...about that time was nibbling his pen in Paris over an answer to Secretary Kellogg's last note-that the U. S. will not consider any military alliance to prevent war, but only a peaceful compact, and that the U.

Aesthetic minds are attained only after material effort stagnates; preeminence in culture implies that the young vigor of a nation has gone to seed, and a more mature blossom has taken its place. The South, and Greenville especially, seems to be overflowing with this young vigor, and when it turns to fields of art, its materialism becomes painfully obvious. Trousers on the Apollo Belvedere is enough to make even the unaesthetic North...
