Three men of Des Moines?Carl C. Proper, magazine publisher; Will E. Tone, President of Tone Brothers' Spice Company; George W. Webber, Secretary of the Des Moines Y.M.C.A.?were in the habit of meeting in a quiet way, often at a certain camp which nestled in the wilderness outside the city, at which times they discussed ideals. Their little group grew rapidly. They determined to invite Dr. Mott. They invited also George Sherwood Eddy, preeminent among the exhorters of Americans and others, who speaks always with clenched fist, contracted brow, tight-drawn lips. He bullies men's consciences...
...brought back a bit of romantic spice and flavor in a recital of the most thrilling experiences of his life in this week's "Collier". There is a story of a balky uncle with a load of dynamite on his back and explosive bullets zipping all around; another of a colony of lepers threatening to break past his guard and infect a whole city with their dread disease.

Even though the sail has given way to the funnel, however, and cargoes are now coal and lumber instead of silk and spice, Boston's sea commerce is rapidly decreasing; freight differentials and a lack of American vessels, it would seem, are responsible for the removal of many shippers to New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, where no such unfavorable state of affairs exists. Unless conditions change, apparently, Boston as a great centre...
...undergraduate note salesmen would seem unwarranted meddling with the student's right to learn as he can what the college offers, unless it can be proved that all note-buyers are child-mindell and so irresponsible. To brand this industry as "intellectual bootlegging" will, it is feared, lend spice rather than cast odium. Reform can only come from within the undergraduate body and unfortunately much of its mentality has become so flabby through years of notes that to awaken enough energy to cast off this Old Man of the Sea still remains a dream of the future...
