And if any literate men still remain beneath their spell, there is for the purpose of enlightenment Mr. John Chamberlain's brilliant analysis of the vicious circle which is their fallacy. If we have anything describable as thought, we laugh at the politician who mouths glibly that only through more extensive public education can America advance; it is a tragically ridiculous doctrine, it is a smirking dodge. Just so long as politicians...
...controlled by Labor increased last week from ten to 25, including cutlery-famed Sheffield. Supposing Labor to be definitely resurgent-that is, supposing Great Britain to have a Labor Government within the next two years-who would step into the shoes of un-laborite James Ramsay MacDonald?

There is one question, and one question only in the minds of gridiron followers today, and that is, "Can Harvard turn the tables on the highly-touted Army eleven?" Viewing the odds of from 5-1 to 3-1 and 2-1 which the bookies were offering yesterday, it looks as if there were little doubt in the minds of most, concerning the outcome. A victory...
...lineup for yesterday was the same as it has been all week with the exception that Rogers seems to have the edge on Francisco at left tackle. Rogers played a brilliant game against Dartmouth two weeks ago and was slated to see plenty of action in the Lehigh contest, but he was injured in the practices late last week and so was unable to play.
