Czar ban case and world politics quoted in erratic tone
Reading the piece shows a string of political asides about a ban case involving the czar, leaders Heath and Reed Smoot in Utah, and various foreign affairs remarks.

It ends with a mock Grand Army of the Republic resolution against Roosevelt and a quip about mischief being evil.
