HAS FREEDOM COME?
By H. M. Cochran.
My Country, 'fis bf Thee,
Sweet Land of Slugging
Cops,
Of Thee we sing.
Land where the cops can't
see,
To treat girls humanly,
But wrench them terribly,
Has Freedom Come?
My Country, 'Tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Calumet,
Of Thee we sing.
Land where our soldier
blokes,
Shoot down the women
'folks,
Pass gun plays off as jokes,
Has Freedom Come?
My Country, 'Tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Trinidad,
Of Thee we sing.
Land where the bosses rule,
Militia as a tool,
To deal out actions cruel,
Has Freedom Come?
My Country, 'Tis of Thee, t
Sweet Land of Rotten Graft,
Of Thee we sing.
Land where the laborer
Is treated like a cur,
By any wealthy sir,
Has Freedom Come?
THE HUCKSTER
By Jim Manee.
From early morn 'till late at night
You hear this fellow cry.
"Nice big apples, neighbor,
"They are fine for apple pie."
He sells you fresh strawberries,
And the things that grow in
ground.
The huckster is the man we like
When summertime comes 'round.
P. S"CU-cum-BERS AP-ples
GREEN corn WATerMELon."

WILSON STANDS FIRM IN HIS
MEXICAN POLICY
Washington, Feb. 27. President
Wilson is standing firmly on his orig
inal Mexican policy and is hopeful
that the threatened international
complications growing, out of the de
velopments of the past few days will
ye be cleared.
While not trying to minimize the
situation growing out of the killing
of eBnton, the president explained
that much had been printed about the
matter which was untrue. England,
he explained, has been eminently fan
to the United States. It has made no
arbitrary demands. It has asked that
the cause of and circumstances at
tending Benton's death be fully de
termined. The president explained to his call
ers that the American consular rep
resentatives are slowly eliminating
many exciting rumors and he hoped
the entire matter would be cleared up
within forty-eight hours.
