SONS OH MARTHA.
Did you ever read that ironical
masterpiece by Kipling on the work
ers, called according to the legend
The Sons of Martha? How com
pletely the workers and the inter
ests of the workers are eclipsed in
this coining election by the "super
ior” interest of those who have,
“The Sons of Mary”, is only to be
explained by some such mysticism
which reveals how completely the
workers can take the burdens- of
those who employ them and make
them and their employers interests
their own. Isn't it worth while
when the workers are shouting
their heads off for others than those
who will identify themselves witu
the toilers, to re-print this poem ,
which is undoubtedly one of Kip
ling’s tinest, if, especially for the
workers, his bitterest, effort?
I
SONS OH MARTHA.
Kudyard Kipling.
The Sons of Mary seldom bother, for
they have inherited that good
part
But the Sons of Martha favor their
mother of the careful soul and
the troubled heart;
And because she lost her temper
once, and because she was rude
to the Lord her Guest,
Her Sons must wait upon Maiy’s
Sons—world without end, re
prieve or rest.
It is their care in all the ages to
take the buffet and cushion the
shock;
It is their care that the gear en
gages; it is their care that the
switches lock;
It is their care that the wheels run
truly; it is their care to embark
and entrain,
Tally, transport, and deliver duly
the Sons of Mary by land and j
main.
They say to the mountains, “Be ye
removed!” They say to the less
er floods, "Run dry!”
Under their rods are the rocks re
proved— they are not afraid of
that which is high.
Then do all the hilltops shake to
the summit; then is the bed of
the deep laid bare,
That the Sons of Mary may over
come it, pleasantly sleeping and
unaware.
They finger Death at their glove s
end when they piece and repiece
the living wires;
Death rears against the gates they
tend; they feed him hugry be
hind their fires.
Early at dawn before men see clear
they stumble into his terrible
stall,
And hale him forth like a haltered
steer, and goad and turn him
till evenfall.
To these from birth is Belief forbid
den; for these till deatli is re
lief afar—
They are concerned with matters
hidden—under the earth-line
their altars are.
The secret fountains to follow up,
waters withdrawn to restore to
the mouth—
Yea, and gather the floods as in a
cup, and pour them again at a
city's drouth.
They do not preach that their God
will rouse them a little before
the nuts work loose;
They do not teach that His pity*al
lows them to leave their work
whenever they choose.
As in the thronged and the lighten
ed ways, so in the dark and the
desert they stand.
Many and watchful all their days,
that their brethren's days may
be long in the land.
Lift ye the stone, or cleave the wood
to make a path more fair ot
flat—
Lo! it is black already with blood
some Sons of Martha spilled for
that;
Not as a ladder trom Earth U
Heaven, not as an altar to any
creed.
But simple service simply given to
his own kind in their common
need.
And the Sons of Mary smile and are
blessed—they know the angels
are on their side,
They know in them is the Grace
confessed, and for them are the
Mercies multiplied.
They, sit at the Feet and hear the
Word — they know how truly
the promise runs.
They have cast their .burden upor
the Lord, and — the Lord He
lays it on Martha's Sons.
POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
The Industrial Worker carries a
number of advertisements by candi
dates for the several positions which
will he voted upon at the election
next .Tuesday, It might be well to
indicate that the presence of such
advertisements in this paper does
not signify that any or all of them
are endorsed by the Industrial
Worker for the several position!
which they seek.
That is not the case. The Industrial
al Worker is the organ of Local
240 of the Western Federation of
Miners and unless a candidate has
the endorsement of that body, he
cannot have the support of this
paper.
The matter should be quite clear
that the presence of this advertising
(toes not influence in the least the
editorial policy of the paper. It
will not prevent opposition if some
of them are to be opposed and it
will not in any way secure support
for any under any circumstances.
In this election, therefore, it is
a fair field and no favor as far as
this paper is concerned. That it will
greatly affect the workers who goes
to Juneau and who gets in their fine
worn on me legislative umi is iui
the most part immaterial. Until
the system is changed, our advocacj
will be for the supreme important
of the economic organization, first
last and all the time. The politicians
seek through the colunms of this
paper to acquaint the general pub
lic of their desire for election and ol
their candidature. That some arc
pre-eminently unfit for that positior
we have not the slightest doubt ir
the world, but like taking a bac
medicine, Alaskans dont knov
whether it will kill or cure unti
after it is taken.
Unqualifiedly the Industrial Work
er stands for the general eight houi
day. That is the supreme need o
the hour: a shorter work day. Yoi
cannot make any suggestion as t<
legislation which would meet witl
fuller approval or less opposing ar
gument. The shorter work daj
stands for the real betterment o:
the workers: it fits them for th<
struggle for complete emancipation
It secures them more leisure and i
enables them to face the struggh
with greater determination to com
plete a conquest of the social forces
for their own industrial freedom
Yet, even this, depends for its ulti
mate success upon a strong, com
pact, united, single-purposed unior
to effect its best results or even tc
effect any results and it is upon th«
economic power of the workers tha!
we must unshakingly depend for tht
ultimate enforcement of labor de
mands on any field whatsoever.
All else is but dallying with in
efficiency and whatever vitality w<
may endow political action with, il
should never remove our purpose
from the determination to strive
upon the economic field for Labor’s
victory.
