SHOW OF 1921
Enid, Oklahoma, September 29—
Hugh B. Davis, of Duncan, was
elected state commander .of the
American Legion by the convention
at 3:30 o’clock Tuesday. His op-
ponent, Dudley Monk, of Okmulgee,
withdrew from the race and Davis
was acclaimed to the position with
loud cheers and applause.
WHICH?
A summary of the proceedings of
the American Legion state conven-
tion held at Enid last week, has been
forwarded to all posts in the state
from state headquarters. The report
gives the text of all committee re-
ports accepted and resolutions adopt-
Oklahoma City.—Newspaper head-
lines a day or so ago contained a
statement from President Harding,
asking the “unemployed not to loot
the United States treasury. Of
course, it was understood that the
president meant for those who have
no employment not to ask the gov-
ernment for sustenance, but the
statement was rather remarkable, as
it brought to memory a statement
made last spring when the soldiers’
bonus measure was before the cong-
ress. At that time the president
stated that the $350,000,000 per an-
num would break down the govern-
ment, and asked for moderation in
demands on the federal treasury.
It will be recalled that when the
railway corporations asked for $650,-
000,-000.00 which Mr. McAdoo, the
only man who could have entered in-
to a legal contract with the railroads,
said was not owing to them, President
Harding stood behind the measure
and had it railroaded through cong-
ress.
No sensible person desires to hin-
der the president in the administra-
tion of government—certainly no pa-
triotic citizen will say or do anything
to prevent bringing about a better
condition of affairs than we now
have, but, for some reason, our pres-
ident seems to be extravagant when
the big interests are concerned and
a trifle economical when just the
common sort of people are largely
.concerned. It is very probably due
to training, for the president has been
training with the big business think-
ers of the senate so long it is prob-
able that he has forgotten about the
ills and needs of the masses.

adopted.
Declaring Oklahoma City to be the
most central and logical place for the
establishment of the proposed sol-
diers’ memorial hospital, the conven-
tion adopted resolutions asking the
soldiers’ relief commission to locate
the institution there.
President Harding was commended
for calling the international confer-
ence on disarmaments and the Amer-
ican delegates to the conference were
urged to use every effort to make
disarmament a fact in resolutions
adopted by the meeting.
The action of Thomas W. Miller,
alien property custodian, in seizing
the estate of Grover C. Bergdoll,
slacker, was approved by the conven-
tion and resolutions on the matter
urged that the property be conAs-
cated and disposed of under the trad-
ing with the enemy act.
Early work on public improve-
ments as a means of giving work to
the thousands of ex-service men in
the nation who are unemployed was
urged by the convention. All other
things being equal an honorable dis-
charge should be given Arst consider-
ation by an employer in Ailing posi-
tions according to the belief of the
Legion as expressed in resolutions at
the convention.
Three laws will be proposed to the
next state legislature by the Legion
as a result of the convention. One
asked would make it unlawful to bury
any veteran of the late war in a
pauper’s grave. Another would pro-
tect the Legion emblem and the third
would make November 11a legal hol-
iday.
The convention adopted resolutions
requesting congress to reconsider and
pass the adjusted compensation bill
to aid veterans of the war and help
solve the unemployment problem and
relieve suffering among ex-service
men.
A committee on disabled soldiers
reported that the work of the clean-
up squad in the state showed that
there are thousands of men in need
of hospital treatment and compensa-
tion. The committee urged that the
clean-up campiagn be not repeated
by work of a squad but that a sub-
ofAce of the U. S. Veterans’ bureau
be opened in the state to care for the
cases. The committee reported that
the squad was handicapped in its
work by lack of time, erroneous ideas
of the functions of the squad and the
fact that the squad had no advance
information regarding the number of
men it would meet at any given point.
The permanent ofAce was recom-
mended as a means of clearing up the
many cases now open.
As a late fall attraction, we sug-
gest that President Harding be invit-
ed to speak at Tulsa, using for his
subject, “The Oil Business.” The
president has elucidated on this topic
before, but Tulsa is the oil capital of
the world and the people there would
give him a tremendous ovation—of
some kind.

BLACKWELL LOSES POPULAR
FIRM AND GOOD FAMILY
This is said to be a world of change j
and as Blackwell is quite an impor-
tant item in the world, it too, must
take its share of change. The one
we have to mention however, is one
that we regret to record.
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Garrison have
returned from a trip to Alva, and
during their visit in that city, Mr.
Garrison purchased the furniture
store of Louis Miller, the oldest and
largest furniture business in Alva.
They will move to Alva and take
charge of the business as soon as
business matters here can be closed
up.
Blackwell people will regret to lose
this good family, and their leaving
us will occasion a distinct loss in both
business and social circles. Alva is
to be congratulated upon this acquisi-
tion to the business and home life of |
