THE NEW NATIONALISM.

Here’s the latest, greatest cure-all fehat you ever saw or smelt; It is sold and manufactured by old Dr. Roosevelt. It will turn the nation inside out, and also outside in, And cleanse it of original and other kinds of sin, It will utterly destroy each fundamental institution; And relieve the irritation of a useless Constitution; It will nullify the Bill of Rights, eliminate the Courts, And remove the worst excresences, from Congress down to warts.

It contains the well-known remedies in Dr. Bryan’s name, On the discovery of which still rests Karl Marx’s fame; The same that Dr; Debs prescribed when sometimes candidate. And one time peddled far and wide by “Bloody Bridles” Waite— Those socialistic syrups that are warranted to keep In any kind of climate and to make 7 the patient sleep, And recommended by the “Pops” in their once “sacred cause” To anaes|hetize the Judges and to paralyze the laws. 7

Then into these decoctions there is poured with iron hand Some strong imperial essence of the Kaiser Wilhelm brand, * And next bromidian platitudes are dropped into the mass, Which is highly carbonated then with conservation gas; Meanwhile is ajded righteousness until it's very thick. Then it’s brought up to the boiling point and stirred with the Big Stick; * And when it’s done he bottles it and furiously shakes it. Then throws the patient on the floor and chokes him till he takes it. —-New York World.
