MR. WILSON COUNT ME OUT
Wilson Messaage To Francis Joseph*
“Deeply shocked at the attro
eious murder of his imperial and
royal highness, Archduke Fran
cis Ferdinand, and consort at an
assassin's hands, I extend to
your majesty, to the royal fami1
ly and to the Government of Aus
tria-IIungarv the sincere condo
lence of the government AND
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES and an expression of
tny own profound sympathy.”
Mr. Wilson, count me out.
As one of the “people of the
Doited States” I refuse to weep.
1 do not glory in the killing of
anybody, but at the bier of a
monat-i h my eyes are as dry as'
powder.
I too bar e been “deeply
shocked” but not at the killing
of a lordly loafer.
Mv tears were-all shed’ at. the
graves of my murdered brothers
and sisters at I.udlow the vic
tims of Rockefeller’s beastly fust.
For these, Mr. Wilson, no mes
sage of condolence and sorrow
went forth from the White
House.
You saved your message of
sobs for one whose blood and
breed have been a curse to man
i kind since the time when the
I
first barbaric chief put chains up
on a slave.
Y ou and your class may mourn
for dead despots Not I.
The Princes of Europe mourn
with you, and the Pope blubbered
his blubbers I turn from you
all, and attain bow my head in
sorrow over the silent dead at
Ludlow.
1 could mourn, for princely par
asites as readily as Christ could
mourn for Herod.
I believe 1 have this* right. 1
think 1 am one of the "people of
; the United States." My great
grandfather had both his legs
j shot oil in the continental Army
j of the devolution. He lies buried
' in the old cemetery, at Main and
I Scotland Road, Orange, N. J.
] He gave liis blood believing that
j he was driving kings and despots
1 otf the face of the earth. He was
ot that ragged, barefoot, suffer
ing army, that awful winter on
the Delaware. He drank in those
immortal words of human hope
. ot libeity and equality that fell
Iroin the lips of Thomas Paine
on the fn-id of Monmouth.
I think this makes me one of
'the people of the United States. ’

So I repeat, Mr, Wilson, count
me out in your sackdoth-and
asfres slobbering stunt for dead
kings.
Some day at the next strike
armed assassins of your class
may again murder men, and even
help'es women of rny class.
I shall save my tears till then,
Mark you I am not boasting
of my blood, I only claim my
right as one of “the people of
the United States,”to refuse to
be included in your message of
condolence t> the royal parasites
of Europe. The Italians and
Greeks that took up arms and
;fought back the Rockefeller hell
hounds at Ludlow n^e as much
my breed as my dead ancestor of
the Revolution.
I do not brag of race or nafivi
jtv. Wherever, in all the world,
the workers are bound in chains
by princes and parasites, there
is my country, and their struggle
to dump the masters off their
backs is my fight. Their agony's
my agony, their hopes are my
hopes. All my tears are tor their
dead and dying. For the kings
i for their masters -I refuse to
i
; mourn.
Count me out. Exchange.
' is not only a joke but lie will
soon be a thing of the past.
While it is true that a great ma
ny of them have aligned them
selves with the Socialist party,
! yet, .some of them are pigheaded
i enough to still believe that sr m<
[ how, some time, capitalism will
j unscramble itself and then they
will amass a fortune.
