As we pause to celebrate Tabor Day on tiie first Monday in Septembei it might be I by “Labor and who are the people to I whom we are doing honor. First—let's consider what we do NOT j m:,ar. " Labor is not as iwers^ns r. class set apart by barriers of tradition and of age old customs, bound to pass on its menial tasks from father to son throughout the com ing generations Labor is not—as in Socialist countries— a party or a pressure group that can be counted upon to vote as a unit at the order of a leader In America there is no trade union official who lias ever been able to de liver the vote of his organization as a bloc Labor is the average American—the rank and file of the productive workers of the country—the men and women who make things, who serve each other, who keep the wheels of industry turning. They may work m office, shop or factory, in the fields or on the sea. It does not matter where they work, whether it be in teeming city, or on a lonely hillside farm, whether the sound m their ears is that of whirring machinery or the slap of waves against a small fishing boat. So long as they produce or help in production, they are Labor. Labor is the average American—the work er who is doing his best at the job for which his own paritcular skill best fits him. work ing hard to make a living for his family and to see to it that his children get a better education and a better start m life than he did. Labor is the average American—-the men and women who believe in the principles upon which our Republic was founded.in the right of al men to be free, to work use fully and creatively through their produc tive years at a wage adequate to furnish the necessities and some of the luxuries of life, and to save for their old age; and who, for these rights and those guaranteed to them by our Constitution, are willing and eager to fulfill all the duties and obligations of citizenship. the of Awe1 leans who throughout the years ha-, e learned L> work together for the common good, and who are an integral part of our great union of states, of our nation, whose foundation is freedom and equality of opportunity for all men. Remember The \i#hl? New York Post The longer he thinks about it. the more convinced is Herbert Hoover that the coun try has been going to perdition ever since he left the White House. In his rewritten his tory book, the Republic was doing fine when he was abruptly retired to private life; he has nothing but bitter words, however, for everything that happened in the 20 years that followed. It is difficult to quarrel with the nostalgic reminiscences of a man who is no longer young; we had wistfully hoped that Mr. Hoover would permit his 80th birthday to pass without another strident, self-righteous sermon. But we hoped in vain. Reading the address he delivered in Iowa yesterday, we were struck bv the fact that a man could reach so venerable an age with so little hu mility and mellowness As Hoovei' sees it. lie was right all along, and never more right than when, as an ex President. he urged tins country to stand aside while the Nazi armies marched tri umphantly through Europe. It must be great to be so sure that everything would have turned out all right if we had denied aid to nations assaulted by Hitler. But such dogmatism seems especially graceless in a man whose record for prophecy has proved so dreary in so many areas. What is most painful in the Hoover text is his renewed onslaught on those policies of the welfare state which restored the dig .•M. m the wars attei the Hoover collapse. It ma\ not oe nice to bring up the subject on the day after a birthday party, but the tone Mr Hoover set for the occasion was hardly congenial. So we must confess that we wondered as he spoke whether he has succeeded in ban ishing all memory of the gaunt faces, the broken homes, and the weeping children that were the unforgettable images of his own Presidency. Of all men, Herbert Hoover should be the last to impose ruthless judgment on others or to claim infallibility for himself. Our Republic has suffered reversals and trage dies in the last two decades. But it was surely never closer to breakdown and an archy than it was as a result of the doctrine that became known to the world as Hoov er ism. You cannot do a kindness too soon, be cause you never know how soon it will be too late.—Emerson. INSPIRATION HOI' R !>:00 A. M. tVIAM Montidi. August 50—D. H. Du Jin Tuesday. August 31—R. E.
