...Justice and not upon Might. He agreed that "Power without Justice is tyranny," but, losing himself in abstruse idealism, he wanted the annihilation of power by disarmament and the extirpation of tyranny by arbitration. Said he: "Our position in this: We don't believe a military alliance is go ing to bring security. We believe a military alliance in an agreement for security, like the mustard seed, is small to begin with; and that this seed with the years will grow and grow, until at last the tree produced from it will overshadow the whole heavens; and we shall...
...Back again where riddles were playing, an elegant and austere figure, somewhat of a stranger to gaiety, he had fallen in love with Lavinia and she with him. The night before, he had challenged Gawin Todd to a duel for her hand; now he stood and watched her com ing down the stairs.

The Old Guard, resenting Butler's domination and doubtless with the comfort if not the abetment of Slemp, seized the first candidate...
...William Allen Pusey, emeritus professor of diseases of the skin in the University of Illinois, was inaugurated, having been made President-elect at the San Francisco session in 1923. In his President's address Dr. Pusey attacked socialization of the medical profession. The ancient responsibility of the profession?treat-ing the sick and injured?rather than reforms by organization, wholesale medical programs and government spoonfeeding, was held up as an ideal. President Coolidge was commended by Dr. Pusey for his "wise statesmanship" in "taking a definite stand against federal support" of a wide range of socialized activities...
