POETS CORNER
MARTIN TABERT


From the land of North Dakota where
the dark Missouri flows,
And in summer miles of wheat fields
wealth and happiness disclose,
Came the youthful Martin Tabert, led
by wanderlust to roam
To the far away savannas of the
southland, and home
Sought he, where the SHOWS and biz
yards of the northland ne'er were
seen;
But instead, a land of flowers, clad
in bright perpetual green
Land the tourist seeks in winter, and
where birds that migrate come
To escape the cold of winter In their
snOw-clad northern home.
Here came Martin, whose ambition
was to gain livelihood
With his hands Injured to labor where
e'er he with honor could
Florida had naught to offer, though
he sought work everywhere;
Misadventure hard pursued him till
at length twas his to share
Convict labor, though no crime had
he committed anywhere.
But for pelf byaKrasping "boss-
guard" was he sent duress to
Bleeding feet and dire exposure suf-
fered he, too weak to keep
Abreast of what the "boss" demand
ed in ditch with mud knee deep.
Then, for failure, was he beaten in
fiendish. shameful way,
Past all reason til he swooned, and
God in love took him away
Away from fiendish, brutal torture,
and from friends who loved him
we'll,
But who knew not of his suffering
God alone their pain could tell!
Took him to Himself, He loved him,
like the prisoner long ago,
Who to Paradise, the blessed, with
the Christ did meekly go.
Prisoner Comrades, hail the triumph
which to you the state has
brought.
Moved by Martins death to action
'gainst an evil else unsought!
Go "forever! is it's mandate! peon-
age and the lash must 60!
And the New York World. prom otter
Of the change with heart and
song,
Cherish far ito brave contention-
right must triumph over wrong.
