Candidate Winters was assiduously distributing his thimbles among Toledo females. On each thimble was emblazoned the legend: "SEW UP THE MAYOR'S RACE FOR WINTERS!" The clippings he pasted up on the front of his official headquarters?tales of recent Toledo crimes?to remind Toledo voters that Potentate Brown's candidate for reelection, Mayor William T. Jackson, had promised a crime cleanup, had not succeeded. The prize clipping related how the Brown Chief of Police had paid $7 to recover his watch from a pawnshop, whither it had been brought by a thief who had sneaked it from the room...

More peaceful was last week's news from Tokyo when His Majesty the Emperor Hirohito ratified the Kellogg Treaty for the Renunciation...
...impossible that a man of his ability as a teacher, and of his true magnanimity in conduct, toward others, could have any other ultimate meaning. Yet we confess that we greatly prefer the terms in which he has now expressed himself. Gone are the phrases which served to remind one, even though unintentionally, of the code of that "great devotee of the Gospel of Getting On" portrayed in "Mrs. Warren's Profession." Gone is the emphasis upon trifles--passable enough in the informal surroundings within which the original speech was delivered--but necessarily out of balance when reported in print...
