One of the many war corres
pondents who have managed to
write something about the great
war in Kurope, opines that the reli
gious revival is a marked character
istic of the armies and in proof of,
this cites the fact that the songs
which are now sung by the British
for example, are taking on a more
solemn nature and Hymns are pre
ferred to “It’s a hong Way to Tip
perary”.
Hut that is no criterion. We dont
think that you can glean the real
emotions or the real sentiments of
a man or a set of men by the songs
they r.ing or attempt to sing.
We have enlarged upon the fact
already that sailors seldom sing ot
the life on the ocean wave and a
chanty will more often than not re
fer to some romantic experiom e
ashore than be founded upon life
aboard the ship. The JI ii«‘ of Am
sterdam or the dame of !m li'fe
Highway who “was round in the
counter and bluff in the bow i
more likely to afford the saiiornnri
who is a sailor, subject for song !
than the beauty of the rolling deep
which so impresses the land lubbers
with a bent for poesy.
And the sailor sings hymns only
after the female and saloon attrac
tions have stranded him high and
dry in some crimp’s hoarding house,
and ho seeks solace for his woes in
some Bethel where his voice is loud
indeed asserting the otherwise not
quite obvious fact that he has been
washed in the blood of the Lamb.
So by analogy, we conclude that
the melancholy days that attend the
hymn singers in the war zone are
due not to any sudden acquisition
of religious faith, but rather to the
tact that the soldiers are up against
it good and hard and they know it,
ami give way to emotionalism.
Men sing to keep up their hearts
and that is why the song at labor
betokens coolie toil. It is a sort ot
anodyne for their painful work, and
indeed when the outlook is gloomy
and the pumps are manned on board
some hooker roundng the Horn, it
may hearten a few to hear a fine
voice break the wind with a glorious
strain like Shenadoah.
There is a certain amount ot
anxious strain and uncertainty upon
the men at the front. In this condi
tion their nerves are a-tingle and
they will easily admit themselves
subject to any emotion that may
suggest itself. Religious emotion is
one that easily obtains a hold and
affords a nervous stimulus in this
■condition, and it is likely that it has
now a powerful innings. But under
these circumstances also, it is al
most certain that such religious
emotion is only an emotion, and is
therefore as ephemeral as the pe
culiar environment which called it
forth.
All men in their flights of song
are not given to the playful irony
of the chanty man in his desperate
plight on board some blood ship,
who raises the weird cry as they
furl fore and main courses:
“We’ll drink
Aye,
Brandy and gin,
Aye;
And pay Paddy Doyle for his boots.”
“Onward Christian Soldiers” as a
substitute for "Tipperary” may also
be inspired by the same desperation
of purpose and hopelessness of out
look.
HPRECKIiKS AN1) THE PATRIOT.
When the bomb explosion took
place in Frisco and the Prepared
ness parade so suffered, one of the
preparedness leaders charged
Spreckels with responsibility. This
elicited the following vigorous retort
that certainly must have gone
straight home:
“I am certain that all law-abiding
citizens of San Francisco deplore
and condemn t lie outrage perpe
trated by the fiend of fiends who
made and set the bomb which killed
and maimed men, women and child
ren during tlie preparedness parade
on Saturday. My heartfelt sympa
thy for the victims and their fa
milies and friends is deep and
sincere. Mere w'ords cannot express
my condemnation of the outrageous
crime committed.
Because I abhor this crime so
strongly I am not disposed to re
main silent before the remarkable
accusations which have been made
public in Mr. Hearst’s Examiner. In
yesterday’s issue of that paper ap
peared an interview with the grand
marshal of the preparedness parade
in which that distinguished repre
sentative of a corporation which de
bauched our municipal government
is represented as saying: “I attri
bute the crime to the incendiary
work done by one of our most pro
minent citizens at the mass meeting
held Thursday night to protest
against the preparedness parade.”
I presided at the mass meeting on
Thursday evening to which he re
ferred. 1 challenge the statement
of Thorn well Mullally as wilfully
malicious and false, but in keeping
with the record and life of the man
who made it. I have for many
years treated Mr. Mullally and his
kind with the silent contempt they
deserve, but his assurance in at
tempting to place the odium of the
work of assassins upon me and the
citizens who attended the mass
meeting which met to protest
against war, militarism and the pre
paredness parade compels me to
remind the people of San Fran
cisco of some very black municipal
history with which his activities are
associated.
Several years have passed since
the graft prosecutions ended.
Afhong the public service corpora
tions involved in the bribing of pub
lic ollicials the United Hal!way was
the most prominent, and Mr.
Mullally, one of its employes was
indicted.
A point had then been reached
in which the only hope of cleaning
up San Francisco and ridding it of
its corrupt rulers lay in the testi
mony of one witness. Mr. Mullal'y
did not take a serious view of the
dynamite outrage which wrecked
the home of this witness and but
for a miracle would have taken the
lives of innocent men, women and
children and for which the poor
duped tool who exploded the bomb
is now serving life sentence in San
Quentin. Apparently Mr. Mullally
thought those happenings had been
forgotten.
The shooting of Mr. Heney while
performing his sworn duty as a dep
uty district attorney during the trial
of a graft defendant was another
outrage which occurred during this
interesting period of Mr. Mullally’s
life. I do not recall that he went
out of his way to de
nounce that outrage. I can
not think of any previous out
rage or injustice that Mr. Mullally
has taken the -trouble to denounce
and I can think ot many in which
he went to the other extreme.
It is an insult to decent, law
abiding citizens of San Francisco
to have this employe of the United
Railways so brazenly pose as a pa
triot and defender of the law. 1
face the people of San Francisco
feeling sure that those who are
honest and informed do not doubt
my loyalty to law and order with
strict justice for all.—S. F. Bul
letin.”
