Jesse Root Grant died of eX-
posure and malnutrition rather than
humble the proud name he bore.
He was the son of the brother OF
the great general. Ulysses Simpson
Grant. He was found in a coma in
the basement of the cold, barren
Chicago house where he and his
son had tried in vain to wrest a
living from a world that no longer
cared.
Once a railroad accountant, he
retired some 10 years ago At IA,
he had nothing, could do nothing.
Even his son, Ulysses S. Grant, 80,
had been unemployed since 1890.
The last of a small legacy had
been exhausted. The fire in the
furnace had gone out. The only
thing in the house was a pewter
pitcher which had been kept bright

general the surviving Grant said.
Though everything was gone,
Jesse Grant had been too proud
to ask help of friends, too proud
TO allow his name to appear on
relief roles. All he could do was to
keep the pitcher bright, and die.
His pride, like his name, descend
ed to him legitimately. The man

ONE COMPANY STRESSES THE
OTHER FELLOWS VIEWS

A nationally known manufacturing
company in San Francisco this week
graduated the first class from its school
of collective bargaining. The school was
established for union employers of the
company, and soon became SO popular
that union officials from other firms
asked permission to attend.
The school teaches its students in
brief, how to bargain collectively.
To many employers the idea of such
an institution is anathema They throw
up their hands in horror when such a
plan is suggested. Yet, in the case of
the San Francisco company, the policy
represented in this school has increased
plant efficiency, done away almost Ell
tirely with employer-employe friction,
and brought about better understanding
between executives and laborers.
The result is only natural
Unless we watch ourselves, we in AM
erica are apt to drift too far from the
proper conception of industrial rela-
tions. We find ourselves sometimes divid-
ing our working population into two
classes, the employers and the employees,
and looking upon them as two separate
entities.
The truth is that there cannot be two
SUN Sldl ply uINIutu SldSoSS IL pIOopSl-
ity is to become stabilized. Should we
insist on creating two classes, we are
heading back toward system under
which serfs served lords, and there was
no chance for either to change places
with the other There must remain a
common bond between employer and
employe if our present economic system
is to prosper and improve. IN mutual
interests that bond can be found.
Any school or instruction or confer
ence which serves to acquaint the en-
ploye with the employers problems, and
to give the employer an insight into the
problems of those who are on his pay
roll, is a step in the right direction. As
such, it is bound to bear fruit in i'm
proved conditions, greater mutual under
standing and increased efficiency.
1t has been the fault in the past, and
to great extent even now, that labor
unions, representing employees, acted
without first considering the employers
side of the question. 1t has been equally
true, however, that often employers have
acted without giving thought to the
rights or needs of employees.
The employe has an obligation to his
employer. 1t is just as true that the en-
ployer has an obligation to his employees.
When both realize this, and stand to-
gether on common ground, there will be
less labor strife and greater progress.

THEY'LL HAVE IT ALL
TO DO OVER AGAIN

The National Labor Relations Board
probably will order collective bargain
ing election in Imperial Valley lettuce
sheds soon.
Even if they do, however, it will do
nobody much good The lettuce season
will be over in short time-before any
collective bargaining could bring results.
Then, next year, with new crews in
the sheds, another election would have
to be held Before it had been decided,
probably, the season would be about over
again.
That is why agricultural laborers were
exempted from terms of the Wagner
Labor Relations act. And nature itself
will defeat any efforts of the Labor
Relations board to interpret the Wagner
act in such a way that shed workers, in
actuality agricultural workers, are call
ed anything else.

WASHINGTON. = BY day the
national capital is exciting enough.
By night it is nothing less than
magical
When the sun goes down they
turn on the floodlights. Then the
Capltoi dome floats over the dusk,
White and shining: the Washing
ton monument rises like pillar
of fire By night. and a marble
Abraham Lincoln sits in his great
chair III the Lincoln Memorial
and-throueh some trick of the
lishtng-seems to look out with
broodine tenderness at these two
symbols of his country.
These three things Capitol,
monument and memorial some
how sum up the best that Wash
ington means.
The best place to go to see them
IS the open space III front of the
Lincoln Memorial To the east the
monument. a tall. unadorned shaft
which is a constant reminder OF
the man and the spirit that
brought the country to birth. Be-
yond is the Capitol. All you can
see of it is is the dome, made small
by distance, cleaning as white and
insubstantial as the dome of some
city imagined but never seen.
Now in ordinary times it is easy
enough-all too easy. perhaps =
to remember your country's i'm
perfections down here in Washing
ton Under that cleaning dome
of the Capitol. for instnace. there
sits a cross section of the electo-
rate: men who often enough make
mistakes, and think of their own
fortunes instead of their country's,
and share in all the faults common
TO the rest of us.
But by night, when the lights
are OH. you don't think of that.
For il you see the reality by
daylight. at night you see the
ideal And in the long run the
ideal is always more important
than the reality What America
always Wantedto be, often honestly
tries to be and now and then glor-
iously succeeds in being, is the
justification for her existence. And
it is that which you see at night.
Then the shining dome of the
Capitol is more than just the top
of the governments most impor-
tant building. It is the symbol OF
a society in which men strive to
get along together. in which one
mans advantage is not another
mans disadvantage.
And as the white dome SYM
bolizes that. and rises triumphant
ever the night as a portent of free
societys ultimate triumph, SO does
the Washington monument SYM
bolize the devotion. the endurance
and the selfishness on which the
naticn was founded.
Then there is the Lincoln Me
mortal. It is a huge building. and

NEED OF NATION TODAY
IS ONE GOOD HUMORlST
[ Exeter Sum


Two men in local office were over
heard the other day swapping stories
about Mark Twain, each story ending in
hearty laughs for both the narrator and
his listener. How often one hears re-
marks of the late Will Rogers retold in
conversation to illustrate a point and
10 bring a laugh.
The nation today could use humorist
of the type of Mark Twain or the beloved
Will. How less sinister current events
would seem if these men were alive to
make their homely comments on them.
Yes. the nation could use a good hui
morist It has plenty of the sophisticated
Robert Benchley type. and the cutting,
snobbish Dorothy Parker type. What it
needs is the kind of humorist whose
approach is universal, understandable
and apprecable by the high and the low.
