As an Iron County Boy Sees Him.

-~-
Old Saint Nick once grieved in his
home there below
For life On the Earth was getting too
slow;
The people were wandering from their
way
And owe mankind he was losing his
sway;
Many had stopped travelling their
way to the bad
This was what made the old devil mad.
His income was waning, so what could
he do?
He'd got in the mess and had to see
the game through.
He thought to establish a kingdom on
land
And put as its ruler all old tiendish
hand.
He wandered through Hades search
ing all around,
But none for the place there could be
found:
So up to the Earth he went searching
still
And soon he a across the old
'Kaiser Bill"
He thought to himself as he rubbed
his old shins
That the Kaiser and he looked almost
like twins,
Taking the Hun, he shook his old paw
And the things that he told him were
sure rather raw;
And the Kaiser was eager and follow.
ed him fast
And at the DEVILS proposals he stood
not aghast.
Now old Nick went back to his warn
coy den
Leaving the old Kaiser on Earth, The
Demon of Men.
But old Bill soon ruined the old Devil
And in Hellish deeds he put him Il
shame;
The crimes he committed got poor ole
Nick's goat
And caused Jumps Of dismay to arise
in his throat;
His conscience would trouble him, Il
kept him awake
30 he thought from the world the
Kaiser to take;
But he dared not invite him 10 hi,
home down below
For fear he would corrupt his angels
and destruction would SOW.
AS for association he there drew 9
line
When 1t came to that demon that livee
on the Rhine. j.,
The old Devil now saw the mistake h,
had made
In asking the Kaiser to come to hi
aid
Bill carried things on his own way !,
please
And annoyed old Satan with timber
ger cheese;
That he wanted tbs world the Devi
knew we'll
But he never supposed hs would rol
him Of hell;
30 he and bis army are all prepared
But by . cold fact they sre Away

Former Governor Glynn Gives a

The following article by Martin H.

of the present administration as a
''well-laid plot" and scores Wads-

Roosevelt for their criticism of Will

Today the people of this country
can be divided into two camps
Those who wanted war at any

And those who hoped for peace, if
peace could be maintained without
the sacrifice of national honor
Now, we are at war, and we have

ers of the war buzZards" trying to
gnaw the yitals out of our Comman-
der in Chief, while the great MAORI
ty of those who stood for peace while
peace spelled honor are upholding
the Presidents hands as Aaron and
Hur upheld the hands of Moses in
his battle with Amalek.
The present volcanic attack
against the war policies of President
Wilson is no haphazard incident 1t
is a well-laid plot, nicely trained and
strategically timed. Its purpose, no
matter how secretiye its sponsors,
how insinuating its methods, how Sc
ductive its arguments, is to give the
Republican party majority in the
next House OF Representatives and
to pave the way for a Republican
President in 1920. From a political
point of view this may be tolerable;
from a patriotic aspect, in a national
crisis like this, it is odious and de-
testablc
The business OF the Nation today
is to win the war, and the political
leaders, who for party gain or per-
sOnal aim lay the slightest obstacle
in the way Of the happy consumma-
ton of this business, clothe them
selves in a diabolical livery and sur
round their political Vaccinations
with a birthstone scent, a sulphurous
odor offensive to people who revere
patriotism in politics, but abhor
politics in patriotism
