...Washington to discuss liquor and smuggling. Mr. Oftedal said that the Congressman had ejaculated: "To hell with generalities! What about my case? Am I going to have to see Ogden Mills [Undersecretary of the Treasury] about it again? What about those six trunks of mine at Jacksonville? I had freedom of the port...
Last week, two months had passed since the new occupants took over the White House. Observers looking to see what changes, if any, might have come over the White House, noticed that the bronze-bound doors were swinging to and fro with a brisk new freedom.

Said the Hearst press: "The Federal Trade Commission has uncovered the power trust's nationwide practices of buying reporters, editors and news agencies...
...withdraw from the inter-collegiate league. Comparing at a time when Harvard has just completed a not too successful season in the league where it has formerly held many championships, this resignation is open to unpleasant interpretation. The step is explained on the ground that Harvard needs freedom for experimentation and innovation. Others may perhaps recall that the number of league debates is limited, and that outside of these contests Harvard would still have opportunity for plenty of experimentation. Furthermore, to keep the league debates as a conservative balance against radical innovations would be only a policy of wisdom...
