The State Assembly defeated a nine hours per day or fifty hours per week labor bill by a 25 to 81 vote after amendments. The paper opposes for business reasons, arguing hours should be set by employers and workers. It notes labor's antiwork sentiment harms industrial growth and praises moderate hours and wages. Horace Boies, a former governor, is referenced in context.
A clipped article decries Congress for diverting river and harbor funds while neglecting postal appropriations. It laments the inability of the local post office to deliver parcel post to residences in the coming weeks and warns of political consequences from reduced service.
A retrospective piece honors Horace Boies of Iowa, detailing his Democratic rise, anti Republican stance on prohibition, and steady gubernatorial leadership. It recalls his candidacy dynamics in 1892, his plainspoken campaigns, personal warmth, and the writer’s close ties during Boies' two terms. The article shifts to The Curse of the Pharaohs and Tord Carnarvon’s death, dismissing superstitions and Egyptology myths. It then critiques postal service efficiency under Harry New and laments governance tactics. The piece ends with a stern warning on radicalism tied to the Foster case and calls for federal action against revolutionary elements.
A National Republican editorial cites Senator Oscar Underwood of Alabama arguing a lower tariff is needed for genuine domestic prosperity. It defends protective tariffs as historically successful and cites rising incomes, tax collections, and postwar trade data to rebut claims of insufficient foreign competition.
The article argues against the creditor nation myth and free trade fears, defending protective tariffs. It cites Britain’s war debt, Europe’s crisis, and Underwood’s figures to claim the United States should set its own laws and markets, not bow to European demands. It laments tariff failures of 1913 and urges domestic focus, stressing trade balances, unemployment, and the role of law versus custom in society.
A Chicago arrest report outlines ongoing law enforcement actions and legal proceedings. The piece notes rising rates of violations and efforts to enforce statutes, reflecting citywide concerns about crime and public safety.
A Des Moines Capital opinion column denounces Lenine and Trotzky ruling the Soviet Union as tyrants. It condemns executions like that of Vicar General Gottovich and notes global protests, asserting hypocrisy in the claimed defense of proletarian freedom and predicting the downfall of despots who threaten civilization.
Fragmentary scribble notes a restless voice claims a bold action with a pot and gear. The unreadable text hints at a scene of risk and reprieve with an austere tone and unclear participants. No clear dates places or organizations emerge from the fragment.
A fragmentary dialogue references a checkbook being produced to purchase a pasture field amid claims of bribery and modern pep. The weird verse-like muse from a bygone era hints at political bargaining, deception, and public scrutiny without clear names or dates.
A damaged OCR passage presents garbled phrases about prices, relationships, and odd questions. It mentions a Pittsburgh man and a 447 year old claim, with scattered references to sugar, candy, schools, and music.
