GILBERGHAS QUIT
"o More Politics or Socialism
or Union Labor for Him.
Back to Tailor's Bench After
Unselfish Effort at Uplift.
Ike Gilberg has quit the uplift. The
well known Socialist worker and or
ganizer and lecturer has given public
notice that he had severed his con
nection with all and every kind of or
ganization and henceforth he would
confine his activities to the making of
clothes and the cutting of garments.
This decision of Mr. Gilberg is more
far reaching than would be supposed
at first consideration, tie has been
connected for years with every kind of
organization on earth for the better
ment of the toiling masses. Politics,
organized labor, unionism, socialism,
public welfare, and seventeen other
t'"J" " devices for the cause of those
that mourn has been Ike's long suit.
He has left his sewing machine in the
furrow and his shears in the smoke
house and gone forth on the streets
and byways to labor for the masses
against the classes. He has conducted
night schools and day schools and
schools at noon. He has lectured and
harangued, lilted and saved, pulled
and pleaded. Atlas, holding the world
on his shoulders, had nothing on Ike.
And now, like Atlas, the tailor has
gone on a strike, and left the world to
fall from its place to wherever it
wants to light.
Ike is through. He has deserted the
hall and the curb and the public place
for the tailors bench. And his old
haunts and companions shall know
him no more. He says It don't pay.
The world don't want to be saved. The
working classes, like Republics, are
ungrateful. He has figured it out that
you can't lift people who don't pull
their weight in the boat. That the
Socialist propaganda reads alright in
the books, but it don't feed the little
ones at home. That the common peo
ple can yell hosannah on one day and
make a cross on the second day there
after. No man since Broussell braved the
French princes has worked harder
than Ike for the common people, but
he is going to quit now.
Anyway, Ike says he is going to
quit. He is going to try. But the call
of the forum, the sigh of the op
pressed, the sounds of the workers in
distress may call him back. But this
morning he quit. Gave it out cold
that the city election and the socialist
movement and 'the union labor cause
and organized charity would, have to
get along as best thev can without
him.
But in all seriousness, it is a fact
that this Semite tailor has done all
that a man might do for his fellow
man. He stored his mind with the
knowledge of many books. He worked
in the daytime for others and at night
for himself. He threw himself heart
and soul into every movement for the
betterment of the condition and the
enlightenment of the workingman.
He labored hard for the education of
the immigrant boys newly landed on
these shores. He took the side in pol
itics of the man who stood for the
poor. And he did all this unceasingly,
unselfishly. " He asked for nothing for
himself, and took nothing. He grew
poorer day by day in order to try to
make the poor man richer. It was
Quixotic and fine and ideal. But it did
not pay, not even in thanks or appre
ciation. So Ike has quit. He is en
titled to the rest from these labors and
if he never pulls another stroke in the
uplift boat he ought to have a silver
cup in the hall of fame built for the
poor man's friend.
GUTS CITY REVENUE.
State Auto Tax Makes Difference
One-Half.
of
The city commission publicly dis
approved of the state automobile law
yesterday and passed a resolution
cutting the city motor tax by more
than one-half. The legislature passed
a state law for a license on automo
biles, thereby depriving the city of
several thousand dollars revenue. The
law goes into effect July 1, 1913. and
will necessitate a double tax on all
Kansas machines.
The city commission was unanimous
in condemning the injustice of this
proceeding, and agreed that the city-
tax, which has hitherto been $3.50 be
reduced to one dollar for all new ma
chines purchased before the first of
July the resolution to take effect im
mediately. The revenue derived from automo
bile taxes in 1912 was about $250; only
one license was obliged to be pur
chased. The state provides for an an
nual tax of $5.
Pictures of Hikers.
New Tork, March 21. Thomas Edi
son enlisted himself in the cause of
votes for women yesterday, when he
made talking picture records of the
Washington hikers for theatrical ex
hibitions throughout this country
and Canada.
More Smallpox Cases.
Washington, March 21. With two
new cases of smallpox reported in the
last few hours, physicians today re
newed their activity with serum and
needles. While the health department
of the District affects not to be alarm
ed over the situation, nevertheless the
most careful precautions are being
taken and the vaccination of govern
ment employees and others is proceeding.
