Decline in American literature amid restless era
A Boston Transcript column laments declining quality of American writing apart from a few strong figures like Whitman Emerson and James. It cites political turmoil and social upheaval as distractions from art, notes the rise of travelogues and magazines and calls for earnest, morally upright literature with sustained psychological insight.

Yellow Tickets in Saxony as Daily Toll
A satirical piece describes a world where every action earns a yellow ticket from travel to mail, birth to marriage. It speculates on officials handing tickets, city hall requirements, and even a demeaning view of Saxony life with a closing jab about Dr. Benson's Celery and Chamomile Pills.
