...very long after The Happy Husband begins it is evident that adultery has been done in the south room. Spectators have a justifiable opinion that Harvey Townsend's partner in sin has been Dot Rendell, who is furious with her husband for regarding her, as she thinks, beneath suspicion. The people seated on the stage suspect the languishing wife of a visiting American. When he too loudly voices his suspicions, Dot Rendell is compelled to admit that she, not Mrs. Blake, occupied the danger post in the south room. Her happy husband cheerfully goes on believing in her innocence...

Indeed a deficit in reserves...
Judgment. The Pittsburgh Coal Co.'s charge that the investigating Senators were "prejudiced" was not unnatural. Between the senators' attitudes toward miners and operators, there was a marked difference betraying sympathy for the underdogs, suspicion for the upperdogs, and shock at the general horridness of what they saw in the coal fields. Inevitably mixed with these emotions was senatorial self-importance and a consciousness that politically the investigation was a cynosure. Senator Gooding, who, as junior senator from Idaho, is thoroughly eclipsed most of the time by his ursine colleague, Senator Borah, was moved to speak forth like...
