instance of this. Typographical
members, pressmen and printers re
mained at work. Stereotypers, long-s-horemen
and street car men vio
lated orders of their international
bodies and walked out.
Engineers and janitors employed
in the city's 79 schools voted today
to resume work Monday when the
school board announced that men
not appearing then would forfeit
their positions. Fifteen schools
were open Friday.
ilaj. Gen. John F. Morrison, com
mander of the Western department
of the army, arrived here tonight
to take command of the federal
troops. After conferring with
Mayor Ole Hanson and city offi
cials, he said he believed the back
bone of the general strike was
broken.
"Law will rule," said General
Morrison. "If the unionists want
to quit work that is their aUair. If
they want to resume work that also
is their business. We dp not care
how long they remain away from
their' work nor how many. The
only thing we are interested in Is
that the law is obeyed and we are
here to see it is. . Lawlessness will
not be countenanced, and the pro
tection of property will be our
rluty."
Revolution Attempted.
To call attention to his claim that
the present situation in, Seattle is
in attempted revolution rather than
i strike, Mayor Ole Hanson, in a
tatement tonight, quoted an editor
ial published in the labor unions'
daily newspaper here February. 4.
The editorial, referring to the
strike, said:
"We ard undertaking the most
tremendous move ever made by
labor in this country, a move which
will lead no one knows where.
. . Labor will not only shut
Jown the .industries but labor will
reopen the,m under the manage
ment of the appropriate trades. Such
ictivities arc needed to preserve
lealth and public peace. If the
itrike continues labor may feel led
:o avoid public suffering by reopen
'ng more and more activities, under
its own management. And that is
why we say that we are starting on
a road that leads no one knows
where."
Commenting upon' this editorial,
Mayor Hanson said:
"We will not deal with revolution
ists. We demand unconditional sur
render." Tacoma Strike Collapses.

First Nation's City
Wide Strike.
Seattle, Wash., Feb. 8. (Special.)
Ole Hanson, blue-eyed, slight of
build, fiery of speech, radical of
radicals in the advocacy of govern
ment by the people, finds himself
in a strange situation as mayor of
Seattle, three days in the throes of
the nation's first city-wide strike.
The radical mayor announced that
the city would continue to. be gov
erned from the city hall and any
person who attempts to interfere
will be shot. Latest reports show
he has the situation in hand.
Ole Hanson is a regular Beau
Erummel in dress. His overcoats
always outflashed Jim Ham Lewis'
vests and pink whiskers in th old
days. In a crowd of laborers he
always seems out of place until he
starts to talk.
Leader 20 Years.
He is not rich but he is inde
pendent. He gave up money-making
for a public career. He has been
a leader of the northwest radical
constructive element for 20 years
and has taken part in and messed
up. according to his enemies, more
public disputes than any other man
from his section of the country.
Although of Swedish ancestry, he
has the impulsive temperament ot
an Irishman. He was born in
southern Wisconsin.
He has always taken an interest
in politics; and always been radl-
night to have collapsed. Street ears
aref running on their former sched
ules, theaters are open, stores have
resumed business and the barbers
have returned to work.
Only at the headquarters of the
strikers, where the usual large
gathering of men was present, was
there any unusual signs. Here a meet-
t . . ,. A A I . J
ing nenina ciosea aoors was caneu
tonight with union officials declining
to make any statement as to its
purpose.
At. the longshoremen's hall an
other meeting was in progress, it be
ing admitted by members of the
local that the object was to recon
sider the vote on the strike which
resulted in the determination to walk
out two days ago,
Troops continued at their posts
throughout the city tonight and
while it was not believed that they
would be needed, army officers said
the men would remain on duty until
all possible danger of a physical
demonstration had passed.

In four years Dodge Brothers
have supplied to the American
people, and to American sol
diers, more than three hun
dred thousand of their cars.
The demand for the car is just
as fresh, and just as vigorous,
today, as in the first year of
its existence.
The simple truth is, indeed,
that the war has given a new
interest and a new impetus to
that demand.
To the natural and normal
preference which the Ameri
can people always accord a
product which wins their good
will, has been added a strong
sentimental attraction.
The car is inseparably linked,
in the thought of thousands of
homes, with its fine and faith
ful performance in the service
of the nation.
The written and spoken word
of American army men, at
home and abroad, has given
the very name of Dodge
Brothers Motor Car a new and
a stirring significance.

