COULD YOU BE SILENT?

Could you be silent when Oppression
Silent, when felons filch the peoples
rights?
Silent, when placemen crush the
masses low
With countless insults added to each
blow?
Must you be silent-fearing to Of
fend
Some mulcting rogue, on whom your
jobs depend?
Could you be silent, lest your craven
self
Might sacrifice somewhat of tainted
pef?
Will you be silent, make no move
protest;
Nor lend your voice to succor those,
distressed,
Lest you lose prestige, or some social
caste,
Or with red anarchists be mocking,
classed?
Can you be silent-ruthless- you
would,
When speech might grant mankind
some lasting good?
Would you not shout, with glad, in
trepid zeal,
To bring new blessings to the COM
monweal?
Shall you stand, dumb and doltish,
and not speak,
When words might hurl huge burdens
from the weak?
Afraid to speaker WELD a fame
tipped pen.
Or Zine up" for the sacred rights Of
men?
Should you be silent, when in far-off
lands,
Mail-fisted war-lords show their iron
hands?
Enlightened nations-should they, too,
stand mute
Nor deign to question, censure or
dispute?
Dare you be silent-belie your God
like face
Denying manhood, and the human
race,
Like wooden dummy-or blind poodle,
led
Exploiter's sport-still living, and
yet dead?

Alfred Henry Lewis gives his idea
of tory, and incidentally of Grover
Cleveland, in the current number of
Human Life: Men don't join par
ties, they are born into them. It is
written in a mans blood and bone at
birth whether he will be whig or tory.
What is the difference? Your natural
tory is one whose vast concern is re-
served for property; he believes in
the rights of things. Your native
whig is one whose first and warmest
though runs in favor of perishing
flesh and blood-he believes not in
the thing but in the man. If your
utter tory were afloat with a cargo
half bullion and half babies, and the
ship sprung a leak, he would throw
the babies overheard and save the bull
lion. If an utter Whig were at sea un-
der similar leaky. circumstances, he
would jettison the bullion and save
| the babies. Mr. Cleveland was
born tory. Mr.. Ryan is multi-mil-
| lionaire. Mr.. Cleveland, in all hon.
esty, aud because he is so constructed
that he can't help it, will listen first
when Mr.. Cleveland was in the White
House, he was visited by gentleman
who had come fresh from the west.
What are they saying about me in

Some of them are praising,' respond

curiosity ran away to brickbats rath-

when you named Mr. Priest for the
United States bench you listened to

Cockrell isn't worth dollar? Well?
