...Green, guest of the LaSalle hotel in Chicago, lolled on the seat of a taxicab, very drunk. The cab stopped at his destination, the chauffeur opened the door politely, found himself staring into the unsteady muzzle of a revolver. Mr. Green exhibited a certain tipsy truculence in regard to the charges. Said the driver, smiling: "Be reasonable. Give me the gun in payment of the fare." To the somewhat fuddled brain of Mr. Green, the suggestion appeared timely, just. . . . He complied. Later, Mr. Green slept in the police station...
...everyday U. S. scene. It is powerful, compelling reading, a book for a high place in U. S. literature. It is particularly welcome in that Dorothy Canfield is not among those realists who feel obliged to abandon sound prose to get an "effect." The Author.

I hold no brief for the Southern preacher ; if a fair trial establishes the fact that he is guilty he should pay the penalty for his crime. Neither do I defend Fundamentalism and Fundamentalists as such ; but I do believe in the integrity...
...turnover of some ten millions per annum. By no means content with her across-the-soda-counter knowledge of the public, she plunged last spring into politics, giving firmly-entrenched Congressman Fred A.
