...nation's opposite seaboard, another Governor was being bedevilled for taking precisely the opposite view of lynching from Governor Rolph's. Month before a mob at Princess Anne, Md. had hanged and burned a Negro named George Armwood, accused of raping an aged countrywoman (TIME, Oct. 30). When the local prosecutor failed to act on the cases of four men accused of having taken part in the lynching, Maryland's handsome Governor Ritchie sent 325 militiamen to round up the accused, bring them back to Baltimore (TIME, Dec. 4). Farmers and fishermen of the Eastern Shore bridled...
...Irish-born Scottish Presbyterian named Rev. Francis Makemie journeyed to the Colonies, at the earnest request of Marylanders who had not enough ministers. Presbyterianism had been recognized, under the Act of Religious Toleration, as a sect against which no derogatory remarks were to be made. Up & down the seaboard there were scattered churches of ''Dissenters." none of them orthodox. (Two are still extant, in Hempstead and Jamaica, L. I., the former being the first U. S. church to bear the name Presbyterian.) Pioneer Makemie organized in Maryland the first five truly Presbyterian churches. In Philadelphia...

S. one must picture a state so colossal as to spread from the Atlantic Seaboard as far west as Wyoming, a state so potent as to include the nation's Capital, leading mines and industries and major agricultural areas. To be Premier of Prussia is in Germany far more than to be in the U. S. Governor of the State of New York. Starting out as Kings of Prussia, the Hohenzollerns welded the rest of the Fatherland around them as the German Empire. They struck the national keynote with Prussian kultur...
...baiting Col. Robert Rutherford McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, addressed the Advertising Club of New York last week on a subject of much concern to Red-baiters-radicalism in the colleges. He, a Yaleman, said that "pink doctrines" originate in eastern seaboard institutions. Ignoring the paradox, he also said that the "excessive extravagance" of U. S. school and college buildings is "merely imitated after the baronial and palatial halls of Harvard and Yale." Later: "Perhaps I should have included Princeton." Next day Col. McCormick was neatly pinked by genial Dean Christian Gauss of Princeton. Dean Gauss said he knew...
