Famous “Kaiser” Poem Recall
ed.
Originally entitled “Kaiser and
Company,” the verses which
have made the round of the civ
ilized world under the caption of
“Hoch der Kaiser,” must be j
credited to a Montreal newspa
per man, A. H. 0. Gordon,
whose real name was McGreg
or, and was on the staff of the
Montreal Herald when, in Octo
ber, 1897, the Kaiser made his
famous speech about the di
vine right of kings and his mis
sion.
I
Me had ueen accuscomeu co
spin off occasional jingles, and j
when the news broke, “Give me
a poem, Mack,” came perempto
rily from the editor’s desk.
In less than an hour he turn- i
ed out the jingle that is still re- j
membered. Twelve verses was !
the total, but, in making up the
four being left in the galley.
Later the omission was rectified.
Notoriety was first given the
skit when Capt. Joseph Bullock
Coghlan, a native Kentuckian,
and commander of the Raleigh
at the battle of Manilla bay, re
cited it at a reception given to
him and his officers at the Uni
on League Club, New York, the
Raleigh being the first ship to
dock.
As originally given, the vers
es ran:
Der Kaiser of dis Vaterland,
Und Gott on high all dings com
mand.
Ve two, ach i Don’t you under
stand ?
Myself —und Gott!
He reigns in heaven, and always
shall,
Und mein own embire don’d was
schmall,
Ein noble pair I dinks you call
Myself—und Gott!
Vile some men sing de Power
divine,
Mein soldiers sing, “Die Wacht
am Rhein ”
Und drink der health in Rhen
ish wine,
Myself—und Gott!
Dere’s France, she swaggers all
aroundt,
She’s ausgespieldt—she’s no ag
gound;
To much we think sbhe don”d
amound,
Myself—und Gott!
She vill not dare to fight again;
But if she shouldt, I’ll show her
plain
Dot Elsass und (in French Lor
raine)
Are mine—by Gott!
Von Bismarck vas a man of
might,
Und dought he was glear oud of
sight,
But ach, he vas nieht good to
fight
Mit me—und Gott!
Ve knock him like a man of
straw;
Ve let him know whose vill vas
law;
Und dot ve don’d vould stand
his jaw.
Myself —und Gott!
Ve send him oud in big disgrace;
Ve gif him insuldt to his face,
Und put Caprivi in his place,
Myself—und Gott!
Dere’s grandma dinks she’s
nicht schmall beeh,
Midt Boers und such she inter
fere ;
She’ll learn none owns dis hem
isphere
But me—und Gott!
She dinks, good frau, more ships
she’s got
Und soldiers, midt der scarlet
goat
Ach! We could knock dem,
pouf, like dot,
Meinself—midt Gott!
In dimes of peace, prepare for
wars,
I beat the sbear und helm of
Mars,
Und care not for den thousand
czars,
Myself—und Gott!
In fact, I humor efry whim,
Mit aspects dark und visage
grim.
God pulls mit me und I mit him,
Myself—und Gott!
Button Factory Running.
The local plant of the Rock
port Button Company is now
being operated six days per
week under the management of
Frank Johnson, and the Euro
pean war seems no longer to
cut down the demand for but
tons.
When the plant was shut
down this past summer, the war
was given as the reason for the
suspension, but the employes
say the August shutdowns are
regular every year and they
were expecting it.
The button factory employs
about fifty cutters and the pay
roll is an important item with
the business interests of the
city.
The following goods will be
sold at' public auction Saturday,
Sept. 20 at 1 o’clock on Front
St.: 1 Majestic Range, 1 din
