Friday afternoon DEBORAH High
School Ease ball team registered a
decisive victory over Waukon. The
weather was perfect for base ball
and those who were so fortunate as
to attend saw game well worth
the price of admission.
The pitching honors were about

getting eleven strikeouts and Marsh
the local pitcher, ten. The hitting
and all around good work of Weiser,
Decorah's short stop featured the
game. Weiser had a perfect day at
bat, getting five hits out of as many
times up-a triple, double, and
three singles. Besides the five runs
that he registered on his own &C
count he was responsible for most of
the others through his timely hit
ting.
The visitors were never very
dangerous and really earned only
two runs the others being handed to
them by Marsh who in a temporary
spasm OF generosity hit two batters
when the bases were full.
If the weather permits there will
probably be several other games stag
ed on the local grounds this fall ana

misunderstood

A great deal of objection has been
heard to an expression that has been
born of economic conditions. That
expression is "Hallelujah, I'm bum, "
sung in derision and with contempt
by I.W.W. nomads At the time of
the birth of this song, without doubt
there was not the dialectic nor even
the metaphysical method of reasoning
employed. 1t was the result of a
happy thought born in the brain OF a
so-called bum" A happy thought,
because the song has taken hold. 1t
has meaning now. 1t is the cry of
the disfranchised, accepting the fact
of his disfranchisement and glorying
his newly awakened consciousness of
it and rising hope for the day when
bum" though he is, he will take what
is his own. I'VE say we are buns
because you say we are buns, and the
reason you say we are buns is be
cause you won't give us job We
will get a job some day and We'll get
that job to keep it, because we will
take control of all jobs and of the
product as well as the job. Mean
while we will rejoice in singing Hal
leuiah, I'm a bum.

American citizens. Our honor has
been insulted' This cry was in re-
ligious newspapers, in Christian pull
pits, to say nothing of the mouths
of mobs and demagogues. But you
can have no lasting peace until you
can get nations which will act like
Christian gentlemen when affronted.
Perhaps the greatest lesson of mod
Wrong; wen have peace just as soon
as the workers are too intelligent to
do the fighting for the shirkers.-Ed)
ern history has just been taught us
in this regard when the president of
the United States by acting toward
Germany with reason, goodwill and
forbearance, has won the greatest vic
tory of the present war. 1t is a much
greater victory to convert a man than
to kill him.
1--WE are forever singing hymns
about the meek and lowly and these
are the qualities which the church
has demanded in it's saints, but we
call the same qualities in nation
weak and pusillanimous. We call that
nation great which is mighty, over
whelming, imperial, irresistible in its
brute strength, which, by force of
arms, can conquer, subjugate, force
other peoples to serve it."
Weakness, and lowliness, are vir-
tues only in the wage or chattel slave
element. For the master-class, the
opposite qualities are virtue; strong
men are good men," But a rebel
working man is IAN undesirable citi-

PASSING OF AN ANCIENT
BOGEY-B00

Being a "jail-bird" is no longer a
disgrace. 1t is more often an honor
conferred upon fighters in the cause
of labor. In the past we have done
everything in our power to stay out
of Jail. because the Jail was the fetish
of fear that the capitalist class and
capitalist society inherited from its
predecessors. Even as children the
bogey-boo cop, or gendarme, plays his
part in our little lives. Always we
are in fear of the Jail, and, be it not
ed. the capitalists will spend millions
to stay out of Jail. But here is a stu
alton where workingmen are actually
destroying the fetch Jail by rushing
fearlessIy, even proudly, into it.
Strange psychology! peculiar psychol
ogy! a Psychology that forebodes and
foretells the day that is to be. But
when it comes right down to it, going
to jail is much easier and much safer
than going into a mine, and the rebel
workers propose to teach this lesson.
1t is lesson that needs to be taught
and when it is taught-ours is the
morrow
