This scenery staff's S.U right, I guess.
If you're a tourist on the look
For casUes,' crags, cathedrals yes.
You've read about 'em in a book;
But quoting Bill, our honored cook
' "That dope's all right for them that

Scenery don't count much when you

- In those few. words, why Bill, he
strikes it.
In days of old. before the war.
When strangers came to gaze and
pay.
The natives used their landscapes for
The making of financial hay;
But this gang from the V. S. A.
Would rather see the Woolworth

Than any relic of that day
When sprung the hunch of will-to-
power .
And robber knighthood was In flower.
The kaiser has a palace here .
Or better, let us say he had,
For 'Wilhelm. like this German beer,

A- STATEMENT
THIS is very embarrassing. "We are in receipt of a
number of requests, at least two of them Ay it h the

political organization, 'we confess we are somewhat at sea

what the two main political parties stand for now, but
what thev are going to stand for a year or two hence. And
one is -ns 'certainly going to vote the democratic ticket iu

Where. the two major parties
who they are, appears to us a perplexing aud insoluble
