POET COP, HAS PICTURE
AND HIS POEM
..Portlaiid, .Ore.,v
has a, "policeman
poet."
His name is Guy
'A. Fuller, )and when,
he is, not tramping
his beat on the look
out for tmeves and
robbers .he spends
his idle hours in
transposing his thoughts ;nto po
etry. ,
"ThMan" is one of Fuller's
latest inspirations, and bears
upon the political situatioh.
Here is an excergt from it:
Better to father some reform,
And sink beneath aself raised
storm '
Than later lead, while thousands
N cheer
The truth! they nce refused tp
hearj"
Better fight a losing fight,
'Till thousands stand for truth
and right, f
Than at hightidejtis Roosevelt's
plan. .
Cry, "Follow me, 'behold the
, man .
' , . . .
See one, possessed ofa-judicial
mind, -
Born to distrust the aVerage of
mankind ;
The adopted child o crooked en
terprise, ,
jWho4blds that judges only can
be wise,
.Who claims this government of
ours would fall
Should we enact surh laws as the
recall ' ,
He moves, and ever'in his van,
Great orators proclaim, "Behold
the man."
