...after all, who will blame the Student Vagabond? Who, indeed! Who is so hard hearted as not to shed a tear--even only figuratively speaking at the thought of the grievous impediment which the freezing slush of Massachusetts avenue would offer to progress of the wanderer's roller skates? Who would not weep to see him, lightly skimming along the boardwalks from Harvard to Sever, trip with dire results upon a protruding nail, half hidden by the snow? Who would not but why call up more misery? It is, indeed, lost too many tears should flow, least those...
...days that immediately followed the World War, when nations could either have their peace, conferences or let them alone, seem to be gone forever. Nowadays there must not only be a regurgitation by each of the delegates, speaking from his home bureau and placing the blame for the failure of the conference on his colleague, but there must also be preliminary conferences.

...McGraw, like myself, probably smiled at the imaginary situation, and was reminded of the fact that steel and iron pipe, guilty as it might have been in an advertisement, has performed an indispensable service.

It is safe to say, however, that this mass of irresponsible and unsheltered children, too numerous for the orphanages of any nation to control, will serve in the next ten years as a test of the Soviet's ability. If they neither die off, nor grow up into gangs of adult criminals, but find...
...keep Chicago from the clutches of King George--and it is time that some of the ridicule descended on the voters of America's second city who elected him on such a basis. If widespread and uncharitable laughter pursues a town already famous for the antics of gunmen, the blame lies more with its citizens than wit hits Mayor, who is after all only their representative; and if Chicagoans weary of being told to make their city streets safe for Americans before bothering themselves about the British menace, the remedy, as is usual in such cases, lies only with themselves...
