...made the least of the Government's departments into one of the three greatest, at the same time doing much of the headwork for the rest of the Cabinet during two administrations. His popularity tends to transcend partisan politics, from which he has been, until recently, free. Unless the widespread sentiment for him proves academic, he is signally a "people's choice." Business, as distinct from Finance, is on his side because it trusts him as a student of material wellbeing. Labor likes him because he is fair, thorough, gives clear orders.

...persists in innumberable festivals, and still more noticeably in the breast of one of the fallen mighty. Prince Joachim Albrecht, composer and orchestra conductor, has followed Count Keyserling and Herr Ludwig across the sea, and has stirred up rather more of a storm than his predecessors. Unless his much-discussed concert materializes. America will miss a first-hand view of royalty, and the coiners of clever generalities on racial characteristics will lose a perfectly good example...
