I de Net knew: perhaps, like Pat, .1 should Kay, "Yes, a great deal better, tee." Are all men In the same class here All high, all low, all base, nil grand? Or are there, ns some folks appear Te think, no classes In this land? There are, and should be, classe here. Dut, pray note, every man Is free Te qualify for any sphere Or class this Is true liberty. We all have a divine right te 1 Kit eujselves for the highest pest, Here where the red nnd white nnd blue ' SHU proudly floats from coast te coast Free men their truest feelings show In a free land, I don't hobnob With Helshevlsts. Hut I'm net no, Nht necessarily a snob. Equality! Where Is It? Where? In Hean? Upen earth? In hel? Ne, and I'm glad; I would net care 1 In a dull, drear, dead place te dwell. Seme men are better than but nay. Te state It thus might serve te jar Our noisy sephists: se I'll say Seme men are worse than ethers are.
