...should be seriously threatened at this time by a vigorous lobby backed by the patent medicine manufacturers. With a rather surprising naivete they allege that if they are forced to tell the truth about their products they cannot sell them; thus even in the presentation of their defense they indict themselves. The power of these men is not to be underestimated. They have extremely influential connections in the financial and industrial worlds, the powerful Drug Institute is behind them, and being heavy buyers of advertising they have gained support in that direction. They are, accordingly, able to bring strong pressure...
Tammany was saved from a second black eye when the New York County grand jury failed to indict anyone on Attorney Medalie's charge that he knew four Tammany district leaders allied with racketeers.

Joseph Weiner was one of 81 defendants who sat on the grandstand required when a Federal judge held a wholesale trial...
...Ghandism be justly accused for the neglect of the genuine interests of the "proletariat." True, his following is drawn from all ranks of people, and there lies the strength of his movement. It is also true that Ghandi prefers class war inaugurating a new regime. Yet none can legitimately indict Ghandi of ever bartering away the rights of the poor. He vigilantly fought for their rights in South Africa. He led their strikes in India. Today again he is risking his life for the social regeneration of oppressed classes. He has consistently championed the cause of the masses long before...
