Legion Opens War
On Hate Schools
And Red Doctrine

War against communist hate schools
and red doctrines was decreed by
the Americanization commission OF
the American Legion, following a
series of articles which appeared In
The Minneapolis Journal describing
the activities of school of hate con-
Quoted by communists at Brule, Wis
The Brule school, which began its
session, June % and closed July 26
was investigated by the commission
and Garland w. Powell, retiring
member of the commission, in report
submitted today said the school was
under the direction of and financed
by the Third International Of Mos
cow, Bolshevist headquarters.
The commissions findings, made
public are to be submitted to the ma
tional convention of the Legion, which
is to be conducted at Omaha, October
to 9.
The commission is to institute meas
ures Immediately to combat the
teachings of 'hate schools" and COM
munist doctorines. A special sub
committee, consisting of Frank C.
Sieh, of Aberdeen, S. D., John B.
Jessup of Wilmington, DEL, and John
Burlington of Belleville, ILL.,, has been
appointed to formulate plans for a
drive against the preaching of dis
loyalty to American institutions and

ton question and a comprehensive
plan is to be submitted to the Omaha

Be A Better Man Than
Dad.

When l was a boy, they used to
admonish youngsters to strive to be
as good men as our daddies had been
before US. They seemed to regard
that as the natural limit of any boys
ambition. But if it were 1, / wouldn't
tell boy anything of the sort. On
the other hand, would tell him that
if he didn't grow UP to BID mighty
sight better man than his dad had
been, Iwould regard him as failure,
or at least as not having measured up
to his opportunities.
Otherwise, what is the purpose OF
life and where does progress enter
into its formula? Each generation
has the benefit of all that previous
generations enjoyed and lot more
why shouldn't it be expected to de-
velop something superior in the way
of manhood?
And the same principle applies to
the girls. Their mothers were all
that their generations permitted them
to be, perhaps little more, but just
as the discarding of trailing skirts
and corsets has enabled this genera
ton to develop a fuller and freer
physical life, so the discarding of a
lot of conventional furbelow ought
to enable them to delevlop into a full
Ter and freer mental and moral life

The evidence gathered by special
investigators employed by Mr.. Powell
confirmed the series Of articles on
the Brule school printed in The Min
neapolis Journal. They found, ac-
cording to the report, that boys and
girls, ranging from Is to "a years
old, were being taught red doctrines
and prepared to become agitators
against the existing forms in the
United States. Instructors openly
advocated overthrow of the govern
ment, the investigators found, and
asserted that~t constitution was the
product of fraud and capitalism, all
designed to make the workers slaves
of capitalism.

Looks Like Coolidge in
1923.

President Coolidge's friends see his
reelection in 1928 a certainty. Though
once marked for political deposition,
the president has now trust of the en-
tire nation His rise is called the most
meteroic in the political history of
the United Stats. Under his conser-
vative administration the country is
returning to normally. Two years ago
Monday Calvin Coolidge was sworn
as president of this country to fill out
Mr.. Harding's term of office. He made
good as the nations chief executive
so conspiciously that the people elect
ed him President in his own right last
fall by the largest popularity ever
given candidate. Now his admirers
regard his denomination and re-elec-
ton in 1928 foregone conclusion.
Few politicians would hazard wager
+ that Mr.. Coolidge would not be re-
elected to what many would call
third term, in defiance of the un-
written law. He has smashed so many
precedents already and has confound-
ed so many prophets of i'll will, that
the politicians have learned to be
cautious. Mr.. Coolidge's great accom-
plishments is getting the country
"back to normally. He never will
have any spectacular programs, sup
porters say, but give him time enough
and he will reorganize, simplify and
make less expensive the entire fed
eral government. During the last
campaign the opposition said Coolidge
didn't talk much. His policy of tax re-
duction and economy in the govern
ment's business means more to the
folks who work for living than all
the oratory that was ever let loose

covered floor of woodland grotto,
few miles distant from Paris. to-
day after Francois Richepin, a
wealthy young Partisan, and Pierre
Brisson, dramatic critic, had duelled
after the manner of the days of
Scaramouche!
Accompanied by seconds and with
sergeons prepared to give firsE aid,
the duellers arrived in closed cars
at 1890 o'clock, each wearing a
high silk hat, bound with crepe.
The seconds stood the duellers
back to back, ordered them to take
twenty PAGES and fire.
Brisson whirled about at the
signal from the judge and fired at
his opponent, but the shot went
wide.
Young Richepin, with a grim
smile on his face like gentleman
of old France, lifted his duelling
pistol and fired into the air.
