From the Harvard CRIMSON: "Harvard is perhaps the most cosmopolitan of American universities, and the number of foreign students has increased rapidly in the last few years. In 1912-13 there were 134 students from 29 foreign countries; two years ago 149 from 31 countries, and last year 185 from 38 countries."

Republican protective tariff, a measure avowedly intended to keep up high prices and restrict the one thing which would do everybody the most good, foreign trade. Read the recent full page advertisements in the New York papers and see what th real issue is that the men behind Hughes are willing to pay hard money for; you will find nothing but a plain, unvarnished appeal to the provincial American's pocket-book.

...bulkheads to keep from drowning?" for the continuance of our naval policy, which Mr. Whittlesey is afraid to leave to the party that put into law the naval bill--and to Boise Penrose and Joseph Fordney of "special interest" fame for the "fair and honest" tariff. And as to foreign affairs, they will be in control of such men as James Mann and Henry A. Cooper, of Wisconsin, both of whom voted for the McLemore Resolution, to abrogate American rights...
