LEGION WARNS PUBLIC
AGAINST FALSE SECURITY
That the Americanism department
of the American Legion, and the
11,000 posts of the Legion have their
work cut out for them in an announc
ed program of opposition to radical
ism, and the Americanization of for
elgn bom in the country, is indicated
by surveys made in various states by
officials of the organization. Some
what typical of reports received at
national headquarters" is the declara
tion of W.illiam R. McCauley, com
mander of the Illinois department.
"Our American people feel entirely
safe and secure too much so for
their own good," Commander McCau
ley said. "Some cold facts, bluntly
administered, might wake them up to
the conditions all about them. It is
not generally realized that in Illinois
there are more than 175,000 persons
above the age of 10 years who cannot
read or write the English language.
Those who cannot understand our
tongue number thousands.
"Is it realized that bolshevik liter
ature, supplied through generous
funds from the Russian government,
is being circulated among those who
are ignorant of our own printed lang
uage or institutions?"
Activities of radicals in many of
the states is reported, and in most
cases they are said to be of bolder
nature than at any time since the close
of the World War. In South Dakota,
Kansas and other wheat sections the
American Legion during the wheat
harvest has engaged itself in fighting
TYPEWRITING
Is now one of the most practical
studies taught in a Business College.
Typewriters are so cheap that even
a very poor person can buy one as
very good machines may be bought
for $10 and even less. So popular is
typewriting that nearly all the stu
dents who enroll at the Lamson Bus
iness College, Phoenix, Arizona, take
a course in Typewriting. At the end
of a month the students have learned
how to write and how to use a ma
chine for different purposes and are
ready to begin practicing for speed.
Right here is where the Lamson Bus
iness College differs from most
schools as it insists on accuracy as
well as speed. The result is that the
business men of Arizona prefer stu
dents who have taken a typewriting
course at the Lamson Business Col
lege. The fall term of the 34th year
opened Monday, September 11. For

AUTO OWNERS ATTENTION
Wm. Beeson, our County Assessor, has
1922 automobile licenses for sale. I urge
you to buy yours now. They are a handy
thing to have indispensible, in fact
WM. A. CAMPBELL, Sheriff
the I. W. W and its work of sabot
age and intimidation. In Kansas,
Phil Zimmerman, noted nemesis of
the Wobblies, organized Legionnaires
in combat throughout the wheat belt
and succeeded in frustrating the I.
W. W. in a campaign designed to in
crease membership and coerce the
farmers, aided with "cow itch," fire
creating chemicals and other of their
"terrorism" weapons.
In Illinois Commander McCauley
cited American Legion efforts in Chi
cago and in Ccntralia as ilustrative of
Americanism methods being employed
by the Legion. In Chicago the rad
icals have invaded the fashionable
residential or "white collar" districts,
and from soap boxes harangue the
crowds with their un-American pleas
and disloyal utterances.
Instead of calling upon the police
to quell the exhorters, furnishing
them with a "persecution" appeal for
sympathy, the North Shore Post of
the American Legion, headed by Ferre
Watkins, commander, organized a
flying detachment of orators. Wher
ever a radical soap box rostrum is set
down, an American Legion soap box
is placed near by. And sometimes it
comes down to a question of who can
talk the loudest, sometimes it is a
matter of eloquence, sometimes it is
logic but the "longhairs" are getting
the worst of it on every occasion.
In Centralia, 111., nearly all the
members of Centralia Post are union
coal miners, and the post command
er, Paul M. Kramer, is one of the
strikers. The post is conducting an
aggressive, extensive campaign of
Americanism, of patriotism, among
the foreign-born elements in the com
munity. Under the auspices of the
post, and the Rotary club, a Boy Scout
camp is conducted in a park near Cen
tralia, and boys of all classes, bank
ers' sons, miners' sons, sons of men
of wealth and men in humble station,
attend.
In Oregon the immigration question
has been occupying the Legion, and
at its recent state convention the alien
question was one of the most impor
tant questions considered. The con
vention adopted resolutions for the
deportation of all aliens who have
been in this country six years with
out becoming citizens; the examina
tion of immigrants for entry into the
country placed in the hands of a bu
reau witn the power to regulate the
number; that steps be taken to edu
cate the immigrants in the duties of
citizenship, and to prevent congrega
tion of aliens in colonies In the large
cities and for the filing by Oregon
employers of a semi-annual report of
more than five alien employes, seg
regating the aliens from citizens.

