...ever-widening field of inter-state commerce suggest problems such as England now faces. The new industrial South is likely to bring to bear upon the Federal Government the growing pains of economic regeneration. In none of these fields is the government now active. In all of them, country-wide opinion needs little more than crystallization. One can guess that new fevers will in reasonable time rack the now inert parties...
...correspondent of the Manhattan pinko-political weekly, the New Republic, last week risked his reputation with the categorical assertion: "I know of no really important party man who is at heart for Mr. Coolidge for another term"-yet his risk was not too great, for the assertion is not wide of the mark. One of the phenomena of the Coolidge regime is that its leader has won little affection from either politicians or newspapermen in Washington, yet receives what is known as a "good press" and no little political support.

Particularly in criticism of the stage, whose shadier products receive a wide advertising in diversity in interpreting the niceties of naughtiness apt to appear. The latest disturbance comes from "The Bunk of 1926" which a citizens' play jury has banned from the New York stage. Judging from the published accounts, it would seem that the jurors had decided somewhat hastily and without complete realization of the effect of their action...
