...bungles, be placed in a most undesirable state of relationship with European nations. The situation is, in its potentialities, quite as serious as any since the war, for it is in its essence an attack on the policy of isolation. As such, it deserves profound consideration by the administration. Now that Hughes has left the cabinet, the possibilities of a repetition of the Opium Conference flasco are too serious to be overlooked and consequences immeasurably worse would be involved by another admitted failure...
...Kaiser Wilhelm II, now Kaiser of a small estate at Doom, Holland. For seven years, he lived almost cheek by jowl with his Imperial master; he knew him as few men did; he left him in 1910, thoroughly disgusted and, as Bismarck did 20 years earlier, with a profound sense that the Kaiser's absolutism would lead Germany to catastrophe.

Rabenold '04. The writer of the article pays bomage to Mr. Rabenold's moral earnestness, his personal integrity, his profound grasp of the real problems of state, and his altogether exceptional effectiveness as a speaker. These qualities, one might think, would suffice to make anyone an altogether acceptable Solon. It is not often that any legislator is so fortunate as to possess them all. But no; Senator Rabenold has serious...