WHO GOT THE MONEY..
ASKS LEGION MAGAZINE
Under the caption of "Who got the
money," the American Legion maga
zine has begun publication of a ser
ies of articles based on allegations of
war profiteering, beginning Saturday.
Exclusive of loans to the allies, the
war cost the United States govern
ment something like $19,000,000,000,
of which about $15,000,000,000 was
expended in purchases of materials,
the first article asserts.
Life and property, men and muni
tions won the war, the article says.
It then tells of a lieutenant, worn out
with fighting, who during his rest
period back of the lines continued to
make out reports, one of which failed
to report loss of two rifles. The price
of these rifles was deducted from his
pay. The article declares that offic
ers at the front sometimes were
tempted to believe that the govern
ment regarded property as more val
uable than lives.
Treatment accorded fighting men
is compared with that civen to rich
and powerful companies at home,
which furnished lood. An instance is
cited in which it is charged that sev
eral million cans of rotten food were
sold to the government for $8,600,-
000. The charges say further that
this food was packed knowingly for
sale to the army. The courts have
thus far been denied the opportunity
of deciding the case.
The article asks whether equal jus
tice was meted out to the soldiers and
to the food sellers.
Remember when "I pronounce you
man and wife" was a life sentence?
ORDERS IS ORDERS
General Pershing tells the story of
a volunteer batallion of backwoods
men that once joined General Grant.
The latter admired their physique, but
oistrusted the capacity or tneir un
couth commander to handle troops
promptly and efficiently in the field,
bo he said:
"Colonel, I want to see your men at
work; call them to attention and or
der them to march shouldered arms in
close column to left flank."
Without a moment's hesitation, the
colonel yelled at his command: "Boys
look wild, tharl Make ready to thick
en and fo' left ends-ays 1 Tote your
guns, git!"
The maneuver proved a brilliant
success and the self-elected colonel
was forthwith commissioned.
Another real incident during the
Civil war is told bv a Yank out
scouting in the early morn, who dis
covered a bunch of Morgan's troop
ers. The officer in command started
away like this: "Prepare to mount
yore critters: mount: right smart;
git!"

PEOPLE TO VOTE ON THE
DISPOSAL OF STATE FUNDS
According to a report received by
the New Jersey American Legion,
State Senator Joseph F. Wallworth of
Camden, will introduce a bill in the
legislature of New Jersey to have the
people vote on what shall be done
with the unexpended balance of $800,
000 left after paying the state bonus.
The introduction of the bill is contin
gent on Governor Edward I. Edwards
calling a special session of the legisla
ture. The Legion seeks the special
assembly in order that the fund may
be used to build one or more hospi
tals for the care of sick and disabled
world war veterans.
FORMER FLAGSTAFF LADY
TOURS IN ALASKA
Mrs. Leslie Eddy, member of the
teaching tsaff of the Anchorage pub
lie school, is spending her vacation
"seeing Alaska." After the close of
school in the spring she made a trip
down the coast as far as Juneau and
then back to Skagway, over the White
Pass railroad to Whitehorse, with a
side trip to Atlin, and down the Yur
kon river to Dawson on one of the
White Pass steamers.
At Dawson efforts were made by
officials of the Canadian transporta
tion company to discourage Mrs. Ed
dy and other travelers from making
the river voyage to Nenana, but to
no avail. So they boarded the steam
er Alaska for Tanana and completed
the voyage to Nenana aboard a mail
launch with a scow in tow, arriving
here early last Friday morning.
There were about forty in the party
from Tanana, with no privacy for
sleeping and no one to do the cooking
for them.
During her stay in Nenana, Mrs.
Eddy was the guest of Mrs. W. C.
Steinmetz.' She went to Fairbanks
today and will spend several days at
Chatanika visiting with Mrs. Frank
Monkman before returning to her
home on the coast. Nenana News,
Alaska.
Flagstaff friends will remember her
best as Leslie Mayflower Eddy, who
was a native of Flagstaff -and whose
mother and brother still live here.

Country Doings
(Too Lake for Last Week.)
There never was such a crowd at a
country dance before as at the barn
dance i at the W. E. Morgan ranch in
Garland Prairie, last Saturday night.
They were there from Ashfork, Flag
staff and Williams, and all over the
country. It is estimated that four
hundred people attended the dance.
Eighty cars were counted. Our worthy
judge of the superior court, district
attorney, sheriff, county superinten
dent of schools, and, in fact, all of
the candidates for office, with two or
three exceptions, were there, and took
part in the festivities. Sheriff Bill
Campbell, Hugh Campbell and others
passed around candy and cigars to
the crowd.
There was a prize waltz, in which
W. E. Morgan and his niece, Miss
Francis Coleman, tied with Mr. and
Mrs. George Johnson. The big barn
was crowded, but there was some
thing doing every minute, and every
one enjoyed a good big time. An ex
cellent lunch was served in cafeteria
style at midnight, consisting of meat
sandwiches, heaps of roasting ears,
cake, coffee, pickles, etc. Over six
dozen loaves of bread were made in
to sandwiches to satisfy the hungry
crowd. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan are to
be congratulated on the excellent nml
efficient manner in which the big
dance was handled. This may be the
last big dance of the season. In fact,
there will probably not be another
like it until the next political cam
paipn when it is hoped that Bill will
do it all over again.
Charlie Burton will start dipping
his sheep in a day or two at his dip