And he has a personal magnetism
equalled by few men.
Spoke for Wanamaker.
When John Wanamaker became
a contender for the power of Mat
thew Stanley Quay and entered the
race for United States senator In
Pennsylvania, Hanson was one ot
the magic men brought into the
east to defeat Quay. He became
one of Wanamaker's leading spell
binders and spoke in nearly every
county in the state.
When F. Augustus Heime and
the other copper kings of Montana
entered a political contest for con
trol of the state, Hanson favored
the independents and became
Heinze's chief defender before min
ers' meetings and handling min
ers' meetings then was a pretty
rough job.
Supported by Labor.
Hanson followed Theodore Roose
velt on the conservation issue In
1912; in 1916 he was an independent
candidate for "the senate, but was
defeated by Wesley L. Jones.
The anomaly of Mayor Hanson's
position in the present strike, which
has brought him to the fore nation
ally, lies in the fact that his support
has always come from labor and
the radicals. He is more respons
ible for city ownership of street
cars" in Seattle than any other man.
He has preached public ownership
of public utilities for 20 years. As
a member of the Washington legis
lature he was largely responsible
for the adoption of the initiative,
referendum and recall. ,He also
drove horse racing from the state.

Naturally, loaded dice, beer-drinking

It stands, in their minds and
hearts, as a synonym for pluck'
and endurance, and ability, to
'"carry on" under the stress
of desperately discouraging
conditions;
So the war that curtailed pro
duction of the car, has now
conferred upon it a stronger
and more spontaneous admira
tion than ever.
More than ever is it apparent,
now that the American people
think of it as a stable and an
established value, to be bought
on its merits, and without a
moment's hesitation.-
Thus that national good will
which has become almost a
trade mark in Dodge Brothers

the highest point in their

Kaiser to go Back?
The powers which are at present
entertaining the kaiser in Holland
(for nobody of any political author
ity is taken in by the nonsense in the
press about his being there of his
own accord as an unwelcome intrud
er) are much more disposed to put
him back in Berlin than to tolerate
a social-democratic republic.
The labor agitation is not prevent
ing M. Fichon from making war on
the Russian revolution as openly as
Pitt did on the French revolution.
In short, Just as the 1815 allies,
after making war on Napoleon, in
the character of the knights of lib
erty against tyranny, promptly re
established the Bourbons when they
had disposed of the Corsican under
fretense of ridding the world of
acobinism, there is every probabil
ity that the blockade may be main
tained today with the object of re
storing monarchy in Russia, Poland.
Austria and Germany under pretense
of ridding the world of bolshevism.
Monarchy in U. S.?
Mr. Wilson can hardly become an
accomplice in these designs. . If he
did so, he would be entering on a
course which would point to nothing
short of the restoration of monarchy
in the United States and its imposi
tion on the rest of the American
continent -
That is not the interest of Ameri
can capitalism any more than it is
the interest of the American people;
for capitalism flourishes more luxur
iantly in republics than in monar
chies, and opens the political career
much more widely to the commer
cial talent. There is a notion preva
lent among the middle classes in
England, especially in the Liberal
middle classes, that kings do not
matter, as parliaments have deprived
them of their power. Those who
are inside the governing classes
know better.
Constitutioin to Colonies.
To avoid the same disruption
elsewhere, the British empire had to
giait to Canada, Australia and
South Africa constitutions which
assimilated them to the federated
republics and makes it impossible to
impose on them the monarchial con
ditions which still prevail in Lon
dan and were supreme until the re
cent revolutions in Berlin, Vienna
and St. Petersburg.
Before the war one could say that
the whole of North America and
Australia and a considerable part
of Africa had reached the federal
republican stage of political devel
opment, and were visibly lost fdr
ever to what all good Americans call
"this king business."
The French republic, one and in
divisible, is conceivable in Russia,
but hardly possible, whereas it is
nether conceivable nor possible in

Germany and Austria. We do not
want the Austrian empire, to which
provinces like Bosnia owe so much
of their material civilization, re
placed by half a dozen Mexicos, any
more than we want the Hapsburgs
back again. Yet even-a ramshackle
empire may be an advance on an
anarchy of warlike tribes.
Frontiers Unscientific.
No doubt . present frontiers are
unscientific and should be redrawn.
But the only scientific frontiers are
ethnographic frontiers; and until
the league of nations abolishes war
the only politically possible fron
tiers are strategic frontiers, which
are seldom ethnographic. Mean
while, the rule should be integration,
not disruption.
And here it may be asked: "What
is to happen the centralized tyranny
of the British isles? What about
Ireland? One-quarter of Mr. Wil
son's constituents are either Irish or
German; and, reasonably or unrea
sonably, they want hira to settle
both the German and Irish questions
democratically.
Irish Home Rule Nonsense.
Tho Irish question is very simple.
Home rule is nonsense, and has been
nonsense. Ireland must choose in
being in the British empire or out of
it If she chooses to be out of it,
it must be a nominally independent
state, like Greece or Belgium, whose
recent experienc of nominal inde
pendence and actual subjugation are
hardly encouraging. And to attain
this position the Irish must wait for
a miracle which will reduce the Brit
ish empire to impotence.
Separtist Ireland cannot count up
on the sympathy of the United
States, which in the Civil war of
1861, committed itself very properly
to the principle of unionism at all
costs. If, however, Ireland decides
to remain in the British empire voir
untarily, it may fairly claim to be in
it on the. same terms as England. It
cannot reasonably demand more, or
honorably less.. - ;
