Chief Justice William Howard Taft of the U. S. Supreme Court to discuss the Philippines and, doubtless, the impending appointment of a new Governor-General. As he put on his coat and started to leave the White House, Judge Taft's constitutional smile took on a baffled expression. He walked off but soon returned, heaving with discomfort. By mistake, he had been helped into the coat of Senator Robert Beecher Howell of Nebraska. Changing coats, Judge Taft chuckled something about reducing, walked off smiling broadly once more. Big but not bulky, Senator Howell was closeted, all unknowing...
...most famed citizen of Chicago is an enormous man, physically and by reputation. He speaks seldom and never loudly, with a mouth which is completely furnished with gold teeth. He lives quietly and motors with ponderous solemnity about his private affairs in an expensive automobile. Doubtless he will say only a few words at the Democratic rallies, but a few words will be enough.

The unpleasant fact is, however, that the effects of this sluggishness have been such as to make a repetition of the error next year undesirable. It is only natural in a university whose intellectual life centers so about its library that any sudden pressure on this nerve center sends radial waves throughout its sinews...

...Doubtless a number of students will feel somewhat lost the first time that the sustaining hand of supervision is with drawn. But if university men, particularly the upper classmen most affected, cannot use a two or three week period of reading to advantage after the subjects have been opened up to them by lectures or by tutorial conferences, there is manifestly something stultifying in our former methods of instruction. The faults that will be shown by experience to come through the use of the reading period will quite possibly be those of a too elaborate effort on the part...
