CURRENT VERSE.

An Indian Song.
D wanderer in the southern weather,
Our isle awaits US; on each lea
The pea-hens dance; in crimson feather
A parrot Swaying on a tree
RACES at his own image in the enam-
eled sea.
There dreamy Time let's fall his sickle,
And Life the sandals of her neetness,
And sleek young Joy is no more tickle,
And Love is kindly and deceitless,
And all Is over save the murmur and
the sweetness.
There we will moor our lonely ship
And wander ever with woven hands,
Murmuring softly, lip to lip,
Along the grass, along the sands
Murmuring how far away are all
earth's fevcrish lands.
How we alone of mortals are
Hid in the earth's most hidden part,
While grows our love an Indian star.
A meteor Of the burning heart,
One with the waves that softly round
us laugh and dart;
One with the leaves; one with the love
That means and signs a hundred days:
How when we die our shades will rove.
Dropping at eve in coral bays
A vapory football on the oceans sleepy
blaze.
William Butler Yeats.

Blue-grass blade., 1908-10-11

Though not gifted with the flower and
rhetoric of ora,ory, but culling from the
fields of intellectual thought, rich and rare
argument against the popular and orthodox
delusions of the day, the subject of this
sketch has made his name as widely known
on the American continent as that of any
Freethinker during the past and present
century.
Every reader of the Freethought press,
and many others who do not claim 10 be or
Liberal thought, are more or less familiar
with the name of Otto Wettstein, designer
and builder of the handsome and attractive
Free.hought badge, the Ingersoll souvenir
spoon and many other Freethought trinkets
of beauty and value. His contributions to
the Liberal press of the country, whereat
&c has shown marked ability, have won
for him the proud and envious distinction
Of being the Father of Materialism in
America" while his clear and lucid reason
ing has taken all the gods, ghosts and
spooks out of the universe and relegated
them to the realm of fiction and allegory
where they properly belong.
Otto Wettstein was born in Barmen, Ell
berfeld, Prussia, on the 7th day of April,
1888, and is now, therefore, past his seven
tieth year. He came into the world with an
abnormally large head and the physicians
in attendance pronounced dropsical brain,
predicting that the babe could not posi-
bly, live. Other physicians were consulted
by the anxious parents and some of these
held out hopes of life and possible longevity,
provided, the child could be carried up to
his fourteenth year. Our Otto is still
in tie land Of the living, as the orthodox
have well discovered, and with supply of
energy and good health he appears to be
good for some years yet to come before be-
ing called upon to surrender his lease upon
life.
AS a child, young Wettstein was always
awkward and backward. This was appli-
cable to both physical and mental develop
ment. He was 'top-heavy' and this made
him the sport Of his 'aymates until he had
reached his 18th year, when he began to
command their admiration by reason of the
superior mental qualities he now began to
was a prosperous merchant. but failed IN
business in 1S4S and with his wife and fam
lily of six children he emigrated to Mil
waukee, Wisconsin where he soon became
prosperous and popular hotel proprietor.
His father also became the founder of the
Blue-grass blade., 1908-10-11

time. He also wrote for Rochelle and Chi
cago papers and the force of this logic and
argument redeemed his lack of higher ed
ucation. He was now an out spoken, fear
less, aggressive and Incorporating ma
terialist. The editor of the Rochelle Reg
lister, agreeing with Wettstein in his views,
offered him the columns of that paper for
an calculation of those views and Otto took
advantage thereof. He discussed the issues
Of Rationalism with both laymen and
preachers. He succeeded in making both
converts and enemies. Following thei1
usual custom in such cases the Chris ian
people worked boycott upon him with
the evident purpose of breaking him up
and running him in business way They
withdrew their own patronage and urged
others to do likewise Otto realized what
this meant. He refused to retract an inch
OF his ground. He now resolved to fight
1t out and he succeeded in making a partial
recovery for these business losses by turn
ing to the Liberal of America for their
custom. This came, but slow and uncertain.
Protracted hard times set in and Otto failed
in business, lost his store stock and even
his home His two sons came to his rescue
and now he finds himself established in
a snug home, den and office, owned by
them, in the beautiful Chicago suburb OF
La Grangee, within thirty minutes of the
city.
The family of Otto consists of his wife
and their three sons, F. e. Wettstein, OF
Cleveland Ohio; Otto Wettstein, Jr,-a sue
cessful telephone contractor and Bryant
Emerson Wetstein, who will cast his first
vote In November of this year. While still
in the church Otto became Mason and p
an Odd Fellow, to which organizations he
still belongs. His sons are all prosperous
and successful, honored by all who them,
delight to their parents, though Frank,
the eldest has sought in vain to convert
his father to belief in Christ.
In 1888 Otto designed the well known
Freethought badge which is made to repre-
sent the evolution of the world from the
darkness and midnight of superstition to
the light Of science and reason Later came
the Ingcrsol spoon. Both are made by the
best workmen obtainable, of endurable ma
terial and are Of beautiful design.
At the recent Materialist Association con-
vention held at Canal Dover, Ohio. he was
elected by unanimous vote as the President
thereof and he delivered the magnificent
address which the Blade publishes in this
Blue-grass blade., 1908-10-11

