation might
never have come into existence. Let
us be specially reminded. then, by this
natal day of Washington, that the
services and duties of peace, parti-
cularly those of Legionaires, are no
less important than those Of war. In
this year of Grace, 1923, February
22d will be particularly significant to
Legionaires, for it is going to the day
of victory in our campaign for 10000
members"
DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE AND
REMINDER.
In an address made on the anniver-
sary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln,
February 18th, Mr.. Stone said:
Thoughtful Americans are distress
ed by the tendency of our people to
overlook the significance and purpose
of our national holidays. We of the
American Legion, who believe in the
education of true Americanism, may
well pause and consider this subject.
What are these days of patriotic signi-
ficance that they have been set aside
for special and solemn observance
They are Days OF. Remembrance And
Reminder,-of remembrance in that
they call to mind great men, great
services and resulting great events;-
of reminder, in that they solemnly adj
monish us of the duties of our match

do its worst.
The rain suddenly came down,
but the mixers kept on. When the

become hackneyed phrase. but it's
truth is often argued in the case of

The pathos that entered such a
case has formed the theme for a
unique screen story in 1.-The Ghost
