Secondly, Mr. Chase writes an attack on science and a defense of humanism. This portion of his article will provide abundant material for what in simpler circles than those of Harvard undergraduates are called "bull sessions." "For after all," he writes, "facts, especially scientific facts, are the most untruthful things there are." That is going a bit further than Kant, though like Kant, Mr. Chase does find truths at last in moral judgments. Lord Bacon went wrong because, though he had a scientific education, he had no moral education. It is difficult here to avoid making a debater's point...

But he would have been rash as well as obtuse if he had forthwith concluded that the sisters are all alike...
Gospel truth is not always plausible. Neither was California's pre-primary campaign that closed last week. Nominations for two major posts were at stake: Senator and Governor. No state could have a simpler contest for Senator. Hiram Johnson ran for renomination on the Republican ticket?and was conceded victory. He ran also on the Democratic ticket?and was conceded victory. He ran for it on several lesser tickets?and was conceded victory. How Hiram Johnson could fail of nomination no one could figure out and in November's election he was headed undoubtedly for a severe contest with strong...
