...Congress alone may make war. Democrats and irregular Republicans have been introducing resolutions, backed by literal arguments, to bring the "war" question to a vote. Chairman Borah of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee threw his weight in with Administration Senators to keep the question in abeyance, at least until President Coolidge returned from the Pan-American Congress. Then, last fortnight, Senator Borah said he favored an Inquiry into the whole Nicaraguan affair and a complete reformulation of U, S. policy in Latin America. At this juncture, Democrats fell into dispute among themselves as to whether the U. S. Marines were...
Without turning in his Senate seat, Senator Borah can scrutinize at least four of his colleagues whose hearts beat faster when any one mentions the White House. Down front is Ohio's ponderously handsome Willis. Across the aisle are ruddy Robinson of Arkansas and Missouri's smoldering Reed.

Question Two. Lecture delivered at the Manter Hall School last night; not heard by William Demipest, but revealed to him by the man across the hall, whose memory was doubtless inaccurate. Cad! Putting the blame on some one else. Question Three. William...
...with something of a paternal pride that the Student Vagabond welcomes to the scholastic jungle, which now includes various and widely separated educational centres of the country, offspring which bear at least a family resemblance to the denizen of Sever and Harvard; and just at this time particularly, when he is girding up his loins and preparing to take to the road again, the news that the institution of vagabonding has become contagions, and is gaining a foothold both at Smith College and the University of Oregon, comes as a gratification and an encouragement...
