The citizens of Canto, o., are
now busy studying the Ten Com
mandments. You can hear 'em
mumbling, as they walk absent
mindedly along the street, Thou
shalt not-thou shalt not--thou
shalt not''-just as they used to
do at Sunday school.
Why? Oh, they're just brush
ing up on municipal law.
Canton has new mayor, and
he says he's going to enforce the
Ten Commandments, whether
they're good law or not. And so
far, no leading citizen has threat
ened to take any of 'em to the
supreme court in test case,
even though 1t does seem very
unconventional to insist on obedi-
ence to the Decalog-in Canton.
Harry S. Schilling, the Decalog
burgomaster, doesn't mind that.
He's an extremely unconventional
person.
81 am still a socialist" says
Schilling softly, rising to the
height of his feet Ave and do
ing Colossus of Rhodes pose.
Whereupon comes a roar from
the Canton socialists, who have
read him out of the party after
electing him on a socialist ticket
That election occurred a year
ago, but Schilling has just taken
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-12-05

office. 1t is a pretty political
story.
The socialists put up Schill1ng,
and the reform people backed
him against Mayor A. r. Turn
bull, who had been mayoring
from time immemorial, or there
abouts. The vote was declared
tie. Thereupon Turnbull and
Schilling guessed on the number
of grains of corn In an ear, and
Turnbull, being the better guess
er, was declared elected, and kept
right on mayoring in the same
old way. to the joy of Canton's
Jungle" folk, and the chagrin of
the uplifters.
Then Schilling got sore and ap-
pealed to the courts. A few days
ago they decided that he was
legally elected, and 5000 citizens
flocked into the city council
chamber and saw to it that the
hostile council approved SchiI-
ling's bond and let him take the
office.
The socialists dropped him be-
cause he had gone back on his
word to abide by the ear-of-corn
guessing contest.
The town now expects a thor
ough overhauling.
Mayor Schilling is a printer by
trade.

THE LAST NIGHT.
Night falls, and with each lingering, lettering
Of daytme's radiance left, the whose doom
His peer have fixed for him looks dimly out
Through bars of steel upon lasting world.
With mind blank and soul confusion tossed,
He feels, never else, his heplessness-
Feels with his duled, enfeedbed
the last hours of world from which he's spurned.
Tomorrows dawn too swift to come, brings
The dead march to the shabby builded thing,
Man-schemed, man wrought-the engine of his death
The gallows, rudely reared beyond those bars,
From whose unhalowed arm he soon shall hang.
Shall hang! Oh ignominious exit from
The stage which he played his wretched part
And which, cleared for him. shall be the scene
OF action like to his, but with the parts
Performed by other actors earth's great scheme
Allowing great climax to
A murderer! knows he was And vet
The love of life within himself is not
An easy thing to cast aside-the hope
OF heavenly pardon, remote in this
Dark hour, last and feebly made attempt
To gain sanctuary, and to
From mans damnation immortal soul,
Throws the unfortunate with tremulous plea
Upon his Bonded knees and Mid the dark
OF his last living night he pours his
Into the ears of One, invisible
But who has even been cleaning light
Amid the deepest earthly gloom, and prays
His Savior to receive his SHINING self.
Who knows what Joy, what peace. what saving hope
May be his who in the shall die
By human agency upon tree
When in his last hours vigil he shall see
Perhaps through penitential tears the words
OF Christ, accused of crime, hanged-crucied:
Come unto Me- heavy laden;
Come unto Me, and will give you rest"
