In case you've forgotten me;
You say you're needing men of Drawn

So here are my credentials
And I'm ready to go today.
Born in dear old Kansas
In eighteen and ninety-two;
Reared mid rugged rocks and hills,
My muscles. are strong and true.

But your deputy said no.
So start today to do my bit
Wherever you'd have me go.

For all understand, know;
World freedom is all we're asking,
So let's go and strike the blow

Bring billions of slaves to light
And teach to ev'ry king on earth
That freedom, not might, makes right.
AS docile as a man-o-war
At rest on quiet sea

To join in the common plea,
And woe to any man who dares
Molest our freedom true
I'll eat the dust of any land

the mayor and board of city commits
sioners yesterday morning, and an

mate who might be elevated to that
position, stated that an assistant chief
of police or captain was being con-
sidered, and that such an appointment
would probably be made, but" he

the place. We do not desire to take
any chances
