Jokes live a long time at Harvard. Sometimes these jokes, especially cartoons in the Harvard Lampoon, which occasionally transcend decency, return from death to plague their perpetrators. A "Lampy'' cartoon of two dirty hogs "rooting for Princeton" did much to cause the not-yet-healed breach between Harvard and Princeton. Another cartoon last week brought the Lampoon's editors a threat of criminal action by the district attorney of Middlesex County...
...astonishing ineptitude managed to revive the scrubwoman controversy just after the fund raised by a group of alumni to pay their back wages had succeeded in removing the matter from the field of, as the liberal journals call it, public discussion. It appears that the Lampoon has published a cartoon representing the scrubwomen as having a riotous spree on the proceeds of the money paid them at Christmas...

It only remains for the Boston press to hand out their ever ready award of bibs and lollypops...

Fess had promised support for all Republican candidates ''without exception," Secretary Lucas testified that-at the behest of Nebraska regulars who have long opposed Insurgent Norris-he had spent $4,000 of his own money in having a cartoon, a circular letter and a pamphlet of anti-Norris editorials disseminated throughout the state. Senator Nye had previously pried out the facts in the printing plant of Charles I. Stengle, onetime Brooklyn Congressman, now editor of the National Farm News. Director Lucas, unrepentant, defended his action by declaring that Senator Norris...
