...Victoria's Bohemian creed is horrified and she tries to break it up. But youth wins out. Aging Victoria shrugs her shoulders, says: "It seems you are all I have left, Fanny." ¶Because Emily was a rich man's daughter, she might look kindly on young Clerk Evan but she had to marry in hw own class. She took Evan as her lover, however, later on, and did her considerable best to help him up in the world. When her husband died she made her child legitimate by marrying the father. Evan was an able fellow, with...
...there was a stunned silence. Not since 1868 when that other Pennsylvanian, lame Thaddeus Stevens, made charges against Andrew Johnson, had the awful ritual of impeachment been uttered in the House against a U. S. President.* An excited buzzing broke loose as Representative McFadden passed his resolution to the clerk on the rostrum and took a seat on the front-row bench.

Last week when truckmen began to unload 60-lb. cases, neatly wrapped in matting, before the House of Morgan, the usual crowd swelled to near-riot proportions. Though the cases were plainly labeled "BLACK TEA-Product of China. Foochow, China," reports quickly spread that J. P. Morgan & Co. had received a huge shipment of gold from the Orient. Guards when questioned muttered: "We don't know nothing...
...last week's Liberty Charles Stevenson, United Pressman in Washington, had an article entitled "Congress Cashes In," in which notorious Capitol extravagances were rehashed (TIME, May 30; Aug. 29). Tucked away in the text was passing reference to the fact that the Senate supplied its financial clerk with an automobile. Taking personal offense, Charles F. Pace, the Senate's veteran financial clerk, picked up his automatic pistol one morning last week, marched up to the Senate Press Gallery, demanded to see Stevenson. When told he was out, Clerk Pace flourished his gun, talked of shooting holes...