Milwaukee Musical Society. Determined
that each of his sons should learn trade
he shipped Otto, at IL years of age to a
friend in Chicago there to learn the jewel
ers art for which the lad got only board
and bed. His education in this profession,
however, was both systematic and thorough
which included the making of every part
of the different kinds of watches then in
vogue, by hand.
In 1856 his period of apprenticeship came
to an end and his employer engaged his
services for another year while he was
touring Europe At the end of that time
a panic came upon the country and Otto
moved to Rochelle ILL.,, in 1857, landing
there with a kit Of tools, a trunk full of
books, his clothing and four dollars which
constituted all his possessions and effects.
board in the front of farmers supply
store furnished him with workbench and
here he plodded faithfully and long until
the panic overwhelmed the storekeeper and
Otto was out on the street again. little
later and he had managed to buy small
building, only 8 feet by ten feet, where he
set up shop on his own account, gradually
adding to his stock of art and fancy goods
and success dawned upon him. He soon
rented the largest store the city of Rochelle
could boast and an era of prosperity was
now at hand.
During his apprenticeship, upon the ur-
gent request of his mother, Otto was con
firmed in the old school Lutheran faith.
Not until after he had reached manhood's
estate did Otto come in contact with any
liberal publication, when a friend placed
in his hands copy of the old Boston inves-
tigator, made famous by Horace Seaver,
J. p Mendum, Ernest Mendum, j.. K Wash
burn and others. Prior to this hour his
mind was almost a blank upon matters of
advanced thought, with no mental develop
ment. The ice was now broken, however,
for an intense desire for knowledge now
took possession of him. He bought books
Works of science and poetry came into his
hands. He worked by day and studied by
night. He wanted to know all that could be
known. He plunged into the natural scien-
ces and finally became sceptical about the
bible stories. He realized that the proven
facts OF science did not harmonize with
gods and ghosts, heavens and bells and that
spirits were impossible in nature. He knew
nothing or little. concerning the rules of
grammar, less ebout mathematics, but with
keen reasoning powers he plunged into the
discussions upon naturalism from time to

The Secretary has told his friends
within the last few days that he alb
solutely had no thought of resigning
or of doing anything else than at
tend to business.
Annoyed by Criticism
Cortelyou has been annoyed, II is
understood, by criticism Of his course
since his late attack OF fitness, in
appearing at social functions regu-
larly, while absenting himself from
his office. The explanation at the
Treasury in reply to this criticism is
that the Secretary has been attend
ing strictly to his own business, but
doing most of his work at home,
where he was secure against inter-
luptions and could accomplish much
more. Then, since the mysterious
visit Of ]. Pierpont Morgan to Wash
ington a few days ago to confer with
Cortelyou, 1t has been reported that
the latter would accept a position
with Morgan financial institution.
The day after the Morgan visit It was
learned that the White House did
not know of the presence of Morgan
in the city until after he had come
and gone, and there was much curl
osity in high Administration circles
as to what was going on.
Many Positions Offered
Further, 1t Is stated that the Sec
rotary has had great number OF
offers of attractive positions In the
last year and has given none of them
consideration.
81 am convinced that the relations
existing between Secretaries OF the
Treasury and Wall Street have been
entirely too close" said Senator

lii, which would prevent the Score
tary of the Treasury from controlling

MANAGERS Of HOTELS
POSTED AS KNOCKERS
Discouraged Tourists
From Taking Trip
To Volcano

That the city's hotels have been
making 1t a practice to dissuade their
guests from taking trips to the other
Islands, notably that to the Volcano,
was the accusation made by Chair
man Fred. l.. Waldron or the Pro-
motion Committee at the meeting OF
that organization yesterday after
noon.
Hotel managers of Honolulu are
dissuading tourists from taking in
ter-island trips" said Waldron. 81
want to bring up this action on the
part of the hotel management of Ho-
nolulu of discouraging the tourist
trips to the Island OF Hawaii. II is
short-sighted policy on their part
and one on which the Promotion
Committee ought to go on record as
opposed to. When tourists come here
in answer to our literature and are
then told that the Volcano trip that
we are advertising is not worth 60
ing to, that there is nothing to see,
anu that the trip is an unpleasant
one, 1t hurts our work and leaves the
tourist in a position where he does
not know whether any of our adver-
Using can be believed or not"
The other members, with the ex-
ception of L. NJ. Brown, who did not
believe that Young personally WELD
ed the hammer, agreed with Wald-
ron, w. T. Lucas saying that he
knew that Manager Childs had tried
to dissuade A. c. Baumgartner from
going to the Volcano. John A. Pal
mer, 1t was said, had been told to
keep out of the hotels and not at
tempt to sell the guests tickets for
the Volcano excursion.
J. A. McCandless moved to send a
letter to Young, asking him what his
policy in regard to the matter was
