A critical essay on political and press culture argues that skepticism and superstition erode conviction. It condemns bluff and bullying in journalism, extols true fighting spirit, and condemns suffragette violence as misguided yet revealing deeper calls for decisive action. It names The Daily Mail, Bernard Shaw, and European tensions as exemplars of modern morbidity.
