In this we think that Missouri and other states err. Myron T. Herrick, our Ambassador in France, has given every mssurance that the demonstrations against Americans were the work of hoodlums, and that they ate not to be considered as indicating that true attitude of the French people, who. Ambassador Herrick contends, are as friendly as ever. *--Not only Ambassador Herrick, but other big men in a position to know state that the reported anti--American feeling is a myth and that the sooner we forget that it ever existed the better off both countries will be. In this contention they are absolutely right. There is never anything to be gained by m alive the embers of dissention, particularly when the original cause is in doubt. __, And as far as the proposed visit of the Legion is concerned, by all means let it go through as originally scheduled, for, if it is called off at this time, it will give France a genuine M The yvisit of the Legion was to enable the American goldiers to meet again tuose guilant French soldiers with whom they shared the dangers and honors of a bloody and victorious war and there is no good reason why the visit should not be made as planned. ; We are sure that not only will there be no anti--American sentiment shown toward the visiting Legion men but that the American boys will find a welcome in France that will be every whit as enthusiastic as when they first arrived on French soil. _' Of course boys sometimes do this thing ®g a means of getting to and from some job where they are employed, and if there was some way of distinguishing them from mere roamers, people would gladly take them in. Perhaps in some cases they could be given a certain kind of tag which people in the vidnity could recognize. S THE LEGION VISIT f One of the major subjects to be discussed at the annual American Legion meeting to be held at Philadelphia on October 10 will be that of the proposed visit of the Legiogon to France in 1927. This project, which has been under way for a long time, is now understood to be opposed by Missouri and other states, representatives of which feel that the recent anti--American demonstrations in France indicate that members of the American Legion would not be welcome in France. -- .Some of these boys want mereiy to ride to the next street ecorner, which distance they would better have walked. They need to exercise their own muscles. Some of these ride beggars fi'm so far in the street that there is danger of their getting run over. _ The impécunious boy who begs rides to cover a considerable distance to school can be excused for his request. Anyone should be glad to tike him in. But those who are just bumming rides in order to see the country and have a good time, when ey should be at work or helping their parents, are not getting any benefit, and nothing is done for them by encouraging this --_ Too many of these ride beggars are just trying to get some-- thing for nothing, and they are looking for easy ways of getting things they want without work. They would better remember that it is healthier and more developing to travel on their own shoe leather. _ Many hard working men going to and from their jobs might well be taken in, only sometimes this practice has encouraged the bandit element to prey on honest people. * THUMBING A RIDE _ _ Along all the motor roads one sees boys and young men elevating their thums in the air, pointed toward the direction to which they wish to go. Some motorists are good natured enough to stop and take them in. It costs nothing to do it, Em the driver often questions if it ts well to encourage ris habit. ° , y | POLITICAL EXAGGERATION ~-- The country is now in for several weeks of intensive eampaigning. We shall as usual hear much fervid oratory, and bitter charges will be hurled back and forth. It will\'be declared that the nation is at the parting of the ways, that it must ehoose between great perils on one hand, and a safe and prosperous course in the opposite direction. » Many political chieftains will call <~their opponents by znm rascals or fools, and before election day we shall hear a great deal of hot talk. _ This spirit descends into every day conversation, and some h&n never been able to talk politics on the street without getting mad about it. x _ Such keen interest in politics may be better than the absolute indifferentism which so many people manifest, who Wwill not take the least trouble to vote at elections and primaries, and are willing to shove off all responsibility on someone else. It at least shows interest in the duties of good citizenship, when people get excited over political questions and have firm and aggressive opinions... _ But the time has gone by when people could be convinced by wild and sweeping statements. The orators and editors who make such claims are sized up by the common sense of the people as being unable to see these questions in an un-- 'prejudiced light. * many sacrifices to be boys again. rdfi'vflfldmwm #x to Sunday school. 7 wo* .* L ' P s --m W" @-- _A speaker or writer 4s most convincing when he seems to approach his subject in a dispassionate light, allow due weight to the arguments of his opponents, and gives them credit for rtcm good ideas they may have.
