Ole Hanson

Ole Hanson is the melting pots vindi-
cation. A native-born son of immigrant
parents, there is no hyphen attached to
this Seattle Mayors title Of American
An advocate Of such legislation as the
minimum wage law for women and the
eight-hour day for both men and women
workers, there was doubt in some Seattle
minds about the course he would take if
the labor troubles which were threaten
ing the Washington city came to head.
They were not kept in doubt.
This is not a strike; it is attempted
revolution engineered by anarchists, Boil
sheviki and the ]. w. w." he said; and
he laid heavy hand upon the situation,
with the result that the latest news from
Seattle is that the crisis there is past.
In statement discussing the situation
Mayor Hanson says:
"The labor unions must now cleanse
themselves Of their anarchistic element
or the labor unions must fall They are
on trial before the people of this coun-
try. ! take the position that our duty as
citizens stands ahead of the demand of
The union men, the business men, the
churchmen, must first of all be citizens.
Any man who owes a higher allegiance to
any organization than he does to the gov
ernment should be sent to a Federal
prison or be deported."
Throughout his political career Ole
Hanson has been disciple of Theodore
Roosevelt, and his words, published by
coincidence on Roosevelt Memorial Day,
are such as would have delighted that
great American:
The union men, the business men,
the churchmem, must first of all be
citizens. Any man 4cho oues
higher allegiance to any orgonisa-
ton than he does to the government
should be sent to a Federal prison or
be deported.

A Subway Mine Field

The method pursued by Controllers
Craig in the settlement of subway con-
tractors damage" claims NAV vet lead
to serious embarrassment for all the
parties concerned. A committee of the
Legislature would do we'll to look deeply
into the matter
These damage" claims have reached
the formidable total Of $4,000 900.
They are still climbing. Last fall Con-
troller Craig made it clear that he was
gong to give these claims heroic treat
ment. He asserted that the Public Ser
vice Commission was delaying the COM
pletion of the subway by dilatory tactics.
In December he adjusted the million
dollar claim of the Intercontinental Con-
struction Corporation on basis of about
30 per cent--allowing the claimant
$328,000. A claim of like size by the
Degnon Contracting Company was ad-
justed at $325,00o.
Commissioner Whitney, of the Public
Service Commission, attacked the Con-
troller's method. AS counsel to the COM
mission Judge Ransom said the
company could not have collected any,
thing by legal action. The remainder
of the story is familiar to Tribune read
ers who have followed it in the news
columns. A very substantial proportion
of each claim filed is based on the alleged
failufe of the Public Service Commits
sion to provide the contractor with work
ing drawings, as required by the terms
OF the contract This would be a serious
dereliction on the part of the commission
If it were a fact. The commissions en-
glneers deny the charge and in their de-
fence direct attention to their day-by-
day records. Meanwhile there is little
cooperation between the Controller and
the Public Service Commission.
The claims privately adjusted by the
Controller must be paid by annual bud
get taxation. If the contractors are en-
titled to damages-and doubtless in
many instances they are-then their
damages should be ascertained by the
Controller and the commission working
IN cooperation, so that the commission
may charge them to construction ac-
count, where the charge belongs, and
where the cost may be covered by bond
issues.
Meanwhile it may be suggestion
worth the consideration of the Controller
chat adjustments of damage" claims
based on anything but facts will be un-
satisfactory. Unless matter of this
character is disposed Of in thoroughly
commendable way it cannot be regarded
as completed transaction. 1t is a float

preparation of $4,000 for an experi-
mental school lunch system. This be-
came available on January l, and on
February 6 certain members of the
Board of Education came out with
a reactionary statement to the effect
that they doubted the real need for such
service, and in any case there should be
no large salaries paid for the conduct
of the system; the work should be done
with practically no overhead under the
domestic scientists of the schools.
Since practically every one in educa-
tional and health circles has declared
for school luncheons, it is a bit dis
couraging to have the matter taken
up as new issue and to start in
on another survey. The most trustwor

city school children to be suffering from
malnutrition and 61 per cent are under
nourished. There are 100000 under

The Winners

Chancellor Ebert, at the opening of the
German National Assembly, protested
against the "unheard-of and ruthless"
armlstice terms imposed upon Germany.
- We warn our opponents not to drive US
to the uttermost," he exclaimed. "Hun-
ger is preferable to disgrace and deep
privation is to be preferred to dishonor."
Professor Hans Delbriick is equally
vociferous. "It is proposed" he says, "to
impose upon Germany a burden which
would make the country the wage slave
of its enemies for decades. There can
not be any doubt that Germany would
rise against such slavery at the first op-
portunity and the world would again be
plunged into war;
The German is recovering his effront-
cry. The Hun is unique in his psychol-
ogy. He never can see himself as others
see him or dream of applying to himself
the rules which he applies in his conduct
toward others.
Would Germany have imposed truth
less terms" and 'wage slavery" on the
Allied nations if she had won the war?
The answer is to be found in the peace
conditions which she forced on the two
Entente powers which she did conquer
Russia and Rumania.
Ebert, one of the Majority Socialist
leaders in the Reichstag, joined with
Scheidemann and the rest in applaud
ing the Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest
treaties. Delbriick was one of the intel
lectuals who justified the Pan-German
programme Of conquest. They had no
heart and no compunctions when Ger
many bestrode Central Europe and was
bending the peoples of Russia and the
Balkans to her will
self-pity is obnoxious. 1t becomes nau-
seating in the mouths of those who new
had any pity for others and in whose
whining there is no confession of error
or guilt.

THE COMING EVENT.

Written 20 years ago by James Clarence Mangan)
Curtain the Lamp, and bury the bowl
The ban is on drinking!
Reason shall reign the queen Of the soul
When the spirits are sinking.
Chained lies the demon that smote with
blight
Mems morals and laurels;
So, Hail to Health, and a long goodnight
To old wine and new ouarrels!
Nights shall descend, and no taverns ring
To the of our revels;
Mornings shall dawn, but none Of them
bring
White lips and blue devils.
Riot and Frenzy sleep with Remorse
In the obsolete potion
And mind grows calm as ship on her
course
Der the level of Ocean
SO should it be!--for Mans world of
romance
Is fast disappearing
And shadows Of CHANGES are seen In
advance
Whose epochs are nearing;
And days are at hand when the Best will
require
All means Of salvation,
And the souls of men shall be tried in the
Of the Final Probation.
And the Willing no longer or sneers or
smiles;
And the Worldling dissembles;
And the blank minded skeptc feels anxious
at whiles,
And wonders and trembes
And fear and defiance are blent in the Jest
Of the blind Self -decever;
And infinite hope is born in the breast
OF the chidlike Believer.
Darken the lamp then, and bury the bowl.
Ye Faithfullest-h hearted!
And as your swift years hasten on IN Tho
goal
Whittier worlds have departed
Spend all, sinew, soul, in your zeal to atone
For the past and its errors;
SO best shall ye bear to encounter alone
THE EVENT and it's terrors.
