...navy, his situation was extremely delicate, as he did not and himself in sympathy with his inefficient chief. The easier course would have been to run away and join the fighting forces, leaving the navy to its late Daniels. Instead, he "stood by his guns" in the face of great opposition; the efficiency of the navy in the war and the selection of Admiral Sims as its head were largely due to him. The situation was in no way analagous to the situation of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1898 when Theodore Roosevelt found he could be more...
...march through the Yard with the Junior members of the society in the lead, followed by other members in reverse order of seniority. When the head of the procession reaches the steps of Memorial Hall it will halt and each couple of men will separate and each member will face inward, thus forming an avenue through which will pass the oldest members at the end of the line, followed in order of seniority by the other members. The first two rows of the balcony have been set aside for invited guests, while the second balcony will be open...
Princeton's fighting baseball nine, which won two straight from the University players, will face the Eli outfit this morning in the deciding game of their series at the Polo Grounds at New York.

That is why people are talking today so glibly of redistribution and dispossession. The rearrangement of two lines never made a triangle; only the creation of new assets will be able to pay off our debt incurred...
...view of the fact that the government's ordinary disbursements were a little less than three times as great as its ordinary receipts last year, it seems rather useless to advocate a tax reduction. Indeed, the people of this country face an alternative. They may continue their reckless extravagance, in which case the price of government bonds will continue to fall. The unwholesome item "loans on government securities" will continue to rise; the government will be unable to sell its certificates; drastic taxation will inevitably follow. Under such conditions the amortization of our national debt would be impossible...
