Must All Be Americans Together.

N1uSC All DC &f1unCIlC6NS i OXeCnef. IS
No words truer, sounder or more
timely have been uttered recently BY
any man in responsible public or quasi
public office than those spoken by
Oliver Wilson of Peoria, Ill, national
master of the National grange, at its
53rd annual convention in Grand Rap
ids. Mich, when he said:
aThe keynote Of the hour, whether
we face our national problems or con-
slider our national blessings, is found
in single sentence we must all be
Americans together.
There is today too much tendency
among our people toward class en-
deavor, class thinking, class legisla-
ton
The interests of the nation demand
the destruction of such unworthy ideas.
whether they be foisted by a labor
union or by group Of farmers.
Attempts to divide Americans into
classes, to set one class against an
other, to put up the interests Of one
class as superior to the interests Of
another, have frequently been made.
They have always ended in failure be-
cause they were founded on Ignorance
of fundamental American political and
social conditions.
Not only must we all be Americans
together but all must bear the burden
Of errors, Of folly, Of ignorance, just
as all share the. benefits which fiow
from prudence and wisdom.
