(The New York Evening World), No. 85—WILLIAM THE SILENT, Who Made Good by Freeing His Nation. ISTORY has nicknamed him “William the Silent.” He was not a silent man. In fact, he loved to talk; and, as he was a Prince, people had to listen to him, He was William, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau. And he was the foremost man in Holland and in all the Netherlands. That did not mean much, For the Netherlands were in slavery. But William resolved to make it mean a great deal, And he made good on his resolution. Germany and Spain were the masters of the Netherlands. They ground down the people with unbearable oppressions, robbed them by cruel taxes and put them to death and to torture by thousands, This had gone on so long that the Netherlanders no longer dared rebel, A once free people had been crushed into hopeless slavery. When William was still a mere boy, in 1535, he visited the court of France. There, because his sympathies were supposed to be with the Spanish and German tyrants of his fatherland, the King and the diplomats talked freely in his presence, and they boasted of i That is the big and crucial question the shocking situation in { Held His Tongue $f, Be tasea inte a trap a i maaan were _ Beston has forced upon the people of the United States. a Boy.

It is @ question which has got to be settled now and definitely ifvorganized society and self-government in the United States are to interested in the matter. In silence and in seeming indifference he listened until the whole plan was made known to him, Then, by stealth, he sent warning to the Netherlanders and enabled them to avoid the tragedy. For knowing thus when to keep his mouth shut he received his nickname of “The Silent.” William returned to Holland and set quietly to work, seeking to rouse his compatriots to a sense of their wrongs and to induce them to revolt ; ‘ . ‘ 1 against their foreign masters.

The President of the United States has called the strike of the | police in Boston, leaving the city at the mercy of an army of thugs, “we crime against civilization.” In the President’s view: 2 “Tho obligation of @ policeman 1s a8 sacrod and direct as that of a soldier. Ho is a public servant, not a private en ‘ployee, and the whole honor and safety of the community is in his hands, He has no right to prefer any private advantage to the public safety.” It is by such a standard of public service and duty that the police fim every city in the country should now be tested and tried. It is to help restore and maintain this standard all over the + United States that the striking police of Boston, who Kave broken thei? oaths and betrayed the public, should be made a national _—— etimnple. : ©" Wherever the morale of policemen has become lowered, wherever their sense of duty to the public has been weakened, wherever their rd t allegiance is divided through their becoming increasingly involved with labor unions, there should be an immediate and drastic stiffen- |’ ing of all that the community requires in those who are to be or are to zemain members of its police force.

To take them back, he argues, would be to arbitrate the laws and government of Massachusetts, Says the Mayor of Boston: 7 “For policemen to join an outside organization and strike {nm order to improve their own private situation is as much a _ Ddetrayal of the community as it would be for eoldiers to i strike in order to better their own pay and quarters. In my judgment no compromise on this issue is possible.” There must be no compromise.. | The right of every American community to claim the first alle- __ glenive of its police and to share none of the obligations recognized § we police with the American Federation of Labor must be estab- ‘ once and for all by the result of the conflict in Boston. | The fight must be fought out even though Federal troops have to be sent to Boston and every loyal force in the Nation invoked to beck the municipal and State Governments involved against the sym- pathetic strike action of other labor unions. _ Where there is at stake a fundamental principle of public pro- tection upon which depend the continued safety and welfare of the 120,000,000 people of the United States in their local living and pur- suits, there can be no compromise. * Despite Mr. Gompers’s move to put off a final decision, the time to-decide the issue of a loyal and dependable police, as between the public and the American Federation of Labor, is now, *© And the place is Boston. When he was a little boy she B® taught him all the goody - goody * things, He could repeat all the fine mottoes from his copy book. And thus ne learned many lessons on being a good boy. When he was old enough the best school was found for him, Mother took him there and told all the teach- ers what a good boy Clarence was. How he had never given her a mo- ment's worry. For hadn't she kept him very close to her all the time, never allowed him out with other boys or girls? She told how he had never told a lle or given her a single pang all his life, She had been his ever- lasting bodyguard, And thus far he had turned out the product she had planned him to be, Now thie young man, who had been started in this right way, knew noth- ing elee, and went on being the goody- good litle boy in his college days. Somehow or other he did not min- gle much with the other boys and found himself alone in his room very often, He became quite a bookworm, having to spend so much time with himself, When mother heard of th she was very much pleased, “He wi never learn bad habits from other Doys,” she reasoned, “and therefore he will be a great man,” When his college days were over, he took his sheepskin and came home to present it to mother, like a good bey, and now, as usual, he turned to her for the next step in his life, It was all ready for him. She had purchased a small partner- sbip in her father’s firm, and he would step right in and become the great man, And he did step right in, in contact, not with college men but ner, of business.

In fact, it led to the part-freedom of the Netherlands, al- though William was still obliged to give nominal tribute to the foe. ‘Then, a few years later, hesrealized he had educated his people to the point of willingness to sacrifice everything to freedom's cause and he threw off the yoke entirely, The enemy invaded the Netherlands and a mighty struggle followed.

Or Trailing the Bunch From Paradise By Rube Towner Coprright, 1919, by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York Byrening World). Newcomer Takes a Vacation HE bunch had missed Newcomer from his accustomed seat on the 7.55 A. M. for more than a week, when they began to receive postcards from him indicating that he was making a wet pilgrimage through some of the dry States, That is, they imagined the post- cards were from Newcomer. They bore no date, no name of any place, nor any signature, but Doc thought the handwriting bore a resemblance to Newcomer's. The post-office stamp fave no clue, because no one ever saw a legible post-office mark from a small town post-office, AN the other members had returned from their vacations with tales of wonderful experiences. Doc spent his vacation in Florida and came back with a plan to graft a grapevine on an orange tree that would produce orange juice with a kick in it when the Prohibition amendment took ef- fect, Mawruss had returned from Nor- folk with a bunch of blackface stories and an expense bill as long as the Peace Treaty, which he was able to have ratified because he is President of the company and has to O. K. all bills. Gus had not yet returned from his annual trip to France, but sent @ postal saying he had applied fer the position of Harbor Master at Bor- deaux, where the supply is unlimited. If he succeeds there will be a heavy ‘increase of travel in that direction because “everybody drinks when the harbor master drinks.” One morning as the bunch was bound cityward, Doc announced that he had at last located Newcomer by @ letter he bad received and which was as follows MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, Sept. 9, 1919.
