and by the molding of youth according
to the pattern desired.
Anything that stands in the way,
religion, family life, fraternal or other
organizations with p~hilosophic prin-
ciples of their own is brushed aside
and suppressed. Just the opposite was
true in the beginnings of u beloved
country. Religion, the family, and So
cial and fraternal contacts with u
neighbors are the very cornerstones
of our nation. In using the term reli-
gion I do not mean any particular
creed or denomination, but rather a
belief in a Supreme Being, a Divine
Master who guides us in our daily lives
and deliberations. Our forefathers
were God fearing men. Of that there
can be no question. The deliberations
out of which grew these United States
were held in a deeply religious atmos-
phere. Too often this is lost sight of
in these latter years, and a great deal
of loose talk and assertions are heard
which might lead one to believe that
exactly the contrary was true.
Too often we forget the Declara-
tion of independence, and if we have
not forgotten that such an instrument
existed, we are rather hazy as to its
contents. Some quotations from that
document might be helpful in acquaint-
ing us with the atmosphere in which
the birth of this nation took place.
That Declaration, promulgated long
before we had a constitution contains
this truism: I'VE hold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with a certain inalienable
rights; that among them are life, liber-
ty, and the pursuit of happiness" Is
there amy doubt as to the philosophy of
life of the architects of our form of
government.
Many of you have doubtless seen
an inscription carved in the stone IN
our Capitol Bldg, at Lincoln, as fol-
lows: '"The salvation of the States lies
in the watchfulness of its citizens" In
that sentence there is contained, it
seems to me, a great deal of food for
thought at the present time. All Of US
are aware that for some time, and at
this moment, a campaign is being car
ried on by various organizations sew
ing the needs of dissatisfaction, intol-
erance and hate in our own and other
countries of the new world, with the
hope that by such %implantation this
country also may be turned from its
present form of government. 1t is per-
haps a paradox that in order to pre-
serve II form of government we
must permit, under the principles of
freedom of expression, assemblage,
etc., this insidious propaganda to con-
tinue, which would not for a moment
be tolerated in the very quarters from
which it has its u The only effect
ual way in which we can combat and
overcome these sinister forces which
seek to destroy our form of govern
ment and deprive us of our precious IL
berries, is to constantly inculcate in our
citizens, and especially in our youth,
by every possible means, a reverence
for the principles, ideals and traditions
Of our government. We pause in Jul
daily life on occasions such as this and
seriously review the events which led
to the founding our our beloved coun-

of its silk and crude petroleum; about
one fourth of its sugar and over one
third of its coal. We operate 60 per cent
of the worlds telegraph facilities. We
have one telephone for every seven
persons, compared to one for every IL
in the country which most nearly APP
proaches us. We own 80 per cent of all
the motor cars in use in the world. Il
our people and those of other countries
had to pack up and move by automo-
bile tomorrow, in the country which
most nearly approaches us, one would
ride and ten would walk. In another
country one would ride and 20 would
walk, and still another, one would ride
and $50 would walk. All would ride in
America. We posses approximately
one half of the worlds gold supply.
America has two thirds of all civiliza-
tion's banking resources. The purchas-
ing power of our people is greater than
that of the 500 million people in Europe
and much larger than that of one bill
lion Asiatics. In 1893 we consumed 260
billion pounds of food, an average of
one ton a person. No other country's
people were fed in like manner? We
have in America in abundance almost
everything that anyone anywhere
wants; liberty, opportunity, wealth
and security. We have the best govern
ment in the world. Every citizen in
America has the privilege to kick,
squawk, complain and protest about
everything he doesn't like. He can cri-
ticize the government and government
officials wherever whenever he feels
the urge, and as many times as he feels
the urge. He can give effect to his re-
monstrances by voting at the polls as
he wants to. Where is there another
government which gives its citizens
such leawav?
One could continue for hours to e.
numerate the advantages of u citi-
zens over the people in other countries.
Yet there are those in this country,
many of them, who have never stopp-
ed to count their blessings as Americ-
an citizens. These things are taken
for granted. Never is a thought given
as to how it happened that they are
enjoying these blessings, and worst of
all, many give no thought to the pres
~ervation of these blessings. Let us
place our faith in this. Each succeed
ing generation has carried on, has been
true to the trust imposed upon it, and
through fidelity to the ideals of our
fathers this republic has survived.
Down through the years of this codn-
try's existence the offspring of the
founding fathers, in wal and in peace,
have been true to the principles, ideals
and traditions of our government, and
have steadfastly followed the trails
blazed for them. And just so long as
this succession continues, the safety
and preservation of our beloved coirn-
try is assured, but if the day ever COM
es that a generation is unwilling to de-
fend and preserve with all of its en-
ergy and to its last breath, this country
and heritage of ours, that day our fore
fathers will have toiled, suffered and
died in vain.

