THE MOB.
"The Mob's" not educated And can't tc made to see That things were aCI created For wealth to hold in fee. it talks of antiquated Old stuff like "liberty," And thinks it ought to have a. word In running matters — how absurd! The Mob should pay its taxes And never mind the rest, While we—we grind cur axes And know the land is blest And "all is for the best." The Mob should pay its food and rent, And go to work ar.d be content. The Mob cannot be trusted, If it should have its way Our schemes would all be busted, And spoiled the game we play. We'd have to quit—disgusted— And go to work some day, While now we get our little share of The plunder—and are "taken care of." — Bcrton. Bt>nl<\y in "C'bkv.go Daily Socialist."
