...catfish. I never heard of catching a trout with a worm. Those South Dakota trout must be so elated over the President's coming to their state that they joined in the welcoming procession." Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, as piscator, said of President Coolidge's method of catching trout with angleworms in South Dakota: "Any trout that would bite on a worm is degenerate...

Harris Burnham, hearing his aunt thus condemn his excursion into socialistic journalism, replies by going to work with the hunkies in a copper mill. His is a hard-muscled method of thought. He refuses to betray himself by betraying humanity in order to remain loyal to an artificial class distinction. The, to many persons, pleasantly remote life of working people interests him like a bride. Feeling this alien devotion, the girl he loves says, "I don't love...
