their lives on the fields of France anJ in this country. "Amongst the organizations which have undertaken the task of teaching an intelligent perception of our national constitutions and institutions, none Is playing a more important part than the American LeRion. This society Is composed of men and women who served in the United States forces during the recent world war. Membership In the legion is an indisputable proof of one's patriotic devotion to country, since it is a sign and seal of personal service during America's crisis. Every plank in the L'gion's platform, every clause in its constitution make for betterment in our nation and her citizens. Discontent is Destructive. "The early realizations of those who formed and framed the great policies of the legion were that discontent is rightly considered one of

the most destructive 'factors in our national life and to make h devoted people, we must have a contented peoplo. With this point in mini they turned to find Rome amonpst their number who had the greatest reason for belnR discontented. Their attention was 'first attracted to the disabled world war veteran. Returning from the other side, a hysterically grateful, if not a novelty loving people, greeted theso heroic lads and lavished upon them every care and attention. All went vell for a while, but poon people besan to tire of providing amusements and recreation, and the disabled men were left to conclude that those for whom they fought soon forgot. It is right here where the American Legion stepped in and took up the fight for their less fortunate comrades and realized fully the task and the trust which devolved upon them. They launched out to mako the path of the disabled man a Fmoother one, to render him an Independent rather than dependent and to turn him from a disheartened and disgruntled. Into a self-supporting, patriotic American citizen. The result has been beneficial legislation in favor of tbo wounded veterans. The legion has destroyed tho fertile fields of tho.-?e who would sow- 'icord among America's noble defenders, and has proved to flie ex-service man th.it America does not forget them, nor fhall America forget their great work. "If the legion accomplishes nothingmore, it has justified its existence. Not only has this organization stood by tho ex-soldiers, but it has enacted other princ .)les' high and mighty as factors In our national life. It has called attention to theso unholy, un-American individuals, who during America's crisis, sought protection behind the skirts of a religion into whose teachings they had never delved until our country was threatened by enemies. Tho American Legion has demanded, though without avail, that these' persons be denied the honorable discharges from our army and tbat they be not allowed back pay and allowances for the days and months they in lu'ged themselves in a refined slacker's policy. "The American L.eglon has stood, stands for and always will stand for an all-American policy, America for Americans, and every American for America. "Without political bias, It can be said that this society is striving to carry forth liberty's great torch thrown to its members from the hands of those whom they left on foreign soil. "Such is tho work of the legion, which is putting forth every effort to promote the true American spirit. In its ranks, no such individual is known as the peace timo slacker he who feels that with tho successful prosecution of the war his duty to his country is ended. It la banishing discontent in tho present generation and is endeavoring to rear up the future Americans by endorsing the work of tho Hoy Scouts, making the future generation strong, healthy men. real and local American citizens of them, and, as well, those whom we have welcomed from foreign soil."
