...first place, Mr. Duke declares that "a man who spends a lot of money in building a fine residence is benefiting a great many persons," and cites his $15,000,000 home as an example. The way to prosperity is through extravagance! The clear logic of John Stuart Mill is hardly necessary to point, out the fallacy in such an idea. What would really benefit other people is to put that money as capital into the industries which produce the food and shelter and transportation of the masses. The men employed in building a fine residence for one man would...
Root, the great master of logic, the brilliant mind; Depew, the master of eloquence, the brilliant tongue, sat there together, enjoying what has come to them as the rewards of their life work. Mr. Root has never so exactly put his reward in words as Mr. Depew once did when he said: "If I am known as an after-dinner speaker, I hope I am known also as a man who works.

...Wales is "entirely composed of prestige"-a statement far from the truth-the "King business" ought to be wound up. Because Ibanez is seen as "the greatest of all Spaniards"-an absurd contention-the "King business" in Spain ought to be wound up. A critic said: "Such childish logic disguises Liberalism with bigoted reaction. Republicanism may fit new countries ; but, for those with hundreds of years of tradition behind them, it is utter folly. Compare Germany, Austria, Russia, Hungary. Think of the suffering France has gone through to achieve republicanism...
