, WHO IS THE WORKER?
Quite frequently we hear from a platform orator,
generally one who is running for office, that he is the
friend of the “working man.” Again we hear that this
political party or that one, is the patron of the “work
ing man*. Perhaps it would be just as well to pause and
inquire for a moment, just who is this "American work
ing man” anyhow, and how did he get that way?
In nations of the Old World there is, in most coun
tries, a class of workers which is entirely distinct from
the other strata of society. A working man has a very
difficult time pumping into the economic group that is
above him, and certainly he is for all time barred from
social success, even if he, or the members of his family
should be vain enough to want it. In the old European
idea of human society there was a landed gentry, a
group of tradesmen and then the great group of work
ers. It was and still is in most cases, very difficult to ad
vance from a lower group to a higher. We have, there
fore, in countries where this situation exists, class gov
ernment with blocs and factions in the parliamentary
body, if any.
In the United States this has never been the case.
Every’ man has worked who had the ambition and the
opportunity to do so. There has been no class of idle
rich. The average industrialist has put in as many
hours as the salaried man or wage earner, and he often
points with pride to the number of jobs he has been
able to afford for others through the effort of his own
thrift, intelligence and industry.
Abraham Lincoln put it well when he said:
“There is no permanent class of hired laborers
amongst us. Twenty-five years ago I was a hired lab
orer. The hired laborer of yesterday labors on his own
account today, and will hire others to labor for him to
morrow.”
Here is the true American principle of progress. It
is in recognition of such a principle that we have built
the greatest economic empire ever known to man, in a
period of time, the brevity of whch defies all history.
Work has never been looked upon in America as de
grading, but as the means to better things for the in
dividual and his family.
Because of this fact, however, this is not the time
for Americans to assume an attitude of condescension
toward class-ruled European nations. For we are con

fronted with a real danger of class consciousness our
selves. On every hand we hear the cry of the demago
gue—who is usually begging for votes—that he is “for
the working class”, and “against the idle rich and the
capitalist.”
Often he promises a redistribution of wealth by
taking property away from the man who has accumu
lated it through his own thrift and enterprise, and giv
ing it to those who have never earned anything for
themselves.
The great danger is, of course, that an attempt at
re-distribution of wealth through increasing high taxes,
will only end in poverty and misery for all, as has been
the case in Russia. But there is another danger which
is just as great—a danger that the United States will
become a nation of class conscious haters of the other
fellow. Such a condition will spell the end of Ameri
can prosperity and American progress—Cordova Times.
Was Too Lazy
(By The Associated Press)
TULSA, Okla., Sept.—“I didn’t
steal the lawnmower,” said Geo.
Tipton, a negro, to Municipal
Judge A. A. Hatch. “I stumbled
over it and I was too lazy to walk
around it, so I just pushed it a
way.” ‘‘Fifteen days and $20.00,"
replied the judge.
