AND IT CAME TO PASS
(Contributed)
And it came t»> pass that the city of Seattle which is by the Sound railed
J'uget, waxed strong and flourished as a green bay tree, and the inhabitants
thereof grew and the city became mighty because of its people. And many
ships were builded within the gates of the < ity. even ships for the nation.
And behold, there came to the city many workmen to fashion the ships
because of the great need of them. «
And there came also a few men called "radicals" who sought to set
the workmen against their employers, and against the government and tlie
chosen leaders thereof.
And much mischief was done by the radicals who inflamed the work
men saying. “Ye are poorly paid, why will ye toil with your hands for so paltry
a recompense. Harken unto us, refuse to labor until your employers increase
your stipend."
And many of the laborers heard the injunction of the radicals and wot
not that the radicals devised to overthrow the government and its rulers and
do violence to all authority. And many more did hear the radicals and div
ined their hidden purpose, but feared to raise their voices against lest they
I o dealt with harshly.
And^after many days it came t<» pass on a fixed date the radicals com-;
pel led all who worked with their hands to tease from their labors, and refuse
to do aught.
And all the people were seized with a great fear because the cars ran
not through the streets, neither did the jitney pursue its usual course and
many threats of violence were heard, and much inconvenience was fastened
upon the inhabitants.
Now tdc of the Tribe of Hanson. Norseman, was the ruler of the city, i
and when he saw the evil which was being wrought to all the people and thel
defiance of the radicals of authority, he was very wrol with righteous indie--'
nation for he knew that great harm was being clone to the laborer as wellj
as to the employer.
And he arose and girded up his loins and smote his-breast and called
for his Chief of Police, one Joel F. Warren, a mighty man of valor, whose
stature was very great, and who feared no man. And the ruler, even Ole,
said unto the Chief. “Canst thou with thy valiant band provide full protection
f..r these my people who suffer, for I will issue an edict directing business to
be resumed as usual at S a. in. on the morrow."
Then the chief, raising himself to his full height, which is head and
shoulders above other men. answered the ruler saying. “Verily I with my men
am fully prepared to offer the fullest protection to all the people against our
common enemy, and should any there* be who openly defy thy authority or
seek to destroy property or life, 1 will drive them before me until their hats
float over them in the waters of the Sound."
And Ole the ruler was much pleased for he knew it was even as the
Chief had said
And Ole called in a scribe and caused a parchment to be written re-'
assuring all the people even the laborers, and he denounced the radicals as
“revolutionists,” "reds.” “bolshevists,” "enemies of the government. And he
tore from the radicals their mask, which had hidden them.
And all the people heard their ruler and took heart, and they said,
“Surely God is good that such a just and fearless man is our ruler,” and the
name of Ole Hanson was mighty throughout the length and breadth of the
land. And his people loved him and also his Chief for the salvation which
they vouchsafed, not only to the people of Seattle, but the whole nation.
And the deeds of Ole became an example for the rulers of other cities
of the land—REEGNAPS
UNITED FOR PEACE
(Boston Herald)
There appears a tendency to talk of differences of view between tho
allies and the United States with respect to the peace terms that shall be im
posed on Germany and her confederates in the war. It is easy to speculate on
the existence of differences and not at all difficult to imagine and then magnify
them, but it is insidous and might become gravely injurious. Surely the Brit
ish chancellor of the exchequer is right in saying that for the future of the
world and for the sake of the peoples that participated in the war it is not
loss essential now than during hostilities that there should be good feeling
among the nations by whom the war was won. No just cause can be served
by passing over the many things on which they agree and laying stress upon
anything on which they differ.
We should all make anchors of a few incontestable facts and hold on
to them amid the clouds and gusts of speculative discussion. When it is
broadly hinted that there Is disagreement between the allied premiers and
Picsidcnt Wilson regarding the fourteen points of his peace program <*f Jan.
S. let us remember, as a matter within our knowledge, that there is full agree
ment on all but one. This we know, because it. was clearly stated in the dis
patch announcing that Marshal Foch had been authorized by the American
|aml allied governments to receive German representatives and communicate
to them the terms of an armistice. The allies said they understood the
required evacuation and restoration of invaded territories to include compensa
tion by Germany for all damage done to the civilian inhabitants and their
property, and the President expressed his agreement with this interpretation.
What is usually called the freedom of the seas was the solitary point
! on which the allied and American governments were not one. It was open,
said the allies, to various interpretations, some of which they could not accept,
ami they must therefore reserve to themselves complete freedom on this subject
when they entered the peace conference. That was all. Agreement so nearly
perfect prior to the meeting of the conference Is highly satisfactory. And
there need he no fear but that a settlement of the one question reserved for
discussion will be effected. It is a knotty question, yvhich may seem to have
Mr. Wilson pulling forward on one end, the Admiral von Tirpitz idea trailing
at the other, and Admiral Sims, with the French, British and Italian admiral
ties, holding on the middle passage. This is a situation to which the principle
cT give and take is eminently applicable, and nothing Is more probable than
settlement by a friendiy compromise carrying reform a little further than the
unratified declaration of London.
At any late, let us exclude from our minds the notion that there may
be danger of a split among the-democratic nations at the peace congress in
regard to this or some other subject. There is not. That notion is a German
wish, and is as illusory as a German victory by force of arms. Those who
unitedly won the* war will not be vict'ms of division now. Bather may we
confidently expect them to prove at the conference that peace hath her victor
ies no less renowned than war.