casions the study of Americanism. We
must realize hat the teachers of our
schools today make up the front line
of our nations peace time defense;
that our schools must go forward; that
u youth must be given an oppor-
tunity of educating themselves, and
that the keynote of that education
must be Americanism.
Let us just briefly review and con-
trast what each of the two general OPP
posing forms of government have to
offer their citizens. Under our system
there can be no law restricting the es-
tablishment of any particular religion
or prohibiting the free exercise there
of. There can be no abridgment of free
dom of speech, of the press, or of the
right Of assemblage. In all of the tota-
litarian states, however freedom of
speech, freedom of the press, and the
press and the right of assembly have
been suspended. In n of these coun-
tries the government controls the
church, dictates its policy and doc
trines, and harasss and p%ersecutes
those who worship God according TO
some other creed which their con-
science dictates; and at least n other
of these countries aims at the destruc-~
ton of all forms of religion, is intol-
Grant of the worship of the Supreme
Being in any form; in fact actually
teaches hatred of God. In our country
the right of the people to be secure in
their persons, papers and effects a.
gainst searches and seizures is con-
stitutionally guaranteed. In the tota-
litarian states organizations of secret
police can make arrests, raid private
homes, or seize private property, with
out warrants or other legal documents.
In American no persons can be held
to answer for capital OF other infam-
Gus crime except on a presentment or
Indictment of a grand jury. And in all
criminal prosecutions the accused en-
joys the right to a speedy and public
trial by an impartial jury, and no per-
son be twice put in jeopardy of life
and limb for the same offense. We
provide that excessive bail shall not
be required, nor excessive fines be i'm
posed, nor cruel nor unusual punish
ments inflicted. In dictator countries
the secret police can hold persons with
out trial or public hearings as long as
they please. Trial by jury is not guar
anteed. Many trials r held secretly
and the judge does not consider the
rights of the individual, but the will
of the doctor. Ruthlessness is consid-
cred a powerful weapon in the hands
of government agencies and is approx
ed under the totalitarian form of gov
eminent. With us, the right of citizens
to vote may not be denied OF abridged
by the United States or by any state
on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude. Everyone is
equal before the law. In some countries
ruled by ~dictators, persons of certain
classes, races or creeds do not enjoy
the same rights as others. (If actually
it can be said there are really any
rights for anyone.) Elections in those
countries are mere formalities. Every
one votes as directed. It is dangerous
to life and property to dissent.
Let us just briefly carry on this
contrast from an economic standpoint.

