Americanism of the Legion
The f rmition of the American Le
gion post at Kennecott last Tuesday
is the first step toward 100 per cent A
mericanism in this section. E.ver since
its inception, shortly after the war thi
patriotic organization has advocated a
mere restricted immigration schcxh ’
as the only means of absorbing iii.
present number of foreigners in this
country. Immigrants, pouring into
the country have all but saturated it
with any creed but Americanism.
The imm gra:ion bill now in Con
gress would cut down the influx of Be
unieiini ; Alpines an! inererie the
number of assimiable Noidhs. that is’
tiie Scotch . rish, Eiiji >ii end if can
c’inavian neopies. It is largely through
B e :Toi ts of the Leg on that the p res
entation oi this bill has been made
passible. ' ig Business w ms cheap
abor and cneap labo; i jes n con.e
from the above mentioned countries,
i he Legion went on the mat w.ih Big
Business and attempted to snow io ,he
s tort sighted policy it was following.
Whether or not the skirmish was a
success will be shown by Congress’ dis
disposition of the bill.
\\ here ever a Legion post is formed
the light lor Americanism is on, and
as a rule the posts fight as hard as the
soldiers during the war. Its aim is to
m'ike better citizens in the community
and some vvay 01 canoilitr n ^cncrsily

better position to determine the
need o milling' facilities on the

The ore,and such addiion stuff
as may be delivered ?.t the land

ne/y from the Olympic Fishei

a scow, but with a new coat of
paint and a little machinery the
humble craft assumed a nobler
tole. The new owner is a Peters
burg concern.
When you want scratch feed
for your chickens, send to Peters
burg. Paul Owens is opening a
manufacturing plant at Scow
Bay that will utilize shrimp shell
jn this manner.
The by-product plant will open
