What They win Do.

(TO the Mondamin Co,respondcnt)
Your school days now you surely rue
Or algebra you did not pursue;
There y marks the unknown quantity.
Had you perused you would plainly see
The answer to yonr sum ia thus
And often marked with minus, Plus,
You need not now your mind perplex
But mark dear Bates with ponderous X,
Your after years you should bemoan
Had you observed you would have known
Your ditch was traded, snapped outright.
A court house new was then in sight.
Now all is vanished, snapped in vain,
And you and may we'll com plain
OF trades thus made $, dark and sable,
But John, dear John, will POUND the table,
Dream not on and ponder SO;
Come, wake up. and learn to know
The voter oft makes tickle guess
And blindly marks his no with yes.
Thus power is sometimes thrust on him
Whose mental lamp has long grown dim,
Youth has flown, thoughts now are scared.
Mike, our Mike, will stroke hip beard.
Too often now the acts of man
Are governed hv a clique or clan
Whose only Impulse il 10 place
All power in their ignoble race.
If servants wish to stay in power
They must like spanics crouch and cover
Or out they go with biff and bang
And in 8 ips one who serves the gang.
U shame on men who thus defile
Their records for gangster's smile;
Better far their cloaks to draw
Aud stndy we'll our drainage law.
Redeem our fields from mud and swamp
And give cold heed to gangstcr pomp.
Zen thu uslnd blessings we will shout.
But the gang will kick them out.
For out they go and SO would you
II you needed not the unholy crew
Who man our little ship of state
And hold in hand each servants fate.
How long, how long will voters sleep
Ger scenes like these, where angels weep?
Come. up now with tremendous clang
And once for all dethrone the gang.
School Boy.

Our stores are we'll stocked and
Jour merchants enterprising.
They stand ready to do the

"As II Usetc Was"

In the olden time people were
taught to believe that Kings
were by the grace of God for
defence of the faith, and the
people submitted to the impo-
sition. History tells us that
when Israel asked for a king,
God sent them one to punish
them for their rebellion, to eat
up their substance and take
their young to fight their bat
ties. Royalty is a humbng. All
men are created equal. He is
royal only as he acts we'll his
part in the battle of life; the
the humble here may wear a
bright and jewelled crown over
yonder, while the royal crown
ed here may only ask for water
over there to cool his parched
tongue. God created of one
blood all the nations of earth,
how, then, came kings and sub
jects? There are but two ways
to make kings: First by cleo
ton; second by usururpatin. If
by election, then it presupposes
a reelection; if by usurpation,
who so mean as TO defend it?
It may be, and is, no doubt,
true that the nations may have
had some good kings, but it is
the exception and not the rule.
Take the record of a few of
these anointed king:
Henry l, died of gluttony.
Edward vi, died Of decline.
Charles I, on the scaffold.
George III, as he lived--crazy.
Henry VIII, with fat and fury
George ", glutony, drunken.
Henry VII, grasping, miser.
James l, drinking, and vice.
Charles II, died Of apoplexy.
Henry II, of broken heart.
William III, of consumption.
George l, of drunkenness.
Edward III, dotage and drink
Richard II, of starvation.
Henry vi, died in PRISON.
William the Conqueror, from
fat. and excessive drinking.
Henry w, died of fits, in
duced by intemperance.
This is the record of a few of
royal families, and a study of
their character, only convinces
us the more that our patriotic
fathers did a noble act in di-
vorcing America from system
! of government permitting the
existance of royalty in the new
world.
In this nation, dedicated to
God and freedom, every officer
should come to his office by an
election of the people, both
man and woman, and this rule
should apply to every officer in
both State, Nation and County,
from Road Supervisor to Presi-
dent of the United States, then
and only then will the people Of
this great Nation, with a big
IN" be free indeed.
