...better example of the old adage "it never rains but it pours" could be found than the history of the war during the last month. Now, as a climax to this series of defeats and discouragement's, comes the news of the triumph of the Maximalists and the Bolsheviki, the capture of the Winter Palace, and the flight of Kerensky. This is one of the few single events of the war that seems irretrievable, that offers no ray of hope or consolation. Even should Kerensky succeed in rallying the Army to his support and reestablishing a new government in Moscow...
Upon considering the matter we are somewhat in doubt just which model Mr. Ford considers his pleasure car. The undergraduate body is bewildered; some of us never knew that the notorious "flivver" ever went under the incognito name of a pleasure car. It is baffling in the extreme.

Moderation and politeness in our press are deeply appreciated by such a sensitive people as the Japanese. And as by public expression, international friendships are made and unmade, it gives all of us a chance by our words as well...
...been unable to win the support of any reputable class of citizens; while Bennett is an admitted nonentity, the candidate of the Brooklyn Republicans opposed to Fusion. Such is the situation as the polls open, with the betting over two to one in favor of Hylan. New York has never been able to keep a reform mayor in office for more than one term; its bursts of idealism are not of long life. But in this critical year, any victory of Tammany would be doubly disastrous, a menace to the public security and a knockout blow to good municipal government...
