...Battle of Blanton and Bloom to the interpretation of drab statistics assembled by the drudges of Congressional Committees engaged in formulating legislation of significance. "Ten thousand dollars unviolated looks handsome. The Congressional tengrands get badly nicked. The most appalling item is the slice torn off for campaign expenses. Then come the tickets for balls and kindred entertainments. . . . Congressmen are considered easy marks and their names grace many a list of angels, honored by the company of America's leading philanthropists. The cost of tickets for card parties, bazaars, etc., pockmark the old stipend. A politician has to be charitable...
...beginning of the World War. Meanwhile, as the good ship sails on, tempests are brewing for the next election, which must come not later than 1929.

He pulls up a chair, takes his guitar, strums a measure or two and then will come the woeful, repetitious story of a moaning Carolina Negro, the whoopees of a rancher. Some will come to him after the recital, and ask him if he has ever heard...
...deserted damsels, and of Outlaw Jesse James. The poems are all real, all primitive, good reading. But the Songbag is a music book, to be kept on the piano. There are harmonies more tempting than any of the verses. They fairly cry to be sung and the arrangements come from such composers as Leo Sowerby, Henry Joslyn, Alfred G.
