THE SEATTLE STAR—SATURDAY, AUGUST 381, 1918. “KETCH "EM WHERE THEY ARE” John Smith is distinctly A Good Citizen. He is Prosperous. He bought stock in some companies that have developed. They found oil on a farm left him by his father. He has money in the bank. Lots of it, As each of his children became 18, he furnished them with a fast runabout. His wife rides around in a big limousine. John himself rather fancies a Ford or going afoot. His habits, on the whole, are not so bad. If once in a while he takes a cocktail and feels real devil- ish for the moment, it isn’t long before he sneaks into a jewelry store and his wife becomes the possessor of a new ring or a diamond pendant. John’s idea of sport is to go out to a ball game in summer and a picture show in winter. He was not until recently exactly sure what the “manly art” meant. John had heard that away down in another part of the city there was a man who used to dress himself up in a steel shirt, stick knives and bombs in his belt, fil his pockets with bottles of poison, and go out on the street with a revolver in each hand, loudly pro- claiming that he would bite off the nose and eat the liver of anyone who interfered with him. When John _ Smith heard of this, he didn’t believe it. In the first place, nobody would be such a fool. In the second ay anyone who did such things was crazy. In the place, if anyone did such things he would be ar- rested. In the fourth place, a man might threaten to do such things, but he never would really do them. It was impossible. One day John was going down the street, and off began to ask questions and found that the trouble was started by The Man in the Steel Shirt. This man had started to carry out his threats, had knocked down some women and killed some children, and was then set upon by men who were endeavoring to restrain him. Some neighbors of the man had come to his rescue, and the struggle was getting pretty severe. John Smith's interest was aroused by this time, and he drew near enough so that the people in the fight, from time to time, would step on his toes, or near them. John didn’t like this, The Man in the Steel Shirt broke away from his assailants just about the time that John Smith’s wife and children appeared on the scene. They weren't in the way of the man at all, but he leaped upon them and killed one of the children, Up to that time, John’s feelings had been mixed. He rather admired the cold-blooded way in which The Man in the Steel Shirt was making his struggle and the preparedness which was evidenced all thru the fight. However, as none of his family had been in- jured, he had not expressed any particular feeling one way or the other. The murder of his child, however, without cause, made John shed his shirt and leap into the fray, and the remarkable part of it was that, altho he was the last to go in, he was the most determined that the struggle should not end by simply turning back The Man in Steel and letting him escape, but that the end should come only when The Man in Steel had been beaten to the ground, had cried enough and had situation with the American people. We we slow to go into this war. First, we gave Kaiser Wilhelm the benefit of the doubt. Then we gave the German people the benefit of the doubt. Then we decided that while the Prussians might be im- possible under their present leadership, that the South Germans might be led, thru Saxony, Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemberg, to break down the power of the war machine, At last we are awake, But just as it took a long time to awaken us, and just as we took our time when awake to go into the war, just so we will stay in the war until the war is properly ended, The history of Germany from the earliest times proves that the German people are great fighters— that they are very slow to believe that they have made a mistake, But the only way to bring a peace that amounts to anything whatever, is to convince them that they have made a mistake regarding war. Con- viction will only come with the killing of enough Ger- mans to bring the German wives, mothers and sweet- hearts into revolt against the government. Now, we must first have men. Second, we must have munitions, Third, in order to maintain the men and supply the munitions, we must have money. We have got to have lots of money—so much money that the imagination of man cannot conceive of the volume, Some of the money we will get by placing a mort gage upon farms and houses and live stock and grain fields and railroads of the country. That means the That's the But some part of the money we must get by taxa- tion. Those in whose hands lies our destiny, have de- cided that approximately one-third of what our govern- ment spends must be raised by taxation, Years ago, up North, at a great fishing camp, there was an old guide who always brought back his party with “plenty much fish in the boat.” Man after man tried to find out his secret. On the seventh or eighth trip one visitor made up there, he won the old guide’s confidence, The old man, sitting over the fire one night, explained the rule followed by him, which was, “Think like a fish, and KETOH ’EM WHERE THEY ARE.” e Now, when it comes to raising thousands of mil- lions of dollars by taxation, thegold rules must be cast aside. We have got to have this money. The thing to do, then, is to go where the money is. It’s foolish— it’s a waste of time—to talk about “making the rich pay the expenses of the war.” The rich people are s called because they have the money. Those who ha’ the money have got to turn it in to the government. Of course, the rich have got to pay for the war!. The railroad trackman, with his $900 a year, and rising prices, can’t finance the purchase of fifteen or twenty million rifles. The best he can do is to keep the track in order so that the rifles can be hauled to the neces- sary place of delivery. The man who owns the railroad has got to furnish the money to buy the rifles. In framing this taxation bill, we have got to go where the money is. So here’s a motto for the committee in Washing- ton: issue of bonds. “KETCH ’EM WHERE THEY ARE.” to one side he saw a mass of men struggling.
