"A JUDICIAL SAMSON"
Once upon time in far off cline,
So the good books say,
Lived man named Samson,
Remembered to this day.
For power over helpless aones,
I He had no rivals near,@
Until sweet Delilah sheared
Him Of his power SO dear.
And In his prime,
His power was divine,
That's what the good books say.
For regardless Of laws,
He tore apart lions jaws,
And left them bleeding by the way

And he even tore down temples,
So some folks relate,
And he also had the power
To lug off massive city gates.
Jut about then, he must have been,
The strongest man that ever trod

For he's the one who killed thousands
| With the jaw bone of an ass.
! But all this happened years ago,
And the world moves on apace;

He knows how to starve miners child

And his power is of such greatness,
That they get, no trial or bail. y
He can stab lady in prison,
Have a man shot in the back;
And upon poor helpless strikers,
Bring his own laws down with a

All hail to our strike buster,
| Breaking unions like window glass;
While roaring and painting, injunctions
granting,
With the jawbone of an ass.

Editor Of Free Speech:
/ infer from the merits of Brother
Bauer's last letter that it is a vain
attempt to answer my questions on
Spiritualism.
/ wish to inform Brother Bauer thai
he is entirely out of harmony with
his own conviction. He speaks sc
much about accepting truth, and seek
ling truth. AS truth is making mighty
conquests. But fear that he is still
digesting a great deal of ancient anC
modern chaf. So perceive that it ii
useless for me to prolong the discus
sion with one that is so inclined tt
escape the main issue, by the expires
sions of absurd accusation, ridicule
and wit. shall try and condense my
reply to his last letter as brief as pos
: sible. In the first place did not star
a religious question. simply defend
ed religious doctrine against unreas
enable attack. It was Brother Bauer
J that started religious question pure

SO many publications willing to fiji

Why is such the case? Because tn,
