...everything massed in the category of luxuries by the wartime administrators, war taxes have been allowed to exist for a decade, mainly through the failure of Congress to remove an evil it knew was unnecessary. A start has at last been made, however, and one of the most obvious examples of illegitimate taxation is no longer. The small but even more annoying nuisance taxes on such "luxuries" as theater tickets are still present, but they too should soon follow the automobile war tax to the limbo of worn out war measures...

The tabloid and the so-called "yellow press" find...
...short, despite the personal excellence of these men, it is quite obvious that they do not stand for a single definite idea. They are both actuated by a laudable desire to be president. We submit that college men as citizens have a right to demand of political parties and their leaders more than they have given there in the past. When Democrats are out, they want to get in; when Republicans are in, they fight to stay there...
