With word that various Princeton Wayfarers were forced to return to New Jersey by train instead of the Cape Cod and Raritan Canal route for which they had paid passage, the tentacles of the west coast shipping strike reach far and wide. Labor disputes are tolerable only so long as they keep on the private battle ground between employer and employee. For the minute the public welfare is put in jeopardy, as occurred in an San Francisco two summers ago, the strike inevitably topples over with the weight of popular disfavor, and both management and labor lose the gains that...
...elected three new missionary bishops: Venerable Winfred H. Ziegler, Archdeacon of Chicago, to the Wyoming post left vacant by the death of the late Bishop Elmer Nicholas Schmuck; Rev.

Another performance which fascinated the convention was Dr. Otto Barkan's operation for chronic glaucoma. In this disease the tiny drain called "canal of Schlemm" becomes clogged.

It has been successively favored as a home for convicts, aristocrats, thieves and prostitutes, Italian immigrants, artists and writers, and at one time had an international reputation as a red-light district without a peer. Last week Herbert Asbury (The Barbary Coast, The Gangs of New York) offered...
Last Christmas a Captain of the U. S. A. Engineers Corps, who came down here to build the Nicaraguan Canal, but got married instead, sent me a year's subscription to TIME, as a Christmas present. I thought it about the best news periodical I had ever seen, but after reading some of the crank letters you print I think I should engage some of the writers to show you how to run your magazine. The only complaint I have is misleading advertising...
