HAVE YOU? 
Have you been investigated? Have you had an expose? 
Are the summonses arriving in your mail-box day by day? 
Has your business had an airing? Have you felt your vitals burn 
In the fierce light of inspection, and, if not, when is your turn ? 
If you haven't yet been questioned on the deeds that you have 
wrought, 
If you haven't told Van Lindley of the thinks that you have 
thought, 
If you haven't faced indictment, been suspected or accused. 
Probed by the Vigilantes or by Collingwood abused, 
If there's nobody that hates you, none that hankers for your gore, 
If none complain about you, none with a head that's sore, 
If to date they've overlooked you, there remains one chance 
alone: 
Bribe some one to jump on you, if it costs you all you own! 
If you haven't been dissected, scalped or beaten to a pulp, 
If the papers haven't roasted and consumed you at a gulp, 
Either hustle for a hearing and the Vigilantes brave, 
Or go out and rest your ashes in some qy,iet little grave. 
Fo> you re wholly out of fashion, and the fashion's quite unique — 
Every cat must catch its weasel, every rat be made to squeak, 
It s the day for pots and kettles to get busy calling names, 
And we ve got to stand the racket or get into other games. 
—SAMUEL SMILAX.

No. 1 Vigilance Committee: Your executive commit¬

our determination to free the association from undesir¬ 
able members.

commended that each year the secretary be instructed to

guilty of unscrupulous or fraudulent dealings.
