...already. However, much opinions may differ on the prohibition amendment, the mass of people will raise against any attempt to curb the use of tobacco. That prehensile-nosed organization, the W. C. T. U. will meddle in other people's business once too often; and the heckled, down-trodden proletariat will, with starting abruptness, proceed to clean house. The disembodied a spirit of the W. C. T. U. floating around in interstellar space, where there is no tobacco smoke, will have time to reflect on the fact that the American people are like a buzz-saw. One cannot "monkey" with...

There is reason to think that the German Emperor and his adviser are today viewing the question of peace more from the standpoint of maintaining intact the existing bureaucratic government than from...
...most festive occasion of the third classman's usual festive season. An invitation to it has been the ultimate heaven of every debutante; and even those proud and few chosen Seniors who are admitted have felt themselves rejuvenated in memory of more youthful and frolicsome days. Even the proletariat thronging the veranda of the Union and peering hopelessly within, has felt itself part of the glories of the Juniors' Valhalla...
