NEW PICTURE OF THE LEGION

night nearly two thou
sand years ago three wise men
cimo plodding from the East.
by a star to the manger
o; the Christ Child. They knew
that which they were seeking, but
they knew not how nor when it
h.auIJ ie shown to them. They
sought the spirit of service that
should mean to countless millions
following after, "Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men."
Associated together in the Am
erican eLgion for service to God
and Country, bound by ties of
sen ice together in dangerous
times, this day of days should
mean as much to us. We know
its message and our duty is clear
before us.
Thousands of our comrades lie
broken and sick for whom the
war can never end. Our first duty
is to them and our star the white
light of our conscience guides us
there, while we fight for then
proper recognition by a willing
but forgetful nation. Let us make
this Christmas r-- i starting
point in our personal service to
them.
Those of us who were fortunate
enough to come back untouched
can. if only by our presence be
side them and those they hold
dear, sometime on that day, give
them assurance that we have not
and shall not forget. It is no more than we would expect from them, were
our positions reversed. There may be things which can be done for them,
not in charity but as one buddy to another. If there are, let us do them.
And if during the holidays each one can find employment for even one of
the thousands of ex-service men who are tramping the streets of our cities
looking for work, no better Christmas present could come to them. It will
make Christmas Day mean more to us all, and may yours be a happy one.

A Page In History
Let us climb a tree and look down
at the world, figuratively speaking.
For thousands of years the human
race has been milling around divid
ing itself into groups as it chose or
as racial characteristics directed.
Geographical boundaries formed
themselves naturally as a result of
mountains, climatic conditions, seas,
deserts and other causes beyond the
control of man.
As a result a world map was final
ly evolved made up of many people
many countries, many laws and
many customs, with traditions or
causes back of each, which were en
tirely beyond the control of any man
or group of individuals.
The Treaty of Versailles was
formed by man to satisfy personal ot
national aims of individuals or coun
tries by dividing up the world's ar
rangement as seemed suitable to the
occasion, regardless of economic in
fluences which had been building up
thousands of years. The result has
been broken boundaries, broken na
tions, broken people and new gov
ernments without the stability that
comes with generations devoted to
the formative period.
Economic relations between na
tions and peoples are slowly drifting
back to the interrupted channels
which they followed previous to the
world war. Races cannot be mixed,
world harbors cannot be changed,
mountains cannot be moved and
trade routes take certain natural
courses just as water runs down hill.
Human beings may dam a stream for
the time being but if the water thus
impounded if not afforded an outlet
the ultimate pressure will either go
over the dam or wash it out entire
ly. So far as maa-made laws are good
they will gradually be absorbed in
the economic changes taking place
as the world sweeps on in its march
of progress. We have been mark
ing time since 1918 waiting for nat
ural laws of supply and demand and
normal production and competition
to take the place of artificial barriers
and restrictions by which various na
tions have attempted to lift them
selves by heir boot straps.
The conference on the limiting of
armament offers the greatest benefit
to mankind that has come out of the
Portland papers seem to be just
a little alarmed over the manifest
disposition of a great many of the
legislators at Salem to turn down the
presenting of the Portland fair bill
to the people. The up-state mem-;
bers are inclined to listen to the dic
tates of their consciences, and the
great, majority outside ,of . Portland
are opposed to additional tax bur-'
dens. However, the metropolis is
going to bring all possible pressure !
to bear to have the question submit-!
ted to the people, and they are fully1
organized to "put it over." j

A current yarn about a liquor-lov-1
ing Irishman has a smile in it. "Fa-;
ther," said he, on meeting the parish i
priest one day, "phwat is lumbago?"!
Seeing an opportunity for needed re-'
proof, the good father replied: "Tis
a terrible disease which comes from '
drinking up booze and chasing ar- j

in world governments.
Trade currents of sea and land are
setting in from the old quarters and
will be carried on with new vigor
under headway which has been
made toward riding the world of po
litical selfishness which has always
handicapped business and peoples.
Let us come down out of the tree
and get to work. If we help guide
the mind of man along lines of con
structive peaceful endeavor, we will
have helped make a step forward
in the march of civilization. The

Your Christmas may be a happy one and
the New Year prosperous for you.
