...There will be a distinct movement to repeal this act under this slogan of 'oppression of small enterprise.' It won't be a forthright open movement for repeal. These gentlemen do not dare do that. Some of this will be done by a Senator whom I love for his intestinal fortitude perhaps more than any Senator other than Carter Glass. . . . It will be an attempt to put in the act about three lines forbidding action by any industry in unison and in effect substituting the Federal Trade Commission...
...metaphysical theme upon which this novel is based demands an artist of great ability for its successful presentation. While Mr. Gregory's book is an interesting attempt and a sympathetic effort toward clarity, it falls far short of triumph. It is the love story of a vaudeville team, man and wife. The man, Carl Hathaway, dies, promising his wife he will be with her still, in spirit, even after death. It is the remembrance of this promise and the ability of telepathy which they shared, which create a difficult crisis for Valerie Hathaway when she falls in love with...

Worse, he took advantage of Katherine's pity to spoil her good name. Luckily the Crimean War had begun or the St. Quentyns would have certainly called him out. Alastair tried his best to be killed before Sevastopol but only succeeded in losing...
...John Tasker Howard, an expert on U. S. music, gives him 429 pages in a book cramful of documents, statistics and sidelights on the songwriting business in the mid-19th Century. Pittsburgh, not the South he wrote most about, was the home of Stephen Foster. Author Howard traces his love for Negro music to a "bound" black girl in the Foster household who used to take him to shouting colored meetings, to the early minstrel shows for which Foster wrote many of his songs. Edwin P. Christy, famed Mr. Bones, was his steadiest customer. He paid Foster...
