...hear a frank statement of facts from a man who knows the truth about our government. Last night Mr. Roosevelt arraigned our government on a series of charges that is none the less appalling because it is so familiar. For years we have heard the plea for a national budget, for the introduction of business methods in the executive departments, for fair treatment of government employees. All we have done about it is to criticize and condemn...
...General Education Board on June 2, 1919, contingent upon the raising of $1,500,000 by Harvard.

The periodic investigations of Robert, the cat, will go on. The elephant will disregard the trees that need to be uprooted and keep on picking...
...President does not hedge on the issues facing the nation; there is no beating around the bush. He suggests the budget system as a vital need in this time of vast expenditures. The necessity of such a system has been long realized; it has been blocked right along by the "pork-barrel" specialists in the House. The question of simplified income taxes shows that while the President has been in the sick-bed he has not lost the "common touch." He comes out in favor of a tariff revision that will enable foreign countries to pay off their vast debts...
