(Official City, State and County Newspaper) A Vital Figure Passes ~ "With the passing of Judge Elbert Gary, this , gountry has lost. one of its most vital figures. As president of the United States Steel corpora- ; tion; as an arbitrator of-industrial difficulties; as a social leader, and as a conndisseur Judge Gary was _ Outstanding. And his influence ‘and ability, instead * of waning as he reached an age where most men are deemed to have started on the downward trail. steadily increased. To Gary is the greatest credit due for the abolish- ment of the 12-hour day in the steel industry. For “dome years he had studied this problem and finally made his momentous decision to shorten the work- ing man’s hours. When he suggested it, he was _ Strongly opposed by the steel plant operators. The * prosperity of the country would be seriously im- _ paired; there might be a shortage of labor, they said. “ But Judge Gary put his plan into operation. The , benefits were great and there was no financial crash. Again, as the organizer of the industrial safety movement, Judge Gary performed a great public service. Under his direction. the United States Steel corporation has spent millions of dollars in ac cident prevention measures. That this was money well spent is shown by a comparison of the tremen- dous fatality rates of steel plants in the early days with those of today. Constantly, Judge Gary worked to bring the em- “ployer and employe closer together. This might be said to be the greatest-work he did. It resulted in removing from the steel industry much of the sus- picion and mistrust which had previously per- “meated it. Through his unflagging interest in better working conditions, better living conditions for em- “ployes, he built up a loyalty and friendship which _can be found in but few other industries. But the thing about Judge Gary which is probably ‘the most important is that his life again illustrates that the day of “self-made men” is not past. His “parents were farmers and not especially well-to-do. But by his own efforts, he climbed to>success—and in his success he did not forget those who had less money than he; those who worked for him and them- selves were striving for success. Another Solution for Governor Fuller :In the east, a new solution to the Sacco-Vanzetti case is being put forward by many. That is this: that Governor Fuller commute the sentence of the _ two men to life imprisonment, instead of letting “them hang. It is argued that there were five men concerned ‘4n the South Braintree murder, and Sacco and Van- zetti are but two of them, if they had anything to do “with it at all. Again, it is argued that if later evi- <dence should prove the men guiltless, though that “seems doubtful, they could be set free and the real murderers could pay the penalty. This is another hard question for Governor Fuller ‘44 answer. He must decide which is the wisest and best course: to let the men hang or to let them live -out their lives in prison. - ;But there is this to remember: “had what might be considered three trials. Sndives. called, have agreed that they are guilty. “coats or academic gowns.” + {But despite this futile attempt to further stir the ‘embers of class-hatred, the fact remains that in the jteials of Sacco and Vanzetti the government has And this fairness should ¢strengthen the governor and make him hold stead- “fastly to the conclusion that the men shall dic for been eminently fair. jtheir part in a brutal, inhuman crime.

Nv Military Training Continues (Fargo Forum) North Dakota will not drop military training from Mr. Kitchen voted in favor of military training in keeping with the Military training in the higher institutions of learning does not mean that the United States is headed toward militarism. There has never been anything militaristic about this country, and there never will be. Since the beginning, it has cham- pioned the cause of world peace and will continue to do so. Since the war, it has made the cause of dis- armament an important feature of international negotiations. It called and directed the Washington conference, and under its sapere eres toward limitation of navies. It call eneva conference, and failed there, not because it wa militaristic or sought naval powers it was not en- titled to but because Great Britain has no desire to further limit her navy. The cause of disarm- ament suffered a great drawback beeause of the Geneva failure, but the collapse of that conference will not prevent the United States from continuing to-look forward toward greater disarmament, The military training given. young men in the colleges and universities serves several fine pur- poses. In the first place, it provides, for that meas- ure of preparedness that any great’ government should have. The United States lost more men in the World War than it should have simply because it was not properly prepared. To give young men military training during their college careers is to approach adequate preparedness and to be in posi: tion to reduce casualties to the minimum if war ever should come again. And it may come. The advocates of peace, total disarmament, etc. cannot assure one that war will never fall upon the world again. They were confident that it would not come erigaged in a conflict such as the world had never. the hai he has tied fruits of Rig proviees dicker.. le. makes an.inquiry and the conver- sation begins.
