...amazed, upon attending the Hotel Continental last Friday night, at the almost total lack of "drunks," the desirable distribution in number of both sexes, the ease with which one obtained admission, and the very atmosphere of the affair. Most of the girl colleges of New England were well represented by beautiful maidens, and for once there were more than enough of the fair sex to accommodate every male. In fact, there were so many charming girls, that the practice developed of girls cutting in, a condition which pleased me exceedingly. More than one girl solved the problem of my natural...
...patriots in and out of Utah complained about Bishop Jones's lack of enthusiasm for the War. He doggedly refused to "see how a mere declaration by Congress could alter the principles involved." The Episcopal House of Bishops appointed a Commission to look into Bishop Jones's beliefs, his patriotism, his affiliations with "questionable" Socialist and pacifist organizations.

...Smith's "boloney dollar" pronunciamento will undoubtedly find in this suggestion a good deal of fuel. Since his association with the Empire State Building, it has been supposed that Mr. Smith is forever lost to the cause of liberalism. But the significant point here is not Mr. Smith's lack of liberalism; it is his unfamiliarity with a few large landmarks in American constitutional law. The provisions which he suggests are the conventional child labor provisions, sponsored by agitators since the dawn of the twentieth contury, and effectively caught in the impasse of Hammer V. Dagenhart. The supreme court there...
