...From the wild and inaccessible canyon 3,500 ft. above sea level, water would need no pumping on its course to the city. The knife-gash gorge at its outlet was ideal for damming. Thirty-three years ago this week San Francisco asked the U. S. Department of the Interior for permission to build in Yosemite Park. For a decade successive Secretaries of the Interior backed and filled on the Hetch Hetchy project. President Taft appointed a board of army engineers to study the technical problems involved. Optimistically San Francisco voted a $45,000,000 bond issue. The last legal...
...Cabinet took up the ugly aftermath of the assassinations. Obvious problem was to find a new Foreign Minister, but even more pressing was a clean-up of the French police. In command of this force and hence morally responsible for what happened at Marseilles was the Minister of the Interior, grey, fleshy-faced Albert Sarraut.

On his arm was tattooed the motto and device of a Mace donian secret society known as IMRO...
...interior policy of King Alexander was such as to make his murder ultimately inevitable, but it is a bitter tragedy that the French minister should have been forced to share his fate. Since his accession to office, M. Barthou has been largely responsible for bringing Russia into the League of Nations, for guiding Italy towards a greater understanding of the Anglo-French outlook, and it was his sincere mission to achieve a closer alliance with the English-speaking nations,--not to mention his part in the formation of the Eastern Locarno Pact. He was one of the most enlightened ministers...
