Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 37, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1905 — HERO WORSHIP. [ARTICLE]

HERO WORSHIP.

He seems like some old Roman With a high and classic brow — A creature to whom no man Could deny a humble bow. If he tried he'd ne’er disguise it. He was born to lead and teach. And you fully realize it When you hear him make a speech He wears a shirt and collar Just the same as other men. He likes to save a dollar On expenses now and thou. A joke, ho won’t despise it; And for pie he oft will reach. Though you wouldn’t realize It When you heard him make a speech —Wasb'ngton Star.
