...unseemly haste which France has displayed in protesting the new agreement a recurrence of that dread of German power which she felt so acutely prior to 1914. Perhaps that dread was not unbased. The Vagabond proposes to hear Professor Artz discuss the last years of the heyday of German Imperialism this morning. The place is Harvard 1, and the time twelve o'clock...
...from the National Police Gazette which, some 80 years ago, announced: "We offer this week a most interesting record of horrid murders, outrageous robberies, bold forgeries, astounding burglaries, hideous rapes, vulgar seductions . . . in various parts of the country."

As editor from 1907 to 1924 the gifted Alfred Holman maintained a high standard of literary excellence. Though parts of the paper seem dull nowadays, San Franciscans point with pride to Editor Morphy's irascible editorials.
