...short the nation today wants men who will do something, no matter what party they may belong to. And the party mechanism is not such as to produce such men. Lincolns, Clevelands, Roosevelts have been produced by chance: but as a rule "dark horses" do not make great leaders. Dissatisfaction among the people has existed for years, yet no change has been accomplished. And nothing can be expected of the present machine cogs.

Dark, white-skinned, brisk, almost jerky in his movements, with hands which noticeably wear several jeweled rings and gesticulate in square, but expressive fashion, the great Spanish spinner of yarns is a perfect echo of the life he has led. He does not speak in English. I speak no Spanish, little French. He spoke in French and I understood. A friend put my questions...
Prof. Howard R. Mayberry, a psychologist at the University of Chicago, tested 300 men and women students as to their perception of optical illusions, such as two points of light, one moving and one stationary, in a dark room. Whether they were right or wrong, women were, as a rule, more positive of their perceptions, and they were wrong more frequently than the men, who were usually open to conviction...
