As to Class Prejudice
EVERY right thinking citizen deplores the arousing of class
prejudice. It ii against one of our moat cherished tradi
tions, that this is a country where no classes at least in the
European sense exist. And its potentialities for harm, if
carried to an extreme, everyone agrees are tremendous.
Yet, no realistic observer can view the present political scene
and deny that politically speaking, a more or less, clear cut
class division exists. It is not unprecedented. A similar divi
sion occurred when Theodore Roosevelt, fighting for his
"square deal", and swinging his big stick, against the heads of
his "predatory rich" and "malfactors of great wealth" finally
left the Republican party, and formed his Bull Moose. And
during William Jennings Bryan's first presidential campaign,
the class division was even more acute. So it was, as far as
that goes in the days of Jefferson and Jackson.
But this does not alter the fact, that the arousing of one
class against another in this country, whatever the came, and
whatever the political justification, is extremely' unfortunate ;
and if possible for the welfare of the country, as a whole, should
be avoided.
BUT with the conditions what they are, and the need for
radical social and economic reform what it is, how can -this
be doneT
As we see it, it can't be, short of dropping that program of
radical reform entirely. And if one will review the political
history of this country, it will be dear, that under similar cir
ciiiiiKlnnces it never has been. It is simply the price that must
be paid, for any effort to change, in any fundamental and far
reaching fashion, the status quo.
OUT the destructive force of such a division, can be matcriully
- reduced, if not removed entirely, by a greater spirit of toler
ance and restraint on both sides. And when we say both sides,
we mean BOTH sides.
For this class prejudice business i not confined to one side
by any means. A cartoon in the current New Yorker, by Peter
Arno will illustrate whRt we mean,
A quartet of typical "economic royalists" are standing
before the open window of a Park Avenue residence, saluting
the master of the house who, in evening dress, is enjoying his
after-dinner coffee.
Says one of the female members of the E. R. quartet the
one in a dog collar and sable coat
"Come along. We're going to the Trans-Lux to hiss Roose
velt." And that, by the way, is entirely typical, it is being
done, it's the thing to do, in the
all our larger cities.
those who have recently visited the East, can have
the slightest conception of the intensity snd virulence of
the class feeling AGAINST the man who happens to occupy the
White House at the present time. And yet they are the ones
who put the entire blame for
shoulders of the president) while
ing to it stupidly and malignantly in every possible wuy.
I ET'S have loss of that sort of thing 1
And at the same time let's have less of the disposition on
the other side of the fence, to misinterpret Roosevelt's program
and regard it as a conflict of the "have nots" against the
"halves", the golden opportunity for those .who consider
tliomsolves the under privileged, not to get their JUST desserts
but considerably more, while the getting is good. They are
just its guilty on their side, as tho E. R.'s on the other.
POR that isn't I lie Roosevelt idea at all, just as tho last tiling
in the world the president wishes to do is arouse,
PERMANENTLY, ono class against the other, for thnt would
render impossible, the very thing, he is working so hard to
accomplish.
For what is President Roosevelt's REAL objective! It. is
briefly the same as T. R,'g objective a SQUARE DEAL. He
feels just as T. R. felt that unless this is to be made a good
country for ALL of us, it wou't be a good country for ANY
of us.
TPHE most outrageous libel of this campaign has been the
charge that Roosevelt is trying to destroy our democratic
form of government. That is not only untrue, but the exact
reverse of the truth. He is trying in every possiblo way to pre
serve it, to so reform Democracy that it will WORK,
When he looks over such authentic reports as that of the
Brooking Institution regarding the social and economic condi
tions in this country, he sees something is radically wrong, and
(hat. a change in a system that produces such a condition is
imperative, if democracy is to endure.
He is trying, and ever since his inauguration, has been trying
to bring thHt about. The spring of his action lies not in his
devotion to one class or another, but his devotion to his country
and all the people in it.
OI'.t'.U'RE the defect in the present social ami economic set
up, has rested with the rank and file the masses natur
nlly his chief interest has been with them, to improve their
condition. And because of this he has been accused of arouoing
class prejudice I
That accusation as above stated is, we fear, inevitable. It's
the price that must be paid. But we do maintain that any fair
minded person in possession of all the facts will agree, as
impartial history will unquestionably record, that the charge
is NOT true,

Mr. Roosevelt' technical situation
In thla moat Interesting campaign Is
unusual. When he really start cam
paigning, he has three alternative. He
may defend. He may attack. Or he
can make more promises. None of
these alternatives Is inviting. Defence
la usually ttnlnterestlng. alwaya weak.
His main purpose of establishing the
fundamental theory that he Is for
the poor and fighting against the
rich has been established, In the
opinion of his associate. Similarly,
there Is not much for him to attack.
The chanc of a personal atttck on
Governor Landon Is out- The Demo
cratic theory Is that Mr. Landon Is
a good fellow, but does not know
much. The laauea Landon ha been
bringing up In his speeches do not
raise any new point which can be
torn to pieces by attack. This leaves
the prospect of making more prom
ises. The mere mention of It la It
own answer. Promises of crop Insur
ance, balanced budget, etc , have been
made or are being prepared, but If
there Is anything else, his friends
hav overlooked It.
Therefore, from the standpoint of
political planning, there Is really not
much for Mr. Roosevelt to say.
The political planners here seem to
be more eager nnd anxious than au
premelv confident group usually are
Latest example : The agriculture
building was turned around and faced

However, the working theory which
the president has handed down to

wants a vote of confidence. He would
be deeply disappointed If he Just
squeezed through.
This explains, they say. why he

All the business district, with the

The old Dalen mill and the Moore

Bandon homes the poor and well-to-do
alike have been razod or al

Along with the loss of food auppllee
there la little or no water available

It was a futile gesture against flames

Note Another manifestation of
anxiety was given recently by a New

the uninspiring and unspectacular
way In which Landon had been plug

It appeared to be to New Dealers. He
thought It had caused little change
yet, but feared the cumulative effect
of five more weeks.
Similarly, Democratic Insiders have
received many complaints that state

sitting on their hands, too confident
to do anything.
