THE WIDE WORLDS NEED
By A. N. RAVEN

By A. N. RAVEN
The wide, wide world has need of love,
And love whose grounds are true,
Love that shall ease the aching heart
And fainting hope renew;
Love that shall wipe away all tears
And purge the heart of hellish fears;
They say that on the throne above
There is a God of power, God of love.
Why should gaunt famine walk the
land?
Why little children suffer torments
of the damned?
Why pestilence in hideous mean.
With weapons cruel and unseen
Stay countless thousands near and far,
Producing havoc worse than war,
If there be on the throne above
A God of power, God of love?
There is no love in natures round;
We force our substance from hostile
ground;
Briers and weeds infest mans way,
He has to fight to gain the sway
Ger elements tempestuous, wild,
That know no love for sinner saint or
child
Why, if there be in heaven above
A God of power, a God of love?
In vain we look for love in man,
Self rules the world When we Gods
image" scan
We find beast of prey. Men race
for gold,
In-gotten gains they store and thus
withhold
From man the products of his life
And make the world a scene of end
| less strife.
| Why, If there be in heaven above
A God of power. God of love?
| All. pirate no more of love at hand,
But give us solid ground on which t
stand,
Point to some facts that may be see
To prove the love you preach an
thus redeem
The hungry heart from dark despair
!. Answer its yearning. pleading praye
And prove to us there is above
A God of power, God OF love.

Granny Hillyer, fresh from the ser

out by a gubernatorial appointment

"A verdict obtained under such cir

SHIPS THAT SINK
IN THE RIVER

Fifteen hundred odd lives Is the toll
paid in Chicago on Saturday to the
profit system. Human lives, not the
lives of hogs and steers, though all
usually pay tribute to that revered In
stitution.
A steamship in the Chicago river,
where it runs through the center OF
the city and is perhaps three hundred
feet wide, snaps her mornings, drifts
out some fifty feet or so from the
wharf, and promptly turns turtle
drowning the bulk Of her monstrous
overload of human freight.
Perfectly natural, too. Nothing In
the least surprising about ito those
who know, though it may astonish
those who don't. But only for

STATE COURTS NOT AGREED

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Contrary
views of state courts on the validity
of social legislation is shown in a bull
letn (No. 169) just issued by the fed
eral bureau of labor statistics.
In considering occupational diseases
for instance, the Massachusetts courts
hold lead poisoning to be within the
state act, providing for compensation
for personal injuries arising out of
and in the course of employment"
while the Michigan courts, under the
provisions of a state law similarly
expressed, hold that case of lead poi
soning is not entitled to compensation.
In Massachusetts inflammation of
an eye, caused by inhaling poisonous
gases, was held to come under the
compensation act, while in New Jer-
sey the court disallowed a claim on
account of eczema said to be caused
by acids used in a bleachery.

REGULATING FREE SPEECH

SAN FRANCISCO.-Under the cap

this editorial:
zone most valuable contribution to
the subject of free speech comes from

university, who says: Convictions
must be more than honest; they must
be correct
This disposes of the whole diff
Guilty of free speech, whether it be
free speech for workingmen in COM

through Chancellor Day and other

what opinions are correct, and then
suppress those that are incorrect.
What comfort to end arguments by

spirit ROusers
BY CHARLES PERRY TAYLOR
Secy. Washington State Federation
of Labor.

What difference will 1t make
A hundred years from now
Whether you
Had a million or nothing at all?
But it will make lot of difference
To posterity
Whether you were a man of honor
Or scoundrel,
straightforward or a sneak.
1t makes a difference even now.
I've been in Everett
A week or more,
Rousing unionists to action.
The combination of enemies of labor
That tried last spring
To kill off union labor
Has found that unionism
Refuses to die.
We're going to have a revival;
We're going to educate the ignorant
And prejudiced
So they will appreciate
The good that labor unions do.
We're going to celebrate Labor Day
To beat the band
Kill unionism in Everett?
One might as well try
To cork Vesuvius.
What we want now Is union men
So proud of their membership
They don't care fig
Who knows it.
Men who attend meetings regularly;
Men who insist on the union label;
Men who do not want war;
Men who want peace, and propose to
have it
If they have to fight for it;
Men who want work, not slavery;
Men worth while.
81 am for men," said Henry George.
So are we.
Union men are men.
Scabs are neither fish, flesh nor fowl,
Nor even good red herring.
Let Roosevelt rage for war;
Let Bryan pray for peace;
But Everett will stick to her unions
Till hell freezes.
Can anybody beat that spirit?
Go thou and do likewise.
