...present bridge is an old affair of wood so narrow that there always is congestion at the bridge on days of large crowds. It has been considered so dangerous that at times barges have been placed beneath the draw. One great obstacle that has prevented the construction of the new bridge has been in the past the opposition of the United States Government to obstructing the river approach to its property at the Watertown Arsenal. This objection was weakened materially by the construction of the West Boston drawless bridge and the Charles River dam and since then progress has been...
Before taking up the subject of the day, Mr. Curtis gave a brief explanation and discussion of the recent decision in the Standard Oil case. There have been two opinions held as regards the interpretation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act; one favoring a narrow view and declaring illegal all combinations in restraint of trade, the other holding a broader view and calling only unreasonable restraint of trade illegal.

Let it not be forgotten that although its standards...

The narrow specialist, and the man who has not specialized at all are equally apt to fail of election. Moreover, the electors take into account success in winning prizes for essays, in debating, and in other intellectual activities. In no case are purely personal grounds, -- matters of likes and dislikes,--considered...
