TI1K VOICE IX THE WILDERNESS
The voice in the Wilderness— ;
that’s one John C. Havemeycr's And
although it found expression in the !
New York Evening Post, it is not
likely to affect conditions.
He asked and discussed “Is Pre
paredness for War Sensible or Con
sistent with Bible Teaching? “Ana
he answered in the negative.
This is his finality “In conclusion
I will only say that the proposition
presented to the American people
is one which wholly ignores God,
is infidel in its spirit, assumes there
is no eternity to be considered, no
further accountability, no deceitfut
fulness above all things to be re
moved, and no prayer and divine
leadership required”.
Speaking as a completely imparti
al critic of this judgment, it can be
said that Havemeyer is unquestion
ably correct, if those people who
call themselves Christian believed
in Christ and believed in the omni
potence of God, if they believed
that God was all loving, and merci
ful, and all powerful, if they be
lieved that his supreme Justice
would prevent barborous injustice
if they believed in the efficacy ot
prayer and placed their trust in
Gcd then they would readily see
that preparedness in itself is infi
del in spirit. But, the people while
pretending to believe offer only a
lip tervice. There is not now ana
for centuries h ,e been no real faith
either in God or in Christianity. In
stead there is the trust in the om
nipotence of material force—in the
right of might and the skeptic's
sneer that God fights on the side ot
the biggest guns and the largest
battalions.
As a matter of fact this is the
most hypocritical age that the world
has ever faced. The world places
its confidence in big guns and sub
marines and battleships and con
scription and pretends to believe in
the justice, mercy love and omnipo
tence of God.
it’s a poor sort of paganism that
offers sacrifice to estimulate courage
when convictions rre lacking. But
that’s the condition today.
Very clearly if a person is sincere'
in the belief in the Atonement and
in God Almighty o providence, that
person will not give three whoops
tor all the military might in the
world. They will be convinced that
prayer and supplication and indi
vidual virtue will protect them be
fore God and man. That’s the creed
they affect today and that’s the creed
they are taught. But they have
quite other notions. They believe
in munition factories, in compulsory
military service, in big guns and big
ger navies: God and their religious
creed cuts no ice in the mattor at
all.
We dont Know how the religion
ists get around this paradox; but
they do. Not only that but when
victories come through big guns
and shells and asphyxiating gases
and battleships and submarines,
they thank God for his work. Ir
paganism of ancient times had any
thing on this, we have to be shown.
Faith—yea, faith enough in stand
ing armies and powerful artillery.
THE NOME MINE WORKERS
UNION.
Those men who come up yearly
to work in this camp cannot do bet
ter than join the miners' union if it
is their intention to work at mining
for wages. In union there is
strength and what has happened
here every year ought to make a
good number of workers take a
tumble to themselves. They have
found that after working hard all
summer they were paid off at what
the boss liked to pay them and
often were not paid at all. They
found that they got a steady job -all
right but there was no steady pay.
The work in thiB camp Is to be sure
limited, but the benefits from that
| work in the shape of standard
: wages can only be maintained by
the workingmen sticking together
! to maintain it. There is no other
, way.
One can go down Front St. in
1 Nome and get all the work one
! wants, but one can’t go down Front
! St. and get wages. Lots of men
j come in here every year after rais
ing a few hundred dollars from coca
roach butchers and bakers and
candlestick makers, the scrimped up
savings of a few men and women,
and on that small capital hire men.
' They have no money to pay any
*such thing as wages, and they dont
know how to mine ground even It
they did. They make quite a
I splurge and in the fall there are a
1 undred or so wondering where
they are going to get money enough
to get out tut.
| Had those workers acted intelli
gently they would have joined the
Union and there liarned everything
that could be learned about those
whom they were so eager to work.
[They would know what would be
paid or whether they would be
1 paid at all, and in this great mass
organization that would follow from
the ur.ior.’zr ton of sour dough am
, chechaco minor alike better times
! for all would attend.
Those are plain fc.cts worth con
! sidcratiou. The Industrial Worker
I takes the stand that the prosperity
of this camp is wrapped up in the
! wage worker. If he is paid well
and paid all he works in wage3,
; then Nome will have not a trouble
! under tbs son. There 13 no getting
j anyone else but the workers how
, ever to look after their own inter
jests. You can’t expect the boss to
do it, and the boss would be a fool
if he did when the men wouldn’t
think about it themselves. But the
workers by the very simple expedi
ent of joining the miner’s union
[acting together one for all and alt
j for one, can cover the situation
I completely, and effectively, perma
nently and satisfactorily protect
their own interests.
| There is therefore no reason what
ever why the worker who would
protect himself and get the benefit
of the labor organization should fall
to join the miners’ union if he
would work in the mines for wages.
THE OCCULT ATION.
It took more than a steam roller
to suppress T. R. But he has been
eventually suppressed. He cannot
come back and he knows it. Strong
as he may be with the country he
I fell flat before the machine. And
the machine insisted upon rolling
over him with all the ruthlessness
of a juggernaut. From him mayhe
on account of his former greatness,
future leaders may take wise coun
sel; they may consult him as one
of experience and shifty, but not
as the Anal word.
The desperate effort to rehabili
tate himself with the republican
I party is almost tragic in its pathos
| or pathetic In its tragedy. Writers,
publicity agents all have done their
best, but humpty dumpty couldn’t
be put back again with all the kings
horses and all the kings men.
Truly there is a bitter aftermath
in the intoxication of gratified poli
tical ambitions, and it is the lot o»
T. R. to drain that bitter cup to
the dregs.
In vain he rambled the world with
Jove’s thunderbolts in each hand
and a voice of energy shouting the
gospel according to Roosevelt;
others have stolen the thunder and
the gospel is subjected to the ero
sive influence of a higher criticism
according to the machine rule dic
tated by Wall St. Roosevelt find*
that those whom he antagonized in
their political imperialism have
longer memories and more vindic
tive minds than he gave them credit
for.
And such an Inglorious ending.
Those faithful few who stood by
him to the last with a loyalty fret!
ful of opposition and defending
him to the last, watch him haul
down his colors before the onslaught
of the stand pats as one who knows
his master
In all the political history of th 5
countr'/ was there ever a more hu
miliating admission of the power ci
bossism and Wall St. which is be
hind bossism, than the desertion
by Roosevelt of the party he had
created ?
But “yesterday the word of
Caesar might have stood against
the world, now none so poor as bow
to do him reverence”.
AWFUL.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer
views with indignation the demand
of the longshoremen for 55c. an
hour. And that Seattle paper
makes no effort to conceal the view
that frankly that is too much wages
for any worker.
Besides what gets the P-I seems
to be that the strike threatened
the well being of Seattle and freight
was being forwarded by rail to Van
couver for re-shipment. After build
ing up a prosperous shipping, sale
the Seattle organ, here are the long
shoremen sending it away.
It would appear that the Post In
telligencer could offer sound advice
to Seattle Business interests for
whom it writes by suggesting that
they pay the wages and end the
labor trouble.
Moreover, if it were not vain to
offer such a suggestion, the Post
Intelligencer could advocate a gen
eral strike so that the railroad men
and others would refuse to handle
freight being re-shipped to Vancouv
er. In this way they could keep
the freight in Seattle until the
strike was over.
However the strike is over and
while these suggestion.: might not
have been acted upon, it i3 obvious
that they are always open to adop
tion.
