...universal storm of protest as revealed in now extant newspapers seems to show how deeply this fatal restriction of the chief incentive of American business was resented, and how widespread was the resultant depression. None, when faced with such evidence, can deny the probability that this psychological catastrophe may have broken the spirit of an emotional people, and left them defenceless against material disaster; but much hard work remains to be done after the manner of these brilliant discoveries before all the mists of the past are blown away, and the aboriginal American is seen and understood by the modern...
...Faith. Perhaps the most striking feature of the time was the survival and even the re-juvenescence of the Inquisition. It was temporarily in the hands of the Methodists, and the Catholics were naturally indignant at this breach of tradition.

Walking early and late to work at the store in Pedlar's Mill, Dorinda wore a flame-colored shawl, bright symbol of protest. Her bee-stung mouth was another protest. Jason Graylock, rufous, crisp but unfound, came home from medical study to take care of his father. He thought he discovered his grip in Dorinda. For her, his charm, and love itself, were life's incredible increment. Wilting suddenly before old circumstances...
...restless speculations and images, and an incentive for unhealthy physiological experimentation. In the latter, they nurse that weakness for vicarious sensuality which is an invariable characteristic of the pervert and the frustrate. Sane people, recognizing the menace of this pestilence of pornography, register, here and there, a recognizable protest, of. which the most effective so far have been those in Washington, Omaha, Chicago...
