That Hughes advocates in the University are urging "every subject on earth" but the question of a high protective tariff might well go back to 1896, and the good old days of high tariff and low. If Mr. Lazarus seriously believes that the "sole visible and apparently eternal" question of a high tariff is the only one with which the community is concerned in the present campaign, then it were far better for him to take up his political primer, his newspaper or his train of common sense, and learn what confronts the country. Let us hope that there...
...expressions of admiration for Hughes here are pronouncedly militaristic and pro-Ally, whereas it is the pro-German throughout the country who are preparing to "strafe" Wilson for his independent Americanism; and (3) the phrases most frequently uttered by Harvard Hughes boomers have to do with every subject on earth except the sole (visible and the apparently eternal issue) of a Republican high tariff, sufficiently recognized by the rest of the country.

...Ozymandias, king of kings, were "scrapped" relentlessly by those moderns of long ago--scrapped in contemptuous fragments. Nothing more forever of Tirhaka the magnificent, of Tanut-Amon the irresistible! They were consigned to the deepest dump. But here comes a delving American scholar, from far-away around the earth, and, seeking for a place to put his own rubbish, inpinges upon the rubbish of the up-to-date builder of twenty-six centuries gone; he finds the pieces of Tirhaka and Tanut-Amon, reconstitutes them with care, and promotes them to the chiefest honor among the denizens of Napata.
