...many weeks, the Presidency of Bombay has echoed the demands of the people, particularly of the Parsis,* for British justice. The echo is a reverberation of the nautch (dancing) girl affair: A nautch girl, member of the Maharaja of Indore's harem, escaped from Indore, a sovereign Hindu state, following the murder of her baby, and sought the protection of a wealthy Parsi merchant of Bombay. This was a supreme affront to the Maharaja's "izzet" (caste honor). He held out every inducement to the girl to return, but she preferred her merchant and counted on the additional...
Such a safe and uninspiring position may seem desirable to the editors of the Sun, but it finds no echo at Harvard. The CRIMSON believes sincerely that its editorial columns should comment, criticize, and suggest with a free hand.

...applause in which no one took part more heartily than General Dawes. Those who were on the roof of the Capitol complained that the amplifiers did not carry the speech to them as well as they did four years ago. Whenever the President paused, his last words were echoed from the Senate and House wings on both sides. Possibly it was irritation from this echo that caused Senator Cole Blease, newly elected from South Carolina, to walk down the stairs from the stand in his black sombrero and disappear before the President had finished. Halfway through, the President donned...