FLAG DAY REMARKS
Address by Atty. Robert J. Webb
Past Commander of Omaha Post
No. | American Legion. Given
OF, June IL, 1889 at Hanscom
PARK on EIks Flag Day Services.
We are assembled today to show
orr respect and reverence for our be-
loved stars and stripes, the flag OF our
country. OF course it is not the
texture of the material contained III
our flag or the novelty or artistry OF
its design that brings us together IN
this observance of Flag Day, but the
principles. ideals and traditions OF
which our flag is symbolic. The flag,
sometimes affectionately referred to
as "Old Glory" ~symbolizes our ma
tional constitution, the law and order
which our constitution guarantees,
and Justice and individual rights.
Truly the flag represents all that good
citizenship means. To me it is a priv
lege to be a participant in this program
and | am sure each and everyone OF
this audience likewise consider 1t a
privilege as an American citizen to SO
participate.
It is altogether fitting and appro-
pirate that this program should be I'M
der the sponsorship of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks. The
Elks is a thorough American organic
alton. 1t was founded in the United
States. 1t is definitely a patriotic order
and it's fundamental teachings are
equality of mankind, tolerance, charity
and love of ones fellowmen. In fact its
principles closely parallel those of u
country, and its membership is a true
cross section of the citizenry of this
country. Wherever the stars and
stripes fly you will find organized
Elkdom, and no where else.
If there was ever a time when we
as citizens of this country should give
serious thought to the principles of
A~mericanism that time is right now.
No words of mine are required to ac-
quaint you with the present situation.
Screaming headlines in the daily pa
pers and the voice of the radio are con-
stantly bringing to your attention
events and conditions which we cannot
afford to ignore. Well do w know that
the continents of Europe and Asia and
practically all of the world except u
Western Hemisphere, is a seething
caldron of hate and intolerance, and
only by a strict adherence to the prin-
ciples of Americanism and the preser-
walton of the heritage from u fore
fathers can We avoid being drawn into
a conflict which seems inevitable, or
sharing in the consequences of it. 1t
is exercises like these in which we are
taking part that can bring us to a true
realization of the value of our form of
government and its principles, ideals
and tradition.
The greatest danger, it seems to me
lies in the fact that We are prone to
take u priceless heritage, and the
rights and privileges which we enjoy,
too lightly and too much for granted.
The world for some time has been ra-
pidly dividing into two schools of

ANIMAL OF HOLSTEIN-FRTESIAN
DAIRY HERD AT MILES CITY
IN EXHIBIT HERD

A HoIstein- Friesian dairy COW
from Miles City is one of the herd
of 20 from the United States be-
ing shown at the New York
of Tomorrow" which opened April
Worlds fair in "The Dairy Show
30 and continues through October,
according to an announcement by
]. H. Hofstetter, manager of the
Hofstetter Dairy at Miles City.
The COW is Hofstetter De KoI Segis
Beets. She was selected by Glen Hous-
holder, inspector, who flew to Miles
City in February to see the COW.
An account of the selection of this
COW is told by Householder in an article
in the Holstein- Friesian World, pub
lished at Tacoma, N. Y. Tt says in part:
From the rugged mountains of
Montana, Holfstetter's dairy of Miles
City offered the choice of their herd.
Mrs. j. H. Hofstetter never misses an
opportunity to promote the breed which
has brought prosperity to the Hof-
stetter ranch and the dairy which

milk business in Miles City"
Mrs. Hofstetter says, relative to the
selection Of the COW: "Hofstetter Del
Kol Segis Beets, who has been selected
to the worlds fair exhibit sponsored
by the Borden Milk Co., Is the great
granddaughter of Mutual Clothilde De
Kol III, bred and developed on the
Hofstetter ranch. She is eight years old

duction capacity which Is Is pounds Of
milk, approximately 10 gallons, daily"
Her great grandmother was the first
COW In Montana to produce over $4,000
pounds of milk in one year. Her record
was 30,119 pounds Of milk and 1924
pounds of butter.
At the fair the cows are MIXED
daily, 10 at a time on a miniature Of
the world famous Walker Gordon

Clerk Is Held 10 Jury
On Extortion Charqe
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 1.-Edward
Francis McGeady, chief clerk for
the American Oil Co.. pleaded guilty
today to two charges of attempting
to eXtort money from Jacob Blau-
stein. former president and now a
director of the oil company.
McGeady was held in $2,50O bail
for action of the Federal grand jury.
He was accused of sending Mr.. Blau-
stein a note on February IS, de-
manding $500, and another on
March q, asking $35. McGeady said
he needed the money for an opera
ton.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
officers declined to reveal the text
of the notes.
II was in straitened circum-
stances and needed money for az.
operation" McGeady said in answer
to questions at the hearing.
ALSO. for two years there had
been promised to me a good job
with the State, which I never got.
In expectation of this position I had
been living far beyond my means" !"
McGeady said he had been en-
ployed by the oil company 10 years.
He has been married 81 years, he
said.
Mr.. Blaustein lives in suburban
Pikesville.
Federal officers said they went to
an undisclosed spot designated in
the two notes as the place to which
Mr.. Blaustein was to send the
money. They found McGeady
there, they said, and arrested him.
