The Ninety and Nine.

There are ninety and nine that work
and die
,An want and hunger and cold,
That one may live in luxury,
And be Tapped in the silken fold;
And ninety and nine in their novels
bare,
And one in a palace of riches rare.
From the sweat of their brow the
desert blooms,
And the forest before them falls;
Their labor has built the humble
homes
And the cities with stately halls.
And the one owns cities and houses
and lands,
While the ninety and nine have empty
hands.

lieve in God, but I've got ten
times more respect for an honest
lnidel than | have for these-here
old mealy-mouthed, double-faced
darned 'hypocrites who make up
a big part of the modern church.
Socialism is really and truly de-
manding the things that Christ
advocated, while the so-called
church of Christ is bitterly op-
posing them. The church has
drifted away from the teachings
OF its Lord and Master to such an
extent that if He should appear
on earth today and preach the
same gospel He preached before,
His church would be the first to
cry, Cruelty Himn' No doubt
about. that.
An honest and unprejudiced
survey Of the whole situation has
forced me to the conclusion that
the Democratic party and both
wings Of the Republican party
are abject slaves and servants to
the money power and the Pope
of Rome. The Woodpilers, the
Grinnygrunts and the Teddytads
are all willing and anxious to
swap principle for pie. They will
trade, traffic or fuse; buy, beg or
steal-anything to get votes. And
no matter which of the gang gets
in, the result will be the same.
Wall Street will continue to be
the capital Of the nation; drones
and deadbeats will feast and
honest men will starve.
Therefore don't call me a Re-
publican any more. And, for the
Lords sake, don't call me a
Democrat. If you want to call
me anything, call me a Socialist.
