...great mass of Senators and Representatives are hammish on the capital's main social stage. That is why Washington is full of side shows. The form of the main performance is reproduced faithfully on a small, stuffy scale in the lobbies and "parlors" of the inexpensive hotels near Washington's Union Station. Seldom are these second-rate social troopers seen in Northwest Washington after 6 p. m. When a second-rate Congressman does scale the heights, he usually does something gauche-like the Senator who had himself flash-lighted as he entered Secretary Mellon's home...

The rebels, with three lines of trenches, held out bravely to the dawn and through the heat of the ensuing...
...With its main line running from Montreal to Vancouver, with the extent of its entire transportation system, including its Atlantic and Pacific fleets, best indicated by the fact that it has a contract with the British Empire to carry mail from Liverpool to Yokohama, the Canadian Pacific might well advance a claim to "world's greatest" railroad. Its neighbor and chief competitor, the government-controlled Canadian National, has 22,000 miles of line, but Canadian National's mileage is perhaps too great for its own good and only the rare vigor and ability of U. S.-born Henry...
