Such a bill is now pending before a Senate subcommittee and has received general and well merited approbation. It is consequently most unfortunate that its success should be seriously threatened at this time by a vigorous lobby backed by the patent medicine manufacturers. With a rather surprising naivete they allege that if they are forced to tell the truth about their products they cannot sell them; thus even in the presentation of their defense they indict themselves. The power of these men is not to be underestimated. They have extremely influential connections in the financial and industrial worlds, the powerful...

It seems as if the Army will always be a team that must count on one or two stars for the scoring power, because...
...Johnson, the conspicuous high water marks in the movement, but he has a definite program and is a man of undoubted force and integrity. The qualifications, however, which operated with Johnson and Low will also operate with him, and perhaps to an even higher degree, so that the success of his program must remain, for the time, an open question...
