...country form which the cries of the Suffragettes have passed away, their work done and accepted, only a small infrequent voice over is heard ruing the day that the franchise was slipped into the untrustworthy hands of women. The Nineteenth Amendment sleeps in peace, awoken only occasionally by the clamor of a daring article in its honor appearing in the Sunday supplements of the New York papers. But in Spain it is yet a new and exciting thing. Just a year ago women suffrage was proclaimed, and today its proclaimed are aghast at the results; the hand that...
Arose the loudest hubbub in years at a meeting presided over by Il Duce. Every member of the Council seemed to have his own notion of how to proceed. Il Duce encouraged all to spout their ideas, only ringing his bell when the clamor grew too great.

...Iowa Farmers' Union was ranting for inflation and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace's scalp because he refused to believe that inflation was a cureall. Even conservative members of the Administration were recommending a quick burst of paper money as the only practical way of silencing the inflationary clamor. "'I am unexcited and intend to remain so," President Roosevelt, up from a sick bed, told callers who asked him what he proposed to do about the currency. But by the end of the week he had begun to act. The President received a delegation of southern Congressmen...
