The Charge Against Him.

Before the magistrate the defendant
was charged with being drunk and in
capable. He was stranger in the
district, but he was most acutely in
dignant that he should be suffering
the humiliation Of his present position.
"The constable seems very certain
about everything connected with my
case" he sneered, "but there is one
weak point in his evidence Why
lmpressively-"does he not call his fell
low officer to corroborate what he
says? His worship turned an inquir-
ing look upon the policeman, who vain
~ endeavored to conceal an expansive
smile behind an ample but for that
purpose all too small hand. There's

HE HAS WHEELS m HIS HEAD

HE HAS WHEELS IN HIS HEAD
By HENRY SLADE Corr.
He has wheels in his head; and the journals purr
And the wheels in his head go round
And the pinons clatter and whiz and whir
And the wheels in his head 90 round
And he says that the color Of blood is red,
In the toi]er, or in the gentry bred,
And he won't let dead wrong bury it's dead
And the wheels in his head go round and round.
He has wheels in his head; he's radiant crank,
And the wheels in his head go round
And he looks at humanity, stricken and blank,
And the wheels in his head go round.
And he says that dead sure wrong is wrong,
Though backed by endorsement and hailed by strong
And he II fight it wherever it goes along
And the wheels in his head go round and round.
He has wheels in his head: he's pioneer,
And the wheels in his head go round.
And the triumphant parties are far IN the rear,
And the wheels in his head go round.
But his voice is "a voice in the wilderness,
AS he glorfes truth and denounces duress,
And he struggles for fairness und righteousness
And the wheels in his head go round and round.
He has wheels IN his head; leading Liberty's van
AS the wheels in his head go round,
He battles for justice for suffering man.
AS the wheels in his head go round.
And soon shall the forces OF righteousness stand
Where he is toiling in loneness of hand,
And his thoughts shall take fixture in all the land
AS the wheels of the Nation go round and round
But the wheels shall be stopped in his poor weared head
Never more to go round and round
And the that led out toward the light shall be dead
Ere the wheels Of the Nation go round.
Crank, idiot, anarchist, whiting more
His all too late Freedom s hosts shall adore
While others still leading out of yore,
And the worlds axles go round and round.

There is pitched battle on be-
tween the Pitchfork Senator and
"Old Pitchfork. The fracas start
ed when Mr.. Tillman asked if the
government could possibly get along
without the revenue coming from
the sale of liquid refreshments in
prohibition states. The senator la
ter withdrew his question and pre-
sented a bill providing for the dis
continuation Of government protec-
tion Of bootleggers in prohibition
territory, and prohibiting the i'm
portation of liquors into such states.
The "demon rum' is fighting back,
Of course. Which OILY goes to show
that it is a hypocrite. For it's
greatest objection to prohibition is
that bootleggers follow it. And
it spends money like water to ham,
per every enterprise that tends to
cripple or do away with the very
bootleggers to whom it so seriously
objects.

The following is a recent dispatch
from Knoxville, Tenn: "A COM
parison Of the first two weeks of
Knoxville as dry city with Knox
vile when licensed saloons existed
shows some interesting figures.
With saloons in Knoxville, the num-
Der of arrests on all charges ranged
from $50 to 100 a week. The last
week before the saloons went out
there were $50 arrests. In the first
week Of saloonless Knoxville there
were 80 arrests, but this was a high
figure because of the fact that a
great quantity Of liquor in jugs
was sold October 81, the last day of
saloons. Saturday night, the night
when there used to be about 30 ar
rests, there were only 3. The Sec
ond week showed only 50 arrests,
or less than one-fourth the number
with saloons.'
