...seem world-far from the Christmas request of The Fatherland; and yet I cannot send a better message than the results of these researches in the psychological workshop. We feel that soon the World Christmas Tree will gleam with its myriads of peaceful candle flames; at last peace on earth seems near. And yet we all hardly look forward toward such a holy night for warring mankind without the secret fear that unholy struggle may soon disrupt the peoples of the globe again, and that the new peace may be merely a truce. The hateful thoughts which have grown...
...basis of truth. In those halcyon days, tradition assures us, there was a mighty respect paid the wealthy student, however little he deserved it as an individual.

Two hundred yards off, above the trees, a column of huge rocks, lumps of earth, tree-trunks and probably numerous human limbs, rose slowly and majestically. The upper fragments, as they rose, seemed...
...third statement is as follows: "The phrases most frequently uttered by Harvard Hughes supporters have to do with every subject on earth except the sole visible and apparently eternal issue of a Republican high tariff, sufficiently recognized by the rest of the country." I beg to state that the tariff is not the paramount issue of this campaign and indeed the tariff policies of both parties are every day becoming more and more alike, owing chiefly to conditions anticipated after the war. Even the Democrats have come to recognize the need for a certain amount of protection under present conditions...
