...George Norris of Nebraska, this right would be taken from them and given to the people. But long ago the same unwritten Constitution of the U. S. which denies any President the right to more than eight years in office, deprived the electors of their power to vote anything save the popular conviction of their respective states, reduced them to the status of political stooges...
...conflagration of the Crystal Palace last week sent towering 500 feet in air a column of flame seen by rustics in eight counties round about and was called the biggest London blaze since the historic "Great Fire" of 1666. One of 90 fire engines which struggled vainly to save the Exhibition Hall accidentally soused His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, the youngest son of Queen Mary, who was nicknamed by playfellows at school as "The Scent Bottle." In last week's unreeling of an Empire crisis, sleek, scented Kent was most of the time an orchidaceous extra waiting...
London: Crowds now are crying: "Do we want the King? YES! Do we want Baldwin? NOOooo! Flog Baldwin! GOD SAVE THE KING!" Banners with similar slogans are lifted high outside the iron gates of Buckingham Palace. Tory organs begin to call the demonstrations "suspiciously professional," perhaps the work of Communists, for several British Reds have come out for the King and Mrs. Simpson.

He would, the Bulletin reminded him, save $8,650 in Federal income tax, an average state income tax of $1,000. Deducting $15,000 from his estate, moreover, would save his heirs...
...from Salt Lake City to San Bernardino, Calif., entered the Valley by way of Furnace Creek and never got out. Ahead of the Sand-Walkers there was a band of young men, traveling in 20 wagons, unencumbered by women or children, known as the Jayhawkers, who split off to save themselves when the train bogged down, turned aside to locate what became known as the Lost Gunsight Mine, and never got out of Death Valley either. Only survivors were the families in four wagons trailing behind the Jayhawkers. When, the wagons could go no further, two young scouts pushed ahead...
