...faults of these two numbers of the Advocate are the weakness or obscurity of some of the essays on literary matters and the dearth of good fiction. "Beneath the Cliff," by Mr. M. A. Kister, in the June number, though perhaps decadent in spirit, shows undeniable power. And in the Class-Day number the fifth of Mr. J. F. Leys' "Billet Ballads" has real fun in every line.

He always seems to be saying: "You see these men and women I am writing about were essentially immoral--so it is only natural that they failed--as they deserved...
...Gompers had a great opportunity to prove the sincerity of his patriotism and the reality of his claim to public spirit when the strike came up, by repudiating and denouncing it. He failed in the test; he attempted to put the blame on a governor and a police commissioner who had acted promptly to save the public service from guardians who refused to guard.
