...wealthiest plumber to the most brow-beaten President. So one is not surprised to find the Liberal Clubs of the world banded together in a Forum for self-defense and effectiveness. Furthermore, their coming "Symposium" is another of the "conferences" which grow more and more popular--where everyone brings forth his grievance and draws comfort from the troubles of the rest...
From the ranks of the despairing politicians Senator La Follette has stepped forth, calm and prepared to meet the impending catastrophe.

At the end of the assigned portion of the contents some weary soul had poured forth his ennui--not in song, but in some weavy chirographs which may have been Arabic or Greeg Shorthand. The same pen had engraved at the top of the page, "Mich, dich, sich, Teufel", and at the margin a sketch which bore some resemblance to the professor in the course for which the book was prescribed...
