AN AIL-AMER1CAN PLATFORM

AN ALL-AMERICAN PLATFORM
Within the next few weeks both
major parties will write the plat
forms under whose pledges they ask
the people Of the United States to
put them In power for the next four
years.
What will those platforms In
clude?
AS this is written no one can say.
But millions Of Americans will agree
that q time has come for all polit1-
cal parties, as well as for all citi-
zens, to rededicate themselves to the
American ideal Of individual liberty.
An "All-American" platform, based
on that foundation, should include
the following points:
Preservation Of the Constitution.
and Of its guardian, the Supreme
Court.
Restoration to the worker Of his
inalienable right to be self-support-
ing. This would include with
drawal Of the Federal Government
from private business, and policy
Of expanding public funds by con-
tracts awarded to the lowest bidder.
vigilant protection Of Freedom Of
Religion, Freedom Of Speech and
Freedom Of the Press, and Of the
right Of the citizen to retain the
fr1,its NJ his labor.
Home Rule dominant principle
In the American ideal Of freedom.
Reduction of the horde OF Bureau
cratic public offices and officials
that "harass our people and eat out
their substance"
A balanced budget.
A sound currency because q
managed currency means a manag-
ed people. It discourages all long
range individual enterprise and
menaces the savings and insurance
Of our people.
Cessation OF the use Of taxes for
coercion or oppression Of groups.
simpnfication Of tax statutes so
the people generally win know how
much government is costing them
Heavy taxation, whether direct OF
indirect, places burden on all the
people.
Civil Service standards, rather
than the spoils system, as basis Of
appointment TO federal jobs.
Constitutional protection Of the
individual citizen In the right to
live his life and conduct his affairs
without being dictated to or spied
upon by office holders.
These points will be submitted te
the platform makers Of both the
parties.-By Raymond Pitcairn.

THE VOICE OF THE LEGION

In the moment of our latest remi-
niscence, we drifted into discussion
of transports. All memories of such
must inevitably drift to those dark
gloomy nights in the sub area.
Sailors informed us, that our over
size tub was capable of about thir-
teen knots an hour. We knew that
sub sea craft were capable of about
twenty-five.
The first few days we were we'll
surrounded by the mosquito fleet, but
one night they disappeared, and we
wallowed apparently alone, across the
briny deep.
AS this may have been all well
planned by the powers that were, so
there is no intended criticism.
Time hung heavy on the hands, we
were cramped for space, so the cohe-
sive game of crap became the popu-
lar pastime. 1t flourished in every
available space, until we were notified
of tanker sunk just ahead of US.
Then came the metamorphosis of
indoor golf. When night fell, there
was no sign of convoy, despite the
dangerous waters and all. Had you
desired you could not have slept for
the prayer meetings.
Local preachers and laiety threw
dice overheard, and all Joined in pious

One of the ole Romeos of the Twin
Cities returned to attend the Mime
sofa U. It's none other than Mr.. Lloyd
Clark. He is residing in Minneapolis.
We're glad you are back, but sorry
you're not in St. Paul. A certain
young lady regrets it, especially she
sorta' misses seeing you as often as
in the days of yesteryear. (Smiles).
What certain young lady in Min
neapolis, who hasn't seen her st.
Paul boy friend in such long time,
that she sends him carfare to get
across the river? Well, when you get
lonesome you'll do things like this.
Little Mr.. o. S. might know some
thing about things of this sort.
l received letter from young
fellow, former visitor of st. Paul,
Mr.. Gene Cough, of Kansas City. He
tells me he has worked up to Ford
car, and has done quite bit of travel
ing this summer. And, by Jove, if he
hasn't gone out for football. Well, all
right then, Gene. 1t won't be long
before he'll be headed this way again.
Attending all these late dances
sure have tendency to break up
these love affairs. At any rate it so

happened to them and it can happen
to you. Take it easy pals.

SPORTS
By Bob Anderson

Judging from the way those two
teams played Saturday, we sure had
something to be proud of, and will
have in the near future. l hope,
don't you?
l wish to extend my heartest con-
gratulations to all of those people
who came out to see the two games
last Saturday. Both games were
really worthwhile to see. l know
you all were proud of the boys who
won them. The scores were % to 0
over their opponent and for the
Renesans their score was to 0.
Fine running in the backfield was
shown by Halle @. Browns team.
Eddie Smith carried the ball 60
yards on the kick off for a touch
down. Fine running Eddie. Also a
lots of credit goes to the blockers
because they did good job of it.
Superior blocking and tackling was
also shown by the Renesans' line and
backfield.
Those reverses of the Renesans
were working accurately, but the
passes were not clicking so we'll, but
after watching the gruelling practice
of the -Renesans, they will sure be
ready for the Margaret Merchants.
Thanks to pastor of Welcome Hall
Church who has supplied the team
with wearing apparel and material.
One of the young ladies of the
community wrote me letter asking
why l did not write up girl sports
a bit. My answer is, I will do my
best to find and uncover the news
that you young ladies hold so secret.
I have been around for the last few
days and so far have found no girls
sports to write about, so therefore l
hold no malice against OF Bob. So
if any of you young ladies have any
news don't hold it back.
Until next week, so long,
Bob.

gymnastics. In every corner echoed
the old spirituals. They ran the
gamut of every creed peculiar to the
group. In the testimonial meetings
youth gave way to the sing song
drone of age old exhortation.
Morning broke, and from every
where it seemed came the scouts, back
from securing the sea. Cruisers, sub
chasers, racing around before, be-
hind, on either side. In the feeling
of security there was a swift dissi-
patton of religious atmosphere.
Men sat around on deck engaged in
some pursuit on which they seemed
to have reached heights of concentra-
ton.

Boy, the crowd surely did swing to
that mellow, melodious music of Eli

on Monday night. All the ladies

expression, while dancing with a par
ticular loved one, and some with an
expression as if it was the "sense of
duty" At any rate, everybody had a
grand time, and me waiting for the
