...wish to maintain their own low walls, protecting their "infant" manufacturing industries from the competition of Englishmen, Scotchmen, Welshmen. If Great Britain would be willing to make the Empire wall quite high, the Dominions said in effect, then they would be willing to make their little walls quite low. Point: by this arrangement the Mother Country would buy much more in the way of raw materials from her Dominions than at present (because Argentine, U. S. and Russian offerings would be shut out by the Empire wall), and she would sell more of her manufactured products than at present...
...newspapers would begin "Former President & Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, Mr. & Mrs. Owen D. Young. . . ." And among the stags were Vincent Astor, Percy Rivington Pyne II, Charles E. Mitchell, Charles Hayden, William Rhinelander Stewart. It was a housewarming party to install Mrs. Hearst in the old Belmont estate at Sands Point, L. I., which Mr. Hearst bought several years ago. Soon he would be off again to his 30,000-acre suzerainty in California, trailing across the continent clouds of a glory peculiarly dear to a newspaper man. After dinner he gave his guests a taste of that glory?showed them...
After the Sands Point housewarming, Mr. Hearst waved goodbye to the East and started for his own great West. On the way he dropped in for lunch at the White House.

...trips to the banks of the Hudson to play the Cadets. A few bits from the newspaper accounts of the games give some interesting sidelights on the football of the nineties. In the game in 1898 Harvard won a 28 to 0 victory, its third in succession over West Point, and a certain sports writer said that E. Kendall was the best all around back for Harvard because he was "heavy on his feet and easily threw off most of the men who attempted to tackle him." It is hard to imagine any of the star backs of the game...
...unbeatable clan that swoops down yearly for victory is an outgrowth of the above belief. The opinion that the Cadets are always strong, always big, always husky is a prevalent one. It is substantiated in fact in some instances, of course, in so far that the men from West Point are always in excellent condition physically, and that they have players on their squad that have years of experience in college behind them, the myth always increases their potential power. Last year Harvard went some way towards arousing skepticism to the myth when the Army was tied. The newspaper odds...
