HUGO GERLOT

Above is photo of the body of
Hugo Gerlot, aged %, an inoffensive
sailor lad who was singing Hold the
Fort" when he fell on the deck of the
death ship.
He was shot twice through the
head, in both arms, in the hip and in
the leg by the heavily armed am
pushed deputies. Though mortally
wounded he raised himself and tried
to continue the song, but fell back
dead.
Was he not a martyr for free
speech?
Contrast his death with the pub
lished story Of the alleged deputy on
the dock, who when wounded raised
himself on his arm to continue the
murderous fire into the struggling
mass Of humanity on the Verona
which was backing away from the
| city where constitutional rights have
been disregarded so long.

THREE MEMBERS KILLED
AT EVERETT BURIED

Without the services of a minister
Felix Baran, Hugo Gerlot and John
Tooney, three members of that or
ganization who were killed aboard the
steamer Verona on November s, were
buried at Mount Pleasant cemetery
Saturday afternoon.
The services were conducted by the
officials of the Seattle branch of the
/. w. w. and consisted of a funeral
cortege from the mortuary parlors of
the Home Undertaking company, 9th
avenue and Union street, Seattle,
where 468 marching members of the
organization formed parade and &C
companied the three automobile
hearses bearing the bodies of the de-
ceased members.
Lecturer Conducts Service
Headed by Dewey's band, employed
by the organization for the occasion,
the cortege moved west on Union
street to Second avenue, thence to
Pine street and to First avenue, which
latter thoroughfare was followed to
Queen Anne avenue and Mercer street
where street cars conveyed the
marchers to the cemetery. At the
side of the grave Charles Ashleigh
lecturer of the Seattle branch of the
organization, spoke briefly as the
bodies were being consigned to the
three graves, side by side.
No Demonstration
No demonstration marked either
the funeral procession or the simple
ceremonial at the graves. Each
marcher in the parade wore red car
nation OF d red rose Ia his buttOnhole
and as the earth was filled over the
coffins each man filed past and toss
ed his floral offering on the graves
Several set pieces, three from differ
ent trades unions and one from the
l. WV. organization, were placed on
the interment plot.

A PROPHECY
Written During the Revolutionary
War by Thomas jefferson

The spirit of the times may alter,
will alter. Our rulers will become cor
rupt, our people careless. A single
zealot may become prosecutor, and
better men his victims. 1t can never
be too often repeated that the time
for fixing essential right, on a legal
basis, is while our rulers are honest,
ourselves united. FROM THE CON-
CLUSION OF THIS WAR WE
SHALL BE GOING DOWN HILL. 1t
will not then be necessary to resort
every moment to the people for sup
port. They will be forgotten, there
fore, and their rights disregarded.
They will forget themselves in the
sole faculty of making money, and
will never think of uniting to effect
a due respect for their rights. The
shackles, therefore, which shall not
be Knocked off at the conclusion of
this war, will be heavier and heavier,
till our rights shall revive or expire
in a convulsion.

MORE OF OUR DEAD IN FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Death Toll Demanded in Struggle for Emancipation from Wage Slavery
LIBERTY
By Walt Whitman

Those corpses of Young men,
Those martyrs that hang from the
gibbets-those hearts pierved
by gray lead,
Cold and motionless as they seem,
live elsewhere with unslaugh-
tered vitality.
They live in other young men, o
kings!
They live again in brothers ready to
defy you!
They were purified by death-they
were taught and exalted.
Not grave of the murdered for free
dom, but grows seed for free
dom, in its turn to bear seed,
Which the winds carry afar and re-
sow, and the rains and the
SHOWS nourish.
Not a disembodied spirit can the
weapons of tyrants let loose,
But it stalks invisibly over the earth,
whispering, counciling, eau
tioning.
Liberty! let others despair of you!
l never despair of you;
Is the house shut? Is the master
away?
Nevertheless, be ready-be not weary
of watching;
He will return soon-his messengers
come anon.

ABRAHAM ROBINOWITZ

'I'n dying, boys, but don't give up.
Lift me up. | want to sing the Red
Flag again." said Abraham Robino-
WITT. AS his name indicates, he be-
longed to the race long without
flag. Who will deny him one in
death? He was shot in the back of the
head by high-power rifle bullet.
Trying to sing, he breathed his last
in the arms of his friend-himself an
ea1nest-faced lad of 10 years. He,
too, was hit in the back by spent
rifle bullet.
Is the lad or the man who fired
from ambush, the more dangerous
character?
Following is the song he tried to
sing. It was written by James Con-
nelly, the Irish revolutionist, who
was executed by the English govern
ment for his activities in the recent
uprising in Ireland:
The Red Flag
The workers flag is deepest red,
1t shrouded oft, our martyred dead;
And ere their limbs grew stiff and
cold
Their life-blood dyed it's every fold.
CHORUS:
Then raise the scarlet standard high
Beneath it's folds, We'll live and die,
Though towards finch and traitors
sheer,
Well keep the red flag flying here.
Lood round, the Frenchman loves it's
blaze,
The sturdy German chants it's praise;
In Moscow's vaults, it's hymns are
sung,
Everett swells it's surging song.
1t waved above our infant might
When all ahead seemed dark as
night
1t witnessed many a deed and vow,
We will not change it's color now.
1t suits today, the meek and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and
place;
To cringe beneath the rich mans
frown,
And haul that sacred emblem down.
With heads uncovered, swear we all,
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark, or gallows
grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn!

MASS MEETING
IS CALLED FOR
THURSDAY ?. N.
QUESTION OF PURCHASING LOT
WHERE TABERNACLE STANDS
WILL BE PUT UP TO CITIZENS
THURSDAY.

The secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce has issued a call for a
mass meeting to be held at the taber-
nacle Thursday night, at which time
the question of purchasing the lot
by the Chamber of Commerce will
be considered.
The purpose of purchasing this
property is to erect a municipal au-
ditorium in which large gatherings
can be had, and those who contribute
the money at this time will only re-
tain title to the property until the
city is financially able to reimburse
them and take it over.
Mr.. Jones, the owner of the prop
erty, has placed a price on it, and
it is confidently believed that the
money for its purchase can be raised
easily.
The meeting is called for eight
O'Clock and the secretary hopes that
every member of the Chamber of
Commerce will be present, as well as
any business man who is interested
in the future of Ardmore.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ARE STILL IN SESSION

At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners yesterday, con-
siderable routine business was dis
posed of and several special matters
considered Among the latter was
the resignation of w. T. Wiseman,
who has been justice of the peace Of
Hewitt township since statehood. Al
ter his resignation had been pre-
sented he reconsidered the PROPOSE
ton and withdrew it, stating that,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was
a candidate, he would not be a
gutter, and would stick it out to
the end
The question of dipping tanks was
considered but on account of funds
not being available the matter was
deferred until the next regular meet
ing. The same condition applies to
the county demonstration agent,
which was put over until the next
meeting. Chairman Taliaferro stated
this morning that the county would
have a demonstration agent just as
soon as the funds were available.
Some good roads matters will come
before the board at its meeting today.

Chicago, Ill.,, June 6.-The
political leaders are today
looking for any man to reunite
the republican party and are
trying to determine whether
Hughes has been strengthened
or weakened by the temporary
concentration of all forces on
him with the purpose of elimi-
mating Roosevelt.
The conference between re-
publican and progressive lead
ers continued last night and
were resumed again this morn
ing but without any announced
result. -,
The republican leaders are
now watching to see what the
progressives will do when the
convention opens tomorrow,
when they expect a tremen-
dous Roosevelt demonstration.
The two elements to be
brought into consideration to-;
day were Justice Hughes
speech in Washington yester-
day, touching on Americanism,
and the discussion of senator
Lodge of Massachusetts as a
compromise candidate for the
republican nomination, who is
likely to command Roosevelts
support.
Hughes supporters pointed
to his speech as a substantial
declaration of the question of
Americanism and contended
that it cleared up the only is
sue on which he had not pre-
viously announced his attitude.
Others said it was a speech
such as any scholarly man
might make on such an occa-
sion.

MUST BEGIN
WORK ON FAIR
BUILDINGS
FUNDS MUST BE RAISED AND A
GREAT DEAL OF WORK DONE
BEFORE THE OPENING DATE
BUSINESS MEN WILL HELP.

"The time is rapidly approaching
when the business men of the city
will be called upon to contribute to-
ward erecting suitable buildings for
the county fair, to be held here in
September
Under the law the city in the coun-
ty where the fair is held must erect
permanent buildings, and the time
is not too long to get the necessary
funds raised and the buildings fin
ished in time for the opening date"
The above was a statement OF one
of the officials of the county fair as
sociation this morning and is but a
forerunner of what the business men
will hear until the fund is raised.
The Chamber of Commerce has
held two carnivals this season and
has made several hundred dollars by
this method that is now on deposit in
the bank, but the secretary states
that it is not nearly enough, and
the balance will have to be raised
by popular subscription.
The track at the fair ground has
been maintained in good condition by
a few local horse fanciers, but the
grandstand and stables must be built
before racing can be INDUCED in.
The Chamber of Commerce and
Business Mems association will have
charge of raising this fund, which
as stated above, must be done quick
" in order to have creditable fail
this fall.

ORGANIZED LARGEST VOLUNTEER
ARMY THE WORLD HAS EVER
KNOWN.
WAS BRITISH HERO
Kitchener, While Criticized on Many
Sides, Retained Popularity and the
Government and People Realized
His Efficiency.

London, June 6.-Eari Kitchener,
the British war minister who lost
his life when the cruiser Hampshire
which was conveying him and his
staff struck mine and sunk west of
Orkney Islands, was entitled to a
place in the worlds history for many
things, but the most notable is that
he organized the largest volunteer
army the world has eyer seen during
the greatest war of all time.
Within a year from the sudden out
break of the European war in August,
1914, the ranks of British fighting
men were quadrupled by an increase
from less than one million to nearly
100000.
All other great powers that enter
ed the war had huge standing armies
and compulsory military service.
Great Britain alone faced the issue
with confidence that its people would
readily respond to the call of king
and country without compulsion, and
the precipitous developments that led
to the war found both the people
and the government unanimous in the
verdict that Kitchener of Khartum
was the man to lead in the recruit
ing and organization of the necessary
army.
1t was not a sentimental clamor,
for though Kitchener was a proven
hero of many occasions, his person
ality was as impenetrsble as hard
ened steel, and he was not hero
that could be loved; even the wal
office had no pronounced liking for
him. but on all sides there was pro
found respect for his military effic
iency and for all he had done to eX
tend the domain of the British EN-
pire.
BY mere luck Kitchener happened
to be in England on one of the com
paratively rare visits that he hac
paid to London during his long ca
reer abroad, when the European wal
broke out. He had just come home
from service as British agent in Egypt
had accepted an earldom from King
, George, and was being talked oi
as viceroy to India. Within few
hours after England's declaration OF
war, Kitchener was appointed sec
retary of state for war and imme
diately took full charge at the wal
office where he worked day and night
to overcome the handicap which the
central powers had over England il
the matter of fighting strength.
