...fortnight in office performed as a consummate political artist. His frank, cheerful, direct methods drove Washington correspondents to superlatives of praise. He had Congress eating out of his steady hand. In two weeks he put through nearly two years' worth of important legislation. His smiling facility charmed even rabid Republicans. In a dozen days 14,000 laudatory telegrams swamped the White House.

...history than those between noon and 3 o'clock of November 14, 1902, when Carrie National made a whirlwind campaign to woe the student body from rum and nicotine. The Kansas hatchet-swinger, who personally broke enough whiskey bottles to arouse envy in the heart of the most rabid modern prohibition agent, stepped off the electric car that carried her from Boston to Cambridge and went straight to those claustral walls, where a thousand students were eating their midday meal. She had heard that ham was occasionally served with champagne sauce and that she had seen a menu which listed...
