THE â-  V^-n... MMW.FMDAY. SUTEHBERa, Ig MINUTE visinoo soon Local Organization of Pa- triots Determined Upon 100% Membership PURPOSES DEFINED Sharp Reply Made to Foes of Movement An intensive campaign is m progress to give Wilmette a 100 percent represen- tation in the Minute Men of the Consti- tution, organized in the village two months ago under the Personal direction of General Charles G. Dawes, father ot the movement and which has as its pur- pose the enforcement of the laws of the country and firm adherence to the prin- ciples of government as embodied in tne constitution. Under the supervision of Leslie W. Millar, 510 Washington avenue, captain of the Wilmette company of the organi- zation, a score or more of prominent men in the community are conducting a house- to-house canvass intended to make every man and woman in the community a member of the Minute Men of .the Con- stitution. It is estimated that Wilmette should have a membership of approxi- mately 5,000. ThereJs no financial ob- ligation on the part of any member either upon joining the movement or at any time in the future, it is explained. The organization is absolutely non-partisan -and open to every person regardless of occupation or station in life. Editorial Conajpends Move : The aims and purposes of the move- ment are splendidly defined in the ac- companying editorial which appeared in the Chicago Journal of Commerce on September 5, -1923, entitled. "The Min- ute "Men and their Leader." The editorial reads: ..,-------^ „The Minute Men" ( "It is an energetic and persistent civil (campaign General Dawcs-has been wag- ing in Illinois for the past four months do build.up the nonpartisan association known as 'The Minute Men of the Con- stitution.' He has made some fifty •speeches, organized about sixty compan- ies, each with a captain, and .under the captains eight hundred lieutenants, in a considerable part of the state. .,^.w*--.. "Facts about the Minute Men's asso- ictatfeih may be briefly summarized_as_ follows: All good citizens, men or wom- en are eligible to membership. The only requirement is signing an enrollment bard pledging support to the activities of ithe Minute Men. There are no dues. Voluntary contributions finance the move- talent, which is neither one for the open shop, nor against labor organizations. Every,, town and county in the state is to be organized into companies under a Captain and lieutenants, none of whom are paid for their work for the organiza- tion. It is purely patriotic, non-partisan and without purpose to promote politi- which uphold its principles, and the Taws under which the enemies of the government who seek to destroy t may be punished, is well knggU He views the Minute Men, and their devotion to the republic, as inimical to his desire for a social revolution, and what he says carries no weight witn loval citizenship. . '•General Dawes is giving two or three days a week to building up the member- ship of the organization Last week he made three speeches, and organized time companies in as many Illinois towns. It ,-TOw observed that members of the Amei- ^ican Legion and of various business or- ganizationsâ€"Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, {he Lions, and other ictive community in- fluences,â€"were greatly interested in the success of the movement. One meeting was in a city hall, another in the base- ment of a church, the third in a court house, with young men predominating The general's speeches were fervent,â€" vitalized by his intense patriotism, and characteristic of the man in his fearless exposure and denunciation of those who look with disfavor on unselfish efforts to crystallize sentiment for law, order and patriotic service. One cannot see and hear this distinguished citizen of Illi- nois without conviction of his. sincerity, honesty and unselfish purposes. He is a patriot first and last, a tercor to skulkr ers and enemies of. his country and its institution's,, and upsparing Jn his con- tempt for cowardly politicians and trim- mers." FIRST SYMPHONY CONCERT OCTOBER 15 (Continued from page 1) speaks volumes for the popularity of the symphony concerts. Varied Programs As for the personnel of the orches- tra, it will be identical with that of last season. For the children's mat- inees there win be the usual number of 25 men which make up the orig- inal Little Symphony. But the num- ber will be greatly augmented for the evening concerts, the minimum to ap- pear being 35. The character of the programs ,will not differ materially from those_of last season. On perhaps twer occa- sions the entire program will be given by the orchestra alone-and without an assisting soloist. At least there Will be rio> soloist for the first con- cert. But it is planned to have as- sisting artists on five nights. It is expected that these' artists will in- clude a pianist, a violinist, a 'cellist and two. vocalists. In view of, the fact that the December concerts falls close to Christmas, it is probable the program on that evening will consist of music appropjrjatejio_the season. ------â€"Mair"Bill* Next Week Old subscribers who have renewed their subscriptions for the season will Our Door-Yard Farmers Engage In Causticisms Not to be outdone by his a|jpc«tc at the adjoining desk, Dan G. btilts, vice president of the Wilmette SteteBank, has been exhibiting a â„¢m™°nhr^£ the great envy of one William I).

Has Been Misrepresented . "From assumed indifference, certain in- fluences hostile to the principles of the Minute Men have been stirred to active hostility to the movement, which is the best possible evidence that the work of General Dawes is bearings fruit. There have been some public misrepresentations of the purposes of the Minute Men, and many quiet efforts under cover to cheek the growth of their popular plans. One of the most recent of the public utterances against the organization is that John H. Walker, president of the Illinois Federation of Labor, that the Minute Men are the 'legitimate descen- dants of Captain Kidd, and the primitive pirates of feudal times.'

The fondest visions of the most cynical tenant have been more than realized in The Orrington. True Revelation not only from tyrannical minorities and majorities, but also maintains for them their inalienable individual rights, is not without significance when it comes from the head of an organization which, as a body as least, cannot be regarded as a friend of the American principle, that at citizen of the Republic is entitled to pursue his lawful vocation without in- terference or dictation from any source, J official or private. • "An earlier symptom of alarm was the statement of Victor Berger in his Mil- waukee Socialist publication, in which he characterized the avowed purposes and principles of the Minute Men's nrgan- zation as follows: 'Sounds fair on its . faceâ€"but means death to the right to strikeâ€"means governmental protection to strike breakersâ€"means, low wages and lengthened hours of laborâ€"means the open shop.'
