ON JOHN BROWN, THE
MARTYR.
By King Jefferson.


To save a long indicted earth,
The congregations, heaven bound,
Sent up a shudder and a sound
That shook elysium on high
Like thunder from a stormy sky.
The angels in their soft places
The sad excitement did repent
And tucked their alabastered faces
In mist confused and garments rent
While all the saints In Paradise
Were speechless with a yelled sur
! prise.
Reused from their beds
The minor gods
| In awe-struck mods
Hung low their heads,
In terror there would not be found
A being brave enough and sound
To wipe away
The mortal sin
Whose origin
The Scriptures say
Its neuctus grew (as we believed
When Adam seized the fruit from
Eve.
Gabriel adept -
With cerubs wept
Till Heavens pedestals were swept
By tears that from their oceans crept
While winged shadows tortured slept
An era sore,
When Gods own son,
A princely one,
Swung wide the door
or Paradise without a fee
To die that man commuted be.
And in his royal right denied
With criminals be crucifed.
The upper Bethels toIled their bells
In terror Of the under bells.
The Old and New Jerusalem
Swayed like two leaflets on the stem,
And mercy's messengers did fret
AS justice read its awful threat.
The Kingdom-Come
Had fits forum
Rent to a pandimonium
Midst gsuzy spirits futtering,
Lightning and thunder mutterfng,
Emboldenid demons utterfng
Chaotic chords
That stir'd the wards
OF TORRENTS lower lords Of lords.
The Prince Of Peace
Was being sent
To smoothe the crease
OF government
And WELD the law, the stan and rod
VI Is'raTs universal God.
But none Of these,
Nor none Of this
In things went miss
Nor changed degrees,
When lonely as a bark at sea
Which bears new tidings to the lea
Back in q town
Stalwart John Brown,
The giant strong,
And foe 10 wrong,
From natures genus did ascend
The weary bondman to defend.
Hades nor Heaven were not changed,
Nor was this earthly cradle rock'd.
Nor did mems reasons grow deranged
Such as sequel a sudden shock.
But all was noisless as the grave
Or ripple Of q peaceful wave.
A nation in tranquility.
Composed Of staunch virility,
Moved on in democratic style
To destiny and fate. Meanwhile
A type Of man
Was being sent
The freeman's plan,
To represent.
Who, shorn Of love and beauty's
grace,
Would shake the shaehles from a race
Or die for glory Of q theme
And play q martyrs roll supreme
An honest man
From joint to joint
American
From every point.
Destined 10 answer to the can
u freedoms cause and for Il faII.
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1909-12-25

For such a man.
And still deaths span
Nursed lesser fears.
Who but a steel'd intrepid brave
Would pawn his life to free a slave
Yet If a creed and its enticings
Truly savors Of our trying,
Matters not the sacrihcings.
It is worthy Of our dying.
And calumny, inglorious,
Has never dim'd nor even moved
A conquest so victorious
As Harper Ferry's chief has proved
His primest Joy
Was 70 destroy
An institution wholly built
On human blood and human guilt,
And score a nation-nursed outrage
Which robbed men OF that heritage
Humanity so largely needs
And which the voice Of freedom
deeds
Though fame and fortune failed to
bless
The tenets Of his sect and day.
The world in fits awakefulness,
Drenched with the blood Of civil wal
, Is doubly willing now TO pay
Him homage OF a conqueror,
And rest a reath upon his shrine
Which ages through shall glow and
shine.
/ Traditions may a wrong concrete.
And for a long time right defeat;
But there's no coup. however stout,
Can keep the truth from working out.
The truth can shock
The hardest rock
And burst from out
A steel redout
Or granite walls however strong
When based on mortal sin and wrong;
For Gods themselves will set their
seals
Where mankind righteously appeals.
The sun can parch the verdest sod,
Magnetic tones mellow hearts most
hard,
But what a hero can't discard?
The answer fleets a-hastening:
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Death in disgrace
By civic code
Connot deface
Nor discommode
The hero in his chiseled road,
Nor bend his fearless flaming rod
The hero is a man Of God.
No passive mock'ry dehes
A principle profound.
And while John Browns cadaver lies
Decaying in the ground
His soul goes marching, marching on
Increasingly to clearer skies
And more efulgent dawn
John Browns brave deed
Shall survive
Fresh and live
After Judgment IL decreed.
The Afro-Freeman may extol
The herald who. through blood and
strife,
Did sacrifice his own rare soul
To clothe him with a nobler life.
Who strove to soothe q nation sting
Implanted In the meek and poor.
The martyrs symphony shall ring
Emboldenly forevermore.
And so John Brown
OF world renown
Shall prove in worth a fang that
sttngs
The pride Of emperors and kings.
Our eulogiums shall ever cloy
Round Douglass. Sumner and LoVe5oy,
Phillips and Garrison also
In panegeric bloom shall grow;
But none comprising in the lists

Shall there surpass. eclipse nor drown

The first as well as the most remark

undertaken by the United States rec
lamation service under terms Of the
Carey irrigation act is the Gunnison
tunnel, which carries the turbulent
waters Of the lower Gunnison river by
a bore II by IS feet through six miles
OF solid mountains. The work was
started several years ago. following
a survey Of the river by courageous
engineer who made the trip down the
raging stream on a rubber raft. But
many months preceding were con-
sumed in building wagon road
on which necessary machinery aud
supplies could be transported to the
scene Of the work. In constructing
the tunnel through the mountains
variety of rock and earth formations
was encountered, besides natural gas.

lakes. The tunnel Is lined throughout
with cement and Is practically indie
structible The main canal which re-
ceives the water from the tunnel, Ii
thirty feet wide at the bottom. eighty
three feet wide at the top. and the
average depth OF water Is ten feet,
the capacity being 1900 cubic feet OF
water per second The tunnel was
formally opened Sept. % at Montrose,
Colo. on the occasion Of President
Tafts visit. The cost Of the tunnel
and distributing canals viii be $1,000

is IT CRAFTY

A leading northern agricultural jour
hal speaks in sarcastic vein Of the
benefits conferred by the Gunnison
tunnel because 100000 acres of the
land to be watered belong to private
parties and will be worth from $75 to
$500 per acre as soon as the water is
turned on, belittles the pride which
government officials feel In the COM
petion Of the tunnel and closes with:
Talk about graft but what's the usef
II Is loves labor lost to paint the lily"
The discerning reader will likely say
that this graft graft it isis not
essentially different from that perpe-
trated when the government sold land
fifty or sixty years ago for S1.25 an
acre which has benefited individual
proprietors to the tune of 500 an acre.
