...gentleman's game, probably because its very physical nature brings out the best in men. Last Saturday the crowds applauded Boynton not only because his playing was spectacular, but because it was also the clean playing of a gentleman. Coach Moran of Centre College boasts that Harvard will never have faced a "cleaner playing team." That is the real football spirit; that is why the game is scarcely tainted with professionalism and the rowdyism that goes with it. This fall there have been crowds in the stadium who were so ignorant as to believe that the gentleman's code applied...
...mere mention of the names of Columbus, Tampico, Vera Cruz, and Carrizal, of Villa and of Carranza; of Lenine and Trotzky, and our soldiers who died in Russia without knowing why they were sent there or for whose cause they fought, is enough to make all Americans, "who never fight," blush with shame and bitter humiliation.

The platforms were drafted on the idea that "the people will believe what they want...
Shall we learn nothing from experience? Can there be any doubt in our minds but that "the best we can hope for (from the Republican and Democratic parties) is a rotation of good intentions"? Most of them never carried out. It seems obvious that if we have any spark of knowledge of actual conditions. If we want to see Christian brotherhood brought about by a just economic and social order, which it not possible unler the present system if we want to see Justice, Liberty and Christian Brotherhood realized in our international, as in our personal relations, there...
