“Jon Walter.”
(A good sweeping rhythm, sung to the tune of “Briar Rosebud.”)
1. Jon Walter was a little man, little man, little man,
Jon Walter was a little man, long, long ago.
2. He called himself a Demmycrat, Demmycrat, Demmycrat,
He called himself a Demmycrat who loves freedom.
3. The only freedom that he loved, that he loved, that he loved,
The only freedom that he loved, was freedom for men.
4. He’s been so wet he’s worn gum shoes, worn gum shoes, worn gum
shoes,
He’s been so wet he’s worn gum shoes all his life.
5. But now he says he is real dry, is real dry, is real dry,
But now he says he is real dry. He wants our vote.
6. But yet we see the same gum shoes, same gum shoes, same gum shoes,
But yet we see the same gum shoes—same gum shoes.
7. Don’t vote for him to make our laws, make our laws, make our laws,
Don’t vote for him to make our laws in Washington.
8. Jon Walter’s place is in the home, in the home, in the home,
Jon Walter’s place is in the home from henceforth on.
WELL, girls and boys, I have been scouting. I was sent out as
chief scout for the Maryland Suffrage News to Atlantic City to
watch over the two women delegates to the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Convention —and to keep an eye on the men.
It was some trip. The Maryland delegation was the handsomest and
most distinguished of all the thousand delegates. They did less talking
and accomplished more than all the rest put together. The Mayor of
Philadelphia, J. Hampton Moore, who is also president of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association, was simply crazy about the Maryland
people, and gave them everything they asked for without a whimper.
Baltimore ought to be proud of our Mayor. His last speech fairly
rang; he was like one inspired when he spoke to Louise Schwarz’s resolu
tion, asking admission of women as full-fledged members of the Asso
ciation.
Jack Hanson (“Handsome Jack”) was the life of the party. He was
taken for Senator Harding several times. He has two or three jobs in
Baltimore and out, but he is best known as the “Lamp Lighter.”
I wonder why all the cafe proprietors were indicted the day the Balti
more crowd left? Was there a “dry detective” in the crowd? Maybe it
was Henry Franklin or Charlie Parr. They were the dryest-looking
ones, except the “Lamp Lighter.”
What has come over “Uncle Cook” Boyd? He was so tame he ate
out of our hands, and his disposition was so sweet he radiated geniality.
I advise some of those cub reporters to call him up before it wears off.

“Smithy” —A Dish-washing Song.
{To be sung joyously to the air of “Seeing Nellie Home.”)
We’ll be seeing Smithy ho-o-ome,
We’ll be seeing Smithy home.
When the votes are counted in November,
We’ll be seeing Smithy home.
“Carvel Benigen.”
{Air, “Michael Finnigan.”)
Especially recommended for singing while dusting.
*****
I know a man named Carvel Benigen,
Who wants to go to Congress ’gen-n-a-gen.
Once he was dry, but now he is wet agen,
Poor old Carvel Ben-i-gen, begin again.
I know a man named Carvel Benigen, etc., etc., repeated ad libitum,
increasing in speed.
Don’t ask me to write about Jimmy Clayton. I can’t bear it and
besides I have neither time nor space to do him justice. He is a “prince.”
Ask those two women delegates what they think of him; it will fill a book.
Speaking of cub reporters reminds me of “Cupie” Muller; not that
he is a cub; he is what you might call a full-grown “bear.” He yelled
and howled from the time we left Baltimore to the end of the trip that
“Might makes Right.” We argued with him at first, but after awhile we
let him go as far as he liked and humored him. He is so cute.
“His Onery” James H. Preston was conspicuous among those present
and was most beneficent, so different from the good old days when he
slammed the door at the City Hall and damned the Merchants and Manu
facturers’ Association. He and Bobbie Beacham got along famously.
Perhaps Bob thought it was a “minor privilege” to be permitted to
walk out of the dining-room with the ex-mayor.
Lynn Meekins told me confidently that he is about to kick up an awful
row in the Eastern Short Society. Won’t Sam Dennis be furious? I’ll
tell you more about it when the rumpus starts.
Before I stop I must mention that handsome City Engineer, Colonel
Perring. He and Mr. Griener split even on good looks. In fact, the
women nearly “fell out” over which was the handsomest.
Taken all in all, you can go a long ways and not find a finer bunch of
men, and I am an authority on the “genus homo.” I know them from
a to z - Yours respectfully,
Flora.
