...labor, whether it be the labor of the farmer or the factory worker or the labor of the white collar man. That is Justice. The nation applauds efforts, through, the agencies of Government, to give a greater social security to the aged and to the unemployed, to improve health, and to create better opportunities for our young people. That, too, is Justice...
...assistant to the Third Assistant Secretary of State. That was in 1907. Within two years he had won such esteem in the Department that he was sent to London as first Secretary of the Embassy, a doubly important post because Ambassador Whitelaw Reid was in very poor health. It was during that period that he married Caroline Astor Drayton. Mrs. Phillips is a descendant of the Draytons whose name means as much in the history of Charleston, S.

And then James had a romantic mind, eager for new adventure and repelled by detail and repetition. The psychological laboratory frankly bored him, not because of its instruments, but because of its measurements. This appears politely but unmistakably...
...Francisco's Opera House one evening last week City Health Director Jacob Casson Geiger was summoned to a telephone, informed that one Albert Perry, 87, had just died of arsenic poisoning. That night Albert Perry's daughter Bessie, 53, also died. Next morning authorities found arsenic and sodium fluoride in the family's baking soda, traced the soda to a cut-rate department store run by one Joseph Rosenthal. Twenty-one other soda-users were discovered ill. Taking to the radio, Director Geiger warned San Franciscans to eat no more of the Rosenthal soda...
