through the book,
I am doing the best that I can,
For any business denotes a continual
increase,
Ever since the Republican party
began.
I've gathered a very diversified crop
Of merchants and lawyers galore;
I've bound Republicans in bundles
until
Every one of my fingers is sore.
I've fiddlers, gamblers and insurance
men,
I've murderers, forgers and liars,
And I've filled up the furnace with
Republican voter -straights
Till they actually put out all the
fires,
But there is one class, I am happy to
say,
Can never gain entrance here --
Their souls are so dirty I'm sure that
they would
Form a trust in hell in a year.
I refer to the things neither human
nor beast,
The carrion crows of the nation,
Who never are happy unless they can
feast
On the earnings of all creation.
A million of years in my warmest
of rooms
Their wrongs would never atone,
So I give them a match and advise
them to form
A select trust home of their own.

TAFT & SHERMAN
Taft is a man, the mere mention of
whose name causes all eyes to be
cocked towards Roosevelt. Taft is
only a Big Bunch of False Substitu-
tion for the man of "Big -Stick' fame.
No man should ever become President
of the U. S. whose backbone is so slim
and his Presidential capacity so mea-
gre as to be bent about by the wind of
Rooseveltism. Furthermore, Taft is
so completely Jonahed up by the
Ain'.t got no terbacker,
Dollar's mighty few,
Corn's a drying in the sun,
Things look purty blue.
Wheat crop was a failure,
Taters didn't pay,
Grass out in the medder
Made no kind o' hay.
Guess I' l vote different,
Things can't get no wr)rse,
Hain't got any money
Nohow in my purse.
Country's like a blood boil,
Everything's mislead,
Guess I'll vote for Bryan and
Kern
And bring it to a head.

If you can use a few sample copies, they are not
hard to hunt. A postal card is sufficient.
The price of our piece of political fun and sarin
calm is 35c. and no one wants it any cheaper. Howe
ever to get a few thousand new subscribers we are
offering it at 30c.,in. CIubs of four or more.
Now we ask you to send us 35c. for a year's sub=
scription at once. Send us a Club if you can, and
The Republicans have placed this
country into a double "dog gone"
fix. To illustrate, let' place Uncle
Samdom in the attitude, of a farm-
er's garden. This done, we will be-
gin by saying that the Republicans
have permitted pokestal k s of fraud,
skunk cabbage of higl.l tariff, trust
thistles and the panicky j imson weed
to drown out everything within the
fence of existence, let alone this
imaginary garden of Uncle Samdom.
However, there in one corner of this
garden is Pennsylvania, whose soil is
capable of producing worthy material,
but how can it, with the whole thing
choked to death with the wild onions
of graft. This sc otion of the garden
Is a striking example of the neglect of
early weeding. Pennsylvania is not
the only section of this garden that
nAeds turning over with the plow of
Democracy. There is the New Eng-
land corner. She has a t1inridering big
you calf.

crop of Repu bl i c m dog, fennel and
high tariff that have stood
too long now. In the, Western part
of this garden are a. uulruber of Re-
publican spots which w o a ld I -)o none
the worse off if hor shady spots were
cleared away and sown in Democratic
turnip seed. The western part has
been running in Radical wildness so
long that everything has turned to
cheat.
Returning again to the eastern
part, there is New York State, the
southeastern portion of which con-
tains that big bunch of all baseness
--Greater New York. The tip end
of this bunch of ` `bullrushes" reach
out to the utlnost parts of this entire
garden and eien shade the beautiful
plants in flowery Dixie. In this
Dixie portion of the garden grow the
flowers of fairness, the scent of which
perfumes the entire garden from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
We could continue this garden il-
lustration, naming State after Etate
in which Democratic: grain is choked
out by republican cheat, where the
garlic of prejudice, the- wild briers of
ignorance and the bushes of. "boss -
rule" have choked to death every
laudable cause.
The proper tiling to do is to take
the Democratic plow and the hoe of
Jeffersonian principles and clear out
this rubbish from Maine toCalifornia,
and from Puget Sound in Washington
to the beautiful tail end of sunny
Florida.

COMING OUR WAY
THE HORNET hats just received a
letter from a Democratic friend in :fu--
diana, and lie enclosed a clipping
from his Koine paper, a local KFpub-
lican sheet.
The clipping, among other things,
says:
"Just because THE HORNET, of
Bixby, N.C. , is a hot-headed Demo-
cratic paper, is no reason it lies
every time it fills up a stick of type.'?
There, boys, do you hear that?
They are coming, just as sure as John
Brown made a raid ---they are coming t
All of our Palmer and Buckner back.,
sliders have been restored to full fel-
lowship in the Democratic Church,
and now when it comes to an ackno'%Nl-
edged Republican editor slipping up
to our "mourners' bench" and- not
giving a Continental "dad blame"
who hears his prayer, it's getting
mighty close to the miillenium of
Democratic success again. Now this
Republican editor is just the kind of
fellows we are willing to spend a,
&--son of prayer with, as it is not the
"ni;",ty and nine" in our faith that_
we, , after, but it's these stray
sheep with "eockleburrs" in their
tails that we are trying to roland up,
for Democracy.
