The piece calls for expanding playgrounds in Butte as Columbia Gardens close for winter. It notes scarce year round recreational spaces, urges school board and city to act, and points to vacant city plots as potential sites. It references public interest and the need for accessible outdoor spaces.
President Elliott seeks to reform the New Haven system with strong public support from Western allies. Morgan & Co withdraws as fiscal agents to give Elliott freedom, while remaining open to future arrangements. The move is not seen as unfriendly but as enabling a clean start for reorganization and new fiscal deals.
Five months after its House introduction and four months after its passage, the tariff bill won final Senate approval. Conference committees will reconcile differences, with about two weeks needed. The bill now features a broader free list, lower duties on many items, and a changed income tax structure.
In a special election in Maine third district the Republican candidate won by about 550 plurality, with Democratic votes nearly matching last year’s presidential totals for Wilson. The result is seen as minor for or against the administration, with little change from the year before and a note on reduced progressive support.
A collage of snatches from multiple papers mocks press opinion and politics. It mentions Harry Thaw preferring safety over sanity, a Pardolphia Ledger quip, Milwaukee Sentinel on presidential appointments, and assorted satirical lines about politicians and public figures.
The piece argues that money has little value in true worth while politeness and affability greatly influence social esteem. It compares smiles to currency, notes that kindness buys regard, and warns that ignoring others often signals rude, uncivil character. A polite person, it concludes, wields dominion over the world as a spiritual millionaire.
Walt Mason lampoons advertising hype warning that vague pretensions and crooked schemes fail to bring profit. A baker serves as example, insisting a perfect product earns loyal customers, while poor bread and slick ink only invite scorn and boycotts.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer satire on marriage and gender roles. It argues women need not fear independence, notes wives’ double standards, and mocks male pretenses while lampooning bourgeois marriage customs and the idea of a flawless husband.
The page recounts a string of loosely connected anecdotes and quips from a Philadelphia Telegraph clipping. It features a Michigan Senator recalling a Detroit incident with Pat and Mike, a Georgia evangelist tale about gunpowder from an old darkey, a foster child ridiculed for lacking real parents, and a note on Franklin MacVeagh and a Scotch plaid shinny friend.
A lively scene reports a fervent golfer welcoming Smith to the links while another exults. The piece shifts to a Southern religious trance scene where ecstatic gatherings cause fainting spells and a careworn anecdote recalls a couch of straw forgotten by a caretaker amid sermonizing.
