WE'LL "HOCK" DER KAISER

Peel forth old bell, your music sweet
AS in the days of yore
For soon again you'll give the count,
With Germany on the floor.
We're going to "Hock" der Kaiser,
His son and all the rest;
And then again we'll live and reign
In this land among the blest.
Just wait until our Sammies meet you
And clasp you by the hand,
The sea will smell like cabbage
And saur kraut on the land.
There comm Bill, million strong,
The boys are on the way
And when they get whack at you
The duece will be to pay.
There on their way to Berlin,
The city you call thine;
And when the sammies meet you,
They'll take you down the line
Old St. Helena's waitin'
And the reception will be grand
Napoleon, he's still there
And welcomes you to. his land
And there you can live forever,
Your reign will be supreme;
But you won't have no navy,
Nor little submarine.
And there we'll "Hock"'der Kaiser,
And the ticket we will lose,
We will sail away with an air SO gay
And let the Kaiser snooze.

ly looking towards regulations OF

should rest where it belongs-on the
party in power.
AS viewed from a neutral stand
point the most disgraceful thing OF
the specia! session of the Legislature
was the appearance on the floor of the
House and Senate of Federal office
holders lobbying against administra-
ton measures and seeking to discredil
the Governor during a crisis. In
marked contrast to the action of these
men, was the attitude of the Repub-
lican members of both Senate and
House. They held it was no time for
cheap politics and stood back of the
Governor and the measures which he
deemed necessary for the protection
of life and property. But for the 10y
ality, the patriotism and the fairness
of the Republican members. this state
today would be in position of big
city infested with an incendiary gang
and all water mains frozen.
When it comes to standing firmly
for law and order the Republican
party can always be counted on bein..
in front hanging to the steering wheel
1t was only through the efforts of the
Republican members of the House and
Senate joining with the conservative
Democrats that bill for state po.
lice, to take the place of the militia
now called into service was passed
The majority of the Democrats in the
House and nearly majority in the
Senate were opposed to any kind OF
constabulary measure.
