INDEPENDENCE MONITOR "THE PAPER THAT EVERYBODY READS" INDEPENDENCE, POLK COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1917 NO. 9 VOL.6 i .. t i , THE RHYMING SUMMARIST "Our dear satanic Magestat's Particular attention Is paid to ruining the farms And stirring up dissension. The fighting man must have his chow, Napoleon said so plainly. So Wilhelm tries To stop supplies But he'll continue vainly. "For blood makes terror in the land And iron the blade that spills it. And gold puts greed in the mind of man, Where honor was, and kills it Sad weapons these the Hun adopts Unworthy of a nation That drolls of pride When shame should hide Its face from all creation. "But through this vapid, meaningless, Vain pacifistic yapping Your Uncle Sam does not intend To be discovered napping. Each day the Army grows in France Fulfilling our tradition; Each day as well Storehouses swell With new-made ammunition." So it is a poet sings And we are that much wiser, With great resources to back us up We're going to lick the kaiser; Nothing on earth can stop us now, No hesitancy will hover, We'll play the card To hit him hard, And get the big fuss over.
