Would you live a life in q single hour?
And help run things with a birthstone
power?
Understand
You can do all this in our picnic free
By taking your place with Jim and me
Out here on the firing line
Your face is as gray as the sands at noon
That's right.
All the blood has gone to thy heart, pol
troon-
But you'll fight.
When the click of the bullet brings fate's
decree
1t will tune thy nerves to the major key
Thatsounds on the firing line.
You may give one thought to the friends
away
No tears.
The cheers
Will Lift you up to another sphere
The past, my son, will be out of gear
With you on the firing line.
Are you murderer at heart?
Would you kill yon man where the gray
rocks part
Thy foe?
A puff OF smoke: jarring shock:
A Mauser's mark on thy rifle stock
You have on the firing line
Can yon joke In the face OF death, my boy,
Can you laugh when the dead on our flanks
deploy
With him?
You can? You lie! When the white flags
We can dig for Jim n soldiers grave
He is dead on the firing line,
You have caught the fever Of battle now,
You would fight the world in a deadly row
II you could.
You would carry our flag through the
furnace of fame,
You would charge yon mountain of fire and
flame
Ahead of the firing line.
To-day has made you hero rare
With us.
You fght as if you did not care
A cuss
For bullet storm or bursting shell
For all that constitutes a hell
Along on the firing line.
This day lay, has made you n mana man
Although we can scarcely understand
Why thus
You can show the grit of a veteran old,
And smile at death as you stubbornly hold
Your place on the firing line.
But the lessons Of war we are learning, nv
lad, ~
We two.
The diplomas should not be bad
Or few.
And when you get home-my God! a ball
Has given to me-and to you our all

finest organization of its kind in the United
States) Were in the advance
The Encampment was well attended and
many were the old stories told over, and many
an old eye grew brighter as its owner told of some
deed of herosm or some unusual hardship which
had come under his observation. Comrades met
for the first time since the war was over. As the
years go by our numbers grow a little less each

as he knew the audience wanted to
hear Mr.. Raymond, the next Congress
man from the First district, who. he
said, would at least try to do something
for the benefit OF the workingman.
He also asked that they support Judge
Holt and, above all. that peerless leader
of Democracy, William Jennings Bry-
an.
Chairman Bentz, at the conclusion
of Mr.. Howard's speech, introduced
Judge w. E. Raymond, the Democratic
Congressional nominee, and the candi-
date received an enthusiastic greeting
from the large audience which, despite
the raw air, had remained crowded
about the stand for over an hour, I'M
dergoing great personal discomfort
cheerfully that the facts about current
issues might be learned.
After expressing his deep personal in
terest in Mr.. Towards remarks, Mr..
Raymond began his address by con-
sideration of economic questions in
their relation to both capital and labor,
and handled his subject splendidly.
His address was decidedly argumenta-
tive, but was eouched in a converse
tional form, easily understood and
readily comprehended by every one of
his eager listeners. He was particu-
larly happy in his comparison of pres
ent prices of commodities and neces-
saries, as compared with figures pre-
vailing before the monopolistic era,
and his demonstration that labor had
secured no net advantage was a happy
and logical one. Mr.. Raymond pur-
sued this line of argument for some
time, taking up in turn the various
features of public interest, and discuss
ing them earnestly and convincingly,
yet pursuing an eminently moderate
and reasonable course. His appeal was
to reason and his citations to facts,
and no effort whatever was made to
excite or rely upon party prejudice. 1t
was calm, dispassionate and careful
review of existing conditions and their
causes, the general outlines Of former
addresses in this vicinity being closely
followed
Passing to other issues, Mr.. Raymond
discussed the governmental policy
with reference to the Philippines, and
most emphatically dissented from the
course of the administration, charac-
terizing it as wholly un-American, and
in conflict with republican ideas. He
treated this topic, with it's many close
ly interviewer branches, with much
detail, and his demonstration of the
more than error of the administration
was happily depicted. His conclusion
was that Mr.. Bryan was the only man
that could bring about a return to ira
ditional policies and Constitutional
government, and his appeal for a pop
ular verdict in behalf of popular rights
was an earnest one and was enthusi-
astically received
Mr.. Haymond's address was digni-
fed, able and earnest one, and that he
made good impression upon his large
! audience was amply attested both dur
ing and at the close of the meeting.
Mr.. Raymond leaves this morning
for Tyler county, which he will canvass
in company with Hon. ]. V. Blair, and
where he is assured of large and at
tentive audiences.
