| tional vice commander of the AM
erican Legion, scored the lcgion's
/ policy on the bonus. and what he
| called its "straddling" OF the Ku
| kluX Khan question, and spoke
warmly of its continued loss of MEM
| bership in a caucus here today which
was presided over by Sanford j. Nc
| Neyder. past national commander of
| the Legion.
kendrick, who was applauded by
| the legion men present, said he real
/ lied he was counting his own des-
/ truction as a Legion leader, but

been mentioned as strong posi-
bility for national commander at the
fifth annual convention of the Am
erican Legion, which opens here to-
| morrow.
The Legion has been steadily los
ing members since 1920 kendrick

ing the last year the loss was ap-
proximately $4,000. The total mem
bership today. he said. was about
$4,000 or Il Il per cent of the to-
tai service men in the country.
y radical change is necessary In

be undertaken by the legion if it Is
going to hold the enthusiasm Of its
membership, Mr.. Kenrick declared
Mr.. kendrick stated he favored the
following changes:
',That the American Legion weekly
be abandoned and that in it's place, q

touch with all posts Of the Legion
without going through the state or
CARNATIONS.
With the stage cleared Of the bon
US activities. with a pledge of service
to the public as a whole except In
the matter OF our disabled comrades
with friendly cooperation offered the
disabled American veterans }, the

operation offered to the war workers
OF the country. the legion might be
able to present q strong and most In :
nuentia] front to the nations In such
matters as social service, immigra-
ton. preparedness Americanisn.

The Bishop OF Colorado gave a
lecture at st. Marks church Sunday
night on the rationale of the Holy
Catholic church as a corporate body
preserving its arteries to Christ
through all of the various ages,
keeping intact the Scripture and the
Sacramento of the church as being
necessity if it was the will Of Christ
to pass on from generation to gen.
Grafton the deposit of faith.
He compared the church to an
electric plant in which the dynamo
was the group at Pentecost charged
with Gods Holy Spirit, the wire was
the Christian church bringing the
grace of Christ to this age through
transformers being the local parish
accommodating the current to the
needs of the individuals who COM
prise it and the bulbs being the In
dividuals who let their light shine
or go out as the case may be.
The Lords Table Is the bond OF
unity, not a set Of opinions and so
we believe in the church rather as
family than forum.
The Bishop was asked the question
what do you think Of the ku Klux
Klan?" He replied that so long as tne
Ku Klux Khan was a secret order,
minding its own business. he had
no opinion to give and was willing
to concede to its members the same
rights as enjoyed by the Masons and
other secret societies. He also de-
clared that the government of the
United States is bigger than any
clan, the constitution of the United
States guarantees to its citizens the
right of religious liberty, racial free
dom and trial by jury. II any BODY
of men in secret conclave attempt to
ignore or disregard these rights they
become instantly opposed to the
government and liable to its censure.
