...FIRST LOOKING INTO TIME Some have traveled in the realms of gold, Even "gum-chewers' sheetlets" have we seen; From newspapers we've tried the news to glean Amid the chaff that makes the paper sold; Until at length TIME'S pages we behold. Succinct, inclusive, accurate and clean. Artist−you clarify the passing scene In crispy English, vigorous and bold! Poet−your magic fire illuminates Th' event with connotations of old time! Serene, you parry while some fool berates. Shaking accusing finger at your crime− Printing one item that he deprecates−Swearing he will...
...Brandy drinking Frenchwoman"-"the dissipated Frenchmen" vs. "the clean living American." You are brazen. Suzanne has a sharp tongue and personally I do not like her ways. However her whole career was at stake in meeting Helen−small wonder that the temperamental Frenchwoman required a stimulant for her nerves.

I think Senators ought to begin to see that, if we are going to fill the Record with page after page, day after day, of extraneous matter, they are simply taking that much money out of the Treasury...
...fair to expect occasional dull spaces in the pages of any humorous paper. But when those spaces are filled with obscenity in lieu of the lacking wit it is high time to call a halt. For years the tradition of Brockton periodicals has been--"Humor and news, clean, clear, and clever." And now the Blimp takes it upon itself to break Brookton tradition with a parody number of the Police Gazette. Such obvious decadence of discretion is incredible. As President Pringle himself remarked on reading the number. "I do not understand this at all." We do not understand it either...
