UNIVERSITY PAPER HITS
LEGION FOR ‘BRAWL,”
-x
College “drunks” are mere
children’s parties compared with
some of the sights witnessed in
Detroit, The Michigan Daily,
University of Michigan student
newspaper, declared in a bitter
editorial on the American Le
gion convention held recently.
The editorial declared The
Daily’s support of The Harvard
Crimson, which was severely cri
ticised for its remark on the
Boston convention.
“Why a city should ever con
sider inviting such a convention
is beyond our understanding,”
the editorial said. “Respectable
citizens were afraid’ to venture
into the heart of the city while
loyal defenders of the country
were engaged in their annual
“brawl.”
“Drunks in varied stages of
intoxication littered the streets
of Detroit during the conven
tion,” the paper charged.
We Wonder—
If the Michigan Daily gave
any thought to the accomplish
ments of the Legion convention;
if it looked into the various de
grees of intoxicated and found
the source of inebriation;
if only Legionaires paraded
the streets making it unsafe for
“respectable citizens” to ven
ture into the heart of the city;
f the inebriation of a few hood
lums overbalanced the efforts of
light-thinking, clear-mind, up
standing patriots. We are will
ing to condemn those Legion
aires or any other group of ci
tizens who make a scrap of pa
per of the Constitution of the
United States, but as Legionaires
we also insist that the good that
IS accomplished—the care and
education of war orphans, finan
cial assistance to those made
helpless by war and forgotten
by the $1 a year patriots and
others, the rehabilitation work
among these ruins of the war
md the furnishing of employ
ment whereby they might oon
i tinue to have at least a sem
| hlance of self-respect be recog
1 nized.
i
We attended a national con •
‘•ention of a fraternal organiza

tenness exposed were so intoler

i
lice could hardly stomach a big.
icrtion of the convention, butj
'■>ary a word of condemnation, j
A duplication of the old Barbary |
toast, San Francisco, was made'

umbinger. Did you ever hcar|
about it?
EXPECT NTHING
By Hill Billy, in The Seattle Star,
-x- «
“Blessed be he who expects
nothing; he will never be disap
pointed.”
I ii/ is a line tiling tu strive;
|that’s evolution; any organism
| that quits is on the road to elim
ination. It is all right to shoot
at a star, not good hunting, and
nobody ever got fed on the game
brought to earth, but it is a
noble pastime.
BUT the notion that, because
you shot at a star and missed,
therefore you should be unhap
py, that’s plain dumb.
The fellow who gets sour be
cause he is disappointed in his
friends, his boss, his health, or
his god is a fool with an inferi
ority complex.
Do the best that is in you for
the joy of doing it; if you achieve
pork chops, fine; if you do not
achieve pork chops, that’s also
dandy For the hour you sat on
a high hill and grinned at the
; serfs, that’s something, too.
I “I gave my all and in my old
\ age I’m turned out like a sick
■ horse to pasture on the bare hills
! of life.” If you gave your all,
> usually you are not turned out
> to browse on the pavement; and
even if you did, yau had a kick
out of doing things that no man
can rob you of, and a thrill that
few men can achieve.
Personally, I always expect the
worst. I have never seen the
worst happen, but if it had I
5 would have been rather proud of
9
my gift of prophecy, and taken
a martyr delight in patting my
self on the back in my adversity.
And, gross materialist that I
am, the sad eventuality would
have found me prepared with a
few resources that would have
enabled me to live through the
winter of adversity. That’s
where the pessimist has it on
the optimist; the pessimist al
ways has a few acorns hid in a
hollow tree.
Expect the worst as a matter
of routine; carry the thought
that it probably is going to be
tuffer rather than better. That
way you will never desire to curse:
God and die, and you will get
a wonderful thrill out of gcod
fortune.
“Every day in every way I am
getting worser and worsei”; a
wonderful motto.

HOW THEY VOTE
-x
The national prohibition ques
tion, next to eating, is the most
vexatious problem confronting
the Americain politicians.
Not long since, the American
Legion in convention in Detroit
i straddled the fence and urged,
not positively for or against the,
Volstead law; but they urged the
question be placed before the
people for their action; the A
merican Federation of Labor has
been asking for a modification of
the existing law; at Long
Branch, Calif., American war
mothers closed their sixth bien
nial national convention by the
adoption cf resolutions against
light wines and beer by promis
ing to “uphold every law writ-|
ten into the Constitution of the
United States.”
Another gathering of war
mothers, not affiliated with the
above group, went on record de -
manding another crack by ballot
at the Volstead law. The recent ;
convention of bishops of the |
Episcopal church favored modi
fication.

ORPHANS’ WELFARE GREATER
than POLITICS
-x
United States Senator James
J. Davis national head of the
Loyal Order of Moose has for
years worked to better condi-j
tions of orphan children. Moose-i
heart is a monument to his ef
forts.
In Alaska the only agency to
which half the citizen popula-j
tion may appeal to for aid, asj
destitutes or orphans, is the U.,
S. Indian Bureau and it limits its
aid to $10 per month.
Orphan children of any other
citizens are abundantly provid
ed for. The discrmination is due;
sd for. The discrimination is due
of so-called Americans to the
territorial demagogues.
Several years ago the Territor
4152**^
ial Legislature passed a law giv-! |
ing, so-called equal benefit to all!
citizens. At least the law did |
not discriminate against these:
people. But the last Legislature!
enacted another law repealing!
that former legislation. j
Here and there in Alaska are
children who are in absolute
need of the ordinary necessities
which go to give comfort, health
and strength. All of which they
must get out of a total of ten
dollars a month from the Indian
Bureau. And those same politi-i
cians who kick the folk of these
orphans down, shamelessly con
tinue to ask political support
from the people they hurt. i
Such legislation is nothing to
be proud of.
GATHERING THE SINEWS OF
WAR
<
The present economic depres-' ,
sion is not making the task of; 5
soliciting and gathering cam-! ,
paign funds an easy task. The ,
erstwhile generous partizans are! *
said to be extremely tight—in a: ,
financial sense, due to the eco- ,
nomic depression. State and na- i
tional collectors complain that :
they are being turned away with -
“chicken feed” or with nothin'
at all.
Ail of which portends slim pic; :
ings in the presidential cam- ;
paign next year. j
In Wall Street where picking -j
are usually most generous, ttu j
donors nave aeciareu a mwuui
ium of as much as 75 per cent ir
their “gifts.”
The Harding campaign cos1,
in excess of $6,000,000; James M
Cox, Democratic candidate made
the charge that corporations har
contributed $10,000,000 to elect
Harding. The estimate was sain
to have been extravagant an J
that Harding did not need that
much to be elected.
The reported contribution of
both parties in the Hoover
Smith election was $4,100,000
each. It is not believed,-at this
time that either party will be
able to finance such large dona
tions.
