Those pessimists who argue that the effects of the Nineteenth Amendment are all and that the woman voter is a nonentity in so far as the government of the nation is concerned will have to reconcile themselves to Count Hermann Keyserling's emphatic antithetical views on the subject. For the Esthonian philospher, in advancing not only the opinion that America is governed by the feminine sex but that America's problem is "the emancipation of men, rather than the emancipation of women," presents an European point of view which the anxious male cannot entirely disregard...
However, without disrespect of either woman suffrage or Count Keyserling's opinion of its prowess, the latter's ideas might be said to verify the fact that distance lends enchantment and that the European point of view on this particular phase of American politics is due not only to a lack of understanding but also a lack of sympathy.

...magnitude of the political catastrophe resulting from the standardization of the press may be overdrawn, there is another more optimistic view of the situation. The general level of a universal standard for the national press would be kept higher by pressure of public opinion than the plane where much local journalism stands today. It is inconceivable that the tabloid sensationalism that washes down so many breakfasts now, or the pink and purple extravaganzas of Mr. Hearst should ever set the style for a nationwide press such as Mr. Villard imagines. If amalgamation will gloss over with a coat of standardized...
