...unaided. Local attorneys in the Sprague case were joined by able New York lawyers-Selden Bacon, Julius Henry Cohen, Daniel Florence Cohalan-who since 1927 have been attempting to crack the 18th Amendment from a little-discussed angle-namely, that its ratification by state legislatures was void because it dealt a grant of power to the Federal Government so large that only state conventions of the people themselves could constitutionally approve the transfer. Judge Clark accepted this argument and expanded it into a monumental thesis of his own which packed twelve tight news-columns of print. The Judgment. Judge Clark...
...Pope Pius XI he very soon appropriated large sums to the Congregation for the Propagation of Faith (missionary propaganda) and spurred it to its work among the peoples. He, his Secretary of State, his legates and his nuncios dealt with rulers. His outstanding work in this respect was his settlement of the Roman Question by the Lateran Treaties of 1929, and the establishment of Vatican City as an independent sovereignty...

...operations of the police department . . . by publishing a minute description of [felons'] names, aliases and persons. . . ." The exposures started with policy gambling (now a thriving operation in most large Negro centres) and stopped at nothing. Violence and threats of libel alike failed to stop the editors. The Gazette dealt in harsh detail with one John B. Gough, temperance lecturer, whom it claimed to have found intoxicated in a Manhattan brothel. It pilloried a Mrs. Ann Lohman-"Mme. Restell, the female abortionist." It had scant sympathy for Albert Deane Richardson, shot to death in the Tribune office by the husband...
