...public has come to form an extra-judicial jury which demands that its decisions be enforced. In order to pronounce an unpopular sentence on Leopold and Loeb the judge was forced to take preventive measures against personal assault. And the nation is so sure of its decision (based on newspaper evidence) against Rescoe Arbuckle, that his jury acquittal has done nothing to remove the official ban on his films throughout the country. "Vanity Fair's", satire is amply justified. The public never admit's being wrong, and it is little, concerned to give an unpopular man a chance...
...translations. Some are themselves classics, as, for example, Apuleius' Golden Ass in the version which William Adlington made in 1566. No uniform edition of the classics has ever before been attempted on such a scale. The annual loss, a large one, is borne by Mr. Loeb. He, when he had retired from active business to devote himself to literary and archaeological studies, translated two classic dramas from the French...
...bonds of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R. mature and are due for payment. The St. Paul cannot hope to refund this issue by going direct to its shippers as the New Haven has recently done, and must therefore look to its bankers- Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the National City Bank.

But, since the immediate crisis is financial, the real future of the St. Paul is probably in the hands of two bankers, Jerome J. Hanauer of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and President Charles E.

Neither very naturally will talk for publication, and whether they will undertake to fund the aggravating loan of $48,000,000 can only be conjectured, But that they have hitherto proved reluctant to do so is a fair deduction from...
George Jay, the eldest son, undertook to complete his father's transcontinental system and "muffed it." He started building the Western Pacific. He fought Harriman, Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. He bought an entrance into Pittsburgh for the Wabash at a great price. When the panic of 1907 came, several of the roads were in poor condition, went into bankruptcy and George Jay was obliged to go to his enemies for money. He lost control of the Missouri Pacific, of the Western Union Telegraph Co., of the Denver & Rio Grande. He lost the Western Pacific, the Texas Pacific. Meanwhile...
