The Battle Hymn Of the BOOdegger

Onward, Christian soldiers!
Kick out the demon Rum!
Close up the licensed places
So we may sell you some!
Force the hateful liquor
Without the pale of law!
Fight the ordered system
With sand within your craw!
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Close up the cursed saloon
Make the old town drier
Than the sands upon the dune
Then we'll get our blessings
They'll come raining down in showers
You'll satisfy your conscience
While we'll be getting OURS!
Onward, Christian soldiers
Your best work you must give!
The tigers and bootleggers
Have got right to live.
Ball on these institutions!
Aye, onward with the dance!
Close up the licensed places
That we may have chance!
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Make this the garden spotw
Raise clover on our sidewalks
And places where tits not!
Dig up our eveed asphalts!
Make pastures for COW!
Let's turn to agriculture;
We're too pros'rous anyhow!
Onward, Christian soldiers
Tear down the throne of hell
That we may build another
That will serve US just as well!
What's the use of having taverns
AS they did in days of old?
Blind pigs will be much better
And, then they're not so bold.
Onward Christian soldiers
Until the vict'ry's won!
Fight our glorious battle
Until the day is done!
Then We'll be in clover
In gentle rosy bowers
You'll satisfy your conscience
And we'll be getting ours!

case to secure the horizontal s. per
cent raise.
The appearance OF the letter from
the stock brokers, the fact of thous-
ands Of bankers being under compul-
sion to write asking that congress- take
the rate making out Of the hands "
the commission, the fresh appeal to
the president and his Endorsement or
the plan, all tend to show that another
big fight on rates Is just ahead. IL
was stated In the New York World re-
peatedly during the tendency OF the
suit before the commission that the ad-
ministration Influence was in the di-
rection of a rate raise. II this proves
to be true then it is almost certain
that the plan for having concurrent
resolution adopted to settle the mat
ter will be brought UP again.
The activity In this direction makes
it also all the more probable that the
plan to have the commission authorize
raise In rates on the western roads
will not be abandoned at all.
In, the meantime the movement to
secure greater revenue by raising pas
senger rates all over the country is
we'll under way. The Increases made
last May are said to have added ma
terially to the revenues of the rail-
roads. Now the plan is to raise all
interstate rates to. at least PA cents.
This would catch the bulk of the BUSH
ness and especially that going to New
York and Chicago The business men
OF the smaller cities of the country will
not seriously object to this raise as 1t
will have tendency to lessen travel
to the largest Of the market centers.
