THOSE MEMORIALS Seene at a soldiers’ memorial. Soldier out'of job attempts to enter the building. Agitated Custodian: “But you can’t come in here. -It’s not allowed.” ‘Soldier: “Well, why not? Who was it built for, anyway?” A. C.: “For the soldiers who fought in the war.” S.: “That’s me. I'm one of them.” A. C.: “But what do you want to do in here?” S.: “I want to sleep. I haven’t any other. place.” ; A. C.: “Oh, you can't do that. It’s not permitted. Oh, no, indeed.” S.: “Well, why not? If it’s for the soldiers, why can’t we use it?” p A. C.: “But my good man, it’s for meetings and that. ing place.” - 7 S.: then ?” JA. C.: “Can’t you see what an honor ; we’ve done to the soldiers who fought and offered their lives?” S.: “Sure, but what does it get A. C. (puzzled): “Eh, what’s that?” S.: “Nothing. Only next time they have a war, I'm going to enlist from North Dakota, Then I'll get a bonus instead of a memorial they won’t let me use.”” - iy o : .. PAGE TWoO It’s not a sleep-- “Well, what’s the good of it THE BOGEYMAN (With apologies to the memory of J. W. Riley.) A profiteer newspaper’s out of our house to stay, We used to take as gospel " truth the things it used to say, It said it loved the farmer and would keep him out of harm, And where would this here nation be if it wasn’t for the farm? And it used to tell us stories of a GREAT BIG BOGEYMAN, That 'ud eat you if ’t'ud get you, and we ran, an’ ran, an’ ran. They said his name was Townley, and he used to go around, A-chewin’ up the farmers, and steal- in’ of their ground. And at the end, it always said, it al- most seemed -to shout: The Nonpartisans'll Git you “If you Don’t Watch Out! Then we met an organizer and we was scared to speak, From believin’ what those papers said, we didn’t even squeak. And then the organizer laughed, as loud as loud could be, He said he wouldn’t eat us, that warn’t the kind he be, , He told us how the profiteers had g filled us up with lies, And then he’d have to stop and laugh, and’d have to dry his eyes. He said there warn’t no bogeyman, as we were bein’ told, 3 'Twas just the dream of profiteers whose feet were growin’ cold, And that the League was just to put such men as he to rout, So the Nonpartisans’ll Git him . If he Don’t Watch Out! Those ~humans with supernatural eyesight like the editor of the St. Paul Dispatch, or that Jeremiah of Grand Forks whom the aforementioned edi- tor often quotes, are again “seeing” the end of the Nonpartisan league. A judge recently let off a keeper of a disorderly house near Camp Zachary Taylor on the ground that “the war has come to an end.” All the profiteers have been purged by the historic ‘event too. But the espionage act and the postoffice gag act still hold. They have very handy political uses. - From Our Poets *_FOOD FOR THOUGHT In vain pursuit of wealth or fame We speng our lives, we praise or blame .. Our fellow beings, who perchance * Respond like us to circumstance; Naught can ‘we ‘take from earthly ~° sphere _ : Save thoughts of how we acted here. Why should we ever be content, By cunning schemes which we invent To overreach our brother man? How poor are we, though in the strife We gain the world and lose our life! “Would we assist in bringing peace On' earth that war and strife may cease? i Strive not for gain, make wealth for “use, % Let workers have all they produce. Good thoughts to deeds we must translate And with Nonpartisans vote straight. —1I. D.
