...subscription. PEARL ROSE JACKSON (Mrs. Horace Jackson) New York City TIME will cancel Subscriber Horace Jackson's subscription if and when Subscriber Horace Jackson so orders. - ED. Would Buy Sirs: I fear I am known to TIME merely as "one" Original Subscriber Brown. But I consider myself a "potent" cover-to-cover reader. Therefore, I rise to hail as "able" and soon to become "famed" The Voter's Dream cartoon in this week's TIME. Verily Cartoonist Barbour has drawn the "tycoon" of cartoons! To him "all praise," and to rival cartoonists a "thoroughgoing rebuke." My "shrewd...
...open parabola. It had only theatres and actors. But it was not a closed corporate entity, such as is currently found most profitable.

...knife-thrust in the market's back. With Arthur Cutten, and the Brothers Fisher, Mr. Raskob has stood in the front rank of the bulls. His slightest intimations have lifted stocks nearly 40 points. His name, linked with the Du Pont interests, has been synonymous with a mysterious but potent pool operating in market leaders. Amazing, almost traitorous, appeared this statement, released on the very day the 5,400 bankers were preparing their formal edict...
Many a U. S. citizen distrusts a pacifist as though he or she were suspected of carrying the bubonic plague. This antipathy, so prevalent among storekeepers, salesmen, politicians, appeared last week more logically expressed, hardly less rabid, in no less potent a tribunal than the U. S.
