...section, its wide tree-lined avenues running sedately north and south, its citizens moving soberly along them on Sunday mornings to Denver's many churches. Like most second-generation frontier towns, Denver is strongly moral. It has a stern respect for conventional art, religion, home, womanhood. When Judge Benjamin Barr Lindsey, after brilliant service in the Juvenile Court, declared that scarcely 10% of Denver's high-school girls were virgins and campaigned nationally for Companionate Marriage, Denver cast him out, has all but forgotten him. Denverites like direct action. Last week six of them pledged half a million dollars' worth...

They begged the Park Commission's permission to occupy daily, between 10 a. m. and sunset, a 6-ft. strip of the streets bordering and enclosing Washington Square Park.

("Slippery Dick"') Connolly, Mayor A. ("Elegant Oakey") Hall, ruled New York without question. Bearded, bleary-eyed Boss Tweed, who began his career as nose-punching foreman of the Americus or Big Six Fire Co., was Commissioner of Public Works; Brains Sweeney was the lawyer; Slippery Dick was Comptroller of Public Expenditures; Elegant Oakey was the Ring's social front. Their methods were childishly simple. New York's books were never...
