He told the boys: "Never be a snob.
Reach out your hand to ALL"

Labor and Agriculture Tntertwined
Interests of labor and agriculture,
Governor Cox declared to his Fair
Grounds audience. are 1ncertwined and
interdependent.
Referring to the League of Nations
with statement THAI 1t was not O po-
litical question, except when turned to
partisan uses, Governor Cox said:
millions of men. women and chill
dren in devastated regions of Europe
are literally starving to death, when
America has the ability and resources
to provide for them all. But this pro-
vision can be made only when recon-

our soldiers achieved victory in the
great war and by their direct con-
tribution brought the war to a close,
we still do not have peace. Until chat
peace is accomplished little headway
can be made. Not only is the civiliza-
tion Of the world at stake, but the ma
terial welfare of our own country is
vitally affected.
Waste and extravaganza must con-

tries of the world know definitely
where we stand"
Public Opinion Rules
Turning to the labor question, Gov
ernor Cox continued:
Labor is vitality interested in the
plan of readjustment, which will be
adopted. There are those who think
the answer to present difficulties lies
in the adoption Of plans of the past;
not of that class. think that the
solution is in the dawn of q new DAY,
when the human soul and the human
body shall count for more than the
sordid dollar.
$50 long as men work for hire there
will be differences of opinion between
those who labor and those who employ
labor. Industrial disputes cannot be
avoided, but industrial disputes can be
prevented from menacing the welfare
of the nation, when both parties to'the
dispute can be made to understand
that government is fair,-and that
neither one nor the other may gain
an advantage.
Especial interests is only another
term for privileges. The privileged
few are assisted by those who through
permit the elimination of the majority
rule. Special privileges are aided by
the extreme radicals who propose
things that are either unavoidable or
advanced ahead Of their time. BY mis-
guided advocacy of inappropriate
things they deceive many earnest citi-
zens who desert from progressivism.
Labor should have the right to
organize and through representatives

lective bargaining. This right never
has been denied capital. Care must
be exercised that government at no
time be made oppressive in maintain
ing the laws of the land.
"Too long have we urged the down
trodden Of other lands to come to us
as laborers without giving a thought
to their proper absorption in the
melting pot: Once OH our shores they
have been forgotten until by our own
neglect they have become serious
menace through lack of education and
understanding of our ideals. Ameri-
canization must be seriously under
taken by the government with insist
ence upon full cooperation by the en-
ployers of this labor
Urging adequate remuneration for
government employees, Governor Cox
said that if elected he would sign
bill granting the "long suffering and
loyal postal employees the relief they
so richly deserve in the way of ap-
propriate and adequate wages"
