SHOULD OBSERVE THE DAY
(By William Diamond)

One year ago just one short year
twenty defense.ess lnen, women and
children gave up their lives on the
plains OF Ludlow, martyrs to a just
and holy cause Thirteen little limo
cent children were numbered with the
slain that eyer-tobe-forgotten day.
The hired mercenaries that swept
into eternity those twenty detenseless
human beings before their time, we're
applauded by their masters for the
murders while their hands were
red with the life's blood of thase little
innocents, were receiving pay from
the coal companies and were clothed
in the livery of the state and given
discretionary power by the comstitut-
ed authorities of the state and county
to do just what they had done. They
separately or in combination cannot
evade the responsibility of the slaugh-
ter at Ludlow April 90, 1914
And we are taught, "All men are
equal before the law"
The prostituted state militia ably
prepared the way for the slaughter
Of innocents' for weeks in advance
Of the massacre. They took precious
good care to keep the strikers of Lud-
low tent colony disaImed and their
tented homes defcnse.ess, thereby
making them easy prey for the un-

At the outbreak Of the European
war when children of tender age were
placed on guard duty and utilized as
Messengers, we called the attention
Of parents to the fact that, as far as
danger was concerned, such duty was
no less hazardous than service at the
'front.', Again, it was insisted that
such duty was not really part of
active warfare. Tens of thousands of
10y Scouts are, today, doing active

You first gave him a gum know

But it trained his baby fingers for

Don't give your boy a toy-gun for a

Hide away the schreeching fife that
whistles for your life.
Burn the drum and throw the

Twas you who gave the box of

That showed in gaudy tints the SOL

You thrilled his baby-mind with

That tinselrs lie which is the soul
of strife.
