Many Attend Legion Dance.
Over 200 couples danced at the le
gion hall on Monday night and en
joyment reigned supreme. The boys
cleared about $125, and they need it.
A first-class luncheon was served by
the ladies of the legion auxiliary. Le
gion dances are at all times popular
events.
During the last year Uncle Sam has
courteously been loaning hundreds of
his rifles and equipment to Minnesota
legion posts for use on patriotic oc
casions. His only stipulation is that
each post, on January 1, answer roll
call for filling out and returning form
No. 110, sent each post direct from
7th corps headquarters, Fort Crook,
Neb. To show that they appreciate
Uncle Sam's courtesy, the Gopher boys
are mailing this form without delay.
On the mailing list of the Minne
sota legion news service is a bright
little publication which proves the
truth of the motto, "A man may be
down but he's never out." It is the
"Aberdeen Bugle," published weekly
by disabled service men receiving
treatment in the Aberdeen hospital,
St. Paul. And it's not a bit down
hearted either.
Still another Minnesota legion post
was added to the Gopher roll call last
week. Post No. 489 of Underwood is
the newcomer. In addition, former
service men of Cushing, Plato and
Jenkins, in Morrison, McLcod and
Crow Wing counties, have asked for
charter application blanks with which
to organize. That will make 492 Min
nesota legion posts. "Over the top
for 500" says State Commander Van
Dyke.
Minnesota's first American legion
post, Theodore Peters post No. 1 of
Minneapolis, is first also in many le
gion endeavors. A half-page picture
in the American Legion Weekly shows
a billboard advertisement used by
Peterson post in announcing its
dances and vaudeville shows at Ken
wood armory, and the Legion Weekly
editor says: "Try this on your bill
boards." Again, on New Year's eve,
the largest gathering in Minneapolis
was under auspices of Peterson post.
A spotlight thrown on Father Time at
the stroke of midnight was the signal
for the legion jubilee to let loose its
big demonstration.
Endless were the efforts and count
less the deeds of members of the
American legion and its auxiliary to
bring Christmas cheer to their sick
and unemployed comrades. To tell the
whole story would be impossible. The
Bearcat post of Minneapolis bought
and distributed 165 bushel baskets of
food for the poor and needy. East St.
Paul legion post and its auxiliary
feasted and entertained 585 needy
school children of the community, and
Legionaire Chick Olson, impersonat
ing Santa Clause, came down a real
chimney and loaded the little tots'
arms with gifts, while their eyes al
most popped out of their heads with
~x wonder and delight. Ramsey county
legionaires fed and entertained more
than 500 hungry and unemployed bud
dies, and with the legion auxiliary,
visited disabled comrades in hospital
and distributed hundreds of presents
from the legion auxiliary units of the
state, in addition to supplying Christ
mas baskets of good things to 360
needy families. Disabled veterans in
Minneapolis hospitals were remem
bered by Hennepin county legionaires
1
Princeton,
and auxiliary members. If in all Min
nesota there was one lonely or hungry
buddy on Christmas day, 1921, it was
only because his legion comrades were
without knowledge of his plight. They
were eager and anxious to help.
Legionaires of Minnesota's first dis
trict met at Rochester January 3 to
honor National Commander Hanford
MacNider of Mason City, la., the prin
cipal speaker, who said in part: "The
strength of the legion is in your posts
and the strength of your posts is in
your members. Your national officers
are but your employesyour servants.
Send us your bricks or your bouquets,
but, most of all, your suggestions for
real constructive progress. Pay your
New Year dues right now and get that
other lad into the legion. The inspira
tion of having you behind us will help
your national officers to deliver the
goods. May the New Year hold much
happiness for all of us and for our
country."
"Get out the Gopher gang! Over
the top for 1922! Let's go!" That's
the slogan of 35,000 Minnesota legion
aires who not only believe in the
American legion and its ideals, but are
ready to tell the world that there's
no state like Minnesota, either in a
business or patriotic sense. To say
that Gopher legionaires are proud of
the Gopher state is putting it mildly
and they're out to prove that in
legion membership.
"Do you know that in 1921 the
American legion of Minnesota fed
5,800 former service men, lodged over
1,200, cared for over 590 families, and
gave employment to more than 1,400.
On January 1, 1922, there are over 3,-
500 former service men out of work in
the Gopher state, many of them hun
gry, many families in need of help and
assistance. Who will 'do the Work in
1922? The American legion's creed
is: 'Be thy brother's keeper.' Join
the American legion, pay your dues
for 1922 now, help your buddies."

A War for Women to Make.
The women of New York have it in
their power to break the profiteering
that has followed the strike of the
meat packing employes. They have
only to put their households on a war
basis again.
During the war the women, patri
otically anxious to make sure of a
full supply of food for the soldiers,
cut down their purchases of meat as
well as of white flour and butter. Now
we have another, an economic war.
The meat is not needed abroad. If
the householders do not buy it, if the
restaurant patrons will not order it,
then the meat will pile up in the pack
ing houses. Very quickly the law of
supply and demand will adjust the

Vanishing Languages.
Nowhere in America has there been
such a diversity of Indian languages
as in California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Several
of them are known only by five or
six, and others only by twenty or
thirty living persons, and hardly a
year passes without some dialect, or

Behind a Prisoner's Amnesty.
Since the release of Debs close
friends of the socialist leader have in
timated to the press that he will head
a campaign for "general amnesty for
all political prisoners." There is about
as much sense to such a campaign as
there would be to a petition for abol
ishment of a green moon in the uni
verse. In the first place, there being
no such thing in the United States as
"political prisoners," the campaign
managers can start to work on their
project with assurances now that
when the campaign is ended they will
find that there are no political prison
ers in thef United States. If Debs'
friends speak the truth they can com
pliment themselves on originating a
senseless but, nevertheless, a new
manner of conducting a successful
campaign.
As a matter of fact all the loose
talk about political prisoners is noth
ing more or less than tommyrot propa
ganda to make heroes and martyrs out
of criminals. By hiding the facts that
certain individuals have committed
treason to the United States and vio
lated other laws, followers of these
men seek to "bore within" the sympa
thies of public opinion by making it
appear that these men were jailed
because of their political theories. For
instance, a certain element in the coun
try would have it appear that the
two Italians, Sacco and Vancetti, are
locked up in a Massachusetts jail be
cause they are of the I. W. W. faith.
The facts of the case are they are con
victed murderers. A. C. Townley is in
a Minnesota jail not because of his
political beliefs, but because he violat
ed the established laws of the United
States. It was the same with Debs.
The United States' imprisons no
man because of his political opinions.
But whenever any man allows his
passions to lead him into a positive
violation of our laws he can expect
that the machinery of the law will be
put in motion against him. The idea
that seems to prevail among the
theorists that an actual crime against
law is any less a crime because of the
peculiar opinions of the man who
commits it is a childish excuse that
sounds very much as if their con
science accused them of that guilt,
but pleaded for clemency on the
ground that they are not mentally or
