THE KAISER TALKS TO HFLT

The kaiser called the Devil up
On the telephone one day:
The girl at central listened to
What the kaiser had to say.
"Hello." she heard the kaiser's voice
"Is old man Satan home?
lust tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone
The Devil soid "HelIo" to Bill
And Bill said chow are YOU?
I'm running now he'll on earth
So tell me what to do"
"What can 7 do?" the Devil said.
"Mv dear old Kaiser Bill?
If there's thing 7 can do
To help you. sure 7 will"
The Kaiser said "Now listen.
And 7 will try to tell
The wav that am running
On earth a modern hell
GIVE saved for this for MANY years,
And I've started out TO kill
That it will be modern lob
You leave to Kaiser Bill
"Mv army went through Rc1riun
Shooting women and children down
We tore up all the country
And blew up all her towns.
"Mv Zens drorned bombs on cities
KILLING both old and Young.
And those the 7enne1ins didn't get
Were taken ONT and hung

With the aid of poisoned gas;
The Be1gians. darn 'em. stopped us,
And wouldn't let us pass.
envy submarines are devils
Why, you should see them fight!
They go sneaking through the sea
And sink ship at sight.
"I was running things to suit me.
Till a year or so ago
When a man named Woodie Wilson
Wrote to me to go more slow.
"He said to me me- Dear William.
We don't want to make YOU sore,
So be sure, and tell your U-boats
To sink our ships no more.

So, dear Bill it's up to you,
And II you do not stop II
You may have to fight us. too.
ct didn't listen to him.
And he's coming after me
With million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea.
"Now, that's why I've called you
Satan,
For I want advice from you;

lust what ought to do"
Answer
envy dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make 1t hotter
Than I for you in hell
"I've been mean old Devil,
But not near as mean as you
And the minute that you get here

'I'll be ready for your coming
And I'll keep the fires all bright
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.

majorities in House and Senate out
of power and this year. IL the ma
Jorities are repeated or enlarged, the
opinion will prevail that the Demo-
cratic cause is hopeless and that 1920
will be a Republican year.
In Dauphin county 1t would be
surprising If this does not prevail.
1t certainly is not an "off year"
locally with such important city and
county offices to fill as now appear
on the ballot. National government
is no better than local government,
taking it by and large, and by
the same token If the local govern
ment goes Democratic in a Republi-
can district the probabilities are
that the voters are none too en-
thusiastic over the party's national
politics. But here we have a nor
mally Republican district in which
we are to elect important officials
this year, the candidates named are
all above reproach, we'll known and
able. The rank and file is content
with the party management and the
district is unalterably opposed to the
Wilsonian administration. All of
which spells a great Republican VIC
tory in November as a harbinger of
what the city and county will do
next year.

THOSE LOANS

: OF a single objection, so far
M as has come to public notice,
has been raised against any of
the four loans to come before the
people in November.
This is remarkable, considering
that numerous opponents have turn
ed UP to fight almost every public
improvement measure ever before
the people.
But for all that we should not sit
back, fold our hands and imagine
that the loans will be approved.
1t is common knowledge that
more loans of this nature have been
lost by inattention and indifference
than by actual opposition. Very
often it is necessary to call the vot-
ers' attention to them in order to
have him vote on them at all, and
in most cases all that he needs is
a word of that nature.
Harrisburg voters believe in their
town and they may be depended
upon to do their part on election
day, once they are fully informed.
Some measures must be taken to get
the loans into the minds of the men
as they enter the booths.
No other form of electioneering
will be necessary, but that item is
important.

CAMPAIGN OPENS

even those who were its most bitter

loyalty to the nominees.
AS Emerson Collins, Deputy At
forney General, said in his address
before the meeting. there really is
no such thing as an "off year" in
politics, and his assertion that the
setHrns of the coming election will
be an indication of the results of

unQuestionably true. Republicans,

BAD LEADERSHIP

"HE effects of bad leadership in
labor disputes is shown in the
recent troubles at Waynesboro
where a number of men highly re-
spected in the community, men of
families and some of them property
owners, were induced to become SO
disorderly under the melting influ-
ences of an imported strike leader
that they have. since been sentenced
to Jail and are serving their terms.
They smashed property and assault
ed persons who had done nothing to
oppose them other than to insist
upon working when an imported
agitator had put strike order into
effect.
Since that time this so-called
leader has been dropped from the
union and has left town.
The heads of the union discovered
their mistake, but the damage had
been done. Now, while men who,
under ordinary circumstances, are
peace-loving and law-abiding are in
Jail, the fellow really to blame for
the whole thing has gone scot free
to join some other organization and
stir up the same kind of trouble
elsewhere. Pity for those who were
misled will do no good, but we all
may take a lesson from Waynes-
boro's experience.

Poe, Poet of October
[From the Denver Timesl

Within the month has come and
gone the SEVENTEEN anniversary of
that melancholy time in Baltimore
when Edgar Poe, picked up on the
street, died in a public hospital and
was buried in churchyard to which
he was a stranger, later to be hon
ored with a pitifully inadequate
monument contributed by the school
children of his adopted city. A po-
etic interest attaches to the month
of his death, for October is en-
trancingly entwined with his i'm
mortal verse. No one can think
musically of October without think
ing of Poe and of his most imme-
mortal year,"
Poe belongs with those mountain
peaks of American genius that grow
larger and more sublime as they
recede from view, after the manner
of mountains in general. In his
lifetime and long after his death it
was impossible to advert to his
memory without the feeling of
apologetic deprecation; but as time
has flown without Offering any rival
to his peculiar note of melody and
verbal splendor, we realize how
wonderful his achievement was, yet
how remote from life and from the
land and even the age in which he
lived. He "resembled nothing that
is ours" He sang and dreamed as
he might have done anywhere and
in any time.
There was nothing about this man
but was strange. He was as weird
and detached as his characters were
or his art His curious desire to
confuse the facts about his birth;
his inexplicable entrance into the
army and even West Point, where
he was expelled at his own instance;
his marriage to his cousin when she
was only 13; his penchant for writ
ing to strangers, coupled with his
aversion to companionship after he
had made acquaintances; his om-
nivorous reading without being
touched by it except for the mere
furnishing of his literary equipment;
his passionate craving for sympathy,
taken in connection with his utter
aloofness from our common human
habits of friendship-all stamp him
as one of the strangest beings that
ever dwelt a little while on this
bank and shoal of time-a sort OF
wild bird from Eidolon, on it's way
to that distant Aidenn.
