There is a difference, however. The East Indian, once dead, could be forgotten. The Leavenworth convict is not killed but remains to be a very acute problem. If he is kept in prison, he can pose as an example of the tyranny of the capitalistic oligarchy; and if he is freed, he can carry on his work of socialism and anarchy quite as effectively in peace as in war. Indeed it is probable that this petition of amnesty which the President has granted, after its presentation to three successive administrations was offered partly with the very thought of placing...
...writer of the communication poses as a staunch Harvard man. But it is not at all certain that he is not a charlatan even in his pose. His rather illegible signature was deciphered as J. E. Sinclair '91. But investigation yesterday disclosed that there was no such man either in the Class of 1891 or in any other class and there is apparently nobody in the Class of 1891 whose name bears resemblance to the signature on the letter...
...sairap toach around on "Dandy Dobbin" was a master of comedy.

Many of The Spectator's die-hard readers took exception to Mr. Massingham's articles, but it was distinctly to Mr. Strachey's credit that he opened the hospitality of The Spectator's pages to such...
...books have given rise to this attitude is a nice point for speculative minds. At any rate, that this attitude now exists ins an establish of fact, especially since Lord Curzon's vigorous message on the subject sent to Premier Poincare a few weeks ago. America, though assuming the pose of the onlooker with his feet well out of all dust and dirt, is perhaps inclined to favor the French action. Therefore each side in the debate this evening will voice, to a greater or less degree, the sentiment of its country. Consequently the speeches of each should be fired...
