Reasons for Joining American
Legion Given at Meeting

AS an added incentive to the
American Legion drive for member
ship, ten reasons were read at the
bi-monthly meeting of the local or
ganization Monday night why an eX-
service man should join the American
Legion.
They are as follows: -
1. Because the Legion keeps alive
atty to country and ideal citizenship,
upon which he stood while in the ser
vice of the colors.
2. Because it Identifies a man as
one of standing in his community and
makes of him an example of good
citizenship for his children and neigh
bors.
3. Because the Legion has been the
organization which caused every bit
of legislation to be passed for the
benefit of the veteran, and the vet
eran may need the Legion again.
4. Because, if veterans do not up
hold the strength of the Legion now,
while its power is at its peak of ten
years of existence, future benefits for
all veterans will be effected.
5. Because, except for the Grace of
God, the veterans might easily have
been one of the disabled today, and
he owes it to those boys who suffer
all the days to uphold strength of
the Legion in order that justice may
continue for them.
6. Because, some day the veterans
own orphans or his own widow may
need the Legion's guardianship and
help.
Z. Because, he owes it to his moth
er, sister or wife to lead them into
the wholesome association of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
8. Because, good fellowship among
the comrades of the Legion, wherever
they meet is an open door to many
lifelong business associations of mu-
tual benefits to veterans.
9. Because, the public trusts and
has abiding faith in Legion endeavors,
and membership opens up unlimited
avenues for leadership in ones own
community, the extent of which is
limited only by the veterans own
ability.
10. Because, it is priceless priv
lege that marks man not only for
what he was, as all veterans are
marked, but for what he is today,
man of character and worth; man
wide-awake and eager for opportuni-
ties of the right kind; man who has
voice in public affairs, for when a
man signs up with the Legion, that
man subscribes to the Legion pro-
gram which has never failed

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS

President Hoover departed some
what from the precedent by laying
major emphasis in his inaugural adj
dress on the weakness of our present
system of criminal justice. 1t is a
weakness which the generation of the
American Revolution desired in gov
eminent, for the rebellious Colonials
were eager to escape judicial as we'll
as administrative oppression The
Federal judicial system was very
weak at the beginning. 1t was left to
John Marshall to establish later its
power of annul unconstitutional legis-
lation. With it's rather limited Grim
inal jurisdiction it succeeded in escap-
ing many Of the reproaches hurled at
state enforcement of criminal laws,
until the Eighteenth Amendment and
the Volstead act clogged and par
alyzed its machinery.
Criminal law in the states is beyond
the scope of Federal action. The
President says, however, that the
Federal government must set an ex-
ample of judicial reform and reorgan-
ization for purposes. of law enforce
ment. Such task, long delayed, will
require an enormous effort. The
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-03-07

President will appoint national COM
mission to investigate "the whole
structure of our Federal system of
Jurisprudence, to include the method
of enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment and the causes of abuse
under it." He will recommend trans
fer of large part of the enforcement
activities from the Treasury Depart
ment to the Department of Justice.
This transfer cannot be made for
some time and the commissions in
vestigation will cover months. No
very immediate change in prohibition
enforcement is, therefore, in prospect.
The whole country, vets and drys
alike, would like to see the commits
sion dig deep and be thorough. More
stringent enforcement, when it comes,
should come under the most favorable
circumstances. The prohibition expert
ment ought to have a complete test in
order to satisfy both its supporters
and its opponents that it is either
workable or unavoidable. We believe
that such a test must inevitably be
followed by modification or repeal and
the substitution of new system of
liquor control. We think that the
moderate opinion of the country is
steadily shifting toward this view.
But only final test can unite the ma
ton upon reform.
Apart from this discussion of
very practical and urgent problem the
address was devoted to summary of
the ideas and aspirations which lay
behind the Presidents extraordinarily
successful candidacy last year. He
merges his own policies with the
Coolidge policies. Among the things
he stands for are maintenance and en-
largement of prosperity, economy in
administration, an advance in educa-
ton and care of public health, eco
nomic development which will help
all and yet keep open the door of OPP
portunity for all, the encouragement
of private initiative, peace and friend
ly relations with other nations but no
embarrassing political partnerships,
good will at home and abroad, the les
sening Of poverty and the unhamp-
cred working out of the American eX-
pertinent of freedom, self govern
ment, tolerance and intellectual and
spiritual progress.
The inaugural address was really a
condensed embodiment of the Presi-
dents political philosophy as outlined
by him in the last campaign 1t car
ried its appeal then to all sections of
the country. 1t represents a twentieth
century spirit of Americanism, re-
newing the Americanism of the eigh-
teenth and nineteenth centuries. Our
problems now will yield to this spirit
as they did in earlier days. 1t sets
standards which are rooted in the
new as well as the old American
faith. The 1929 inaugural has, there
fore, the breadth, nobility and vision
associated with other great inaug-
urals. 1t strikes with equal dignity
and distinction the deepest notes of
our present and our past.-New York
Tribune.

PRESIDENT HOOVER.

The American people have well
coined Herbert Hoover to the Presi-
dency of the United States. 1t is a
big job, one of the biggest any man
anywhere has ever been called to fill.
He accepts the leadership of a
united country. There are sectional,
party and class interests, but in the
minds of the rank and file of citizens
these divisions are secondary to that
larger community of interest which
makes US Americans. He was elect
ed by large majority, but he is
President of all. Without this unity
of the nation no President could gov
ern wisely and we'll For the essence
of democracy is the reciprocal re-
lation between government and peo-
pie.
He accepts the leadership of pros
porous country. He is spared the
problems of war reconstruction, of
debased currency, of industrial chaos,
of wholesale unemployment, of gen
eral poverty which in less happy
times have cursed this country and
still are blight in some other lands.
But even national unit and prosper
ity cannot make the problem of gov
eminent here simple one. Our very
size as a nation, our unprecedented
wealth and power magnify the prob
lens. The mass is unwieldly, dis
tance strains direct representation
and spreads law enforcement thin.
Prosperity itself begets ever larger
industrial and financial units, which
dwarf the balancing power of farm
ers and laborers which challenge the
very governments sway.
To national are added international
problems. Ours is an invisible en-
pire of loans, of investments, of trade
vaster and more powerful than the
territorial empires of old The world
works for us. No major development
can occur in any country without af-
fecting some American interest. And
by the policies of Washington and the
rates of Wall Street the whole world
is touched for good or ill.
If ever man was fitted for this
gigantic task of American and world
leadership Hoover seems to be that
man. He is trained as an engineer,
an organizer, an administrator. His
experience is national and inter
national. Already he has had enough
of wealth and fame. He has no selfish
interest to gain. He has the ability
and the freedom to serve the people
And he has the peoples faith.
They believe in him. Their trust will
be his strength if he finds himself
with his back to the wall, protecting
the nations interests from partisan
groups, from selfish politicians and
from predatory wealth.
The great responsibility of this
high office must humble Herbert Hoo
yer today. The confidence which is
poured out upon him in such gener-
Gus measure, must humble him even
more in conservation to his task. Just
because he comes to the office so well
equipped, just because he is so widely
trusted he must not fail.
We believe he will succeed. And
we wish him health and happiness in
the service of our country.
