...account of the bean. Any blow at its prestige is a slap at Boston. Indeed, Daniel was cast into the lions' den for not bowing before Darius' idol; if the commissioners had erred they might have suffered similarly and as a penalty for snubbing the sacred bean they would doubtless have been cast into the Cambridge Subway, there to meet their fate...
...seven to two the nomination of Professor William Z. Ripley for membership on the minimum wage commission, the executive council acted as if it thought he were Professor Holcombe. Most of the criticism of Ripley would fit the prevailing estimates of Holcombe and his work on this body. Doubtless the latter did much to create the atmosphere, as to colleges and college professors, which has reacted against the Governor's latest nominee...

In relieving the purely military situation it undoubtedly has been a godsend; but if could ascertain its effect on the German proletariat we should doubtless find that it has tremendously increased the difficulty of keeping the German autocracy in the saddle. There is reason to think that the German Emperor and his adviser are today viewing the question of peace more from the standpoint of maintaining intact the existing bureaucratic government than from any other angle...
