KILL BABIES" Their LUST

Last Saturday evenings State Jour
nal gave an interview with the law
defend the 1. w. w. gentry in the
United States district court, in which
she made the statement that the Wob-
blies were mighty nice lot, and what
they stood for was something worse
than the Plumb plan. She also was
quoted as saying that the 1. w. w. are
not in favor of sabotage except where
they can by Laying along with their
work compel the employer to pay
more for efficient service. This last
statement stamps her as very ignorant
of the established tenets of this bunch
of nondescripts. else their printed pro-
paganda is a mere camouflage.
1 have copies of their constitution,
their official song book, and some
other literature, published by their
as follows: Published by I. w. w.
Publishing Bureau. 1901 w. Madison
St., Chicago, Ill, u. S. A This is
the headquarters of Haywood, the an
archist, of the gang that was railded
several times by the authorities. and
consequently their literature, SO i'm
printed, must be officially sanctioned
by the order.
''Thcir Hcllish Lust"
This literature plainly urges MEM
bers of the /. W. W. to not only de-
troy property. government, and life,
but goes further. They advise the
bayoneting of babies. and the seizing
and use of pretty maidens to their
hellish lust. They preach revolution
and disorder in every page of their
printed stuff. They ridicule the gov
eminent, the army and navy, and the
red flag is their slogan. Labor is
entitled to all it produces" is another
bright pot of gold their rainbow points
to.
This lawyeress woman has little to
do, to say the least, in going anywhere
in this country to defend a gang of
outlaws who will endorse by their acts
and deeds damnable stuff printed
in their pamphlets and song books
But she ought to tell the truth, and
not attempt to gloss over the cussed-
ness of the I. w. w. It is just such
propaganda as we sought to run down
and exterminate during the war. 1t
is just such propaganda as Kaiser Bill
endorsed, and spread, and as his
henchmen are still spreading thruout
this land. America is no place for this
Russianized outfit, and they should
be shipped to the country where the
red flag cohorts wade in their own
blood.
Now there is no use mincing mat
ters. This literature was taken from
captured l. w. w. gangs by the ton
in various raids, and the authors and
followers of such a clan are against
everything that stands for order and
right. If we are less patriotic now
than a year ago, we were slackers
then; but 1 cannot think so.
National Anthem of I. w. w.
Foster N. Burns, a well-known de-
tective, vouched for some of the I'M
speakable depredations of the Won't
Workers" and exhibited copies of a
song that is said to be the anthem of
this organization, and to have been
sung by them as they approached
Everett. Wash, at the time ten of
their number were killed. What more
disgustingly low could be imagined
than the following, found on the per-
sons Of some of the captured outlaws,
along with other literature equally as
foul? Whether authenticated officially
by the heads of the 1. w. w, it illus
trates to what eXtremities some of the
members of this band would go if not
closely watched:
Onward Christian soldiers; duty's way is
plain;
Stay your Christian neighbors, or by them
Pulplteers are spouting efferveseent swilI.
God above Is calling you to rob, and rape,
All your acts are sanctlfIed by the Lamb
If you love the Holy Ghost go murder,
pray and die.
Onward Christian soldiers! Rip and tear
and smite,
Let Nrentle Jesus DlcsS your
Splinter skulls with shrapnel, fertilize the
sod;
Folks who do not speak your tongue de-
serve the curse of God.
Smash the doors Of every home, pretty
maidens seize,
Use your might and sacred right to treat
them as you please.
Onward Christian soldiers. Eat and drink
Rob with bloody fingers, Christ o. ks the
bill.
Steal the farmers savings, take their grain
and meat:
Even tho the children starve, the Savior's
buns must eat
Burn the peasants cottages, orphans leave
In Jehovahs holy name, wreak ruin right
and left.
onward Christian soldiers Drench the land
Mercy is a weakness ali the gods abhor.
Bayonet the babies. jabsthe mothers. too:
Hoist the cross of Calvary to hallow all
you do.
File your bullets noses flat. poison every
God DEGREES your enemies must go plumb
to hell.
Onward Christian soldiersi Blighting all
You meet.
Trampiing human freedom under pious
feet.
Praise the Lord whose dollar signs dupes
his favored race!
Make the foreign trash respect your bullion
Trust in mock salvation, serve as pirates
tools:
History will say of you: THAT pack of
G. D fools"
