...Meighen and his cohorts can muster, and places the deciding vote in the hands of the Progressives. Now it happens that the Progressive Leader, Mr. Forke, and his supporters are low tariff men. Mackenzie King and the Liberals also have low tariff leanings. But Meighen and the Conservatives are die-hard supporters of a high tariff, and the election has been fought with the tariff as a distinctly major issue.

...minor indictment. The spirit of play can be ruined quite as easily with cheap heroics as with money, and with consequences in the way of false standards equally harmful to the boys involved. For while bribes and subsidies will debauch the few who play, the do-or-die stuff makes eternal sophomores not only out of the few who play but also out of the many who applaud. What was George F. Babbitt but an eternal sophomore...
