...knifing of one Elisworth Brown, local dude and "jelly-bean" par excellence. The jury seems ready to admit that Master Brown richly deserves his portion, but nevertheless is prone to regard the unsociable defendant, who probably did not fight for the Stars and Bars, with a jaundiced eye. Judge Priest turns the tables in masterful fashion. While the strains of "Dixie" are wafted into the hushed courtroom, the parson, (Henry B. Walthall) comes forward as character witness on behalf of the defendant. The resulting climax will cause Guiseppe Vespucci, of South Boston, to rise tearful from his seat and give...
...industrial East (except New Jersey) and in most of the Midwest-Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin. The South was solidly loyal and of all Western states only South Dakota and Wyoming showed more nays than yeas. The National Industrial Conference Board, a fact-finding eye of Big Business, quizzed all 12,076 editors of U. S. newspapers and farm journals. Each editor was asked to disregard his personal opinions, report his community's sentiment. More than 5,000 responded to this ticklish task. The editors shied in droves from abstract spectres of change. Does your community...
...Sinclair would not have a legislative majority at Sacramento to execute his ideas. Under Republican Hiram Johnson, California enacted in 1911 the system of initiative & referendum. To initiate any legislation, all that is required is the mandate of 8% of the voters in the previous election.

He is confident that any majority which would elect him would support any legislation...
...crackpot, but he is inordinately vain. He has not made a livelihood of scandalmongering; he has written because he was hurt. He is not an atheist; he is disgusted by commercialized religion. He is "not a "free-love"' cultist; he is an ascetic. His soft manners, his kindly eye, his intense, humorless and uncritical idealism, his obsession with the struggle of Labor and Capital for the fruits of Industry mark him for the archetype of old-fashioned Socialist. Yet the Socialists have outgrown him and Grade A radicals believe that if EPIC is given a trial, its failure will...
...worst eye-sores about Cambridge is the plot of land controlled by the college on the corner of De Wolfe and Mill Streets. Overgrown with weeds, surrounded by a broken-down fence, it appears to serve absolutely no useful purpose. Meanwhile students are forced to hire costly garages or run the risk of an expensive and annoying appearance in court. The land could be filled in, levelled off with cinders, and turned into a satisfactory parking space at a very nominal cost. A small charge, sufficient to defray the original outlay and to provide for the up-keep might well...
