LAW!

Editor The Washington Herald:
The Azsyuan came down Ike a wolf en- the fold
And ms cohorts were cleaning with purple and gold
and The sheen Of his spears like stars on the sea
Where blue waves roll nightly on deep GaIilee.
Like leaves Of the forest when summer is green
That host with their banners at sunset were seen;
Lilac leaves Of the forest when autumn hath blown
hat host on the morrow layu Withered and strewn.
lor the Angel OF Death spread his wings on the
blast
And breathed in the face Of the foe as he passed.
ifhe Death Angel had been drinking liberty
through Milwaukee beer)
And there lay the steed with his uostril all wide.
But through It there rolled not the breath Of hia
pride.
Aud there las the rider distorted and pale
With the dew on his brow and the rust on his mail
Lord Byron was one of the best peace
poets. His "Chnde Harold" is more in
teresting in its fearless exposition Of
wars infamy and idiocy than any mod
ern Tehash. He meant what he said and
he knew how to say it. Goethe. too. was
constantly teaching, in his own way, the
folly and the mischief Of war. Wish his
proud reserve, he gave no moral disser-
tauon against it, but he moved out of
it's way, lived in a realm above and be-
yond it. and held his literature aloof
from It's blare.
1t does not seem TO me that peace peo-
pie who are such have anything 10 do
with this Englishman, Mr.. Stead. who
is over here teaching a "cut-throat' gos-
pei. He says he don't believe war
should be abolished. nor that one ought
never to cut a brothers throat" Peace
TFagnia hal5arra D.. H.
ished. and also that We should never cut
brothers throat.
The whole land once was blabbing
about how 10 resume specie payment.
when some one said: THE way to re-
sumo specie payment is to resume" Back
upon his launches went Balaams ass,
and the gods of action resumed.
Stead says; 'No one is to be allowed
NJ the New York meeting TO talk dis
armament-only reduction of arms" At
least SO he is quoted. and the company
he keeps vOuches for his words. This is
supposed 10 be a land Of free speech,
and II peace meeting suppresses the
mountain torrent with a commercial dam
for Carnegie and Gould, &c, il is no
peace meeting at all. Voting in Beech
er's church TO pay Helen Goulds ex-
penses 10 The Hague is rather absurd,
even as a humbug. No doubt she viii
accept the payment Of her fare from the
sacrifices Of the people. Who ever knew
millionaire to refuse money? 1t is his
gcd.
But the GOulds and other transporta-
ton people make war I'm order TO make
money, and The Hague will be hog in
uced if such are the peace advocates
there Mr. Stead has condensed and told
in advance what Will be said there, and
there's no Use Of Intelligence wasting
time on it. Go back. instead, to the
Cars rescript, where ne asked for the
disarmament Of the world. and was
hooted at rs dishonest. Wars are pre-
pared for by business men in advance. 10
make money. and for no other reason.
J1st exactly as the Vultures gather
T1}.pd and drink the blood in the fair
Potomac from the slaughter-hOuse.
Wealth plans and executes the murder of
young men. who ought 10 be at work ON
The land and otherwise. When Carnegie
tells worllmen that strikes are not for
more money. but for recognition" he
says what is not true Who cares for
recognition? There is but one proper an
sWCr to such trash. That answer was
made long ago, and is classic: Thou
fool This night shall thy soul be re-
quiced of thee"
II greedy business men would go into
their closets and shut the door. and
there pray daily, they would begin to
have hope of immortality. No soul is
saved where none exists. \ man who
leaves all he has behind him at death,
takes nothing with him. That's the end
of him
Free love. free divorce, free whisky.
are trinity ruinous to the race. The
universe has walls which must be re-
spected." Even a skunk-cabbage eudogen
leading men by the nose through Thaw
trials and Pitsburg corruption, which
Carnegie gifts have not saved, viii be
foand true 10 the law OF its own being.
] believe in ii creed, and that creed 10y
atty to perfect law.
