VORÖLD.
Winnipeg, 18. marz, 1919
Bréf til V oraldar
Herra ritstjóri:
Nú þegar blaðið Yoröld er að
byrja sitt annað ár, finst mér sem
kaupanda og lesanda hennar,
verði að þakka þér innilega fyrir
lesturinn. f>að er nú eina blaðið
á voru hjartkæra móður máli, sem
heldur í endann á móti þeim heið-
urshjónunum! Gulltönn og Hnefa.
Og mættu bæði þér og blaðinu
auðnast langir lífdagar, til bless-
unar landi og lýð.
það er víst ekki nema sann-
gjamt að minnast ofurlítið á hin
blöoin. Fátt um Kringlu; það
þekkja allir þá gömlu afturhalds
skottu, þar sem hún læðist um
bygðirnar, að lítil líkindi eru tdl
að hún vinni mikið mein, enda er
nú víst mikið farið að draga úr
henni nú á dögum, og segja það
fróðir menn, að hún sé nú lítið
- orðið annað enn skuggi, hjá því
sem áður var, þar sem hún hafi
gengið “ljósum iogum” á hverju
heimili, eins og kirkjublöðin, og
hafi mönnum á stundum veitt all-
erfitt að verjast ásóknum hennar,
eða reka hana af höndum sér. Nú
eru margir lausir við þá leiðu
fylgju.
Margur þykist eiga Lögbergi
grátt að gjalda fyrir svikin um og
eftir síðustu sambandskosningár
og allri hinni óskiljanlegu og ó-
drengilegu hegðun blaðsins frá
þeim degi að það gaf sig þeim
vonda—mástað á vald. Ritstjóri
þess er á skónálabeinum yfir því
að eitthvert los er að komast á nú-
verandi mannfélags byggmgu,
þetta völundarsmíði veraldarinnar
sem frá ómuna tíð og fram á vora
daga, hefir leitt af sér mestu
eymdina og bölið, sem gengið hef-
ir yfir mannkynið. Ritstjórinn
sýnist æfinlega á báðum áttum, í
hvaða máli sem er—á yfirborði.
Hann virðist á stundum halda
fram stefnum í blaðinu sem hon-
um eru ógeðfeldar, en sem hann
hyggur að lesendum falli í geð, ef
hann heldur að þær séu ófram-
kvæmilegar. Á meðan hann hélt
að allar réttar kröfur þjakaðra
þjóða yrðu brotnar á bak aftur,
með hervaldi og harðúð, bar hann
sig mjög mannlega og lést vera
málsvari hinna starfandi meðlima
þjóðfélagsins. En nú þegar al-
þýða landanna er að sameina sig
gegn hinum óhreinu öflum myrkr-
anna, svo hryktir í stoð hverri
undan afli fyrstu áhlaupa, ber
hann sig all aumlega og vill ekki
“sjá höggna í sundur hverja stoð
sem himnana ber, ’ ’ þessa líka dýr-
legu himna.!
Herra Bíld. telur sig líklegast
ekki óbjörtustu stjörnuna þar, og
skyldi það nú einhverntíma koma
fyrir að hann hrapaði ofan úr
þeim háa himni, sem hánn tollir í,
tel eg, fyrir mitt leyti, ein mýrar
ljósinu færra í þeirri forarvilpu,
iem reynt er að véla sálir og sann-
færingu iranna í.
Sínum augum lítur hver á silf-
rið, og svo fer þeim, skáldinu og
hugsjónamanninum þorsteini Er-
lingssyni og fasteignasalanum og
ritstjóra Lögbergs, Jóni Bíld.
þorsteinn sér og sýnir fyrirkomu
lagið eins og það er, fult svívirð-
inga og lasta, í hans augum eru
þessir himnar ekki fegri en svo, að
undan þeim beri'að fella stoðirnar
svo þeir hyynji.
Bildfell virðist aftur á móti
finna náð hjá gullkálfinum, aðal
átrúnaðargoði þessara alda, og vill
ekki fyrir neinn mun missa undan
honum lappirnar. Maðurinn get-
ur ekki til þess hugsað að breyting
verði á núverandi mannfélagsskip-
ulagi, sem merkir ekkert annað en
að hann er enginn umbóta maður,
en í meira lagi hræddur við ár-
roða nálægrar framtíðar.
Eg hygg að engar óvenilegar
breytingar séu í nánd, heldur svo
víðtækar og þróttmiklar, að gull-
kálfurinn verði brotinn í mél og
molunum dreift víðsvegar út un
arinn, sem notaður hefir verið ti) j
löndin, eins og vera ber,—og ham ]
að lumbra á þjökuðum lýð, þega |
hann heimtar réttlæti, verði þrif '
inn af valdhafanum, og hann lát ]
inn fara eitthvað þá leiðina, ser ]
Bildfell hefir verið að reyna að j
koma Voröld, en sem hann er nf I
sjálfur að hafna sig með Lögbergi j
Svo kvað þorsteinn:
“þar glitrar vor marggylta mann
félags höll,
sem mæðir á kúgarans armi,
sem rifin og fúin og rammskekt
er öll
og rambar í helvítis barmi.
þar stendur bráðum ekki steinn
yfir steini—í þeirri byggingu.
Nú eru dregnar svo ákveðnar og
skýrar merkjalínur, að bezt mun
vera að standa heill og óskiftur
öðruhvoru meginn. Að ætla sér
að vera með aðra löppina, uppí á
goðastalli miljóna-mæringanna, en
með hma niðri í svellistíu alþýð-
unnar, getur ekki farið vel. Bil-
ið þar á milli er það breitt, að það
rífur, að minsta kosti hvern með-
alskussann úr augnakollunum.
Lengi lifi Yoröld.
