Altogether his Honor found much to amuse and instruct him. Something of the ardor of his Arabian predecessor must have led Mr. Peters to adopt this romantic and effective method of gaining first-hand information. It is so un-American. Perhaps if we could but infuse a little more of this spirit into our other officials, they would gain a clearer insight into the true needs of the people than they often seem to possess...
Accepted by the House, the bill, making legal Sunday sport of amateur character in Massachusetts, is at last on the way to becoming fact. Long have the golfers and tennis players in the Bay State Been deprived with Puritanical ardor of the exercise and recreation so much needed after a week of indoor work.

Many misled by the bugles and banners of war, thought to undertake it lightly as they had undertaken other pursuits lightly. We must acknowledge that war, in its most poetic and gaudy guise, is far too terrible a work to be undertaken lightly. For such men a continuation of their college course would be the best course, both as regards themselves and their nation...
