Poetry.
A DEMOCRAT’S LAY. (Bt Asdeew Kinross.) I’m of the people, I stand by my class, I feel for each one of the toiling mass "Who works long hours, oft weary and in pain, Whilst those who toil not have the greatest ' gain. I’m for the people and uphold their cause, I strive to get for them more equal laws, To sweep away the relics of the past, • When all the world was ruled by might or caste. Yet by the people shall the laws be made. And purer justice shall then be displayed; A true democracy throughout shall reign, And those who labour shall their rights retain.
