And Came
to Pass


And it came to pass that tie city
of Seattle which is by the Sound
called Puget, waxed strong ana Hour
ished as a green bay tree, and the in
habitants thereof grew and the city
became mighty because of it's people.
And many ships were builded within
the gates Of the city, even ships of
the nation.
And behold, there came to the city
many workmen to fashion the ships
because of the great need of item.
And there came also Il few men
called radicals" who sought to set
the workmen against their employers,
and against the government and the
chosen rulers thereof.
and much mischief was done by the
radicals who inflamed the WCrlmen,
saying, eye ore poorly paiG, why Will
We toll with your hands for so paltry
recompense. Hearken Unto US, re-
fuse to labor until your employers in
crease your stipend"
and many of the laborers heard
the Injunction of the radicals and Wot
not that the radicals devised to over
throw the government and its rulers
and do violence to all in authority.
And many more did hear the radicals
and OWNED their hidden purpose, but
feared to raise their voices against
them lest they be dealt witt. harshly.
And after many days it came to
pass OF a fixed date the radicals COM
PEELED all who worked with their
hands to cease from their labors, and
refuse to do aught.
And all the people were seized with
a great fear because the cars ran not
through the streets, neither did the
iitney pursue it's usual course and
many threats OF violence were heIrd,
and much inconvenience was fastened
upon the inhabitants.
Now Ole of the Tribe Of Hanson,
Norseman, was the ruler of the city,
and when he saw the evil which was
being wrought to all the people and
the defiance of the radicals of author
ity, he was very wroth with righteous
Indignation for he knew that great
harm was being done to the laborer as
we'll as to the employer.
And he arose and girded up his
loins and smote his breast and called
for his Chief of Police, che Joel F.
Warren, a mighty man of vclor, whose
stature was very great, and who
feared no man. And the ruler, even
Ole, said unto the Chief, "Canst thou
with thy valient band provide full p-o-
lection for these my people WHO suf-
fer for l will issue an edict directing
business to be resumed as usual at 8
a. m. on the morrow"
Then the Grief, raising himself to
his full height, which is head and
shoulders above other men, answered
the ruler saying, verify | with my
men are fully prepared tc offer the
fullest protection to all the people
against our common enemy, and
should any there be who openly defy
erty or life, | VIII drive them before
me until their hats float over them
in the waters of the Sound"
And Ole the ruler was much pleased
for he knew it was even as the Chief
had said.
And Ole called in a scribe and
caused parchment to be written re-
assuring all the people even the labor
ers and he denounced the radicals as
"'reyolutonists," "reds,' "bclshevists,"
:'enemies of the government" And he
tore from the radicals their masks,
which had hidden them.
and all the people heard their
ruler and took heart, and they said,
surely God is good that such a just
and fearless man is our ruler and
the name of Ole Hanson was mighty
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. And his people loved him
and also his Chief for the salvation
which they vouchsafed not only to
the people of Seattle, but the whole
nation. '>."
And the deeds of Ole became an
example for the rulers of other cities
of the Acknowledgements.
