...from Kentucky, was convicted of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws and sentenced to two years in prison. The first public intimation that he was involved in such a case came when a Grand Jury in Chicago, in returning indictments for alleged Veterans' Bureau frauds, mentioned, as a sort of aside, that the cases of two Congressmen ought to be looked into (TIME March 10, 17). Mr. Langley and four others were indicted for a supposed conspiracy formed in 1921 to remove illegally 1,400 cases of whiskey from a Kentucky distillery. Two of the defendants turned state...
...other ways will not mitigate the offense taken by the Japanese in the least. The fact that we consider immigration to be entirely a domestic issue will not soften their dislike of the proposed act. Admittedly the only reason for postponing the date of exclusion is to throw some sort of diplomatic sop, to permit the Japanese Government to save its face.

Undoubtedly Ambassador Hanihara when he committed the colossal diplomatic blunder of speaking about "grave consequences" if the bill were passed, spoke little...
This missionary University at Nanking has naturally, therefore, undertaken to do something in sericulture.

The dignity of these meetings was admirably reflected in their published interviews, proving that the American reporter has, after all, respect for a fine mind and a becoming presence...
...that the "little red school-house" has been sadly over-rated, and that we have, as a nation, been taught facts rather than the more vital Life. Untold opportunities, have been thrown away in wasted logical energy although some few might be skeptical enough to assert that any sort of logic has long ceased to manifest itself in our schools. But skepticism will vanish before the alluring and signicant program laid out, and our children will grow to maturity with the blessing of knowing how to live life as it should be lived...
