THE OLD POLITICIANS

1HL aOLD FOLll1ClANS?. y? .ye, "a
State Senator Ole Ettestad of North
Dakota livened up the League legis-
lative caucus recently with few
verses in which he paid his respects
to the politicians. The League senator
would probably deny that he was
a poet or even the son Of a poet,
but poetry appears to be in the same
condition as politics. The politicians
have behaved SO badly that the farm
ers are taking the job away from
them, and now it looks as if the
farmers would have to write most of
their own poetry, too, because the
poets refuse to turn out the right kind
of stuff. Here is the way the senator
puts it.:
The farmers been silent for many a
4 So the old politicians have nothing
to fear
He's been told how to farm, and how
; he should vote; ~.
And nobody worried when he was
the goat.
They. have told how. the land the
h., moisture would keep
If he plowed this same land about
eight inches deep;
And when he should harvest, and
when he should sow,
If much larger crops he wanted to
grow. ~.
He's been told how to pack, and how
he should plow;
They've told of the profit in milking
a COW; e-5 raas.
Of the wonderful place each has
something to say
The song of the hens, the smell of
the hay.
They've told of the crops the farmer
should sow.
And also the pork and beef he
~. should grow.
They pictured the future to Reuben so
81 bright,
He hardly took time to sleep over
night.
No wonder the wrinkles grow deep in
his brow
When THEY milk the farmer while
he milks the COW.
And for politics he never had time to
spare; :--e
No wonder the hayseeds hang thick
in his hair.
No wonder the farmer is stopped down
and bent
When SO many years of life he has
spent -
To see if living from Earth he could
skin;
No wonder the whiskers grew long
on his chin. 80
Oh farmer, so long as you mortgage
your days, Il.
And let someone else control what
you raise,
Just THAT long you'll be in the mid
dleman's care,
And the hayseeds never be combed
from your hair.

inhabitants The peaceful little city of Dulcigno
already numbered eight thousand inhabitants and FL
with the thrill and hustle of busy life which Lee -
baudy would stir up the inhabitants would easily
outnmber the Prince of MOnaco's vasSals
But Ducigno possessed many advantages which Monte
Carlo did not have What could be interesting than
the ancient and very strong castle which Lebaudy realized
would be attraction for visitors and which perhaps
might be just the place for Lebaudy himself live9
Monte Carlo had no reason for existence except a
pleasure resort and here again DulcgnO had the advan
tage for it already had certain amount of foreign
merce and carried shipbuilding and was sur
rounded by agricultural country All these industries
and natural advantages Lebaudy would strengthen by the
magic of his imperial genius and millions.
And besides all this Dulcigno very historic
spot. Indeed, its history back two thousand
years
It's ancient NAME he learned, was Olcinium when the
Romans possessed but this corrupted to Oln when
the Turks took its sovereignty. 1t about the
year 167 B. G.. when the Romans, during the with
Gentius wrested it from the Ilyrian king In modern
history the figured in 1718 of the defeat
of the Venetians
Lebaudy was not little interested in the inhabitants
themselves He told of the long and remarkable
ord Of the town people and their ancestors for their bold
praces Lebaudy srOde the streets and peered into the
counenances of of the older inhabitants and seemed
see in their savage vsageS the old buccaneers who had
made DulcignO famous and, at times, infamous. And
among the sturdy of these old pirates
ebaudy believed he could recruit substantial force of
daring men who would make his next conquest of the
Sahara certain success.
There could be doubt about it-DulcignO was just
The Washington times., 1919-03-30

ing all his tremendous will power returned to Cettnge
where he instructed the governments secret agents to
keep a watchful eye on Lebaudys activities
Now the bold plan which Lebaudy had conceived after
the Princes refusal to sell Dulcigno in lump moth
ing less than buy the city and surrounding territory
from its inhabitants piecemeaL
If he could succeed i'll purchasing from the individual
every inch of land every house and other build
ing that constituted Dulcgno Montenegro would simply
have listen to him. As the largest property in
the country the sole of the nations principal
seaport he would be power that would command ser
iOus consideration.
Should Montenegro be still unwilling to let him make
DulcgnO the centre of empire of his could hard
y refuse make him the prince of territory which he
owned outright provided he paid allegiance to the ruler
of the land.
This would be position in many ways similar to that
of the Prince of Monaco and which, Lebaudy had
learned during his stay at Monte Carlo much be
desired.
For Lebaudy to think out plan was to act. He sum.
mOned the real estate dealers of Ducgno and took them
into his confidence the extent of telling them that he
was in the market for all the property In the city and
vicinity that could be obtained
Then followed the first real estate boom Ducgno had
ever known Values quickly inflated that the
humbleSt cottage held at a fabulous figure But
Lebaudy not all dsmayed by the rising prices He
soon was in possession of steamboat landing, three
stores half dozen city mansions and several farms and
other large tracts of land in the suburbs
Just how far Lebaudy would have carried his extra
ordinary real estate operations will be known, for
something happened that brought his activities In this
direction to a sudden end.
kmneh, his bewitching save-grl eharmer, beguiled
him into chvarous enterprise which brought his air

To sell Montenegros leading seaport would raise
national issue. The people might rise in revolt if the
sale of their beloved DucignO contemplated Could
not Lebaudy satisfy his ambitions with less conspicuous
city than DucignOH
Lebaudy pleaded and argued. He named price which
the city would hardly be worth if its streets paved
with gold But Prince Nicholas refused to be won over
to Lebaudy's ambition.
At last Lebaudy few into a rage He told the Prince
to consider the invitation to visit the royal palace at
Cettinge declined with thanks. He determined to
own Ducigno and he would find way of forcing
the Montenegro Government to let him have his way
The town appealed to him and the longer he

Nicholas had seen
too much of Lebaudy's
eccentricities in Paris
to be surprised at any
thing he might do. SO,
abruptly abandoning
his plans for a royal

the palace in Cettinge,
