...said in 1920 that Will Hays was a menace to America, and I have never since seen fit to retract my statement. During my Presidential campaign, almost eight years ago, I dwelt repeatedly on a $15,000,000 'slush fund' which I accused the Republican Party of receiving. . . .

Who is so hard hearted as not to shed a tear--even only figuratively speaking at the thought of the grievous impediment which the freezing slush of Massachusetts avenue would offer to progress of the wanderer's roller skates? Who would not weep to see him, lightly skimming along the boardwalks from Harvard to Sever, trip with dire results upon a protruding nail, half hidden by the snow? Who would not but why call up more misery? It is, indeed, lost too many tears should flow, least those...
