winning THE WAR
IS ONLY THING
TO Be DONE NOW

81 want to bring home to you the
fact that the work of the churches,
the work of the schools, all the work
of your professional and business men
is nothing compared to the tremen-
dous, compelling duty of winning the
war. l hope also to pay my respects
to the people who caused this war,
and who are doing all they can to pro-
long 1.-THE miserable skulking paci-
fists Whatever may be your aims,
let the war be your first concern; for
if Germany wins the war your aims
will be as worthless as your services
now Some of you think, no doubt,
that when you have bought few
Thrift Stamps, or Baby Bond or two,
you have done your duty. Some would
even tack some kind of business con-
sideration to the patriotic work they
are doing They are like the woman
who published card thanking all
who sent flowers and condolences on
the occasion of her husbands death,
and closed by saying: II have also a
SOW and nine pigs for sale Wake
up, Americans! What will your bust
ness, your church or school be worth
to you if we do not win this war?

namby-pamby pacifsts that brought
on this war Germany was led to be
lieve that we were a soft, easy, sloth-
loving people, thinking more of our
ease and dollars than any great ideals
Oh, we were lulled to sleep by that
devilish nonsense of "A million men
would spring to arms in a night to
defend our country. We can win this
war. There is just one way to win
it soon That way is for every man,
every woman, every business to do all
they can in every way they can to
speed up the work. If Germany knew
now that all our manhood, all our en-
ergies, all our money were fully en-
ployed in winning this war it would
be over in six months. But so long
as every little obstructionist wants to
fiddle with his little fiddle, so long as
paid pan-Germans infest our meet
ings, and report our work to that nest
of devils, Prussian autocracy, just SO
long will they underestimate the in
strength of America.

CACOETHEs scRIBENDI

My stenographer refuses to do
Typing for the Muses..
For she says: 'When men write
poetry,
It's mostly awful 'slush.'
And while, thank God! I'm pure,
Judge,
I'm not SO very sure, Judge,
That what l have in mind to write
Won't make some women blush.
So, the comeback to the Come
Back
Won't perhaps look very pretty.
But they tell me that the old boys who
Wrote verses years ago,
According to biographers,
Had very few stenographers;
At least they didn't use them
For stenograph, / know
| find my education
Has been woefully neglected,
Especially in matters
Appertaining to the Muse;
But where imagination
And quick wit are expected,
Pm surely up against it,"
AS they say, "to beat the Jews!"
DEPRESSION a la Francois Villon)
(By the way, that "loaf-and-jug stuff, -
And the incidental business,
The "Goo-goo eye" and "hug-stuff,'
Pm supposed to be indulging in
Beside the sylvan stream"
When, thro' with duties at the mine,
fill my date with "the woman di-
vine,"
And talk erOtic platitudes
And live old Omar's dream
Now, then!
I'll try to make your wish come true,
If l may be quite certain
That when I'm ''yanked up" by the
Cops"
And brought before Your Honor,
I'll only get lecture sometimes char
acterized
AS "Curtain,"
And not be fined and branded
AS a Hercules Don Juan-er."
But just the same thank you
For the happy jolt you gave me,
And I'm glad l sent the money back,
Fen tho it left me poor.
I can't find another jingle
In my sordid mind to save me.
I appreciate your friendliness,
Of that be always sure.

In certain districts the socialists

Hence the primaries this year will be
