The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-13
Separating the Chaff from the Wheat

ate still more the petty bourgeois
elements from the class conscious
workers in both town and country.
In South Dakota this same filter
ing process between the classes is in
evidence. The so-called minority
group in the Farmer-Labor party
have omitted from their platform, the
two most important planks adopted
by the Pierre convention, namely,
"land for the users" and "a five year
moratorium for the working farm
ers".
Batcheller, the leader of the Farm
ers' Union in South Dakota, comes
out in the press and states that the
farmer is made to look like criminal
by his insisting upon these obviously
necessary measures. Beck, the agent
in the state of the reactionary Com
pers, talks pompously about how
fundamental democracy" is en-
dangered by such a radical" pro-
gram. Bates, Bartling and others,
who have been prominent and "good"
leaguers and Farmer-Laborites in the
past, express themselves in q similar
tone.
The guns Of the opposition are
trained against Tom Ayres, the South
Dakota farmers and workers candi-
date for United States senator. To
the discontinue and dismay of the
pussyfooters and politicians in the
state, Ayres is insisting upon a mo-
ratorium and land for the users. He
could hardly have thrown a bigger
bombshell into the camp of the reac-
tionaries than by thus fearlessly Civ
ing expression to the vital needs and
demands of the exploited farmers.
The struggle in South Dakota is
interesting and of the greatest signi-
ficance to the farmers and the work.
ers of the entire country. Here, in
embryo, we witness the separation of
the chaff from the wheat,-the petty
bourgeois philistines and middle-class
philosophers are slowly, but surely,
losing their grip ON the masses.

Can't Take
I. V. Cows Into
Mountain Camp

S. j. Rice, the genial owner and
manager of Live Oak Springs in
the mountain, lost out on his re-
quest to the San Diego authorities
for permission to take u Imperial
Valley COWS to his resort for the
summer.
Rice told the San Diego super
visOrs that he will soon have $50
families ut the resort. of which
the large proportion will be chill
drcn, {. and that he would like to
transport the animals to thc hills
to supply the little ones with milk
He explained that the COWS had
been born i'll the V"lley, had never
been out of their native haunts and
that his pasture in the mountain
would be double fenced. But it
was of no avail as the supervisors
kindly but firmly explained that if
his stock was permitted to come
into the county others would insist
on the same privilege, and there was
nothing else to do in the matter
but turn the request down.

De Palma Missing

LOS ANGELES, May 30.-
One familiar face was missing
in the indianapolis speedway
classic today. Ralph de Pal
ma, hero Of thousands of racing
fans for years past, is here
speeding his cream colored Mil
Ter around the Ascot dirt track
in practice for the next race,
June 8.
..-. De Palma was outlawed by
the A.A.A. last winter when he
signed to start i'll the local
dirt track programs, held un-
der the I. M. G. A. banner.
Smiling Ralph will per-
haps never have another op-
portunity to race on board or
brick speedways.
This is the first Memorial
Day in 16 years he has not
been in competition. Ascot
has prospered, however, ;'-d
the Italians guarantee, report
ed to be $2500 a week whether
he wins or not, has brought
him in more money these past
few months than if he took
first in every A. A. A. race
during the year, he declares.

tangible, practical form and being
able to cooperate with his fellow
man, if his high standards are to
be of any benefit to the community
and nation.
He expressed the opinion that in
stead of closing an epoch in their
lives the graduates were really just
beginning, as education was the
building of character and gradua-
ton virtually begins the life work
of molding it.
This was Dr.. Woellner s first trip
to the valley and he expressed
amazement ut the overwhelming ac-
tivity throughout the valley in pro-
duction and pointed to the achieve
ments of the pioneers of 20 years
ago as well nigh Incompatible. He
cited it as further stimulus to
the graduates to absorb as much
education as possible with the idea
of taking their places in the com
munity, and carrying on the great
and splendid work begun by their
fathers and grandfathers.
The educator remarks were
splendidly received and after his ad
dress was finished the glee claD gave
a splendidly rendered selection,
'Gypsy Trail.'
Prof. House then introduced J.
Stewart Ross, president of the board
of trustees, who with few well
chosen remarks presented the much
coveted diplomas-artistic affairs
encased in brown suede leather
cases.
The high orchestra played "Co-
lumbia, the Gen of the Ocean," and
the program concluded by the bene-
diction, given by Rev. c. f. Flani
gan.
An informal reception for trus-
tees, the graduates and their parents
followed in the cafeteria rooms, ten
dered by the principal and faculty
Delightful refreshments were serv-
ed and an informal social hour ell
ioyed by all.

LONDON, May 30.-The British

ii division in the house of commons
on the question of reducing the sal
arv of the minister of labor.
Liberals rallied to the govern

and the proposal was defeated 800

ExPremier Asquith, Liberal lead
er, made clear, however, thai his
party does not consider the question

IN adverse vote at a later date.
Stephen Walsh, secretary of
state for war, Lord Thompson, air
minister and Frank Hodges, labor

the laying of flowers on the graves
of the dead veterans by j. NJ.
Grafton, past commander of the
Spanish War veterans.
Norman Deaton s "Taps' in
honor of the "absent ones who are
always with u.s." was the most i'm
pressive tribute of the program. In
il he spoke of the death to which
all must come. He spoke of the
tears and sorrowing which is so
much a part of life, and of the
hope and faith by which we are
carried on TO believe in the future
eternity.
"It cannot be that earth is
man s only abiding place - he
said. "It cannot be that our life is
mere bubble, east up by eternity
to float moment on the waves
and sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the glorious aspira-
tions, which leap like angels from
the temple of our hearts, are for
ever wandering unsatisfied?
A Fitting Tribute
"tTo those who are in that far,
far country, whose voices it seems
at times we can almost hear in the
murmuring of the breeze at
twilight, in the laughter of the
breeze at dawn, whose faces come
to us in the dreams that hold us
through the long hours, when we
lit and think upon old times. whose
hands we sometimes almost touch
as we reach to the dim veil that
hangs between this world and that
world of theirs beyond the noun
tain peaks that stand between
time and eternity-to them. let MS
drink the love and friendship
which, because it is love and friend
ship, is as eternal as the stars and
as undying rs the soul. Let us
send to them over and over every
happy word and thought and smile,
every gladness they gave us while
thev were with us; for to them 1t
is given to know that when we are
happy here, they may be happier
there.
"God bless them, the absent ones
who are always with us.
Morris Hobby, whose oration IN
memory of the wars and heroes OF
America has attracted much atten-
tion. was by far the youngest of
the speakers in the program. Nor
