Spirit ROusers
By CHARLES PERRY TAYLOR
Secy. Washington State Federation
of Labor.

That we were basking in the though
That the human race
Was steadily coming to recognize
The community of its interest
| The world over.
Then came the European war
And we revised our opinion.
It is only a short time since
We all believed it possible
To at least humanize differences Ions
existing
Between capital and labor.
Then came Ludlow and Everett.
Unpleasant thoughts intrude
When one reflects upon man,
Made in the image of his Maker,
But the worst counterfeit in creation
1t hardly becomes us to say much
About Armenian massacres.
Witness our lynchings in the South,
Only occasionally to avenge a woman
More often to crafty the bloodthirsti
ness
OF an American mob
Not one whit better than that
Which Caesar appeased
With bread and the circus,
With pitch torches made of Christians
With martyrs fed to lions.
Your true mob is brute aggregation
Loving brutality for its own sake.
What is that collection of fiends
Who watch prize fights
But a counterpart of Caesars hellions
What is that gang of onlookers
Who swarmed the water side a
Everett
To see sheriffs and I. w. WIS
Slaughter each other with automatic
guns
But a gang of uncivilized ruffians
Who loved fight, fair or foul
And delighted in killing
Just as the savage enjoyed
Sinking a tomahawk into the skull
OF a woman or a child?
What were the so-called citizens
Of the Smokestack City
AS they watched the fun"
From the Great Northern depot
But murderers at heart?
Answer that, you who love brutality,
And answer for yourself for YOU
thoughts,
For your disregard of your fellow men
The American mob delights in torture
OF its victim.
Whether the victim be deserving O
torture
Matters little to the mob.
An innocent man writhes, you know,
AS Interestingly as a guilty one.
There is absolutely no excuse
For what happened in Everett,
Even on the part of that middle elias
Not directly concerned in the strike.
It is an offense agains civilization
/ To pretend there is an excuse.
The violence of that awful Sunday
Ought to be stigmatized
For the corrupted savagery that it is
And the onlookers, equally guilty,
Too cowardly to risk their lives
AS did those who fought
For what they deemed was right,
| Deserve the greater censure.
The devil sat by lake of fire
On a pile Of sulphur kegs;
His head was bowed upon his breast
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dripped from his eyes.
He had sent his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
I'm down and out" the devil said,
He said it with a sob.
Hell isn't what it used to be
Since Everett stole my job
I'm a has-been and a piker,
And therefore I resign,
And ] want a long vacation
In the Heaven along the Rhine.
I hate to leave my old home,
The spot l love so well,
But feel that I'm not up-to-date
Since Everett supplanted He'll"
And the devil he spat a squirt of steal
, Dripping with birthstone fire,
As he shed red tears for a town gon
wrong
Hartleyized into the mire.

the verdict in the Mills case. That

would have been a soothing lotion to

Weeghman comes back with a
statement that if Bresnahan does not
kick up any fuss he will be taken care
of and get every cent Of his money.
Roger, however, believes that in
being deposed as manager he will lose
prestige among baseball men and fol-
lowers of the game.
Affairs are on the thin edge of
danger and anything is liable to hap
pen. Bresnahan's contract is GER
tainly unbreakable, so far as the
money is concerned. Weeghman is
making no argument about that, as
Roger was wise business man when
the agreement was drawn up with
the old Cub owners.

BOXING SPORTS OF /
Perfect peace and harmony has not
yet enveloped the baseball situation,
and the Federal league suit against
organized baseball is still before
Judge Lands, where it is liable to
stay until decision is reached, I'M
less the Baltimore club is placated.
When the Feds filed the suit the
Baltimoreans were made party and
it can only be withdrawn when all in
dividuals consent. Now, the Mary
land people do not think they have
been fairly dealt with in the amalga-
nation proceedings, and they retain
the suit as a club to force some con-
cessions from the peacemakers.
So far as has developed nothing at
all was done for the Baltimore own
ers when peace was declared. They
were left absolutely in the cold, with
a team and a playing field on their
hands, having no possible outlet ex-
cept through the magninimity of the
International league. They do not
appear willing to trust to this quality.
international Ieaguers want to put
a club back in Baltimore, but are
being blocked, as there are no
grounds available except those held
by the Federals. The situation at
present is deadlocked, with organ
lied baseball steerers making de-
mands that the Lands suit be with
drawn.
1t will not be, however, according
to positive information from Balti-
more, until the terrapin eaters are
compensated.
There is also a fine little mess
brewing right here in our midst, with
Roger Bresnahan and Charley
Weeghman as the principals. Roger

FOURTH OF JULY TETANUS

FOJ XIII Or JOL1 + ANCS
Back in 1905 there were 1O4 deaths
in the United States from Fourth of
July tetanus, this figure representing
about the average annual mortality.
In 1914, as result of the institution
of better prorhylactic treatment by
physicians and the widespread agita-
ton for safe and sane Fourth, the
timber was reduced to 3. A year
ago the U. S. Publ: Health Service
expected and predicted that every
youngster in tho United States would
be safe from TIL; disease, bas;ng it's
estimate on wha: had already been
accomplished When the returns
came in it was found that a boy down
in Maine had been injured, developed
tetanus and died. That single fatal
ity was only one among several
hundred thousand occurring in the
United States during 1915 but it re-
suited from Fourth of July tetanus
or lockjaw, a preventable disease,
and was therefore an unnecessary
death. The loss of this boy makes
it necessary to again disseminate in
formation regarding this wholly
avoidable infection.
! The blank cartridge wound is the
great cause of Fourth of July te-
tanus, but injuries from crackers and
firearms are at times responsible.
When driven into the tissues the wad-
ding carries with it innumerable bac-
I'LL. If these be tetanus bacilli the
,oisonous products or toxins resulting
| from their multiplication produce the
disease. Tetanus bacilli thrive only
in the absence of oxygen. 1t is for
this reason that the physician enlarg-
es the wound of entrance and after
removing all foreign material dress
es the injury in such manner that
development Of the organisms is in
hibited. In order to accomplish this
It is usually necessary to administer
| an anaesthetic. Antitetanic serum
S of great value as prophylactic
md it should invariably be given in
injuries of this character.
Parents should realize that Fourth
If July tetanus is easy to prevent
but extremely difficult to cure, the
isease being attended with a NOR
!talitv of more than 95 per cent, No
blank cartridge wound is too trivial
to receive careful medical attention
However, slight the injury may ap.
,ear summon competent physician
Who will at once institute the neces.
sary prophylactic measures. Reli
ance upon home treatment may prove
disastrous and result in the needless
sacrifice of life.
