Snobbery, of course, is only an annoyance. So are bed-bugs and boils; but normal people will take great pains to avoid them. The animal's organs adapt themselves to its environment, and kingship stands for the environment that produced snobbery. Once developed, the organ outlives its causes. There is your vermiform appendix, for example. So snobbery will outlive kings. Probably we shall have our society columns for a good while. But snobbery is on the declining hand. --SATURDAY EVENING POST...

...There can be no doubt, however, that the prestige of the daily press has suffered everywhere because of the war. In my judgment, enough lying has been done by the American press about the war to last for a hundred years, and this is not the normal misrepresentation due to human fallibility and the exigencies of news-gathering. Of course, the governments must bear the largest share of the blame for this newspaper lying, for their censorship's, established avowedly for the purpose of preventing military facts of value from falling into the hands of the enemy, speedily degenerated into...
