AAA AA AAA DPD OPP PPP The American Legion and the New York Socialists N° clearer statement of the socialists’ case in the ** New York legislature has appeared than that of } the national Americanism commission of the Ameri- ' ean Legion. The resolution passed by this commission ‘declares: ( “Since the American Legion stands for the main- tenance of American institutions of government, we look with disfavor on every effort to overthrow the right of representation or deny to the properly elected ‘representatives of the people the right to sit in the bodies to which they have been elected, except when they have been shown legally disqualified.” ‘ - The American Legion is to be congratulated for this ' splendid, clear-cut expression. It is American to the core. : “The right of representation!” _ Never must that be trampled upon if we are to re- “main true to fundamental Americanism. Without that ; t we are lost. ste If New York constituencies want to elect socialists, theosophists, militarists, or pacifists, that is their right. If the voters of this city should give a larger amber of votes to James A. Duncan, the Tripple Al- nee candidate and flaming radical leader, that is The Star is opposed to Duncan because it does not agree with his avowed views and methods. But if the voters—or a majority of them—DO elect him, he would be entitled to the mayoralty, for it’s the ballot that rules in the United States. The ballot—not direct action, not force or violence —is the American weapon. And the American Legion is too American to be so swept away by passion or prejudice as to ignore this. The New York legislature has ignored it—and, if it is to be counted American, it must rectify itself. Other- wise it stamps itself on the same plane exactly as the Bolsheviki who ignore the ballot, refuse to recognize the constituent assembly, and rule by sheer force. « If the ballot will not rule this nation—what is there in store, then, except revolution? And the New York legislator who tramnles upon the ballot is as truly a “red” revolutionist as the most flannel-mouthed soap-box orator. The man who preaches lynchings and destruction of property, whether he wears silk hat and Prince Albert, or wears a red tie and black shirt, is un-American and undesirable. Real Americanism respects the ballot and abides by ~““~|EVERETT TRUE AR, TRUG, TOU RE NOT COOKING Very wei. | the law.

ELIZABETH NICKERSON, 726 No h GENUINE ASPIRIN Take tablets only as told is well received it will doubtless attract genius of the highest order, and if the chief motive force of the race is to be pre- sented at all upon the stage it ought to be handled in the very best way. As a religious appeal, however, I confess it has not the power that a simpler, a more modern and a more eps dramatic pro- duction has. As propaganda for the cause of Jesus Christ it is far surpassed, in my judgment, by that most impressive, fasci- nating, and convincing of plays, “The Pass- ing of the Third Floor Back.” There is just one reason why plays with the religious motif do not succeed upon the secular stage: they are not well enough done, | in each ‘‘Bayer’’ package The “Bayer Cross” is the signature of the true “Bayer Tablets of As- pirin.” The name “Bayer” is only on genuine Aspirin prescribed by phy- siclans for over eighteen years.
