...high protective tariff might well go back to 1896, and the good old days of high tariff and low. If Mr. Lazarus seriously believes that the "sole visible and apparently eternal" question of a high tariff is the only one with which the community is concerned in the present campaign, then it were far better for him to take up his political primer, his newspaper or his train of common sense, and learn what confronts the country. Let us hope that there are few men of the requisite age and the supposed discretion for voting, either college trained...

For, after all, the tariff, the merchant marine and civil service reform, however long and heatedly they may be discussed are not the dominant issues of this campaign.

Mr. Parson's free verse seems strained and unhappy; the idea of the same poet's "Art" deserves a better expression. Mr. Allinson contributes to the campaign literature of the day, recently dignified (or chinafied, as many have it), by the pen of Dr. Eliot, a glowing eulogium on Woodrow Wilson, "greater chieftain of the higher mind." With this qualifying phrase many Republicans will no doubt agree; the Presidential mind at present is so high that Germany...
