...Pink Run Loose Sirs: . . . frankly I doubt very much if I would care to invest the sum of $10 for a subscription, for you say "It all depends upon whether you agree with Philosopher John Dewey." Most assuredly I do not agree with John Dewey in some of his ideas. I knew him when he lived in Burlington and was in the University of Vermont, where I also graduated a few years later; I knew his brothers who were good fellows, but John Dewey, while a brilliant man in his line I am sure, does not appeal to me after...
...blood (TIME, June 17). When the defense succeeded in moving the trial of the 16 defendants-young union textile workers including six Communists from the North -from hysterical Gastonia to calmer Charlotte, the mob subsided. Radical Labor, muttering that here was another Sacco-Vanzetti case, had less to say. Melodrama was the introduction. A bulky something was wheeled in before the jury. The covering was whipped off to reveal a wax dummy of the slaughtered man, staring, pallid. Madness brought an interval. When a juryman, brooding long on hell and damnation, broke down and was carried yelling to a padded...
...Scot MacDonald away, the steering committee of the Labor Party was in undisputed charge of its alert, broad-featured chairwoman, Miss Arabella Susan Lawrence, a rich barrister's daughter who would rather be Laborite than socialite.

Needless to say, a comely Northerner (Alan Prior) eases her heart. Two of Composer Youman's best tunes, the lingering "Without A Song," the jubilant "Great Day," are magnificently reverberated by an Afric choir of 40 voices led by Mr. Lois Deppe. Other Youmans' melodies which will soon reach ballroom...
...record if it is allowed. Before the afternoon was over narrow-hipped Miss Kinuye Hitomi covered the same distance in 12 sec.-a world's record for ladies. Young John Straley of Paulding, Ohio, said to Umpire Clyde Crone what many sandlot players often long to say to umpires. With a quick fist Umpire Crone did what umpires often long to do to fresh players. Straley fell awkwardly, did not get up. Policemen escorted Crone from the field, held him in $5,000 bail for manslaughter. On Oct. 20, 1910, the Chicago Tribune published on its front page, surrounded...
