SONG OF THE PEOPLES.

We are the people, We, who broke
In ages past the stubborn yoke
OF Aryan kings, that fell upon
The painted walls of Babylon.
On Freedoms sacrfcial fire
We offered Nineveh and Tyre
Proud ancient temples, built to stand
For tyrant gods, have felt our hand,
And crumble now in dust that speaks
The vengeance man for bondage wreaks.
Rome, fallen, witnesses our might
To surge toward liberty and light,
And down the ages we have slain
The hope of every monarch vain
With power Pharaoh and Caesar fell,
And Alexander. Lo! the knell
OF tyranny for kings to heed
Rang long ago at Runnymede
And st. Helena stands to show
The way that lustful emperors 60.
Oh, blind. vainglorious, little Powers
Who dared to match your strength wit
ours,
Could you not see in centuries done
The way that all your mates have run?
Did you not know our mighty cause
Is Justice liberty, and laws
OF brotherhood. to make earth whole?
One King is ours. one hope. one goal!
We are the People! None prevail
With us! Gods Freedom is our Grail!
-Hilda Morris.

Huh! l suppose it was my fault
that we were upside down when the

through that dark tunnel" said Phil
GROSSLY.
"Of course it was. And it was
your fault that we missed that dane
ing show" declared Wantit Myway
IF you didn't throw those fits of
discomfort when things go other than
you expect, we wouldn't get upset"
And so browning Phil and Wantit
Myway quarreled all the way up the

What About the Law.


Beaver City, Neb., June 27.-To
the Editor of The Bee: What ails
the people Of Omaha? Is there no
law to punish crime so heinous
as committed by those policemen?
There is no stain blacker on the
pages of history in our state. If
there are no laws to reach them
after all the precious lives and
money spent for liberty and freedom
of the world, l would be in favor of
the people taking the law in their
own hands and resorting to mob vio-
lence. If Armstrong and Herdzina
could pull hemp for a short time it
might be useful lesson for future
police. l am quite disappointed in
Mr.. Ed P. Smith, mayor l did not
look for him to stand for crime in
it's vilest form
