THE FLOWER THAT. is THE
EMBLEM OF MEMS COURAGE
BY JANE whitaker


Did you ever walk along railroad
track where the ground beside the
roadbed was unfertilized, useless be-
cause it was merely an adjunct to the
land upon which railroad magnates
had placed ties and rails in the in
terest of commercial wealth, surplus
land that was made surplus by the
very railroad magnates themselves,
and yet they dared not destroy be-
cause its destruction would weaken
their roadbed?
And have you ever discovered on
that unfertilized, cinder-scorched
strip of land a yellow flower, hardy,
almost deathless, growing regardless
of the impoverished condition of the
soil, fed only by the mamma tossed to
it from the clouds?
And have you ever thought, as you
looked at the flower, the dandelion,
the lowlest of all flowers, that its
yellowness so like gold was an em-
blem of natures courage?
l have often thought of that, and
sometimes l have questioned why the
UduuS1Ou WdS oO pei SloCCuC, oO uSIOI-
mined to grow? Sometimes l have
marvelled that it did not grow dis
couraged and shrivel up and die?
And l have never answered the
question, but always have loved the
dandelion because it is the emblem
of natures courage.
West in Sacramento, East in New
York and right here in Chicago, is
barren land, unfertilized, impover-
ished. 1t is the surplus of labor,
made the surplus by the system
which has picked the cream of labor
for it's roadbed and yet dare not en-
tirely destroy the surplus lest its de-
struction should weaken the cream of
labor that is now utilized by the "sys-
tenn"
And, as sometimes the useless land
adjoining the roadbed grows hot with
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-03-19

the System" becomes afraid, and it
sprinkles the surplus with charity"
but never does it fertilize the land and
never does it try to make it strong.
Instead the system" resorts to
charity only when it grows too much
afraid. Until it is thoroughly fear
stricken that it may be harmed, it
uses contemptuous methods toward
the surplus.
In Sacramento the system" that
made the surplus treated the surplus
like a nest of rats that should be
drowned, and ordered the hose to be
turned upon foot-sore, weary men
who asked only the right to work and
live.
And in New York city, where the
natives boast of their progression
and contend that there is no other
place that equals their town, men
were arrested who had sought shelter
in an edifice erected for worship of
the God who had given them life.
And in Chicago, when the surplus
marched down toward the City Hall
where is administered the laws made
alike for the System" and the sur
plus, mounted police rode into their
ranks and forced them back.
But ever in that soil, unfertilized,
there grows yellow flower, hardy,
almost deathless, growing regardless
of the impoverished condition of the
soil, a flower whose yellow is the yell
low of gold, and it is the emblem of
mems courage.
