The Northwest worker. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1915-1917, 1916-01-13

Up to very few years ago Amer
lea boasted of it's freedom from mill
tarism. We contemplated the rulers
of Europe who maintained great
armies in training to kill with abhor.
ence. We felt no fear of them. They
were no menace to us. We regarded
the army menace to the people who
maintained it and suffered the bur,
den of the cost.
And we were not wrong. We now
see what preparedness costs Europe
Yet, those who control our country
are leading us to follow the footsteps
of the European casters of men. The
use of the power of the press they
own and the great magazines which
they substitute to convince us, that
there is a lurking danger, just be-
yond our natural vision, ready to
spring and deprive us of liberty.
This at time, when the most dan
gerous rulers are least able to men
ace us, by reason of having their peo-
pie pitted against each other. They
are now in death grapple, unable
to turn loose of their prey.
Whence then is the danger to come
The great magnates for whose ben
eft this government of ours is CON
Quoted are leading us to prepare !;
even as the rulers of Europe have
led their people to prepare and plunge
into the vortex of wars cataclysm.

pride of bigots to increase the al
ready bullying Golfers of greed - a
commercial conquest with bullets and
bayOnets. Some one has said that
was is rich mans game" 1t is.
War is a game of checkers-the play
er is the rich class, the checkers are
the poor class. 1t is a game Wherein
for the player (the rich) to win, about
half of the checkers (the poor must
be removed the poor soldiers must
suffer excruciating pain, and die like
fools
Let lies cease! Let the truth be
known. Dear reader, war enhances
the interests of the rich alone, while
the sons, brothers and husbands of
the poor are either weakened, MAIN
ed for life or killed, leaving sisters
daughters, wives and mothers, or
phans and widows unprotected and
inadeQuately provided for, even by
that government for which they
thought they were giving their lives
Because of thi slaughter game, these
women folk who are Just as good as
any that ever breathed, are inferiorly

Then what? Oh, nothing, Of course,
but weary dragging of ourselves back
across the sands in the direction of the
Smith Street cars, which, at least, will
run half the night for the sake of extra
fares. And, finally, we reach the en-
trance, or rather the exit, Of our days
pleasure, and sleepily seat ourselves for
a long dark ride behind two jaded
horses, who have, poor creatures, no
idea of the existence of Coney Island,
Notwithstanding their journey hither
and thither every day.
Over the rails, rattle and bang, until
we catch ourselves doing almost upon
our neighbours shoulder.
To be sure, we happen to remember
sundry articles left behind on the beach,
which in our haste we forgot to gather
up, and which we never expect to see

Or, we may prefer to enjoy the fun of
BATHING;
and nobody can laugh at us more heart
lily than we laugh at ourselves as we
emerge from the clearinghouse a mere
caricature of our former selves. 1t really
requires considerable nerve to face our
stylish companions, who, arrayed in all
the glory Of civilized life, are standing
about us, eyeglasses in hand, ready for
good-natured jeers and ridicule.
But after the first plunge into the surf
how enviable is our lot, we think, and
hurrah for the glorious surf.

something to do and to see, and not
just sand, sand, sand"
Sounds sort of foolish, doesn't it, III
this year of grace 1916? Coney Island
lonely place, no people, nothing to do,
nothing to see, dummy-line from Green
wood Cemetery what sort of Coney
Island are they talking about, anyway?
Not our Coney Island?
Yes, our Coney island. Lots of peo-
pie talked that way about it forty to
forty-fve years ago, when the pictures
on this page were made. There are
sketches of the Coney Island which We
know on Page 5. Turn to them and then
come back to these. Rather a marked
contrast, is it not?
In 1878 Mary D. Brine, who contrib
uted with frequency to the magazines Of
the period, wrote sea-breeZy little arti-
Gle which she called "Coney Island. or,
Our American Brighton" Let us take
the trip to Coney with Miss Brine, keep
ing a well-bred and considerate silence
concerning the superior transit facili-
ties which We know and patronize. Not
a word about Luna Park or Steeple
chase or roller coasters or dips-o death.
If Miss Brine will take us to Coney by
horse car and dummy, take us to a
Coney where the sand is ankle-deep and
from which the last dummy for the city
steams Greenwoodward at little after
six in the evening, let us go gratefully
and with no outward show of superior
ity Just because the Coney ne know is
the Coney of Page and not that of
1878. Ready, Miss Brine.
"Ho! for the cooling breezes OF the
ocean and the bayw Very well; since
that is the cry, let us crafty our long

cooling breezes by the wholesale and
plenty of ocean in the bargain. First we

PLAN THE TRIP.
And this we do by holding numerous
consultations as to the best day, hour
and manner of starting on our excur-
sion. Luncheon is prepared, shawls,
umbrellas and many unnecessary artl-
cles are strapped together, and finally,
all things being ready, I'VE stay not on
the order of our going, but go at once"

Coney Island 1--WE are not fortunate
enough to drive our liveried establish
ments) would be beyond our reach.
Those of our friends who have passed
through the car-catching experience
will understand, without description Of
ours, the trials of patience, temper, ETC.,
consequent to such efforts. and we may
imagine ourselves safely arrived, after
numberless detentions, at the dummy
depot just as the engine steams out Of
darkness into light.
"ALL ABOARD FOR COOLING BREEZEs~
Comfortably seated behind the POM
pous little engine, which blows and puffs
itself over the road we draw long
breaths of relief and begin to consider
our trip most sensible performance in
deed. The fresh, sweet-scented air is
filling our lungs with new life and
quickening our pulses with more OF
energy than we have felt for some time,
and we throw care to the winds for the
day. Presently we are startled by a
whistle and screech extraordinary, con-
sidering the size Of our engine, and 10!
we are in the midst of negro habita-
ton, while like bees the tribe of colored
brethren swarm out to watch proceed
ings. The dummy speeds on, and at last
we hear the welcome cry, "All out"
They say that twenty years ago a
large forest stood just where we now
hasten through sand ankle deep en- route
for the beach, and that a huge tidal
wave, sweeping over the whole eastern
part of the island, destroyed the grand
old trees, and thus we must endure

danger to our complexions) with as
much complacency as regrets for the old
woods will permit. A grand
PROMENADE ON THE BEACH.

by to prudish dignity, and welcome, we
spirits of fun and frolic.
We can run, skip, and jump without
fear of Mrs. Grundy, and if it be our
desire to lie fiat upon the fine clean sand,
who dare question our right so to do?
We may punch our parasols deep into
the hard beach near the surf, and make
little wells to our hearts content; and
when a sudden wave creeps slyly behind
us we have a perfect right to scream
like frightened babies and run for dear
life, if we choose.
