...Hovey, apparently, proves the rule by his exception to it. A man of property, in a hurried moment, he may have swallowed the bait of "red" alarmists, those people who see in the lectures of a courageous leader of thought or in the ebb of the New York market the fires of a great and devasting uprising, lead by the "reds".

For all that I believe our system, or lack of system, has certain great advantages. It would be a profound mistake to scrap the essentially local and individual basis of our system in favor of some...
...idle dreamer, Mr. Wood is shrewd enough to boom the fat daily as a necessary corollary to his new high-speed printing and feeding machinery. He is one of those manufacturers who take pride in combining the appearance of an English aristocrat with an up-to-the-moment knowledge of aeronautics, yachting, advertising, printing...
