'Colley s Corner* Thursday, November 8, 1923 “I how oot iht th trutb nay be, I toll it is 'lns told to me."-Editor ARMISTICE DAY Five years have, passed since that memorable day, November 11, 1918, brought an end to the greatest war in the world’s his* tory. by the signing of the armistice, and this day will be appropriately observed as a legal holiday in nearly every nation in the world, and particularly. by the American Legion of the United States. It is a day set aside to recall the flame of patriotism which swept over the whole land, consuming the dross of all past differences and fusing the entire people into one national unity; the Army and Navy, forever unmatched among men, born of this spirit, the money with which it filled the Treasury, the gigantic charities which it supported, the stupendous and unending flood of all kinds of supplies that it created, the victory that it made possible. All this gave a new meaning to the life of our country, a new meaning found its finest expression in a new nationalism, deeper and more fervid than ever before, summed up in one word. “American." Peace has brought with it many difficult problems that must be solved. These problems do not alone confront the people of this country, but they are world-wide. They, are national and international. The great cost of the war has brought bankruptcy to the nations of Europe, unrest and discontent to their people. It has produced the necessity for the reconstruction of national and international policies. Those that obtained before the war will not serve to meet the new situations and conditions produced by it. But no move worth while was ever made which was not to make homes and home life better and happier. No law worth its place on the statute books was ever enacted which did not mean protection and assistance to home life. Ho army ever fought for a just cause unless that army fought for the homes of its men If our homes are pure, our Nation is pure: if our homes fail and are without the power to raise great children to preserve our principles and institutions, then our Nation is rotten at the heart and can not endure. Is is not time we were getting closer together and down to business? Let us have domestic peace rather than strife: harmony rather than disharmony; concord rather • than discord. Should we not be more considerate of our neighbor? If we do not agree with him, at least we should respect his honest opinion, whether it concerns religion, business, or something else. In the words of Father Abraham, “let us ’highly resolve’ that the dead shall not have died in vain and put that resolution into practice with the result that we will be better neighbop, truer friends, more loyal citizens. and thereby add to the sum of human happiness here and everywhere.” It is because the American Legion stands in a position, by its «. broad and representive membership, by its common sacrifice, which no other organization can occupy, that it holds the greatest hope for the maintenance of a true national spirit. ■■■ oOs course your wife bakes the best pies.
