...quoting New York University Professor Mearns's jingle about the little man who wasn't there: "He wasn't there again today: Oh, how I wish he'd go away." Ordinarily irritated at reporters' prodding about the third term, generally inviting them to go stand in the corner, put on the dunce cap, or merely rewarding them with a testy glance if they so much as asked about it, President Roosevelt last week was jovial too.

...during these years to problems of State. Of these the most pressing was the growing discontent of Norway under the Swedish Crown and there were plenty of Swedes with an Abraham Lincoln mentality who preferred civil war to permitting secession. On this issue the Crown Prince firmly took the stand he has maintained all his life, an enlightened attitude of calm neutrality (he has been 81 years a neutral) in which the prestige of the Crown was thrown on the side of letting the Norwegian people choose by peaceful ballot to go their...
