...terror in Russia has ceased. It ceased six months ago. All the energy of the government has turned to constructive work; the better element is coming to the front. To these facts testify abundantly men recently returned from Russia: journalists like Frazier Hunt, Robert Minor, and Isaac Don Levine, relief workers like Wilfred Humphries of the American Red Cross, military envoys like Captain Sadoul, and government emissaries and agents like William Bullitt and Raymond Robbins. All these men are opposed to intervention in Russia; Herbert Asquith is opposed to it; Mr. President, after your early utterances...
...more than a generation American statesmanship has persistently striven to avoid, ignore or forget an inconsistency in our American institution whose existence is a blot upon our national honor the criminal practice of lynching. Outbreaks like that which held the city of Omaha, Nebraska, in a reign of terror for nine hours, culminating in the felling of one citizen, the serious injury of at least two others, an unsuccessful attempt to lynch the Mayor of the City, and the successful lynching of a prisoner charged with a heinous crime,--are but the eruptive symptoms of a disease which has eaten...

Nor do they take into account when they say the burden falls upon themselves, how heavy will...

But certainly when there is nobody with the desire to prosecute, one has little basis for even an academic Reign of Terror. We wonder just what our young friends would like to have us do. And by the way it strikes us that our Freshman friend by making this molehill into a mountain may have been attempting to make personal capital by advertising the College in a false light...
...refinement. The distinction of frugality is the scholar's bulwark: raise it, and he is at the mercy of the horrid monotony of capitalist vulgarity. A professor is admitted to polite society not by dint of theatre parties and champagne, but simply because bourgeoisie and Philistines are in mortal terror of his intellect. Money-grubbers and little-brothers-to-the-rich feel in his indigence a power which deprives them of breath. It is part of the show that he should be poor. Dress him in the fashion, slip a yellow-back into his pocket, clap him into a limousine...
